to 60 bushels per acre. We sell immense quan¬ 
tities of this splendid variety each fall. Barley

bushels per acre. Ground Barley makes won¬ 
derful feed. Not prepaid, pk., 40c; bu., $1.10.

RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
The seed is highly valued by farmers and 
poultry breeders who have tried it. Single 
heads measure 12 to 20 inches in diameter and 
contain large quantities of seed, and can be 
raised much cheaper than corn. This is a 
profitable crop for the farmer to grow, as 
there is a big demand for the seed to mix 
in poultry feeds. Five to ten pounds will plant 
an acre. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid 10 lbs., $1.50. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities.

Farmers, dairymen, and Stock raisers appre¬ 
ciate the value of Rye as a winter pasture 
crop. Sow at the rate of 1% to 1% bushels

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
The use of Rape has grown In a few years 
from a few thousand pounds of seed used, to 
thousands of tons of seed per year. Rape is one 
of the most valuable forage plants, its many 
uses being considered, that has ever been in¬ 
troduced into the United States. Until lately. 
Rape has been grown mostly for sheep pasture, 
but in recent years people have learned that 
it is equally valuable as a forage crop for cat¬ 
tle, hogs, and poultry. The young tender leaves 
of Rape make fine greens for table use 
and are preferred by some to mustard and 
other greens. To those of our customers 
who are not familiar with Rape, we will 
say that it grows something like a cabbage 
plant before the cabbage begins to head up; 
however, the Rape makes a larger plant, often 
18 inches to 2 feet high, under favorable 
weather conditions and on good soil Rape will 
produce from 10 to 25 tons of green forage 
per acre. It can be grown in the fall as it 
stands our winters without killing; it can 
also be sown in the spring with good results. 
Sow in drills at the rate of 5 to 8 pounds per 
acre. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not pre¬ 
paid, 20 lbs., $2.50. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities.
