Agriculinrel Seed Grains 

Vetch 
SPRING VETCH OR SPRING TARE. Grown for sowing, 
or sown with oats for feeding green. Sow, if alone, 100 
pounds to the acre. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs. or over, 10c per Ib. 
WINTER, SAND OR HAIRY VETCH (Vicia villosa). For 
fall sowings we advise mixing with Mammoth Red 
Clover or Rye, these giving a support for the vines. 
Sow, if alone, 60 pounds to the acre, or with Rye, 45 
pounds of Vetch and 30 pounds of Rye to the acre. 
Lb., 22c; 10 Ibs., $1.70; 100 Ibs., $16.00. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS (Spring Wheat). It has outyielded all other 
spring Wheats grown under the same conditions of soil 
and climate, the increased yield being up to 10 bushels 
per acre; is flinty and dark in color, being almost dark 
red. It is a beardless variety, having a smooth, yellow 
chaff. Pk., 70c; bu., $2.50. 
WHITE (Winter Wheat). Sow early in the fall for a 
good firm root to survive our New England winters. 
Winter Wheat makes an excellent green feed, coming 
very early in the spring and staying in condition for 
feed much longer than spring or winter rye. A pro- 
ductive, bald, white variety, large and plump. Ask for 
price.

Sow 15 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
As a soil builder the Experiment Stations tell us that 
it adds twice as much nitrogen to the soil as the average 
acre of Red Clover. 
COMMON. Requires well-drained land and an abundant 
application of lime previous to sowing. August is the 
best time to sow. Lb., 35c; 25 lbs. or over, 30c per Ib. 
GRIMM. Only a few strains of Alfalfa equal, and none 
excel true Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. It is the safest 
type to sow wherever there is trouble from winter-kill- 
ing. Lhb., 40c; 25 lbs. or more, 34c per Ib. 
Rye 
SPRING RYE. True stock Spring Rye makes an excellent 
crop where winter grain has been killed out, or for 
sowing where a fall crop has not been planted. If de- 
sired it can be turned under and made to answer a 
good purpose in adding to the fertility of the soil. Sow 
io same time as other spring grain. Pk., 70c; bu., 
2.50. 
ROSEN WINTER RYE. Rosen Rye produces a strong vig- 
orous straw and stools to a remarkable degree. The 
grain is large, plump, heavy and of beautiful color, 
commanding a premium on the market over other 
grains. Owing to its vigorous stooling property less 
seed is required, the practice being about one and one- 
half bushels per acre. Ask for price. 
Selected Seed Oats 
NORTHWESTERN. Extra recleaned seed. Briefiy de- 
scribed, the Oat is pure white in color; the hull is thin 
and the kernel large and plump; straw is stiff and 
strong enough not to lodge. A remarkable root de- 
velopment makes the Northwestern Oat a good drought 
resister—a special feature on light soils. Pk., 35c; bu. 
(32 Ibs.), $1.20; 3 bus. and over, $1.15 per bu.
