HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Seed Grains— (Continued) 

Field Corn 
10 pounds will plant an acre. 
The proper selection and care of Seed Corn is more 
important and exacting than the average grower 
realizes, and in appearance corn suitable for seed 
purposes is often deceiving and its seed qualities 
can only be determined by actual tests for germina- 
tion and vitality. Our Seed Corn is strictly Colorado 
grown (except the ensilage and Hybrid varieties), 
is acclimated and will ripen earlier than eastern 
grown seed. 
Open Pollinated Varieties 
COLORADO No. 13—A selection out of Minnesota 
No. 13 by our State Agricultural College, bred for 
earliness and high yielding quality. The most 
widely used yellow dent variety, maturing in 100 
to 110 days. 
MINNESOTA No. 13—Is one of the most popular 
Yellow Dent Corn for Colorado and the western 
states. It is early maturing, stalks are tail and 
leafy, and is excellent for grain or silage. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT—This is a variety of 
Yellow Dent Corn developed in Colorado and is 
especially well adapted for planting in the dry- 
land districts and in the north, as it is very 
drought resisting and matures early. Fine for 
grain, fodder or ensilage. 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN—Is a hard Flint corn, adapted 
for cool climates, short seasons, and dry lands. 
Ears are of medium size; kernels are white, 
smooth, shallow, rounded and flinty. 
BLUE SQUAW-—Is extremely early and of very 
dwarf habits. Average length of ears 7% inches, 
grain of dark purple color and sugary. Better — 
for hogging down than the White or Yellow Flints 
as the grain is not as hard. Ready to use in 
about 70 days. 
Ensilage Varieties 
OPEN POLLINATED 
For silage later maturing varieties are used that are grown 
in the southern corn belt section. These produce an enorm- 
ous amount of forage. The stalks grow 10 to 12 feet tall, 
are very leafy, but do not ripen grain, unless season is very 
favorable. 
RED COB ENSILAGE—110 days. 
14 feet high; are short jointed, very leafy, 
forage of excellent quality. 
Stalks grow 10 to 
with 
Broom Corn 
The Broom Corns are distinguished by their dry, pithy 
stalks and by their long, loose, open heads called brush. 
The heads, which are the important part of the crop, are 
used in making brooms and brushes. Plant about June lst 
in rows 3% feet apart, using about 8 lbs. of seed per acre. 
BLACK SPANISH—This variety is fast supplanting 
all others with growers who market brush. It is 
similar in growth to the Oklahoma Dwarf Ever- 
green with the exception that practically all the 
seed grows in a ball on the top of the brush. This 
characteristic simplifies seeding operations and 
enhances the value of the brush. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 

Barley 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
BEECHER—A semi-smooth awned barley that has 
outyielded Club Mariout or Flynn over 25 per cent 
at the U. S. Dryland Station at Akron. Also shows 
a better bushel weight. Stiff strawed. Adapted to 
dryland conditions. 
CLUB MARIOUT—A six-row, rough awned, hulled 
early barley; particularly adapted to eastern Colo- 
rado non-irrigated plains section. 
LICO—This is a high yielding barley, very much like 
Trebi except that it is smooth awned. 
SPARTON—A new two rowed, early maturing Bar- 
ley, with very stiff straw, especially adapted for 
mountain districts. 
TREBI—This is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley 
adapted to irrigated conditions. At the Fort Col- 
lins Experiment Station it outyielded all other 
barleys in a six-year test. Though it is a rough 
awned variety it has the advantage over coast 
barley in that the awns thresh free from the grain, 
thus eliminating considerable danger in feeding. 
BALD OR HULLESS—tThreshes out like wheat, is 
beardless and equal in feeding value to corn. It is 
early and will make a grain crop in high altitude, 
and is excellent if cut for hay. 
Oats 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
COLORADO 37—-A mid-season white oat similar to 
Swedish Select, except for fewer awns, higher 
yield and stiffer straw. Adapted to the irrigated 
sections of northern Colorado and the cooler re- 
gions of other sections. 
BRUNKER—A very early uniform variety of 
drought evading, smut resistant, red oat. Well 
adapted to the non-irrigated plains area and high 
altitudes. Yielded 60 per cent more than Colorado 
37 at the U. S. Dryland Field Station over an 
eight year period. 
VICTORY—Similar to Colorado 87 with heavier, 
taller straw. 
SWEDISH SELECT—A standard heavy yielding 
white oat. Hull is thin, kernel large and plump: 
straw is stiff and strong enough not to lodge. 
Speltz or Spring Emmer 
Sow 40 to 50 pounds per acre on non-irrigated land; 60 
to 80 pounds on irrigated land. 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. 
Kernels are tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere 
at threshing. Speltz has a feeding value equal to 
oats, and only slightly less than barley: and corn. 
It is extremely rust resistant, and will not lodge 
like other grains, because of its stiff heavy straw. 
Speltz can be grown on many kinds of soil, rich or 
poor. 
Its earliness and hardiness enables it to mature 
before the hof, dry weather comes on. It is a heavy 
yielder, often producing 75 to 100 bushels per acre 
under favorable conditions. ' 
Speltz makes wonderful feed and is especially fine 
for hogs and poultry.
