A Fine Stand of Rosen Winter Rye 
ROSEN WINTER RYE 
Winter Rye one of the most valuable crops for all sections of the 
country, and it can be depended upon more than any other grain 
to always produce a good paying crop everywhere. Winter Rye is 
the best plant for green manuring on poor soils where clover will 
not grow. It is plowed under about ten days before ripening time 
so as to get all the growth possible before turning it under. Sow at 
the rate of 142 bushels per acre and cover about one inch deep. 
The kernels of Salzer’s Rosen Winter Rye usually run considerably 
larger than other ryes. It is unexcelled for flour purposes. Produces 
more flour per bushel. Has short, stiff straw. Does not easily 
lodge. Has a greater leaf surface. Has long, large, well filled heads. 
Kernels unusually plump. 4673—5 Ibs., 85c, postpaid to 4th zone. 
Not prepaid: 25 Ibs., $1.75; bu. (56 Ibs.), $3.10; 214 bu., $7.65; 5 bu., 
$15.20. Bags free. All prices subject to change. See footnote on
