SOY BEANS 
A good soil-builder when plowed under for green manure. Makes excellent 
hay or silage but is little used for pasture except for hogs. Sow when ground is 
thoroughly warm, in May or June. If used for hay, cut after the pods form. 
Use 4 pre to the acre broadcast; 114 bushels when drilled. Seed should be 
inoculated. 
We offer two varieties—Wilson Black and Lincoln. Both are suitable 
for hay, silage, or soil improvement. Lincoln. Stalk is large and bushy and 
a heavy producer of both foliage and beans. Seed is yellow. Wilson. Not 
quite so rank a grower as Lincoln. Does well on most any type of soil. An 
excellent variety for green manure. A very popular variety in this section. 
OATS 
Alfalfa, red clover, permanent grass and clover mixtures can all be satis- 
factorily sown with Oats. Sow during April or early May at the rate of 2 to 3 
bushels by weight to the acre. 
CLINTON. A new variety that has received much publicity the last few years. 
Farmers who grew it last year report remarkable results. It is resistant to 
blight and most types of rust; has tall, stiff straw and is early maturing. 
Kernels have thin hulls and are plump and meaty. A very promising variety. 
The seed we offer is Illinois grown and is state certified. 
VICLAND. An early-maturing variety that has done very well with some 
farmers in this section. Has strong, stiff straw with heavy, plump kernels. 
Does best in good soil. 

SPRING BARLEY. Valuable either as a grain crop or as a nurse crop for 
clover or alfalfa. We have the Oderbrucker variety, a six-rowed, bearded 
Barley, and a good producer of both grain and straw. Requires 2 bushels of 
seed for an acre. 
BUCKWHEAT. A dependable crop for poor land. Matures in about two 
months and makes an excellent feed for poultry. Sow during June or early 
July, using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. 
WINTER WHEAT. We can supply the leading sorts of Winter Wheat. Write 
us for samples and prices before seeding time. 
SPRING WHEAT. Grain is smaller and harder than Winter Wheat. Not so 
popular as Winter Wheat but gives a satisfactory yield and makes excellent 
flour. Sow in early spring, about 2 bushels to the acre. 
WINTER RYE. Grown principally for a winter cover-crop, sometimes for 
winter pasture or cut for hay. Can be sown up to the middle of November. 
Requires about 2 bushels of seed for an acre; for small garden plots, about 
5 or 6 quarts for 2,500 square feet. 
SPRING RYE. Makes an excellent green food when cut, or will supply pas- 
turage for several weeks. Sow early. 
SEED POTATOES 
It requires one-half peck to a peck of seed, depending on the size, to plant 
100 feet of row ,15 to 20 bushels for an acre. Plant in furrows 6 to 8 inches deep 
and in rows about 3 feet apart. The seed-pieces should be treated with DuBay 
Semesan Bel or Formaldehyde to help prevent scab and schizoctonia. 
The stock we offer is Northern grown, U. S. Standard No. 1 and certified. 
Early Varieties 
EARLY OHIO. An early sort that is well known by market-gardeners who 
want a first-early Potato for home trade. The tubers are almost round, with 
pink skin, and of excellent quality. 
IRISH COBBLER. An extra-early, round, white Potato with rather deep 
eyes. Vines yield heavily and the tubers are of extremely fine quality. A 
most dependable variety, either for the home-garden or for growing com- 
mercially. ‘ 
CHIPPEWA. About ten days later than Irish Cobbler but superior in smooth- 
ness and whiteness, and eyes are not quite so deep. Has desirable cooking 
qualities. 
Late Varieties 
KATAHDIN. A handsome, shallow-eyed, glossy, white-skinned variety of 
fine table quality. It is roundish-oval in shape and very uniform in both 
shape and size. Gaining in popularity every year. Good yielder. 
RUSSET. Tubers round to oblong, of good size, with pure white flesh, russet 
skin, and few shallow eyes. Excellent table quality, good keeper, and very 
productive. Vines are strong and disease-resistant. 
SEBAGO. A high-yielding, smooth, white, shallow-eyed variety of excellent 
table quality. A strong grower highly resistant to blight. Very late.
