Sow 15 to 25 Ibs. 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. 
GRIMM, BLACKFOOT. State sealed and certified. Idaho grown. 
True Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. It is the safest type to sow 
wherever there is trouble from winter-killing. 
Lb., 95c; 10 lbs. or more, 88c per lb. 
COMMON ALFALFA. This strain has given very satisfactory 
results in New England.

Barley 
WISCONSIN No. 38. The beards are smooth and no 
barbs. Excellent for feeding green. 
Pk., $1.15; bu., $4.10. 
Buckwheat 
JAPANESE. Entirely distinct from all other varie- 
ties. It has the advantage of remaining some time 
in bloom and produces seed earlier. It resists 
drought and blight better than most varieties. 
PE., 95c; bu., $3.45. 
Canada Field Peas 
CANADA PEAS may also be sown with other grains 
as well as with Oats, and are sometimes sown in 
August with Barley. They are also sometimes sown 
alone. Choice stock for seed. 
Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 100 lbs., $13.00. 
Millets 
HUNGARIAN (Hungarian Grass). An excellent food 
for horses when cured. Each root sends up several 
slender stems which often branch. The leaves grow 
upright, rather narrow. Heads are borne erect or 
nearly so, about four inches long, dark purple in 
color. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
GOLDEN. This variety is extensively used through- 
out the United States. It is sown at the same time 
and at the same rate per acre as the common Millet. 
Grows more vigorous, gives a much larger yield of 
hay than common Millet. 
Lb., 17c; 10 lbs., $1.30; 100 lbs., $12.00. 
JAPANESE (Panicum frumentacea). It is entirely 
distinct from all other Millets. Grows from 6 to 9 
feet high, stands up well, and yields enormous crops. 
Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.05; 100 lbs., $9.50. 
Certified Seed Oats 
VICTORY. A tall growing white-kerneled variety 
which is recommended as a heavy yielder. The 
straw is stiff and strong enough not to lodge. It was 
developed at the Svalof Station in Sweden and out- 
yields the Swedish Select type. It should not be 
confused with that variéty. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.40. 
MOHAWK CERTIFIED. The Mohawk is a selection 
from a Bond and D67 cross. It derives its rust and 
smut resistance from its Bond parent and is also re- 
sistant to blight. The straw is about 36 inches in 
height and the grain matures early. Cornell highly 
recommends Mohawk over Vicland. 
Pk., 65c; bu., $2.20.
