A Variety in Big Demand 
First Time at Reasonable Prices 
Finest Quality Northern Seed 
We are always looking, checking, testing new varieties of Grains as well as grasses 
and legumes. — This research is being done for you. Berry customers have learned to 
depend on this book for guidance in their farming operations. We have checked on 
many varieties. Some that we sold in the past have been discarded for those that were 
better. This Lee Spring Wheat is our selection as the best for milling wheat for the 
majority of our customers. Reports we have rank it materially better than others in 
all around performance. Excellent milling qualities and big yield. 
The Iowa station. reports Lee as being most resistant of spring varieties to leaf rust 
and states it is a high yielding variety that stands up well. The big demand there has 
been for Lee Wheat which proves that the variety is selling itself. Farmers have seen and 
heard about it and want it. It should please you too. That always happens when it 
proves itself superior. It is during this period of early development that growers can 
often sell their crops at premium prices for seed purposes. ; 
A Top Quality Variety and Big Yielder 
Lee is a high quality Wheat. It has excellent milling qualities. It has consistently, 
similar point. 
FOR EXTRA 
| ER 4 PASTURE 
Every spring we get many calls for a crop to sow for early 
hay or pasture. This year the demand will undoubtedly be 
heavier than:it has been for many a year. The drought of last 
fall has created serious feed problems on countless thousands 
of farms. There are crops like Sudan that will help, but they 
can’t be sown until the ground is thoroughly warm. What is 
needed is something that can be sown early. You need a crop 
that will withstand frost yet grow fast. You want a heavy pro- 
ducer and good feeding value. 
There isn’t a crop, in our opinion, that will do this job like 
Winter Rye. Don’t use spring Rye, it won’t stool freely. Ordi- 
nary Winter Rye may taint the flavor of the milk if you pasture 
cows on it. The Balbo Rye does not do this and, therefore, that 
is the kind to sow. You can put it in just as early... 
as you can get a seedbed prepared. Sow1% to2 
bushels per acre. c 
You can begin using it when about 8 inches — 
high. Some like to divide pasture and pasture part 
while other is making a new growth. As a rule, 
you can keep right on pasturing until mid summer. 
Then you can have Sudan ready if you still need 
more temporary pasture. 
Rye can be used for hay if cut before maturity. 
Winter Rye sown in spring seldom makes a grain 
crop. It is good to plow under for green manure. 
This Balbo Rye has become very scarce as prac- 
tically all available seed went in the ground last 
fall. We, however, anticipated the great need for 
it this spring. It probably won’t be enough, so 
please order early. See Item 200 on price list.

We are sometimes asked where spring wheat can be grown. That will vary according 
to season and how early you can get it in the ground. We have grown good yields of 
spring wheat in southern Iowa in years when it did not get too hot too early. Normally 
this is a little too far south for spring wheat, but from Central Iowa on north it should 
do O.K. especially if Northern grown seed is used and early seedings are made. 
Our seed is Northern grown and will be shipped direct from Fargo No. Dakota or

HENRY wWiine 
This is one of the heaviest yielding varieties of spring wheat. 
The grain does not make as good a quality of flour as Lee Wheat 
but makes wonderful feed. A good many farmers want a wheat for 
this purpose. If big yields and high feeding quality, you should 
consider Henry Spring Wheat. 
The grain is bearded and is medium late in maturity. Has tall’ 
medium stiff straw. Variety is moderately resistant to stem rust, 
leaf rust, smut and black chaff. The variety was originated in 
Wisconsin, but is now being grown over a wide area in adjoining 
states and others having similar climatic conditions. 
We believe there is a definite need for this type of wheat in a 
large part of our customer trade area. Therefore, we are very glad 
to be in position to sell you this variety this year. Our seed is of 
splendid quality. Shipment is guaranteed to please you in every 
way—See Item 199 on price list. 
This Crop should not be confused with Cowpeas. 
They are a warm weather crop and planted mostly in 
southern st&tes. Our Field Peas are true peas. They 
are sometimes referred to as Canada Field Peas. They 
ean and should be sown as early in the spring as pos- 
sible. They like a cool growing season. If you need 
an early hay crop that is high in protein, sow a bushel 
of these peas with 2 bu. of Oats per acre. Peas are 
vine-like. The oats help hold them erect. Cut the crop 
for hay when Oats are in the dough stage. The produc- 
tion is heavy. The feed is fattening. Also good to cut 
and feed green. It is also a good crop to plow under 
for green manure. Inoculate your seed. See Item 189 
on Price List. Seed supplies limited.
