[image] HAYNES' PEDIGREE WHEAT.

SEED WHEAT.
HAYNES' PEDIGREE WHEAT.-We cannot too highly recommend this grand new variety as being the best kind of spring wheat in existence and are sure it will please everyone who tries it. It was originated by Mr. L. H. Haynes, who spent eight years in selecting and improving it in his garden, each year choosing all the largest and best heads and discarding all the balance. The heads are very large, well filled out, the kernel is hard, the plant stools greatly, and, under ordinarily favorable conditions will yield 40 to 50 bushels per acre. It is an improvement on Blue Stem wheat, and fully five days earlier in maturing. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 65c, bu. $2.00, 2 bu. or more @ $1.85.
I was much pleased with Haynes' Pedigree Blue Stem Wheat last year. The weather was very unfavorable for small grain, but it yielded nearly double the crop that my other wheat did and of much better quality.-G. Rubes, Dickinson County, Iowa.

VELVET CHAFF SPRING WHEAT.-This is now the standard variety for growing in Iowa, having displaced all the older sorts. It has proved much superior to the Scotch Fife, Saskatchewan and other sorts, being fully equal in quality, earlier, more sure, and yielding much larger crops. It is a remarkable, semi-hard spring wheat, yielding large crops free from rust. All stock seems to be a trifle mixed and it is impossible to obtain that which is strictly pure, but we think this which we are offering is as pure as can be obtained. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 50c, bu. $1.60, 2 bu. or more @ $1.50.

DEFIANCE WINTER WHEAT.- A Novelty of 1900 - lntroduced by the Iowa Seed Co. -We claim for this new wheat that it is unequaled in hardiness, stooling qualities, productiveness, rust proof qualities, strength of straw, quality of grain, quality of flour and the best in all respects of any wheat ever offered. It has a record of over 59 bushels per acre and many crops are reported of 35 to 45 bushels. Don't sow the old worn out varieties when you can add 50 to 100 per cent to your crop by sowing the Defiance. Everyone is delighted with it. Ask for price in the fall. Price for shipment now by mail, 1 lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c. By freight, pk. 50c, bu. $1.50, 2 bu. or more @ $1.40.

TURKISH RED WINTER WHEAT.-The old standard sort of ironclad hardiness and very productive. Lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c. By freight, pk. 40c, bu. $1.25, 2 bu. or more @ $1.10.

CORN WHEAT.-It is a vigorous grower and extremly hardy. It has gone under the name of Wild Goose Wheat or Corn Wheat, but has now been identified as the true Macaroni Wheat grown in Europe. We believe that there are thousands of our customers who will want to try this wonderful new grain. Pkt. 5c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, postpaid. By freight 1/2 pk. 65c, pk. $1.00.

MONSTER RYE.
We consider Winter Rye one of the most important of all farm crops. In the first place it is a sure crop - failures being almost unknown. Every farmer should have at least a few acres of it. It is usually sown in the fall and as it grows very vigorously will furnish pasture till late in the fall and also early in the spring before other grasses have begun to make a growth. For this reason it is of great value to dairy farmers. If sown very early in the spring it makes an early and abundant pasture but will not make a grain crop. Pk. 50c, bu. $1.35, 2 bu. or more @ $1.20, 5 bu. or more @ $1.00.

SPRING RYE.
Distinct from the Winter Rye; grain of finer quality and more productive, and can be successfully grown in any latitude. It is now being largely sown in the north in the place of oats, being a more profitable crop on account of the production of nearly four times the straw. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 60c, bu. $1.75, 2 bu. or more @ $1.65, 5 bu. or more @ $1.60.

[image] SAND VETCH.

WONDERFUL SAND VETCH.
OR WINTER VETCH-A comparatively new forage plant in this country, which bas proved of highest value and is highly recommended by the U.S. Agricultural Department.

It is the earliest crop for cutting, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for planting spring crops. It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than clover, is eaten with relish, and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. Also valuable for a hay crop. Sow one-half bushel per acre, either in spring or fall. Pkt. 5c, lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c postpaid. By freight, peck $1.80, bushel (60 lbs.) $6.50.

It may be sown in the fall but is usually sown in the spring 50 to 75 lbs. to the acre. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid, By freight, pk. 50c, bu.
