GIANT RED COB ENSILAGE Beyond doubt the best fodder corn for the south, either to feed green right from the field, to put up for the silo, or to cure and stack away. It is a pure white corn, cropping as high as 45 tons of fodder per acre. It is sweet, tender and juicy, has short joints and therefore an abundance of leaves and grows to a fair height, but not over-large and coarse-stalked as some varieties. It is adapted to every section of the country for fodder, and makes an excellent grain crop in Missouri and throughout the south. Ears 8½ to 10 inches, 16 rows, kernels deep, broad, and pure white on red cob. Popular with dairy farmers. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, popstpaid [postpaid]. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $2.25, 2 bu. or more at $2.10, 10 bu. $20.00.

HICKORY KING A white field corn which has the largest grains with the smallest cob of any white corn ever introduced. So large are grains and so small the cob that on an ear broken in half a single grain will almost cover the cob section completely. Of strong, vigorous growth and yields splendid crops on light soil; a desirable variety where season is long enough to mature it. We do not recommend it north of southern Iowa, although it has produced a good crop forty miles north of Des Moines. Notice the illustration and if your farm is not too far north try it this year. Matures in about 135 days. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, 7 lbs. (will plant one acre), by mail or express, prepaid, $1.00. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. $1.00, bu. $3.00, 2 bu. or more at $2.85 per bu., 10 bu. for $26.00.

[image] EARS 12 TO 15 INCHES LONG. SANFORD'S EARLY WHITE FLINT

SANFORD'S EARLY WHITE FLINT This standard variety is considered the best flint corn on the market. The ears are of unusual length, 12 to 15 inches, and handsome shape, flinty white color. Plants of sturdy, vigorous growth; leaves are very broad and succulent, and it is therefore of great value for fodder and ensilage, as well as for a grain crop. Stalks usually bear 2 or 3 long ears. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $2.50, 2 bu. or more at $2.40, 10 bu. $22.50.

IMPROVED YELLOW FLINT An eight-rowed yellow flint variety with ears from 10 to 15 inches long, 1½ to 2½ inches in diameter, and well filled out to the extreme end of the cob. The cob is small and the kernel large and broad; ripens in 75 to 85 days. Said to produce 200 bushels of ears to the acre in Massachusetts. Has given excellent results in Minnesota and other northern states. Excellent for ensilage and is often used here for replanting. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $2.50, 2 bu. or more at $2.40, 10 bu. $22.50.

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN The past few years seed sweet corn has been so scarce and high in price that we did not urge our customers to plant it, but last year we grew a splendid crop, both in quality and quantity, and are therefore enabled to offer it at a low price. We consider it one of the most valuable fodder plants in existence, and stock farmers should all devote some land to it. The stalks are sweet, juicy, rich, tender and very nutritious. On a strong soil it will grow 10 to 12 feet high and produce almost an incredible amount of fodder, which when well cured is equal to hay, besides being cheaper. It is c aimed [claimed] by dairy farmers this fodder will increase the milk and cream production greatly and keep the animals in the best condition. It has the further merit of being so sweet and palatable that cattle eat every part of the stalk and leaves. As a green fodder for cutting in the summer, one acre is worth eight acres of ordinary pasture. Of high value also for hogs, and an excellent plant to plow under for soiling. Sow thickly in drills, or broadcast at rate of 2 bu. per acre. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 75c, bu. (measured) $2.50, 2 bu. or more at $2.35 per bu.

EARLY SWEET FODDER CORN Will make feed much earlier than the above and is very nice to feed when in roasting ear. Not as large a yielder. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 75c, bu. $2.50, 2 bu. or more at $2.35 per bu. Ask for price in quantity.

[image] PRIMITIVE OR HUSK CORN

[image] EVERGREEN FODDER CORN

NEW CENTURY WONDER A wonderful variety from South America, different in many respects from other sorts. Instead of growing like ordinary corn, one stalk to each kernel planted, it stools like winter wheat, producing 10 to 20 stalks from each seed. Often 3 to 7 ears to stalk, being 8 to 10 in. long, and of most clean, snow-white color. Of excellent qua ity [quality] for the table like sweet corn; when dry and ground makes the cleanest, finest, whitest meal. An improvement on Brazilian flour corn, being acclimated by growing in the north. Plant early as it requires the whole season to mature in this latitude. Pkt. 10c, ¼ lb. 15c, lb. 40c, 3 lbs. (will plant one acre) $1.00, postpaid. By frt. or exp., not prepaid, ½ pk. 65c, pk. $1.00.

COBLESS CORN A unique curiosity. The grain grows at the top of the stalk, where the ordinary corn produces the tassel. Each grain is enclosed in a husk in the manner of primitive corn, while the head resembles sorghum or Kaffir, except that the grain itself is true corn; hard and flinty, and about the size of grains of the ordinary flint varieties. Sold only in packets at 10c.

GIANT CUZCO CORN A strange and curious corn from Peru, with kernels of truly mammoth size as shown in our illustration, each one being as large as 4 to 10 kernels of ordinary field corn. It will cause wonder and astonishment in everyone who sees it. It is quite late in maturing and therefore should be started early in the house. In transplanting be careful not to disturb the roots. Our cut shows an ordinary kernel of corn beside of the Cuzco. It is a great novelty and attracted much attention at the corn shows. Pkt. 10c, lb. 75c.

[image] GIANT CUZCO CORN

PRIMITIVE OR HUSK CORN It is from this wild variety that all of our civilized sorts have sprung. The ears are of fair size and each individual kernel or grain is covered with a husk and all is enclosed in an outer husk like common corn. In some of the wild and uncultivated parts of Mexico the primitive or natural corn can still be found growing wild. It is quite curious and valuable for exhibition purposes and attracts great attention wherever seen. Pkt. 10c. Specimen ear 40c, postpaid.

SEED WHEAT There has been for the past several years a tendency on the part of Iowa farmers to increase the acreage of wheat sown, and many are now growing wheat that formerly believed it an inferior crop. It has for several years been more profitable than oats, and with dollar wheat we believe it to be even more profitable than corn. If farmers would pay more attention to having the proper soil conditions, securing the right kind of seed and getting it in properly, they would find it as profitable a farm crop as can be raised. As a nurse crop for clover and grass seed we consider wheat the best small grain in the list. As a crop to round out the rotation on the farm wheat is again taking its place as a necessary item, and with improved seed and sod ground is proving as profitable as corn.

HAYNE'S PEDIGREE A pedigreed strain of Blue Stem beardless wheat that has been carefully grown for a number of years in the northwest and by continued selection has improved to such a degree that it is now considered a standard variety in the grain growing sections of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Is grown very successfully in Iowa and will produce heavy yields of plump, sound grain. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $1.75, 2 bu. or more at $1.65, 10 bu. for $15.

VELVET CHAFF, OR BLUE STEM The standard variety for growing in Iowa and it is now the main crop in the northwestern states where the great milling kings use it for their highest grade of flour. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $1.75, 2 bu. or more at $1.65 per bu., 10 bu. $15.00.

MACARONI, OR DURUM WHEAT (Kubanka.)--Yields 80 per cent greater than other varieties of wheat. One farmer reported 49 bushels per acre. It does especially well in the semi-arid plains. It seems to be always a sure crop and will mature in shorter season than any other wheat. Yields profitable crops in Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas. Does well on good soil, but the yield is larger and quality better when sown in poor land. The grains are very hard and glossy, often translucent, and rather large. Heads compactly formed and are bearded. Hardy and not attacked by smut or rust. Sow early in the spring, about 1½ bu. per acre. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $1.85, 2 bu. or more at $1.75 bu., 10 bushels for $16.00.

[image] EARLY JAVA WHEAT

EARLY JAVA The early bearded sort that is so prolific and gives best returns in the corn belt. This is a bearded variety for which for five or six years past has given far better satisfaction in central Iowa than any other variety and wherever introduced it is driving all other sorts out. The farmers are delighted with it. It is a new variety of spring wheat, about ten days earlier than the Velvet Chaff or other standard sorts, and thus escapes the extreme hot weather so injurious to small grain. It is usually ready for harvest as early as winter wheat, and therefore desirable to sow on land where winter wheat has partially failed. A good crop can this way be secured from fields which would otherwise be unprofitable and the wheat would be all right for milling purposes, but would not do for seed. Yields in this vicinity ordinarily about 25 bu. per acre. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By frt. or express, not prepaid, pk. 65c, bu. $1.85, 2 bu. or more at $1.75 per bu., 10 bu. $16.

[image] MACARONI WHEAT

WINTER WHEAT For many years we have made a specialty of furnishing farmers of the middle west with choicest seed of winter varieties of wheat. We have urged upon our farmer friends the value of this crop from a money standpoint with the result that the production of winter wheat has steadily grown in volume and our friends have made a profit from this crop. We issue a price list of winter wheat about Aug. 1st. RED CROSS.--The best beardless winter wheat for the corn belt. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By frt. or exp., not prepaid, pk. 50c, bu. $1.75; 2 bu. or more at $1.65 per bu.; 10 bu. $16. TURKISH RED.--The great standard winter variety so generally recommended by all authorities. Is grown successfully over a wider range of territory than any other. Produces fine crops everywhere. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By frt. or express, not prepaid, pk. 50c, bu. $1.50, 2 bu. or more at $1.45 per bu., 10 bu. $14.00. DEFIANCE.--This is our greatly improved strain of Turkish Red which has a record of over 59 bu. per acre in Iowa. Is extremely hardy, strong and vigorous and has never failed to produce a profitable crop since we introduced it to our customers. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By frt. or exp. not prepaid, pk. 60c, bu. $1.75, 2 bu. or more at $1.65 per bu., 10 bu. $16.00.

SEED OATS BUY THE IOWA GROWN SEED Comparative tests for a number of years have led us to the conclusion that Iowa grown seed oats are the best to plant in the corn belt for the main crop. It is true that the foundation stock can be improved by importation of choice strains from Canada or England, but seed thus imported is always later to mature than the same variety grown a few years in Iowa. Every farmer understands that the greatest damage to oats comes through the bad weather conditions that usually obtain in late June and early July. The problem in oats raising is to get a variety that will mature before the adverse conditions obtain, and one that will produce good grain in profitable amount. To do this it is necessary to have seed that has been acclimated. We always are able to supply choice stocks and are pleased to have our seed oats carefully inspected.

PROSPERITY INTRODUCED BY US FROM ENGLAND IN 1908 This variety when purchased by us in England was so very prolific, of such strong growth and the berry was of such exceptional size and weight that we thought it would be far ahead of our native grown oats. It was known as a "regenerated" strain of the English variety and is in truth a magnificent sort. We have sold imported seed since we introduced it until last season. Our experience is that the native grown stock loses some of the heavy growth of straw and some of extra size and weight of the berry, but ripens much earlier, the grain is firmer and of more feeding value, and the yield is heavier than either the first or second year from imported seed. The large white grains are almost as heavy as wheat. We want you see them and will mail on request, free of charge, a small sample for examination. The straw is very stiff and coarse, well rooted so that it withstands unfavorable weather. Iowa Grown Seed.--Pk. 50c, bu. $1.35, 3 bu. $3.75, 10 bu. $11.50, 25 bu. for $27.50.

REGENERATED SWEDISH SELECT MOST WIDELY ADVERTISED VARIETY For reasons as set out in the introduction to this page we favor Iowa grown seed oats and are this year confining our offerings to home-grown stocks. We know that our oats are fully acclimated and have been grown successfully under adverse conditions, that they are not diseased in any way, and fully believe they will give as good or better results than the greatly advertised, high-priced seed of this variety. Pk. 45c; bu. $1.15; 3 bu. or more at $1.00 per bu.; 10 bu. $9.00; 25 bu. $21.15.

SILVER MINE THE POPULAR MAIN CROP VARIETY This is the standard variety for main crop in Iowa and from comparative tests for a period of years it has proven its ability to produce good crops under ordinary conditions, year after year. It has the reputation of yielding immense crops of 100 to 160 bushels per acre in favorable crop years. The grain is usually large, plump and heavy, with a reasonably thin hull. It is quite hardy, vigorous, stands up well, and shows little tendency to rust or lodge unless the soil is very rich. Has a splendid record in comparative tests at Iowa Agricultural College, and has greatly pleased our customers. Pk. 40c; bu. $1.15; 3 bu. or more at $1.00 per bu.; 10 bu. $9.00; 25 bu. $21.25.

EARLY CHAMPION THE BEST EXTRA EARLY VARIETY A grand variety introduced in 1898; has given excellent satisfaction to our customers and it gave the largest yield per acre of any variety in the test at the Iowa Agricultural College, and is very highly recommended by them. This variety has comparatively short straw, matures a week to ten days earlier than other kinds, largely escaping the liability to rust or blight during the time when the latter sorts are under unfavorable weather conditions. Its quick maturity is a valuable attribute, but its greatest value lies in its adaptability as a nurse crop to grow with grass seed, as it does not stool freely as some other sorts. It will not lodge on rich land. Henry Wallace, editor of "Wallace's Farmer" has stated: "I would rather risk growing grass seed with them than with any variety I know of." Pk. 40c; bu. $1.15; 3 bu. or more at $1.00 per bu.; 10 bu. $9.00; 25 bu. $21.25.

[image] HULLESS BARLEY

SEED RYE MAMMOTH SPRING RYE.--This is quite different from the winter rye and is highly valued wherever known. It is not only more productive but the grain is of finer quality and it can be successfully grown in any latitude. The straw is of special value as it stands six or eight feet high, being better than that of winter rye and producing nearly four times as much straw as oats. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain to the acre. As it does not stool like winter rye, not less than two bushels to the acre should be sown. There is always a demand for first quality rye straw and the price is nearly always remunerative. The double crop of straw and grain make it one of the most profitable of farm crops. Pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 50c, bu. $1.70, 2 bu. or more at $1.60 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $1.50 per bu. MONSTER WINTER.--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 made a growth. So it is of great value to dairy farmers. If sown early in the spring it makes an early and abundant pasture, but makes no grain crop. Our Monster Rye is of extra quality. We are sure it will please you, no matter whether you want it for pasture or grain crop. As grown for the grain alone it will yield great returns and make money for you. As much as 60 bushels per acre have been produced. Pk. 50c, bu. $1.40, 2 bu. or more at $1.30 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $1.25 per bu.

SEED BARLEY MANDSCHEURI.--Improved strain of standard six-row bearded barley. The standard market variety by which all are graded and therefore the most popular bearded sort. It is an early variety, very strong, stiff straw, stands up and stools well. It bears large, well-filled heads of plump-berried grain. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight pk. 50c, bu. $1.40, 2 bu. or more at $1.30 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $1.20 per bushel.

[image] MANDSCHEURI BARLEY

ODERBRUCKER.--First introduced into the United States twelve years ago from the Agricultural Experiment Station at Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Bred and disseminated at the Wisconsin Agricultural College by Prof. R. A. Moore, who claims it is the greatest barley in this country for feeding or malting purposes. It and Mandscheuri have held the record for many years for the heaviest yielding varieties. It is bearded, and in manner of growth similar to the Mandscheuri, but the straw is somewhat stronger and stiffer, and will stand up on the richest ground. Will not rust and is free from smut. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 50c, bu. $1.55, 2 bu. or more at $1.45, 10 bu. or more at $1.35 per bu.

[image] BEARDLESS BARLEY

SUCCESS BEARDLESS.--A very valuable variety. The earliest barley known. The straw is about the height of common barley, but better, and will stand up on any land; on good land will produce 80 bushels per acre. Sow as early as you can; frost does not hurt it. Many farmers will not grow barley on account of the long, harsh beards which are so disagreeable in threshing, although it is a profitable crop. This is beardless and as easy to grow and handle as oats. It has hulls like the Mansury or any other old variety, and is a heavy cropper, yielding from 50 to 75 bushels per acre, and the quality is excellent, both for malting and for feeding hogs. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By frt., pk. 65c, bu. $2.00, 2 bu. or more at $1.90 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $1.80 per bu.

IDEAL WHITE HULLESS.--Is a barley that pleases all who try it. The heads are large and well filled with big, plump kernels which are hulless and of great value for feeding. Weighs 60 to 65 pounds to the measured bushel, while ordinary barley weighs only 48 pounds. The straw is very stiff and strong. It is the handsomest variety that we know of. The kernels shell out without the hulls and are the prettiest and handsomest white berry, plump and oval in shape, that has ever been grown. It is not a malting barley, but can be used for feeding only, and as a fattening feed for hogs it has no equal. Is a vigorous grower and can be sown after all the other grain is sown and it will mature before wheat or oats. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 75c, bu. (48 lbs.) $2.50, 2 bu. or more at $2.35 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $2.25 per bu.

YOUR CHECK IS GOOD It is sometimes inconvenient for our farmer customers to send to town for draft or money order and if you have money in bank you can send your personal check with the order to pay for farm seeds. We make this offer to save you trouble and delay in obtaining seeds.

BUCKWHEAT Buckwheat is a valuable crop for those parts of the farm which always seem to be left unplanted at the close of the season. Generally sown in July and will fill up the vacant plots at a time when allother [all other] planting is past. Can be sown after crop of winter wheat or rye and make a second crop. Use about one-half bushel seed per acre. Prices subject to change. JAPANESE.--A week earlier than Silver Hull and yields more. Flour is equal to any other buckwheat, while it is more productive than any other, and succeeds well far north. The kernels are quite large, but the straw is heavier and it branches more; need not be sown as thickly as other kinds. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 50c, bu. (52 lbs.) $1.60, 2 bu. at $1.50 per bu., 10 bu. for $14.00. SILVER HULL.--Very good, popular variety. Grain is of light gray color, rounder than the common variety, has thinner husk, earlier and yields more. It is preferred by the mills grinding buckwheat flour as it makes a smaller proportion of hull to flour than any other variety. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 55c, bu. $1.75, 2 b uor [bu. or] more at $1.65, 10 bu. for $15.00.

SPELT or EMMER A Valuable New Grain from Russia. This new grain was first introduced into this country by our house about ten years ago, has proven of great value, and is now listed by almost all of the leading seedsmen. It has become a staple crop in all sections of the west and northwest and its position in the list of grains is thoroughly established. It is grown and handled in the same manner as barley, though many feeders do not thresh it but feed direct from the stack or shock. It is really better to thresh it as the process breaks up the beards and straw so that the animals eat it more readily. It is a splendid feeding grain, in our opinion second only to corn, and in dry or cold sections where corn will not mature Spelt will be the very best live stock feed that can be produced. It is in the cold and arid regions that it thrives best, and will yield wonderful crops under adverse conditions. Records of 75 to 100 bushels of grain and three to five tons of straw are reported from Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. It can be used for pasturage and hay after the manner of rye, and if sown with field peas the hay will be strictly first quality. Its value lies in its hardiness, great yields, and feeding value, and it can be grown anywhere in the corn belt with profit. Use 50 to 75 lbs. of seed per acre. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid, pk. 50c, bu. (35 lbs.--$1.40, 2 bu. or more at $1.30 per bu., 10 bu. or more at $1.25 per bu.
