Why SALZER’S Seeds are Popular.

The Great Popularity of Salzer’s Seeds arises from the fact that they are NORTHERN GROWN

and that none are sent out unless thoroughly tested as to their growing qualities. Truckers and Market Gardeners will find them of exceptionally high character and of such quale as to never E: disappoint the grower.

La Crosse is in the center of the gr: « growing district of the United States, and right here are produced the Finest, Rarest, Choicest Northern Grown Seeds inthe y 1.

Tributary to La Crosse, as also in Dakota, we own and control over 5,000 aeres of fruitful land devoted exclusively to growing and producing of Salzer’s Pedigree Seeds, and yet, although we cultivate five times as much land as any other catalogue seed house, we can not begin to grow all of our own seeds, but have some grown by other eareful growers for us. We furnish to them our pedigree stock seeds! Pedigree Seeds—You want them! You look for the highest pedigree in your horses, cows, hogs, sheep, ete., don’t you? Surely you will in seeds, too.

Indeed, today no collection is complete without these exquisite beauties. ‘The leaves of the Rex varieties are massive and grand, while the foliage and blossoms of the Blooming sorts are unrivaled.

‘ Countess Louise Erdody—See cut No. 1—The striking pecu- liavity Which distinguishes it from all other Begonias consists in the faet that the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full grown leaf there are four of these twists lying on the top of the leaf. Each, 35e.

Drops of Blood—This is a superb new variety recently im- ported. The leaf is dark, with center blotched with red of a blcod hue. It is without question the finest Begonia grown. Each, 25c.

Queen of Hanover—Leaves silvery white, sometimes greenish white; border yeined; very fine. Each, 25e.

Seepter—One of the finest dark leaved varieties. Each, 25c.

Silverstate—A bright, silvery leaf; rapid growth. Each, 25e.

I have had fine, large heads, weighing: 4 from 5 to 10 lbs., every day since the 15th

As early as the Wakefield, but one-third more productive. This new Cabbage is grown by many gardeners to their great satisfaction. It is extremely early for so large a head, and ripens about the same time as Salzer’s Ideal Cabbage does.

The Onion crop is one of the most important of all market gardeners’ crops. For the South we recommend | especially the Crystal Wax. the Red and White Bermuda and Salzer’s Prizetaker and Giant Silver King, as also the Large Red Globe, the Yellow Globe and the Southport White Globe. | ;

There are a great many Onions sown in the fall of the year, especially if southern and middle states. These, slightly protected with coarse straw. manure or leaves, usually come out in very fine shape in Sprinc. furnishing green Onions several weeks ahead of seed planted in spring.

The earliest Muskmelon that we haye is Salzer’s Earliest Ripe. ‘This is followed by the Blue Ribbon Rockyford, then Burrell’s Gem, very excellent sorts, while the Extra Barly Hackensack and Osage and Acme and varieties of this kind increase in popularity with each season, especially among southern planters.

PEAS.

There is more money made in peas than in any other crop and planters in the south are finding this out. With such varieties as Salzer’s Scorcher, Early Alaska, La Crosse First Early, Salzer’s Earliest and Best, Early May, McLean's Little Gem, Thos, Laxton, and _ Salzer’s Farliest Dwarf Jumbo, you are al- Ways sure to double and treble your money. Indeed, an acre of peas costing you possibly $10.00 for the seed would be a shame to return less than $200 to $300.

Karly Alaska Pea.

Our strain is the earliest on earth of Alaska peas, splendid for ship- ping and market. We sell car loads to Texas, Florida, Louisiana and Southern States.

‘Salzer’s Superior Northern-Grown Farm Seeds.

We are American Headquarters for Farm Seeds, growing more Barley, Buckwheat, Corn, Oats, Wheat, Flax, Potatoes, Grass and Clover Seeds, eic., than all Western seedsmen combined. ‘his we do in the extreme North owning and controlling large farms in Wisconsin, the Dakotas and other Northern points. ! ; (

We have, by actual test, learned that our Seed Wheat, Barley, Corn, Grasses and Clovers, Oats and Pota- toes, ete., taken from our farms and removed to Lowa, Ohio, New York, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois and other | states, increased the yield fuily 50 per cent—yes, oftiimes more than doubled the yields!

With the liberal support and hearty co-operation of the farmer, we shall in the future, as in the past, urge onward in the fields of new seed tests and experiments, believing that if we can get a new sort to produce two bushels where one formerly grew, we are doing the farmer a great good. Our success in this line has been signal, and the farmer stands by us, for our seeds are recognized for their superior quality the world over.

We have introduced new Oats, Barley, Corn, Potatoes, Buckwheat, Rutabagas, etc., that have increased the aver- age yield lnrgely; yes, often doubled it!

Salzer’s Twentieth Century Winter Rye.

; ane ’ We urge upon every farmer the great desirability of obtaining

4 ° es ’ f aa \ this rye. If sown in fall, it will make magnificent pasturage in ; : A Long fe very early spring, if not desired for grain. If desired for grain, WE e it will yield all the way from 60 to 80 bushels per acre. It is

wondrously prolific, a, great stooler, hardy, a vigorous grower,

while as a hay it is of the very highest quality.

_. We know Salzer’s Twentieth Century Rye will delight, please

and be profitable to you. By all means try same.

It is well known that England, Scotland and Russia grow Magnificent winter ryes, many varieties. but the best of alli Kuropean yarieties is this 20th Century Rye. This isesold in Hurope always at fancy prices for seed. We obtained -a fine supply when in Europe, and planted same, and are now abie to offer it at a very reasonable price. Our splendid stock is grown right here near La Crosse, Wisconsin, and is hardy and prolific to an unusual degree! “For length of straw. earliness, vigor of growth and productiveness, it is unequalled by any yariety in cultivation.” This is the description European seeds- men give of the 20th Century Rye. We have found it in every respect Al, and as a new yariety we heartily : reecmmend everybody to give it a thorough trial. We know it will not disappoint you but surely please. It should be sown at the rate of two bushels per acre. in early fall, and whether you wish same for eutting green, or ripening, we unhesitatingly recommend it as the best that can be grown. The kernels are large, of fine color. very desirable for flour, very nutritious. ard make excellent bread.

10-pounds B. Alsike Clover (costing this fall if bought in 100 Ib. lots. only $9.90), will give big luxuriant crop of clover timothy hay after Rye is cut.

- Wisconsin Winter Rye.

Rye as a main.crop pays—pays big. There is no cereal that is a better money-maker, a /Surer money-maker, a bigger money-maker, and an easier money-maker than Wisconsin Winter Rye. You are surer of a crop of rye, providing you sow our Wisconsin Winter variety, than you are of wheat, oats, corn or potatoes, and in addition to this, the yield is enormous, and the price is always good. No matter how you take care of it, rye always returns a paying yield. It is a great stooler, of strong straw, long ears, early habits and easy to harvest. It is a crop that year in and year out, in good. season or in bad season. will pay you better than most anything else. The price is seldom below 50c to 60c a bushel, while the yield rarely falls below 40 bushels to 50 bushels per acre.

Winter Rye as a Fodder or Fertilizer.

In our country there is a trio of Hollanders growing 60 acres of potatoes annually. They are on Sandy land. Their crop was always fine. It never failed them; rain or shine, they had potatoes to sell. We looked them up, and found rye—winter rye—to be the secret. |The 60 acres were fall plowed and sown ‘to rye. Rye grows so quickly that long before time to plant potatoes it was from one to two feet tall. This was plowed under and therein the potatoes were planted, and such yields.

Hon. BF. W. Coburn of Kansas, in that splendid weekly, “Saturday. Eyening- Post,” among other things says:

“Ts wheat biead to become a luxury rather than a staple? James J. Hill says that at the p#és@nt rate of increase in population. the ratio of prodtction remaining the gaime, within twenty yeats a large part of the people will go to bed supperiess. of March 23, said:

‘The problem of giving the masses bread is becoming the question of the hour; beside it all others are insignificant.’

These were not idle remarks, but the result of close observation and study by the shrewdest of the shrewd, and they present the most serious economic problem facing the American as well as the European public. The question of trusts, the graft scandals and other like issues will solve themselves, and though the evils incident to them may not be checked at once, only a comparatively small number of persons will be directly affected. But the question of bread supply confronts every individual in every civilized country. No one community, but the whole world has to meet it.

The Northwestern Miller, in the same editorial from which a foregoing sentence was quoted, says: :

‘A few years ago we had a very large export flour trade and American millers believed that if they lost this trade they would have difficulty in keeping their mills running. Practically, the export flour market has already vanished; the enormous demand from the domestic trade has absorbed it, and millers are anxiously wonder- ing where the wheat is to come from with which to keep pace with the demands.’

There will never be difficulty in finding mills to grind the wheat, but the question of raw material is in a measure confronting the millers, and a bread shortage is coming, if we continue growing in population at our present rate, unless something is done to increase production.”

These questions are of vital interest to consumer as well as producer. With this in view, we call especial attention to our winter wheat sorts, as listed on this anil the following pages.

What is Salzer’s Red Russian Winter Wheat?

The Red Russian Winter Wheat was introduced into this country twenty to twenty-five years ago from Russia. It was brought to Kansas and there it is known as Hard Turkey Red or Hard Russian Red Wheat. It has completely tevolu- tionized the wheat growing of Kansas and Oklahoma and some parts of Missouri.

Five years ago we conceived the idea to import this Mardy Red Russian Wheat from the farthest northern portion where same is grown in Russia into Wisconsin, that in doing this we would get a hardy, more vigorous wheat than, if introduced from or into the southern climes first. With this in view we have worked and experimented and, grown a fine crop of vigorous, productive, frost avd elements with- standing Hardy Red Russian Wheat, which we are offering to our trade this year.

It is a little higher in price than the Red Russian Wheat you can get in Kansas or Iowa, but we leave it to you whether you would not rather pay 20c to 35c a bushel more for this vigorous Hardy Red Russian Wheat than the wheat from the warm and sunny prairies of beautiful Kansas or lowa. ; t

cent. Salzer’s Red Russian Winter Wheat is a bearded variety; the kernels are of a rich color and very ‘thin husk and very rich in gluten. It is a stiff straw, standing up well on rich or strong land, and matures early and before rust or chinch bugs appear in the fields. It is also a wonderful stooler, one grain often producing as many as forty to fifty stalks; thus one bushel of seed will go almost as far as two bushels of other varieties. One customer reported a yield of over 46 bushels per acre from % bushel seed per acre, while many others have reported from 40 to 50 bushels yield per acre from five pecks of seed per acre, but we recommend from a bushel and one-quarter to 1% bushels of

seed per acre. s

' ful wheat, and we believe as

Russian Winter Wheat, must see in it a solution for hard times. No hard times can exist when the farmer gets two or three times as much from am acre as ordinarily. Thus, if your wheat produced you but 15 bushels per acre, and Salzer’s Hardy Red Rus- Sian would give you 30 to 45 ; bushels per acre,. ON 109 ACRES THERE WOULD BH A DIFFERENCE OF 3,060 BUSHELS, which would kill hard times in a hurry. Why not try it this fall by seedimg heavily to Salzer’s Hardy Red Russian and other winter wheat sorts? It is a wonder-

high as 70 BUSHELS PER ACRE CAN BE GROWN FROM THIS WHEAT WITH CAREFUL CULTIVATION. 10 bus. increase .on 100 acres equals 1,000 bus.; 30 bus. increase, means 3,000 bushels.

JOHN A. SALZER SEED CO.’'S FALL CATALOGUE, La Crosse, Wis. 18

Salzer’ s Hardy Red Russian Winter Wheat.

For years we have pushed almost to the exelusion of all other wheats, our famous Red Cross Winter Wheat. We haye sold it by the thousands of bushels and introducing the seed of this justly famous winter wheat all over the winter wheat growing states and cozntries of the world. Everywhere it has given. tremen- dous satisfaction.

However, alongside of Salzer’s Hardy Red Russian Wheat here in Wisconsin the past four years it has not proven as hardy and as vigorous and as adaptable for all soils and as rich in gluten and bread producing qualities as Salzer’s Hardy Red Russian, and for this reason we are giving more space this season to Salzer’s Red Russian Winter Wheat. (See rear cover for fine illustration.) It deserves it. No praise can be too fulsome. too strong! It has proven itself a peer. It has withstood frost and cold and snows and inclement weather to a marked degree. It has produced crops that are simply marvelous. and we believe for the Dakotas, Wis- consin, Nebraska, Kansas, OKlahoma, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa. yes. in each and eyery witter wheat growing state that this is by all odds the best and most desirable winter wheat to sow. It is a Yariety that has never disappointed us, that has always returned paying yields and is beund ta completely reyolu- tionize eyery winter wheat field on earth.

If you haye been accustomed to getting 12 to 18 and even 20 bus. of other Winter Wheats per acre, just cut that out, sell your seed to the elevator and buy Salzer’s Hardy Red Russian and the next year you will have a smile “that won't eome off” when your machine will turn out from 25 to 30 and 40 bushels and 50 bush-

2 els and more bushels per acre.

Just Think of This, Wir. Farmer!

Tt takes just as much wheat to plant an acre that will produce 15 bushels of ordinary Winter Wheat, as it Joes to plant an acre producing 35 to 50 and 60 bushels per acre.

Now, in supplying this latter kind of wheat, “that’s where we shine! That's where we are strong! That’s the only kind we grow, and that’s the kind we urge you. Mr. Farmer, to sow liberally of this fall.”

Our Red Russian wheat is different than the ordinary Red Russian Wheat you can buy from Iowa, Minnesota or Kansas seedsmen.

Ours is the child of this cold hardy vigorous North, the kind that has unusually tali, strong, healthy, vigorous, stiff straw, a single kernel stooling so heavily, that you frequently have from 30 to 40 stalks from a single grain. That’s why Salzer’s Red Russian is so heavy a yielder. :

The kernels are of a-medium size, of an attractive color, possessing the requisite degree of “hardiness” for the production of the famous flour that has made Kansas and other winter wheat growing states famous.

Indeed, we can tell you this on the quiet, that millions of bushels of the Red Russian and Red Turkey variety of Winter Wheat are finding their way into the big mills of Minneapolis. Duluth, and Buffalo, where it is mixed and ground up, we are told, with a hard spring wheat of the North.

The accompanying cut and illustration is a fair one of this splendid wheat. It is a wonderful stooler; ears are of good size and length and a great many of them to each root. The grains are plump, handsome and quite hard. The hull is thin and makes the finest quality of flour that can be produced from any wheat in the world. In short, as one of our customers summed it up, who says: “Your Russian Red is unequalled in hardiness, stooling qualities, productiveness, rust proof qualities, strength of straw, quality of grain, quality of flour and the best all around Winter Wheat I have even seen.”

Salzer’s Red Russian Wheat does exceptionally well on all kinds of soil. particularly so on rather poor, thin land. dndeed, it adapts itself to a great variety of soilS and is hardy as oak.

Price of Salzer’s Red Russian Winter Wheat.

if we asked $3.06 a bushel for this wheat it would be cheap compared with the price asked for Kansas and Iowa Red Russian Wheat.

Salzer’s Red Cross Winter Wheat.

Biographers tell us that it takes a century to produce a great man, a statesman, an author, a reformer or in- ventor. This is equally true of a new cereal, unless by chance you discover a seedling upon which nature possibly has labored for years. : nt kaa

In June, 1893, we were urged by a farmer customer to come and inspect a new winter wheat

Fats 4 which he had. As he had no sample left, we hesitated undertaking the journey. He urged us again, stating that it was worth going to Europe for; that if we were not satisfied with the grow- : ing wheat, he’d pay the expenses. Then we reasoned: That farmer has contidence in his wheat 3, it : Me must be something ahead of the average; it must be something extraordinary. We went, we in- on : Mm) spected, we were captivated. We bought the crop before leaving the farm. paying over $2,000. Now it’s nothing @ unusual, this transaction, for us. It occurs frequently. We do not hesitate paying $20 or $30 a onshel for a new @ wheat, or corn, or potato, if it has merit. Why. we have growing now thirty bushels of oats which cost us over wees $900—$1.00 a pound. That illustrates our point—no matter what a new cereal. or potato, or seed costs, we must have it for our customers if it really is good, has merit, and will prove a blessing and benefit to our customers. When our house was founded by the late John A. Salzer it was just as much our aim to do good by disseminating good seed and prove a blessing to customers as to make money. Both these objects went hand in hand, and we have honestly striven in our long years of business to firmly adhere to these principles.

“Where and how did you obtain this wheat?” we asked, and here give Mr. J. J. Barron’s statement: “Six years ago I revisited my home in Scotland, and brought back a few pounds of a newly introduced wheat that was then creating a great sensation, owing to its great yield. I already had two other sorts—one a bald and the other a bearded—and conceived the idea of crossing the three in order to transplant into the Scotch variety the hardiness and color of our American sorts. The result is what you see—a stiff, straight-growing, hardy, vigorous variety, with a yield doubling any American variety ever tried or heard of. In Scotland I was told that repeated tests gave to this wheat a yield of 60 bushels per acre, and they all agreed that it could be increased to 100 bushels per acre. Of this I am sure.”

NOW, MR. FARMER.

Although i ; j killed out largely on account of the ruinous situation, and no snow all winter, it is now heavily stooled, and we expect 900 bushels from the forty, or, at the rate of 22% bushels per acre, but our manager thinks it will go 30 bushels. He says Salzer’s Red Cross Wheat goes in to win, and it wins, rain, Shine, good or bad weather. It’s the greatest yielder on general acreage ever seen or grown here. _ , there is absolutely no risk in sowing Red Cross Winter Wheat, and big money can be made out of it by wide-awake farmers. Why is it that some farmers will not keep up with the times? Why are they always content with the skimmed milk? Or, in other words, they will not buy a good thing when it is new, but will wait until it is half worn out and then take hold of it. his class of farmers will always complain of poor crops, low prices and hard times. Let us look at the matter right. Suppose the prices are low. Double the yield of your crops. What then? Why, hard times disappear as if by magic. Sow good seed, feed your ground properly, and then with a fair season (or a bad season, if you sow Red Cross) the crop is assured. On the other hand, sow a poor variety of seed, starve ont your Jand,’ and the best season God ever sent will not fill your granary; such farming will make you a slave all your active life and prepare you for a miserable old age. Be wise and keep well shead in the race. Be a leader if you can, but never be entirely in the rear. Think, lan, act. You can commence this year by sowing good varieties of wheat. With good management you ean sell the crop at an Dap enaras ty advance. on_market price. With good management you can sell the crop at a fancy price, for seed, to @2aRaie your neighbor.. By keeping right along in this way you will soon be looked to in your neighborhood for the best seed, and ho person can calculate in advance how many extra dollars this means during a farmer’s life. Try one or two new kinds of seed each year, and as soon as you see an improvement, discard the old and work up a crop of the new. There are enough good new varieties originated to keep something going at a good price all the time. This is one way to make farming pay, and Salzer’s new varieties are always sure to pay you. Just think of the thousands of dollars farmers have made throughout the United States on Salzer’s ., comm sorts, on his oats, wheat. barley, potatoes, ete. etc., etc. When Salzer offers a new variety of wheat, of grain, or potato, you can always bank on same, for it is “More than good,” as 4 pleased farmer expresses it.

Salzer’s Prizetaker Winter Wheat.

We now come to the last page of our Winter Wheats, and believe we have left the “best sort’? for the last! At least we knew of no variety which has taken so many first prizes everywhere—at all county, district and state fairs, where exhibited—as this splendid prodigy. - j : ‘

} NGL MieaE that we have offered in the past ten years, with the €xception of the Canadian Hybrid and Salzer’s Red Cross Winter Wheat, has so completely captivated the farmers as Salzer's Prizetaker. The reason is apparent. Though of a white color, it is so enormously productive, so healthy and strong, so fine a stooler, and so ‘hard and difficult to winter kill, that it will not only please, but brimg big profits to each and every farmer growing same. : : E i ( : :

Now, we know that this wheat will please. It is accustomed to hig yields. It does not give a “baby” yield—but a big, rousing, Siant erop—such as 49, 50. 60 and 70 bushels per acre. The kernels are beautiful, are large and full; it’s a wheat to buy. Now, do try it for the coming season. You will surely be delighted with it. “ When this wonderful wheat has been exhibited. no matter whether at a Country, or State, or National Fair, it always captures the prize. There is a reason for it.. There is no berry so large and plump and fine and heavy and of superior quality and chaste elegance as Salzger’s Prizetaker Winter Wheat berry. It is a wheat that cannot fail to attract, and is without doubt the finest white wheat grown, and isin tremendous demand by manufacturers of cereal foods ‘as well as millers. We know that Salzer’s Prizetaker Wheat. owing to its sturdy habits, its element resisting qualities, will be to you a gteat money-maker. We have sold of this wheat thousands of bushels the past ten years and every year our stock has run out, the demand haying been greater than the supply. We think this year that we have sufficient for all demands.

It was obtained by crossing and selecting. until this new sort stands at the head of all white bald winter wheats. Our farm manager reports a test of 131 bushels on two acres. or a trifle over 65 bushels per acre. Now this yield very surely can be had by anyone. We know of no wheat that is handsomer and that will give greater satisfaction than this. It is a fine wheat for flour, and makes most excellent, nutritious flour, and will surely please.

70 Bushels per Acre.

Now no wheat has as yet been produced that will yield acre after acre in ordinary culture 70 bushels per acre—but Salzer’s Prize- taker will make you feel proud the way it returns bushels after bushels! If you want something fancy—a fine acre piece of wheat to show off with—to beat your neighbor all hollow—that is, if you wish it for exhibition purposes—to show the county what you can do— that is to produce the biggest yield in your section—then you must sow Salzer’s Prizetaker to do it with! That will do it. It will reach 70 bushels per acre or know why on high intensive cultivation. :

Salzer’s Prizetaker is a Money-Maker Winter Wheat.

The price of this wheat we have placed very low; it ought to be $25.00 per bushel. it is worth it: yes, it is worth more than this, for it Gemonstrates to you how to make money by sowing this wheat; even if you receive only 40c per bushel for your crop, you'll still make money. as Prizetaker is so heavy a cropper; and we hope that every farmer will give it a trial. We shall be glad to mail you a large sample package of same for 10c. We hope that farmers will clnb together and purchase 20 bushels or more of this wheat, so as to have this variety to offer next year to their neighbors at a fancy price for seed.

OATS.

There is considerable call for a winter oat. This call comes from all winter wheat growing states. Well, we have it. We bought a carload from a grower in Missouri. Like all seeds we are obliged to buy, it is not nearly as handsome as our own growth would be, but he assures us it’s a big. heavy, extra fine yielder. It is of yellowish color, with some black oats. We would. from appearance, say it can yield 60 bushels per acre. We are satisfied if you wish winter oats, this is the lot to try. We shall sow 40 acres of it this fall. Farmers, it will pay to give this a trial. Last winter turf cats were grown with good success in Tennessee, Kentucky, Southern Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and other states, and we believe that this variety will give greater results and perfect satisfaction. The price is very low for a winter oat. Sow one and one-half to two bushels per acre,

Salzer's Superior Grass and Glover Seeds.

(Write us for Special Wholesale Prices on Clovers, Timothy, ete., 1f desired in Large Lots, stating Quantity desired.)

Grass (and Clovers included of course) is king, for no other product of the land returns such eontinyal paying yields, as the meadows and the pastures. We warrant our Grass and Clover Seeds to be of unusually strong and vigorous vitality. Should stocks become exhausted we will fill at market price,

The Honest Truth About Grades:

In the open market among Seedsmen we find terms as Fancy, Cholee, Prime and Fair, by which different grades of Grasses. and Clovers and Timothy are known. These haye been so much abused that they really mean nothing, Thus, a seedsman, In Minnesota will zrade a bushel of clover as Choice, At La Crosse this same cloyer might be graded as Prime, In Chicago possibly it would bear the name Faney! For this reason, years ago we established grades of our ewan, to which we haye adhered strictly. Lately we haye added another grade, the *Ewentieth Century,”

Under our grades, therefore, we mean as follows}

1. Prime—Merchants sell this grade of Clover, Timothy and Grasses largely out of their stores as Prime to choice, ft has not been well

cleaned and contains some weeds or other eragses or cloyers, and some blighted seeds, hence the lower price.

2. Choice—Somewhat better than Prime; corresponds often to grades like Badger, Diamond, ete.

3. Salzer’s Superior—This is par excellence, It is grown for seed only, and is superior to 96 pe er cent. of the cloyers offered by seedsmen in this country. It is superior, we think, te grades like Badger, Sterling, Pine Tree, Diamond, ete., ete,

4. Twentieth Century—Hats off for this grade. It is the finest, cleanest, purest, heayiest. most vigorous seed that ¢an be grown. It is grown for seed purposes only on carefully selected eloyer soil, kept free from weeds, and the seed saved and gathered under great expense and great care, It is te other grades what rich Jersey Cream is to skimmed milk. We call this Twentieth Century strain absolutely pure, as it is nearly so, as care, and selection, amd pains, and growing can make it.

&S What we say about Cloyers pertains to Tey) Blue Grass and all other Grass and Cloyer Seeds. Sacks, 22c each.

Think of it—it does well in frozen Swe- den, in ice-covered Norway; it flourishes on all soils of Canada. It is at home in Wisconsin, and laughs at 40 degrees below 2| zero. It is insusceptible to drought, mois- ture, heat, or anything that usually affects Clovers. Our seed is Wisconsin-grown by us for SKED ONLY, thoroughly acecli- mated, and is worth for luxuriant growth, $5.00 more a bushel than Chicago, St. Louis, Toledo and Eastern Seed.

JOHN A. SALZER SEED CO.’S FALL CATALOGUE, La Crossr, Wis. 24.

Glory enough! Ring the bells! Shout for joy! The year of jubilee has come! How’s that? Why, sir, it is now possible to grow Alfalfa Clover in every state in the Union, North, South, East or West—why, sir, cold Minnesota, and freezing Wisconsin, and treeless Nebraska, and the prairies of Illinois and Lowa, and the bottoms of Indiana. and the pineless soil of Michigan, and the rich farms of New York and Pennsylvania—yes, every state can grow from two to four crops of Alfalfa if Salzer’s Northern Alfaifa seed is used! That's acclimated, that’s hardy, that’s tough, and we believe tougher and better than the Turkestan Alfalfa!

A grand Clover—The eternal Clover of Europe and Mexico. Our attention thereto was first attracted in 1885, by a large pateh near La Crosse, holding its own through an unusually co! winter and spreading rapidly. Since then we have sold enough seed in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi- nois, Minnesota, Missouri. Nebraska, Kansas. Indiana. Michigan. Ohio. Pennsylvania, New York and other parts to sow 500,000 acres. and have the first complaint to hear on same.

j : WHAT ALFALFA WILL DO FOR YOU.

Pirst: As a fertilizer, it sends its roots 10 to 20 feet after moisture and nourishment, and these in turn decay and wondrously enrich the soil.

Second: Stands drought. It makes the desert bloom as the rose, growing under the most adverse dry or hot conditions.

Third: Stands wet equally as well, and returning bountiful yields in Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Pennsylvania and every other state.

Fourth: It is early. It is fit to pasture as soon as the sun is over the ground. The first cut is ready in May, the second in July. and the third in August.

Fifth: It is nourishing. No clover furnishes more rich nourishment to the cattle than this.

Sixth: Grows everywhere. It will grow wherever corn or oats will flourish.

Seventh: Yields enormously. It will yield in every state in the Union, if properly taken care of, from five to ten tons per acre.

Carl G.

It has been cut three times already this season, and the fourth crop is about 6 inches high today, and will be ready for mowing in less than three weeks.”

R. A. Moore, Professor ef Agronomy, of the College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, has this magnificent testimonial on Salzer’s Northern-Grown Alfalfa Clover: “From several tests made from Alfalfa Clover seed ordered by the Experiment Station last year from you we found that we got an average germination test of 99 per cent.

CULTURE OF ALFALFA.

Full culture directions as how to grow Salzer’s Northern Grown .Al- falfa in every state in the United

WHEN TO SOW ALFALFA?

The very best time to sow Alfalfa Clover is in the fall of the year, in August, September and Gctober, and our own method briefly stated is as follows: f

If the soil is ready we begin sowing in August, if not, we wait un- til September or as late as October, but early seeding is preferable.

We plow the land deeply, harrow carefully, sewing 34 of a bushel of winter rye as 2 nurse crop. Then we seed the land to 20 lbs. of Salzer’s 20th Century Alfalfa Clover to the acre and roll this in with aS land roller, thereby pressing the seed firmly into the soil. iS

By seeding in rye it will sprout quickiy and furnish a good growth! to go into winter quarters with. i

Early in spring when‘the rye gets to be 12 to 14 inches tall we cut Same for hay and then the first crop of Alfalfa Clover is usually ready within four weeks after that. The second cut then foilows this in six RS weeks, and if we have plenty of rains a third crop is ready the first RS of September.

Fall seeding is recommended by all advanced agriculturists and we trust every farmer will give to Alfalfa Clover a thorough trial this fall, as there is no “grass grown food’ that is richer in all qualities that

make a good food than Alfalfa Clover. !“Hoard’s Dairyman” of Ft. Atkinson,Wis.|$80.00 per acre!!! PRICE OF SALZER’S: NORTHERN-GROWN ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. . Pound. Wieck. % bu. Bu. 2144 bu. 1001bs.

a a a EE En 8 ROMUS INERM!S. Vase & Drought defying, frost resisting, yields enormous crops of splendid hay and affords early and abundant : ay pasturage. It adapts itself to almost every condition of soil and climate, and to any use to which grass may be put, equaling in quality and rivaling in yield almost every other grass. It is not an experiment. It is &@ thoroughly established success.

Salzer’s grades of this magnificent grass are unequaled for purity and high germination, and less seed of it is required to the acre, than of any other grade. From good seed, good crops grow. :

Mr. J. H. Shepard, Professor of Agriculture, Agricultural College, Fargo, N. D., says: “As pasturage it is preferred to timothy by the cattle, as shown by a trial, where it was fed off more closely than timothy in the same pasture. It has the advantage of being early and being green until late in the fall. The fact that the Bromus Inermis resists dronght letter than other cultivated grasses, greatly adds to its valne in the Northwest. The eagerness with which it is sought by stock leads me to believe that it is of as much value as timothy for hay and pasturage, and that the hay is as valuable, ton for ton.”

ALuxuriant Meadow==From Saizer’s Mixture.

Lives there a farmer whose heart is not made light and happy and glad at the sight of a luxuriant meadow? To get a magnificent stand of grass it is imperatively necessary to sow good Northern-Grown Seeds. Now, we were the first seedsmen in America to make a specialty of Northern-Grown Seeds. We uow have scores of imitators, but nome whose Grass and Clover seeds equa) ours in vitality and vigor of growth. Our Grass Mixtures will be a soarce of constant pleasure and profit, and the fact that dozens of seedsmen imitate our mixtures is proof that they are good.

They are cheap, considering their high quality jand choice strain, and are eminently practicable. iam They are immeasurably superior to Clover and “a Limothy sown together, as these mixtures con- tain just the right quantities of the different varieties of grasses to do well. We earnestly irecommend dealers and others to urge their 1farmer friends to give them a trial. Sow from 14 to 21 pounds to the acre.

Stand aside! Clear the track! Make room for this noble | Potato, this monarch of early general purpose Potatoes! None in the wide world are its equal. It stands alone as the great, earliest general purpose Potato! |

It is without question that the Earliest Six Weeks Market | Potato, which we describe on this and the next pages, is | the best Potato of the age. It is ahead of Salzer’s Earliest | in quality and yield, but is not quite so early, but is 10 | days earlier than Karly Michigan, Bovee and such “claimed | earliest sorts.” There is another great advantage in plant- ing Salzer’s Karliest Six. Weeks Market in preference to any other earlier sort, namely, it is always a reliable yielder. Salzer’s Earliest Six Weeks Market, which we call “earliest” | because it is a great improvement on the common six | Weeks Market, has mever failed us to produce extremely early, very large tubered Potateoes.

It is the great general purpose Potato of the world today. By this we mean that it is good, extremely early, fit for | market everywhere in six weeks. It is good for midsum- mer, it is good for late summer, it is good for fall, and it is magnificent to put up into winter quarters, where | it will keep splendidly all winter and give you the finest flavored, best quality eating Potatoes imaginable. We never |! can tire extolling the merits of Salzer’s Harliest Six Wéeks Market Potato. There is really no Potato that is its su- 7! perior except our new May King, and if we had but one Potato to plant, that would be the Potato every time. | The yield the past season was astonishingly large, acre |

i ig : JOHN A. SALZER SEED GO.’S FALL CATALOGUE, La Crosse. WIs. 32 - Salzer’s 20th Century Sewing Machine.

In the design of Salzer’s 20th CENTURY eyery latest improvement and ae up-to-date feature is embodied, and above all, the machine is peculiarly sim- bos > ple, thus insuring ease of running and great durability, rendering it almost impossible for the machine to get out of order. In quality of materia] used, accuracy of workmanship, and fitting and perfection of finish, we claim that Salzer’s 20th CENTURY Machine is without an equal.

The motion of the shuttle and of the feed is taken directly from an e¢centric on the main shaft, thus insuring the working of these two most important parts in absolutely correct rela- tion with each other.

The Machine makes what is known as the double lock stitch. the two threads being inter- locked in the center of the goods, forming a stitch which appears the same on both sides. The upper thread is run directly from the spool to the eye of the needle without passing through any hole until the needle is reached.

A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.

I wonder how many of the readers of our catalogue know of the splendid opportunity of placing their surplus money in sums of $50.00 or more at a good rate of interest: viz., 5% every 6 months and the principal and interest returnable at any time desired? This is surely better than keeping the money at home, drawing no interest, or only a trifle—possibly 2% or 3% from local

banks.

There are thousands of our customers living away from banks and other places where they can- not safely invest their money to bring a fair rate of interest, and many others who prefer not to have it known at home that they have money, and we have decided to accept such money, allowing 5%

interest thereon against note, 244% payable every six months.

Would you like to hear about it? _Do you expect soon to have some money so to invest?

It is a duty she owes to herself to look as well as possible, but you know how difficult and expensive it is, especially if you live on a farm or in a village and small towns, to get dresses that entirely meet your expectation, They never quite come up to that what you thought they would. They don’t fit = Nd properly and entirely lack the style of the city-made garments. ; . Now, by our simple instruction we can quickly and cheaply teach you to make your own dresses just as you want them, in the latest mode, exactly as the famous and expensive city dressmakers would make them, but the Been costs will be even less than the dresses you now wear. You can make your own and children’s clothes better than any dressmaker in your community. If you want to add to your present income we will teach you so you can make from $15.00 to $50.00 a week, no matter who you are or where you live, on a farm or in a town or city. 2,000 GRADUATES PRAISE THE COLLEGE.
