Prices Subject to Market Fluctuations.
Farmers must be very careful this season where they get their
seed corn. It does not pay to run the risk of losing the crop just to
save a few cents per acre. One had better buy the best corn and
plant less acrage. He is then sure of having a good yield, good corn
and good prices.
The seed corn we offer this season is NebrasKa grown and much
of it comes from fields that made as high as 75 bushels per acre
It is all hand picked, dry, well matured and tipped. We feel that the
farmers will not want to experiment this season On any new varities,
hence we offer only those kinds that have proven perfectly satisfac-
tory and well adapted to our climate.
It will be important that you place your order early. The best al-
ways goes first and prices are sure to go higher.
Nebraska White Prize—Ears are
largeAind well filled at both ends, the
tte cob being hardly visible. The
kernels are deep and wide, ranging
from 16 to 22 rows totheear. The corn
is medium early and yields frequently
75 bushels to the acre. Our stock this
season is dry and well matured and pure
white. White corn stands the drouth
much better than yellow and usually
sells for more money on the markets.
Why not plant a large acreage of our
Nebraska White Prize. Price, 40¢ peck;
75c 4% bushel; $1.25 per bushel.
Nebraska White Prize.
/ Nebraska Yellow Prize—This corn while something like our White Prize does not have quite
as large ears nor as many rows. The kernels are deep and broad of a rich yellow color and well
dented. Cobs are small and dry out quickly. We have sold this variety for several years and it has
always given the best of satisfaction. If you wish good large yellow corn we advise you to plant our
Nebraska Yellow Prize. Price, 40¢c peck; 75c 4 bu.; $1.25 per bu.
\ ‘Improved Leaming—A yellow dent corn with small cobs, and long deep golden kernels; quite
early, ripening in 90’to 95 days ‘Two ears usually grow on each stalk. This makes the yield per
acre equal that of much larger corn. We have known this corn to yield as much as 90 bu. per acre,
There is nothing better for an extra early corn. Price, 40¢ peck; 75c % bu.; $1.25 per bu.
owa Gold Mine—A yaluable medium early yellow variety; ears are not excessively large, but
good sized and symmetrical. The bright golden yellow kernels are deep, and cobs small, therefore
drying out nearly as soon as husked. Price, 40c peck; 7T5e 4g bu.; $1.25 per bu.

or Manitoba Millet. A splendid variety for fat-
tening hogs. In such localities where corn does

ter yield than Hog Millet. Not only is the seed
good for fattening hogs, but the hay is excellent
food for cattle. Write for prices.

Dwarf Essex Rape, Second Growth, One Plant.
Dwarf Essex Rape is an annual resemb-
ling the leaf and stalk of the Rutabaga. It is the
best rapid growing forage plant yet introduced.
It continues to grow after being repeatedly eaten
off. It grows about 3 feet with such heavy
leaves that it smothers out the weeds. It isready
for pasture in from 6 to 10 weeks and produces
25 to 30 tons of rich succulent green forage to the
acre. It may be sown any time from April to
July. It is a good catch crop and withstands
drouth. To secure best results it should be
planted in drills 3 lbs. to acre; broadcast 5 lbs. to
acre. Price 20c per lb., post paid. By freight,
12 lbs. for $1.00,
For Sheep—The feeding value of Rape excels
all other plants known. 5 acres planted to Rape
at a cost of $1.50 will feed 40 lambs eight weeks.
They will gain from 3 to 5 lbs. per week. The
fattening properties of Rape are probably twice
as good as those of clover.
For Hogs—Parties who tried Rape last year
for hogs were more than pleased with it. It is
well liked by the hogs and keeps them in the very
healthiest condition. It will carry more hogs
through our hot dry summers than four times the
amount of land planted to anything else,
For Cattle—As cattle are very fond of Rape
it makes a splendid late fall green pasture for
them. Cattle must have plenty of salt while
feeding on Rape.
Rape cannot be cured like cane and millet.
For Chickens—Plant Rape for your chick-
ens and they will not bother your garden.

to make the shell. Oyster shells -furnish them
with this material, It also contains many essen-
tial compounds of the egg. Price, 17 lbs. for 25c;
50 lbs. for 50c; 100 lbs. for 90c.

Mica Crystal Grit. This is the Standard

Unlike any other grit this one is formed of layers
which by action of the gizzard flake off, thus
keeping the edges sharp and making 1t the best
grinder. Not only your large fowls, but your
small chickens must have grit. Most so called
Chicken Cholera is simply indigestion caused by
lack of grit with which to grind the food. We

CULTURE,—Sow early sorts as soon as the
ground can be gotten into condition. If the soil
is light the peas may be planted 3 to 6 inches
deep, and will bear heavier and longer on that
account; sow thickly. In planting deep do not
cover more than 2 inches at first, drawing the
balance of soil around the shoots as soon as they
appear. Cultivate thoroughly, and pick the pods
as soon as filled out, otherwise the vines will
stop bearing. Second early and late sorts should
be planted in double rows, alternately 8 inches
and 2 feet apart. The vines in this way will ins
terlace, helping to support each other. Wrinkleé
peas are not so hardy, but are sweeter than the
smooth sorts. Successive plantings should be
made ete pea the season, in order that a sup-
ply may be kept on hand.

NORTHERN GROWN.
With no other seed is the importance of changing more essential than with the Potato. By using
our Northern Grown Seed you are assured of early maturity, increased yield and a vigorous growth.
Our stock, as usual, has been grown from selected seed, and expressly for seed purposes. At prices
quoted potatoes are forwarded by freight. The purchaser assumes risk of heating or freezing.
Freight on one bushel will be no more than on one peck. Prices subject to market fluctuations.
Extra Early Acme. The Acme is a little
earlier than the Early Ohio and usually more pro-
ductive. ‘‘Tubers are oblong, skin flesh color, flesh

Extra Early Acme. Early Six Weeks. [This seed was grown in
Wisconsin.] Grows medium to large size, oblong to
round shape, light flesh colored skin, white flesh, very smooth, eyes even with the surface, tubers,
grow close together in the hill. The tops and tubers grow rapidly, and at six weeks from planting,
under favorable circumstances, are of a fine marketable size, and reach maturity in seventy-two
days. Asa table potato they are not excelled; even for late spring they keep sound and solid. The
Early Six Weeks is very evidently a seedling of the Early Ohio, which it very closely resembles in
every way, but is earlier, makes rather taller stalks, and appears to yield better than the Early Ohio.

tremendous growing power. It has yielded great crops every year. It is nof as smooth as Carman
No. 38, having a skin that is very strongly netted and being a little inclined to irregularity of surface,
but we consider it superior in quality to No.8. We call the quality very good indeed. Price, peck,

Carman No. 3. Doubtless the most popular late potato of the newer varieties, and certainly
one of the most worthy. It yields great crops of fine, large, smooth potatoes, even under the most
unfavorable circumstances, and can be relied upon to bring in money. It was introduced as **the
handsomest large potato ever produced.’’ It was claimed that it would ‘toutyield any other
potato whatever,’’ and that ‘‘practically every potato is of marketable size,’’ Our experience
with it confirms these excellent qualities. It will certainly do to ‘‘tie to,’’ as it is a sort of an iron-

RADISHES
Radies und Rettig.
_ One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill.
CuLTURE.—Plant as early as the ground can be
got into condition, after pulverizing the soil thor-
oughly with a garden rake and removing all rub-
bish. Sow 1 inch deep, in drills 14 inches apart,
and thin out to one plant every 2 inches. Culti-
vate frequently and keep free from weeds; water
during dry spells, and in every way endeavor to
force the growth, as the quickly formed root will
be crisp and tender, whereas a slow-growing, tardy
crop is very liable to be pithy and woody, or per- '
haps go to seed without forming roots of any value.
Sow winter radishes after Aug. 1, and if it is de-
sired to winter them, trench in the same way as
tuyhips.

FOR SPRING PLANTING---Ready in April.

Plant in deep, rich soil, when the ground becomes warm. For earliest flowering the tender
bulbs may be started in the house. For succession of bloom plant up to June Ist. After fall frost,
lift the bulbs, removing the tops, let them dry, and then store in a cool, dry place, away from frost,
for planting the following spring. The hardy varieties will stand the winter out doors. It is well,
however, to protect them with a covering of litter or straw; otherwise they require little or no care.
Though they will bloom more freely, and the colors will be richer if,a good fertilizer is added each
year.

OpEN GROUND CULTURE, Plant any time up to January list, where the ground is unfrozen,
they will bloom earlier if planted in October or November.
Som. Any good rich black soil. The surface of bed should be slightly raised at center, so that
water will not stand.
WINTER PROTECTION. When severe freezing begins cover the bed with four to six inches of
leaves, or a lighter mulching of coarse manure.
Por CuLtureE. Plant in pots leaving the top of bulbs (except Lilies) just exposed. Water
well and put away in a dark, cool place for a few weeks, the aim should be to prevent the tops start-
ing until the roots have become strong and vigorous. Do not water again unless very dry. They
may then be placed in gentle heat in a sunny window.
