TO OUR PATRONS.
We hand you our catalogue for 1907 and ask you to read it carefully. —
; ; i i | ill be
Do not lay it aside without sending us your order. We know you wi
pleased with our seeds, every one is that uses them. Give us a trial. ae
Good seeds, good soil and good tillage are three requisites -in the se 1
tion of good crops, and we assure you that we shall do our part in supp vie
the first, and if you plant them in the proper soil and look well to the culti
rati need have no fear of the result. :
ae In’ Garden Seeds a fair crop has been barvesueg of most kinds, and with
: i nion Seed, there will be no shortage.
ioe See eta Gea the crop of Kentucky Blue Grass is short and the price
high, while of other seeds there will be no surplus, and on Clover and Alfalfa
the prices will continue high. : : ;
To those who have in past years favored us with their patronage it is
not necessary to speak of our unremitting effort to supply none but the
purest of seeds; but to such as have not yet given us a trial we wish to
state that, recognizing fully the prime importance of purity in seeds, we
have spared no pains to secure only the highest grade to be had and we feel
sure that our stock will give the best of satisfaction. We hope this year not
only to receive the orders of our old friends, but also to secure those of
many with whom we have not yet had the pleasure of trading.
We have long made a study of the kinds of seeds best adapted to the
Western trade and both farmers and gardeners will find our suggestions of
value. Dealers buying their first stocks will be gladly assisted in their
choice of such varieties as will meet with most ready sale in their vicinity.
The amount of seed and the distance apart to plant is noted in the des-
cription of every variety in this catalogue. For the depth the general rule
is: Cover seed equal to four times the smallest diameter.

MANGEL AND SUGAR BEETS.
Stock Feeding Varieties. One oz. to 100 ft. drill, 2
to 3 ft. each way; 5 lbs. per acre. Special prices
for large quantities.
We cannot recommend too strongly the increased
use of Mangels and Sugar Bcets for feeding cattle,
sheep and hogs.
They make a much heavier yield than turnips and
are much more nutritious. Fed to milch cows, they
largely increase the quantity of milk. Try them.
Plant in April or May. :
The following varieties are easily: grown and har-
vested, and their value cannot be overestimated.

One oz. for 2,000 plants; % lb. of seed in beds to transplant an acre 18x30 inches apart.
‘To market gardeners generally no vegetable is of greater importance than the
cabbage, and to many growers the success or failure of this crop means gain or loss
for the year. You cannot afford to take any risk in buying seed. Our cabbage seed
is the best that can be grown, raised only from carefully selected, solid heads.
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD—Among its merits may be mentioned its large size
of head for an early sort, small outside foliage and its uniformity in producing a crop.
The heads begin to mature the latter end of June to the first of July, and may be cut
in succession for several weeks. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 65e; Ib. $2.00.
LARGE JERSEY OR CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD—This sort forms uniform solid
heads, considerably larger than the Early Wakefield and matures only a few days later;
on clay ground it will mature just as early. Largely planted by gardeners in the South.
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; %4 lb. 70c; Ib. $2.00.
NEW EXPRESS—This cabbage has proven itself
to be the earliest in cultivation. While not as large
as the Jersey Wakefield, it is 4 to 5 days earlier,
uniform in size and shape, very solid and firm, and
of fine, mild flavor; having but few outside leaves,
they can be planted close and thus secure large crop.
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 60c; lb. $1.75.
EARLY YORK—An early variety, heads small,
heart shaped, firm and tender; of very dwarf growth.
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; %4 lb. 40c; Ib. $1.50.
EARLY WINNINGSTADT—A good variety for
general use, being a sure header. Comes in about
three weeks later than the first early sorts. Pkt.

ALL HEAD EARLY CABBAGE—It is the earliest
of all large cabbages. It is fully one-third larger

markably solid and uniform in color as well as in
shape and size. It is very tender and of fine qual-
ity. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; % lb. 65c; Ib. $2.00. <

as last year from cur seed. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 70c; Ib. $2.50.
DRUMHEAD SAVOY—An excellent winter and spring family cabbage, partaking par-
tially of the size of the Drumhead and of the curled leaves of the Savoy. Market gar-

FORDHOOK EARLY—“This new melon has been grown side by side with all other
early sorts, and has proven itself to be the earliest of all.” From seed planted on
the tenth day of May, large, ripe melons were picked the last week in July, thus
demonstrating its inbred character of maturing extra early. The average weight of
the melons, even during an exceptionally bad season, was thirty-five pounds each—a
size rarely attained by any other extra early melon under favorable conditions. The
rind is tough, making it a valuable variety for shipping; the outer color is a uniform
medium green; seeds white; flesh is bright red and very sweet. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4

COLE’S EARLY—lIt is the finest everyday melon for the amateur that we have
ever seen, a sure cropper, and extremely delicate in texture of flesh, which is of a
dark red color; the rind is thin, and the quality of the flesh is sustained clear to
the rind. It is, however, exceedingly brittle, hence not desirable for shipping pur-
poses, but possessing all the other most desirable features, can highly recommend it
for home use. The melons are of medium size, nearly round in shape; green, striped
with lighter shades. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 1b. 20c; lb. 60c.

It is the largest early water melon to
mature, ripening in the remarkably short
time of 65 to 80 days after planting and
weighing under ordinary cultivation from
40 to 60 lbs. each. It is the greatest
yielder, the sweetest, juciest, most crisp
and solid melon ever produced, never
having a hollow or pithy center when
ripe. It is the easiest seller; once tried,
wi zs tar a people will have no oer Inside is a

vine is extremely vigorous. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; %4 lb. 25c; lb. 75c.
ROCKY FORD WATERMELON—This melon is considered one of the best for
this climate. The skin is dark green, flesh bright scarlet, ripening close to the
skin, the rind being only about one-half inch in thickness. Seeds white lying close
to the rind, leaving a large solid heart, which does not crack open when ripe. The
scarlet flesh is sweet and sugary and of such texture that it leaves no strings of
pulp whatever in eating. The melon is better for home use than for shipping, and
we believe it is the best table melon today. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % Ib. 25c; Ib. 80c.

FIELD PEAS—Field Peas deserve more general attention for fodder than they now
about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For hogs alone
about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For hogs alone
it can be used as pasturage. Field Peas can be sown either alone or with oats as early
as the condition of the soil will permit. If the stubble from green winter rye or other
crops cut in June be turned under and sown to mixed peas and oats, it will furnish a
large amount of forage in August when grass pasture is usually short. As fertilizer,
Field Peas should be plowed under when in blossom. They will grow on land that will
not produce clover. Canada Field, per 4% bu. 60c; bu., $2.00.

TREE SEEDS—Directions for Planting, etc.
Ail of our most valuable forest trees are readily grown from seed, and few invest-
ments made by farmers will pay as well as planting a few acres with forest trees, which
are needed not only for the timber they supply, but as a protection against the cyclone,
hurricane and the winds which so frequently sweep over our country. There should be
a grove of at least ten acres on every farm, especially on every prairie farm of the west.
regs should also be planted around the farm house, so as to combine both utility and
eauty.
With the seeds of deciduous trees, only a little care is required in planting at the
proper season to insure success. Those with hard shells like locust and walnut should
be planted in the fall, or placed in boxes with sand and exposed to the frost before
planting, otherwise they may lie in the ground from one to three years without sprout-
ing. If too late in the spring to expose them to the action of frost, pour boiling water
over the seeds and let it stand till cool, when a portion of the seed will have swollen,
Pick them out, and scald the rest again, continuing until all have swollen.
The seeds of other deciduous trees should be planted from the middle of April to
the middle of May. The soil should be deep, mellow and rich; if not so apply a good
42 a MISSOURI SEED COMPANY
liberal dressing of any old, well-decomposed manure, mix thoroughly with the soil, and
rake all down smooth and level, and your seed bed is ready. Now draw a line across
one side of the plot, and with the hoe make a hollow trench from one-half to one inch
deep, according to the size of the seed to be sown, make the trench about six inches
wide, scatter the seed over the bottom, but not too thickly; then draw the soil back and
cover the seeds to the depth of the thickness of the seed, as evenly as possible, then
press the bed gently with the back of the spade to make the earth firm around the seeds.
The seeds of evergreen trees should be kept until the time of planting in a dry, cool
place. As early in the spring as the ground can be worked, the seeds should be sown
thinly in beds of fine, sandy loam, raised about four inches above the general surface.
The bed should be raked in or, if very small, they may lie upon the surface and then
be rolled in or patted with the back of the spade to firm the earth around the seed.
Then water very sparingly, as the young plants are very apt to damp off, and need to
be shaded from the hot sun and dry winds. A good shade can be made of laths nailed
two inches apart on a light frame. This should be supported about eight inches above
the seed bed in such a way as to be easily removed to allow the cultivation and weed-
ing. Keep the young plants well weeded, and allow them to remain one or two years
before transplanting them where they are to remain.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT.
In commencing this department in our catalogue, our aim has been not to introduce
many varieties, but to catalogue only those that we know to be the best for general use
or for market. For years we have been studying not cnly what are the best kinds but
where to procure the most vigorous and satisfactory trees to plant. Where suggestions
are wanted, if parties will write us stating soil, and the purpose for which trees are
wanted, whether for market or family use, we believe we can aid them in securing just
what they need. By sending in your orders early you will enable us to give them
better attention than though they come in during the rush of the season.

Each year we find that there is more acreage being
Mit seeded to grasses and more attention being made to the
proper mixtures for pastures with the result of a greatly
increased yield of forage. And as we are prepared to
offer suggestions for proper mixtures when parties will
advise us of the kind of land they wish to sow, we can
often be of great help.
The crop of Clover, Alfalfa, Kentucky and English Blue
Grass is short and prices will be higher.
We have named prices in this catalogue as low as we ~
dare catalogue, and presume as the season advances many
things will be much higher, hence we prefer our cus-
tomers to write us when anything is wanted when we
will give the current market prices.
RED CLOVER—This is regarded as far the most im-
portant of the grass family for the practical purpose of
agriculture, being valuable not only as a forage plant,
but also for its fertilizing properties. It has long tap-
SE ; roots and luxuriant foliage, the decay of which enriches
Red Clover. the soil and adds materially to the value of succeeding
crops. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. to the acre. Price per Ib., 20c;
bu., $9.00.
MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER—Compared with common Red Clover its ap-
pearance is similar except that it makes a much stronger growth, the stems growing |
from 3 to 5 feet long. Being later than the common Red Clover it is often used as
a mixture with Timothy, either for hay or pasture. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to an acre.
Price per Ib., 20c; bu., $9.00.
ALFALFA has proved to be all and more than has been
claimed for it, as has been fully demonstrated during the sea-
son of 1901, as it produced three and four crops of choice hay
when, owing to the severe drouth, all other crops practically
failed. In a good year it wiil produce double the foliage that
Red Clover will, and in a bad year will often prove the salvation
of the farmer. No up-to-date farmer can afford to do without it.
It succeeds best on bottom or second bottom land where the
tap roots can penetrate and reach water. It does well if planted
with grain crop, the whole being cut for hay in the spring and
can be cut again the first year; the second year it will attain a
growth from which may be cut three crops of 114 to 2 tons each
per acre. If not pastured too closely or water allowed to stand
on it, Alfalfa will continue to grow many years; some fields
seeded many years ago being as good as ever. It will produce a
greater yield by irrigating, but stand a severe drouth, having a
long tap root which draws moisture from below the surface. For hay it should be cut
when in bloom and put in the stack before it becomes dry enough to break in hand-
ling. Under favorable circumstances it will produce 5 to 6 tons per acre per year.
For dairy purposes and fattening beef it is unexcelled. Sow August 10th to September
20th or April after danger of frost, 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Lb., 20c; bu., $9.00.
ALSIKE—Or Swedish Clover—The heads are globular and very sweet and fragrant,
and much liked by bees, who obtain a great amount of honey from it. It produces
a great amount of herbage during the season; the stalks being very fine, it makes
a valuable hay crop. It is is suited to wet land and will produce a good crop where other
clovers would fail. Sow 4 to 6 pounds to the acre. Price per Ib., 20c; bu., $9.00.
SCARLET—Or Crimson Clover—Crimson Clover is an annual and is in common use
for soiling or feeding green. In mild climates where it will stand the winter, it could
46 MISSOURI SEED COMPANY
be sown in August or September, when it will produce good fall and winter pasture
and a crop of hay early in June. Sow 15 pounds per acre. Price, per lb., 15c.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER—An excellent
pasturage clover in conjunction with Kentucky
Blue grass, the finest and most nutritious food
for sheep and cows. Its flowers are also a
favorite resort for the honey bee. It succeeds
on all rich clayey lands, not too wet. Lb.. 20c.
BOKHARA CLOVER—A tall, shrubby plant,
grows to the height of four to six feet, with
branches whose extremities bear numerous
small white flowers of great fragrance. Sow
8 to 10 pounds in the spring in drills per acre,
12 to 16 inches apart. Lb., 20c.
ESPERSETTE OR SANFOIN—This is a
luguminous plant, with cany stems from 2 to
38 feet long, straggling, tapering, smooth;
leaves in pairs of pointed oblong leaflets, slight-
ly hairy on the under side, flower stalks high-
er than the leaves; ending in a spike of crim-
son or variegated flowers, succeeded by flat
AE hard pods, toothed on the edges and prickly
White Clover. on the other sides; roots perennial and hard
and woody, flowers in July. It is highly recommended for sandy soil. It is an excel-
lent forage plant and improves the quality and increases the quantity of milk when
fed to milk cows. It will take 20 to 30 pounds to sow an acre. Lb., 10c.
TIMOTHY—This is decidedly the best grass for hay, making a large return on
strong rich clay, of medium state of moisture though somewhat coarse and hard, es-
pecially if allowed to ripen its seed, yet if cut in the blossom or directly after, it is
greatly relished by all kinds of stock, and especially so by horses; it possesses a large
percentage of nutritive matter in comparison with other grasses. It grows very readily
and yields large crops on favorable soils. Sow in spring or fall, 10 to 15 pounds per
acres bs 10G" bus *$2:50:

Timothy. Kentucky Blue Grass.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.
It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the soil of Missouri and Kansas is as
well adapted for raising Blue Grass as that of Kentucky; we have the facilities for har-
vesting and caring for the seed, and a market for distributing it lies at our door. The
seed raised here is fully equal to that raised in any other part of the country, the ger-
minating qualities of it being above the average of the seed usually shipped in. Pos-
sessing all of these natural advantages, Missouri and Kansas are justly entitled to
world-wide reputation for Blue Grass pasture; and the fine blooded stock sold in our
market shows that its quality is second to no state in the Union.
It is one of the best pasture grasses for our climate and soil, succeeding finely on
our hill lands and producing the most nourishing food for cattle, retaining its fine
qualities to a late period in the winter. In connection with white clover, it forms the
1426-1428 ST. LOUIS AVE., KANSAS CITY, MO. . 47
finest and closest lawns; for this purpose an extra quantity of seed should be used—
say three bushels of Blue Grass and two pounds of white clover per acre. If sown
by itself for pasture, 14 pounds is sufficient. Sow early in the spring or during the
months of September and October. Best, per 100 lbs., $15.00; per lb., 20c. Have lower
grade if wanted.
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of the most valuable and widely known of all pasture
grasses, coming in the spring and remaining later in the autumn than any other;
it grows about 2% feet high and produces an immense quantity of leaves and foliage.
It is well adapted for sowing under trees or orchards and very valuable either for
grazing or for hay. Sow about 28 lbs. per acre. Lb., 20c; bu., $2.25.
MEADOW FESCUE—tThis is one of the most valuable of pasture grasses, as its
long tender leaves are much relished by stock of all kinds. It succeeds well even in
poor soil, and its roots penetrate the earth 12 or 15 inches. It is not affected except by
exceedingly dry weather, and is as valuable a fertilizer as Red Clover. When cured
like timothy it yields a very superior quality of hay. Our stock is all native seed. Lb.,
10c; bushel, $1.75.
RED TOP—A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a good, permanent grass, stand-
ing our climate as well as any others and consequently well suited to our pastures, in
which it should be fed close, for if allowed to grow up to seed the cattle will refuse
it. On moist, rich soil it will grow two feet and on poor, gravelly soil it will grow
half that height. From 7 to 14 pounds sown per acre. Price per lb., fancy, 15c; bu.
$1.75. Special, 1b., 10¢c; bu., $1.25,
ENGLISH OR PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—Leaves long, narrow and fine. Cut when
in blossom it makes fine hay. It requires a moist climate; in such it stands six or
seven years. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. Lb., 10c.
BERMUDA GRASS—Largely grown in the south, and on account of its ability to
withstand drouth and hot weather is becoming very popular in Arkansas and Oklahoma
as a pasture grass. It grows successfully on almost any soil and as its roots will pene-
trate to the depth of three feet, thus enabling it to grow when other grasses would
be dormant. Sow from April to June, 5 lbs. per acre. Lb., 60c.
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS—This produces an abundant amount of foliage and
is valuable for pasturage on account of its early and luxuriant growth. It is recom-
mended for hay and shoots up very quickly after being cut; produces a thick crop of
aftermath, which also makes it valuable as a selling crop. Sow from 30 to 40 pounds
to the acre. Lb., 20c.
JOHNSON GRASS—Johnson Grass is a coarse grass, much
raised in the south, but is not so desirable in sections where
tame grasses can be raised. Before sowing soak in water about
15 hours until seeds swell ready for bursting. Sow in August
or September or in spring after soil becomes warm and dry.
Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre. 25 lbs. per bushel. Lb., 10c.
SWEET VERNAL GRASS—Yields but a moderate percentage
of herbage. It is remarkable for giving out a pleasant sweet
smell during the process of drying and it is to the presence of
this grass that hay from natural meadows owes its peculiar
fragrance. Sow from 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Lb., 40c.

English Rye Grass.
AUSTRALIAN SALTBUSH—A valuable forage
plant for alkali soils and for all regions subject
to periodic drouths. This plant has been for many
years the mainstay of herdsmen on the great in-
terior sheep and cattle ranges of Ausiralia. It
flourishes where grasses and other forage plants
will not grow, furnishing enormous quantities of
wees; nutritive food for stock. Sown among our native
} grasses it becomes an appetizer and improves
the condition of grazing animals. The plants have
_a prostrate habit, covering the ground with a
green cushion six inches thick. Each plant sends
y out a mat of runners for several feet in every
direction; when cut it reproduces itself from the
same root, while it grows readily from seed mere-
ly dropped on the surface of the soil and requires
no cultivation. Sow 1 1b. per acre, should be
mixed with wheat 10 times its own weight. Per

ITALIAN RYE GRASS—This variety is similar
to the English Rye Grass. It is very nutritious
and valuable for pastures, especially for early
sheep feeding; also excellent for lawns. Sow in
same quantities per acre as for the English Rye
Grass. Lb., 10c.
BROMUS INERMIS OR AWNLESS BROME
GRASS—It originated in Russia, and is recom-
mended on account of the manner in which it
has stood on the Hungar- ee

Australian Saltbush. sterile nature of the coun-
try and the long continued drouths make so many
plants succumb. This, however, stands well, and has been
known for thirty years to stand when such robust crops as
Alfalfa have been destroyed. It gives a luxuriant crop particu-
larly on fresh sand loam soil, and where the climate is warm. It
is found that animals eat it greedily, whether in the green or dry
state, so that it can be used as mown or saved for winter use.
The seed is sown in the early spring. It will stand under favor-
able conditions for years, and give as much food in one month as
Alfalfa gives in three months. Per lb. 15c; 50 lbs. $6.50; 100 lbs.
$11.50.
TEOSINTE—Recommended as the most prolific forage plant
yet introduced. In appearance somewhat resembles corn, but
the leaves are much longer and broader. The stalk, containing
much saccharine matter, is very nutritious. It can be cut several
times during season, yielding enormously. If allowed to re-
main without cutting, will attain a height of twelve or fifteen ——
feet. One seed will sometimes produce twenty to sixty stalks Bromus Inermis.

-Requires about 4 pounds of seed per acre. Plant in drills three feet apart, and two
to three seeds every twelve inches in drill. Lb. 60c.
MILLET AND HUNGARIAN—Very valuable annual grasses; sown in May and June,
after it is known what the crop of other grasses will be; in case of a short crop,
Millet and Hungarian are resorted to with great success. Yield an immense amount
of fodder—the German yields about one-third more fodder and seed than the common
Millet.
COMMON MILLET—It is an annual grass, with tender, juicy and luxuriant leaves,
much relished by all kinds of stock; makes good hay. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per acre.
Price per 100 lbs. $1.75. .
GERMAN MILLET—No other grass or forage plant has been able to produce the
enormous yield of this plant. It has produced from four to five tons of hay to the
acre, and from seventy to eighty bushels of seed. It is sown in the spring on newly-
proken prairie, and after harvesting it leaves the ground in the finest condition for
wheat. Sow 30 to 40 pounds to the acre. Price per 100 lbs, $1.75.
SIBERIAN MILLET—Earlier than any of the Millets we know of; is rust-proof and
great stooler; makes more blades to the plant which are finer than of any other Millet
and is well liked by all kinds of stock. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Price per
0 lbs. $1.75.
E anes MILLET—Not sv early as the Common Millet, but yields a larger crop.
Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre.. Price per 100 lbs, $1.75.
HUNGARIAN—This grass resembles Millet very much. It is of fine growth, and
makes an excellent hay. It has numerous succwlent leaves, which furnishes an abun-
dance of green fodder, taken by all kinds of stock. Sow 25 to 30 lbs. to the acre.
Price per.100 Ibs. $2.00. |
MANITOBA MILLET—Also called Hog or Broomcorn Millet. Best Millet for with-
stasiding drouth. About two weeks earlier than German. Per 100 Ibs. $2.00.
NON-SACCHARINE.
DAD $6 es All are non-saccharine varieties of sorghum having
SRR: great drouth resisting qualities, very productive
yielding heads of grain weighing from six ounces to
pound. They make excellent forage, are easy to
cure, keep well in shocks, and are well eaten by
stock in winter. If cut in green state they make
excellent green food and the shoots that spring up
at once from the roots make a second crop of foliage.
RED OR WHITE KAFFIR CORN—Grows low,
stock perfectly erect, the foliage is wide, alternating
closely on either side of the stalk. It does not
stool from the root, but branches from the top joints.
producing from two to four heads of grain from each
stalk. On very thin and worn lands it yields paying
crops of grain and forage even in dry seasons, in
which corn has utterly failed on the same lands. If
cut down to the ground two or more shoots spring
from the root, and the growth is thus maintained
until checked by frost. Lb. 5c; per 100 lbs. $1.25.
AFRICAN MILLET—Grows a single stalk eight
or ten feet high and yields heads of grain twelve to
fourteen inches long. It bears in dry weather and
makes its crops where corn would wholly fail, and
matures in one hundred days. Plant early in April

SORGHUM OR CANE SEED.
For those living in sections subject to drouth, we cannot
too earnestly urge the planting of Sorghum, Rice Corn, Kaffir
Corn, etc., which will almost certainly give them fodder in
the dryest of seasons. Indeed, as all regions are occasionally
subject to extreme drouth, we think every farmer should be
on the safe side and put in some of these wonderful drouth-
resisting plants.
Sorghum Seed is now being sown to a greater extent for
stock feed. It is an enormous yielder of fodder. All stock
like it, and it is very nutritious and full of saccharine matter.
It has great fattening properties. It can be grown almost
anywhere and takes the place of tame grasses in sections
where they cannot be grown readily. Large cattle raisers are
growing it to a great extent for winter food for cattle. Sheep
raisers say it is the finest thing yet discovered for that ani-
mal. .-Sow broadcast for this purpose, about one to one and a
half bushels to the acre.
For syrup it should be planted from May 20th to June Ist,
as soon as the soil is warm enough for the seed to sprout.
If in a cold climate the seed should be sprouted before
planted. It is best to plant in hills of forty-two inches one
way and twenty inches thef other. Cane planted in this way
will produce one hundred gallons per acre.
EARLY AMBER—This popular and well known variety is
earliest and makes the finest quality of amber syrup and
good sugar. Price per lb. 5c; per 100 lbs. $1.75.
EARLY ORANGE—A well known variety, well adapted for
the South; it is from eight to ten days earlier than the Early
Amber; produces a syrup of excellent quality. Per lb, 5c;
per 100 lbs. $1.75.
KANSAS ORANGE—Very desirable for sugar purposes, also
for syrup; does not grow quite as large as the Early Amber;
forms a compact head, about ten days later than the Early
Orange, produces a large amount of feed. Per lb. 5c; per
100 Ibs. $1.75.
BROOM CORN.
Requires similar soil and culture to corn, but should be planted later; it pays
better to have the ground in prime condition. It is frequently planted in drills three
and one-half feet apart, leaving the plants six inches apart.
CALIFORNIA GOLDEN—Excellent standard variety, grows very fine brush, good
length, free from large center stem, bleaches very easily in sun. Per 100 lbs. $2.00.
MISSOURI EVERGREEN—Is a favorite in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. Grows
to be a good length, and if cut at proper time has a good color, but if allowed to stand
will redden at tip as seed ripens. Per 100 lbs. $2.00.
TENNESSEE EVERGREEN—Generally shorter, finer growth than Missouri Ever-
green, preserves color better, becoming more popular with growers, as it is profitable
for manufacturing, therefore commands higher price. Per 100 lbs. $2.00.
OKLAHOMA DWARF BROOM CORN—The finest dwarf variety known, being
early, very productive, with fine, well fibered brush. Its dwarf habit, robust growth and
great drouth resisting qualities recommend it to our Western and Southern farmers.
It grows about five feet high, making it easy to care for the brush. We have a choice
stock of this seed grown in Oklahoma by an experienced broom maker and you will
find it of choice quality. Per 100 lbs, $3.00.

MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEEDS.
NOTICE—The crop of cowpeas is very short and likely will not be sufficient to
supply the demand. Those who contemplate growing this useful crop should order
early, as the supply will probably be exhausted long before seeding time. In consideration
of the above facts the price is likely to advance materially.
COW PEA—This is not exactly a pea, but
more properly belongs to the bean family.
It is a valuable fodder and fertilizer crop
and can be grown as a second crop after
wheat in the north. The seed or grain is
used for cattle food; the stalks and leaves
make excellent fodder fed green. Poor,
sandy soil may be greatly improved by plow-
ing under a crop of Cow Peas, and thus made
into fertile loam. Plant in a thoroughly pul-
verized soil. If wanted to plow under for
manure, sow with a grain drill in drills a
== foot apart, about 2 bushels per acre. If
grown for fodder or seed, plant three feet
apart, about 4 quarts per acre not more than
2 inches deep, and cultivate thoroughly. The
seed must not be sown until the soil has
become thoroughly warm. Bu. (60 lbs),
$2.50; pk. 75c. ~
FIELD LUPINS—They may be sown from
April to July and succeed well in the poor-
est soil, and many lands formerly poor have
had their value greatly enhanced by plow-
ing in the Lupin as manure. Lb. 10c.
‘SOJA BEAN—The plants grow erect, av-
eraging two and one-half feet in height.
The stock is strong and woody, and has
numerous branches covered with heavy fol-
iage. The branches and upper part of the
main stem are thickly studded with clusters of pods—from two to five pods growing
in clusters, each pod containing two beans. The beans should be sown a half bushel
per acre broadcast, or planted in drills three and a half feet apart and one and a half
feet between the plants, dropping two or three in each hill, which will require one
gallon per acre. This variety of bean is sold largely as German Coffee berries at a
fancy price. Lb. 10c; 4 bu. 75c; bu. $2.50.
PEANUTS—tThrive and produce best on a light, sandy and tolerably fertile soil.
Plant soon after frosts are over.

WILD RICE—An annual which sows itself in the fall, lies dormant all winter, in
spring commences to sprout, reaching the surface during the first half of June. It
grows very rapidly in one to eight feet of water. It should be planted before ice
forms broadcast from a boat, in water having a mud bottom. As an attraction for wild
fowl it cannot be equaled. It purifies the water, affords protection for the small fry.
from large fish, as well as furnishing the small fry with plenty of food from the
animalculae upon the stalks; for planting in fish ponds it is equally desirable. Lb. 25c.
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER—The largest of all sunflowers. This is with-
out doubt one of the best paying crops that can be raised. Seeds are the best of food
for poultry and is much cheaper to raise than corn. Stalks, which grow very large
make excellent firewood. It is also said to afford protection against malaria. Lb, 10c;

12 inches long and average one pound in weight. Uni-
~ form in weight, size and color; of high germination and will
S— produce from five to twenty bushels more corn per acre
than any other. Took premium in Columbian Exposition in
1893. You cannot afford to do without it. Pk., 35c; bu.,
$1.25.
HICKORY KING—100 Days—The cob is so small and
# the grain is so large that when an ear is broken in half
§ one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. Nearly
§ all of the stalks bear two ears and we consider it one of
the best white corns grown. It ripens in from 100 to 110
¥ days from time of planting. Price per pk., 40c; per bu.,
$1.50.
BRAZILIAN OR STOOLING FLOUR CORN—This corn
stools like wheat, each kernel producing from five to eight
stalks, each stalk bearing two to three ears, five to seven
_inches in circumference, nine to twelve inches in length,
color beautiful white. It is the best variety for ensilage
we know of, and yields to the acre four times more fodder
than common corn. Plant two kernels to the hill, thin to one, and cultivate like other
corn. Two quarts will plant one acre. Qt., 15c; pk., 60c; bu., $2.00.
POP CORN—White Pearl—Our common market variety. Lb., 10c; 10. ibs., 50c.

WHEAT.
RED FULTZ—A smooth, red chaff wheat, a good yielder and suited to any kind
of land. Per bu., $1.25.
NEW EARLY RED CLAWSON—This productive and desirable bald sort is destined
to become a general favorite. Was originated from the popular Golden Cross, fertilized
on the Clawson, partaking from the Golden the compact head, dark red grain, extreme
hardiness, rapid growth and strong straws; from the Clawson, baldness, red chaff and
very large kernels. The heads are very large, often growing from five to six inches in
length and is a very strong, vigorous grower, being the first to start out in the spring
and a wonderful stooler. Per bu., $1.25.
MEDITERRANEAN HYBRID WINTER—It has: proven extremely hardy and very
prolific and has been pronounced by the best judges to be very superior for flour. It
has the beard and blue straw of the Mediterranean, and thick set, compact head and
plump berry of the Deihl, with stiff, long straw. Per bu., $1.25.
SPELTZ OR EMMER—The Valuable New Grain From Russia—lIt is readily eaten
by all kinds of stock and has shown itself to be especially adapted when fed to milch
cows. It is better to mix it, however, with bran and shorts, as it is a pretty heavy
feed, when fed alone. As a swine feed, we think very well of it, indeed, especially for
brood sows. Horses do well on it, but we do not think it is equal to oats in that case.
Its most striking value is found in the fact of its drouth-resisting qualities. The United
States Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin on Speltz commending it highly,
and the introductory paragraph of that bulletin states: “The extremely variable climatic
conditions in some of our western states have made it desirable to give particular at-
tention to crops resistant especially to cold and drouth. Among such crops Emmer
holds high rank and should become one of the prominent crops for stock feeding.”

acre; if grown for tbe fibre, sow about one bushel per acre. Per Ib. 10c; 10 lbs. T5c.
FLAXSEED—Laregely grown in this state for the seed. Sow one-half to three-
quarters bushel per acre. Can furnish choice recleaned seed for sowing any time, at
$1.75 per bushel.
SEED RYE—Rye does best on rich sandy soil, almost a sure crop every year;
should be sown in August or September, either in drills or broadcast, at the rate of
one to one and a half bushels per acre; is raised both for pasture and grain. Per bu.
(56 lbs), 90ce. ;
BARLEY, COMMON—Barley succeeds best on lands more sandy and lighter than
those adapted to wheat. It is sown in the spring and can be grown farther north than
an) other grain. Sow from 2 to 2% bushels per acre. Per bu., 65c.
Mansury Barley, per bu., 75c.

OATS.
THE KHERSON--—A new oat introduced by the Nebraska Experiment Station from
the Province of Kherson, Russia, from which it derives its name, and from the reputa-
tion it has already gained, believe that it will be a valuable addition to the Oats
family for this locality. It being very early, escapes the rust which of late years has
been so damaging to the Oat crop. The following is the description as given by the
Nebraska Experiment Station: “The Kherson Oat is a vigorous, but not a rank
grower, short-stemmed, with broad leaves showing a large surface, spreading panicles,
berries a light crezimy color, small, but very numerous, having thin hulls; usually weighs
well per bushel, and in this as well as yield has led all others at this station.” From
the information we have been able to gather we believe it will do well in the west.

FERTILIZERS.
PURE GROUND BONE AND POTASH—Every farmer knows that bone is a good
fertilizer. Potash is equally essential. In using these two important elements you are
restoring to the soil that which has been removed by crops or consumed by animals.
This combination of our soluble bone and potash is a happy one for grain crops in this
section of the country.
HOW APPLIED—The first requirement is to have the fertilizer evenly and well
mixed with the soil. Do not plow it in; keep it near the surface where the rains and
dews will dissolve it. It may be drilled in or sown broadcast after the ground is pre-
pared for the crop and harrowed in well. For crops in rows it may be cast beside the
rows and worked in the first time the crop is cultivated. There are fertilizer attach-
ments for most planting machines.

NO. 1, COMBINED DRILL SEEDER WHEEL HOE CULTIVATOR AND PLOW.
Price, $9.50. A pair of 5-tooth rakes supplied when specially ordered. Price 50c.
This has long been the most popu-
lar combined tool made. As a seed
sower it is the same as No. 2 Drill
Seeder, but smaller. From a drill it is
changed to its other uses by removing
two bolts, when hoes, etc., can be
quickly attached. It is an excellent
seed sower, a first-class double or
single wheel hoe, an excellent furrow-
er, an admirable wheel cultivator, and
a rapid and efficient garden plow. It is
' @ practical, every-day time and labor-
saver, and a grand remedy for back-
ache,
NO. 2 DRILL SEEDER. Price $7.50.
This tool is known and used the world
over, and excepting our hill and drill
seeders, is the most perfect drill known.
It holds three quarts and sows in an
even, regular stream, whether there is
much or little in the hopper. The index
contains the names of the principal seeds
and when a name appears, through the
slot, the drill is set right for that seed
Harr ww The opening plow, being directly be
ee = tween the wheels, follows all irregulari-
: io ane ay ties of the ground. It can be set to run
deep or shallow, and the seeds are deposited in a very narrow line. The machine is
extremely simple, has no agitators, belts or gearing; and will not injure any seed.
The best low-priced drill on the market.
NO. 3 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER. Price, $10.50.
This is the same tool as the No. 5 seeder
and just as good, except that it is smaller
in size. The hopper holds three quarts; 15-
inch patent steel driving wheel, with broad
. face, which makes the drill run easily, even
a when full. The quantity of seed is regu-
A* lated by an accurate index, conveniently
—~ ZS Ne Sat eee placed at the top of the handle, and care-
aril SS i sii fully graduated for either hill dropping or
rilling. The flow of seed is started or stopped by a single movement of the fore-
finger. The roller is broad and hollow faced, leaving a wide, smooth track for the
wheel hoe. It is extremely simple, and will not injure the most delicate seed.
NO- 5 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER. Price, $13.00.
This Seeder is the same tool as the No. 3, except that it is larger in size.

This a‘imirable tool combines in aN reg cae Ae’, 5 Dalene eee
~ s s 7] s
a single convenient implement a
capital hill-dropping seeder, a _ per-
fect drill seeder, a single wheel
hoe, a cultivator and a plow. It
holds two quarts and as a seeder
is like the No. 5, sowing in continu-
ous rows, or dropping in hills at
five different distances. It is
thrown out of gear by simply rais-
ing the handles. The index is ac-
curate, simple and easily set. The
_ drill is detached and the tool frame
substituted by removing but one —
bolt. It then becomes a= single
wheel hoe, garden plow or culti- => = ‘eS <<
vator. It is useful almost every day of the season, at every stage of garden work.
With this one implement the small farmer can do practically all the work in his small
crops. A Set of three rakes supplied when specially ordered. Price, $1.00.
NO. 6 HILL AND DRILL SEEDER, HOE, CULTIVATOR AND PLOW. Price, $13.50.
No. 6 Hill and Drill Seeder, $11.00
No. 6 Drill Seeder, $9.50.
This latest Planet Jr. Seeder has
been under construction for two
years past, and has been held back
until every detail has been made
as nearly perfect, as it seems pos:
sible to have it.
We have been making Hill Seed-
ers for a number of years past and
they have been received and used
by the public with a great deal of
satisfaction. This is easily ac-
counted for, as the seeds may be
sown either in hills or drills, at
pleasure. About one-half of our
garden seeds are usually planted in
drills, and nearly as many other
varieties are preferred in hills. Hill seeding can be done with these machines just
as rapidly as drilling, while much seed is saved by this method and the crop is more
uniform, which is one of the prime conditions necessary to produce a large yield.
NO. 25 COMBINED HILL AND DRILL SEEDER AND DOUBLE WHEEL HOE.
S ; This new combined machine is
Price, $13.50. intended for a class of gardeners
who have a large enough acreage
in crops for a Double Wheel Hoe
to be used to good advantage, and
yet prefer not to buy a separate
Wheel Hoe. It is large enough for
field use, for it holds 2% quarts
(or about 5 lbs. of onion seed) and
has 11%4-inch wheels—which are
just the right size. :
As a drill it is almost identical
_with the “Planet Jr.”’ No. 4 Drill;
will sow in drills or hills, 4, 6, 8, |
12 or 24 inches apart and has the
same automatic device for throw:
ing out of gear and the new com-
bined cut-off and seed index with
thumb screw adjustment. It is
pa thoroughly substantial and accurate
in sowing all kinds of garden_seeds in either hills or drills.
As a Wheel Hoe it is identical with the “Planet Jr.” No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe, the
very best machine on the market. The change from Drill to Wheel Hoe takes but a
moment, and the entire combination is one we can heartily recommend and guar-
-antee satisfactory.

“PLANET JR.” NO. 8 HORSE HOE.
Price, $9.00.
Probably no other cultivating machine is so widely known as the “Planet Jr.” Com-
bined Horse Hoe and Cultivator, for it is in use throughout the civilized world. It is so
strongly built as to withstand incredible strain, yet it is light and easy to handle.
The Frame is extra long and extra high, making a tool that will not clog easily.
The Stiff Steel Standards, are hollow with round throats; they polish quickly and
free themselves readily from obstructions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it.
The Depth is under perfect control by a new lever wheel and patent depth regula-
tor, moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, steadying the
machine and relieving the operator.
The Expander is an entirely new pattern, superior to all other forms; exceedingly
strong, simple, accurate and positive in all positions. 2 7
The Handle and Braces are also new, and the most effective and stiffest combi-
nation known, at once making the tool rigid, yet allowing every adjustment of handles
in height and sidewise.
The Reversible Side Hoes, patented, are an important part of the implement. As
shown in the cut, they act as plows or hillers, but when turned end for end, the tool
becomes a genuine horse hoe, working so shallow and. so close, without injury to the
roots, that an immense amount of hard labor is saved.
Every part is perfected to make the tool acceptable to the intelligent farmer, who
knows the best is always the cheapest.
“PLANET JR.” No. 7 HORSE HOE.
Same as No. 8, but without the Depth Regulator. Price, $8.50.
The No. 9 is similar to the No. 8 Horse Hoe, but it has a plain wheel instead of
PI operating N a convenient lever. It has the same standards and teeth, and is
made in other respects like the popular
anet Jr. 0. 9 ¥ No. 8. It is strong and serviceable and
Horse Hoe and will give full satisfaction.

OYSTER SHELL AND BONE.
For the safe and profitable handling of eggs, a good Shell is indispensable, and one
that Biddy cannot furnish without proper food.
Oyster Shell and Bone furnishes this in the most available, as well as in the cheap-
est form, and in addition is a promoter of good health.
Our Oyster Shell is dried by a hot air process, which retains all the desirable qual-
ities, and is then crushed to the proper size to be most readily available, after which
it is screened so that there may be no waste.
COMPLETE GRIT.
A digester is as necessary to the health of a fowl as food, and it must first be hard
so that it may remain rough under the contraction and relaxation of the gizzard, and
it should be light colored as this attracts the eye of the fowl, and causes it to be eaten
greedily.
A Grit that contains medicinal qualities such as Iron, Magnesia and Sulphur, is
especially valuable because it tones up the system and purifies the blood. These
features are all strongly marked in our Complete Grit, and we offer it as an unex-
celled article for this purpose.
Send for circular on new Hog Cholera Cure. A great success.
