WHEAT.
Blue Ribbon Wheat — A new bearded spring variety which
has won a number of prizes, including the Milwaukee
Chamber of Commerce Silver Trophy in 1910. It orig-
inated with Mr. H. B. Krueger, Dodge County, Wiscon-
sin. It is a large yielder and very early, with plump
kernels. The straw is short and stiff. It never has
shown any sign of rust, blight or smut.
Peck, 60c; bushel, $2.25.
Minnesota No. lfi» Spring- Wheat — It is a remarkably heavy
yielder, and this, together with its excellent milling and
baking qualities, makes it an exceedingly popular vari-
ety, so much so that it is now probably grown more
extensively than any other sort in Minnesota.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel.
Seoteh Fife Spring Wheat — An early and very productive
hard variety, possessing splendid milling qualities.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel.
Blue Stem (Velvet Stem) Wheat — A large yielder and a very
popular spring sort in the middle states.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65 per bushel.
Durum or Macaroni (Kubanka) Wheat — An exceedingly val-
uable spring wheat for dry and semi-arid sections, with-
standing drought far better than other sorts. Enormous
yields are grown of it in the western states, sometimes
reaching 80 bushels to the acre.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.75; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.65.
World's Champion AVinter Wheat — This wheat originated in
Wisconsin a few years ago and won the World's Cham-
pionship at the International Exposition at Omaha in
1909. It is a red bearded sort, possessing more good
qualities than any other winter wheat we know of.
Peck, 90c; bushel, $3.00.
EAPE.
Dwarf Essex Rape — No crop is easier grown and none more
profitable for hog and sheep feed. Five pounds of seed
are enough for an acre broadcast, and it is ready for feed-
ing six weeks after sowing. One acre will pasture thirty-
six sheep two months. It is an annual, similar in appear-
ance to the leaves of Rutabagas, but taller. There is no
danger of its ever becoming a pest, as it will not live over
winter or produce seed in this country.
Many growers are in the habit of sowing it with grain,
using about 2 lbs. of seed to the acre, and it is ready to
use a few weeks after harvest. Others sow it in corn at
the last cultivation. The best way, however, is to sow it
alone either early in spring or as a catch crop after gram
is harvested or after an early potato crop. A good plan
is to sow it in drills about thirty inches apart and culti-
vate. By this method it is only necessary to use from 1%
to 2 lbs. of seed to the acre.
Per lb., 15c (by mail, 25c per pound); 10 lbs, $1.00;
25 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $7.00.
