Largest yieldin + HM ea y Nebraska 112 bushels to acre; frequently Sa yields 80 bushels per acre; two to three University Kherson Oats were brought to America in 1900 by the University of Nebraska located at Lincoln. They originally came from the Province of Kherson, Russia, where they were known as the best extra early, hardy, good yield- ing oats in that locality. The University of Ne- braska sent out small lots to farmers all over the state and the tests proved that the oats far ex- ceeded their highest expectations as to earliness, amount of yield, and adaptability to withstand heavy winds and not lodge. Description: Kherson Oats when ripe area beautiful yellow in color. They have fine larg sprangled or full heads, which frequently contain more than 100 seeds. A good idea is ob- == | by tained from the illustration, ENG which is taken from an actual photograph. The straw is stiff and does not lodge or rust. The leaves are broad, frequently three-fourths of an inch wide. They extend to the roots and are so pliable that they stay on even through threshing. The straw makes an unusually good fodder and is eaten greedily and with profit by all kinds of stock. While the kernelisa little small, the berry, when the hull is off, is extra large. We have never found a grain so small but what it contained a well developed seed. This is not true of large oats. — Yield: Under favorable conditions Kherson Oats have yielded as high as 112 bushels to the acre in Nebraska. At the University Experimental Sub-Station at North Platte the yield was 50 bushels to the acre. Growers around Lincoln getas high as 75 bushels per acre, when common oats yield only 12 to 25 bushels to the acre. These are the only oats that made a crop here this year. We have handled the Kher- son Oat since its adaptability to our soil and cli- mate nas been proven. We advise our customers to putin their whole field with the Kherson, for whether the season is wet or dry, you are sure of weeks earlier than common oats. alarge crop. Wehave never sold anything that gave such universal satisfaction. In 1905 we sold over 9,000 bushels of Kherson Oats; last year almost 11,000. Thisimmense amount went out in from 3 to 50 bushel lots to almost every state in the union, and especially Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. All these states - report the yield from 10 to 30 bushels more per aere than Texas Red, Champion, and other oats. Good in Dry Seasons: The year 1904 was an exceptionally trying one for oats on ac- count of the small rainfall. Notwithstanding this Kherson Oats demonstrated, their superiority over all other kinds. On our own ground we Gisced on April 2, having planted oats on well prepared second bottom land. The season was cold and back- ward, but notwithstanding this, on June 18, the field was all headed out. Common oats were not yet shooting. At this time the oats stood 4 feet high, and were not lodged or rusted. The field was cut June 28, and in the stack two weeks ahead of a field of common oats near by. Inagood favorable year Kherson Oats are three weeks earlier than the common oats, thus losing by two weeks the risk of hail and two weeks better chances for a crop. ‘ Sow onrich soil. Reports show that they do not lodge, even on bottom land. They will not give satisfaction on poor soil. Sow 2: bushels per acre. Buy direct from us and you get the pure seed—no substituting. If. you order only oats, remember the freight will be no more for three bushels than for one bushel. PRICES: 1 bushel, 75e; 5 bushels, $3.50; 10 bushel lots, per bushel, 65c; 25 to 50 bushel lots, per bushel, 60c; over 50 bushels, 57c per bushel. These prices are sacked f. o. b. cars, Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. H. C. Hopper, Knox Co., Ill , under date of August 25, ’05: I sowed them [Kherson Oats) 214 bushels to acre, April 3rd, and cut them July 8, making 2,500 bushels for 40 acres, or62%4 bushels toacre. They madea larger yield than any other oats in the county. Other oats averaged from 40 to 53. Will sow them almost exclusively next year. ~ December 21, 06: We have just shipped Mr. Hopper 20 bu. Kherson Oats for pure seed stock for 1907 planting. G. S. C. 4 GRISWOLD SEED CO., LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. BROMUS INERMIS 3 [ naitan Grows in Dry, Semi-Arid Region, Very Resistant to Drought and Freezing. Lengthens Season of Green Pasture. This grass is also known as Awnless Brome Grass, Smocth Brome Grass, and Hungarian Brome Grass. It will succeed in a greater variety of soil and in dryer locations than any other cultivated grass we know of, although it does best on good biack loam, with plenty of moisture. Nebraska Experiment Station says: This is one of the principal grasses growing .n the dry and semi-arid regions of Russia and Siberia, furnishing pasture in districts having an annual rainfall of only twelve to fifteen inches; hence it is naturally adapted to a dry climate. The grass is very resistant to the drought of summer and the cold and freezing of winter. A valuabl: characteristic isits habit of starting growth very early in the -pring, at least four weeks before native prairie, and continuing growth unti. Jate in the fall, thus considerably length- ening the season of green pasturage. Brome grass spreads by means of underground rootstalks, thus making a thick, tough sod, well adapted to withstand the tramp- ling of stock, Asa hay crop, the grass usually furnishes good cuttings for two or three years, sometimes cutting three tons of cured hay per acre, after which the sod becomes so root-bound by the thick interlacing of the undercround stems that the grass does not make tall enough growth for a heavy cutting of hay (this can be overcome by discing) but will furnish the best of pasture for several years thereaiter. The hay crop is cut about June 15th, or when the grass isin fuil bloom. The hay crop is followed by a heavy aftergrowth, making a fine fall pasture. The Land.—Brome grass probably does its best on a good black loam with plenty of moisture, but it will succeed ina greater variety of soils and drier situations than any other cultivated grass we know of. Preparation of Land.-—The soil should always be in fine tilth and well compacted. For spring sowing, a piece of fall plowing is most easily prepared and furnishesan almost ideal seed bed. Ifthe landis plowed just preceding the sowing’, it should be : thoroughly worked down with disc and smoothing harrow until a fine, firm seed bed is made. Sowing the Seed. —Sow at least twenty pounds of seed broadcast per acre, or better use wheelbarrow seeder, page 21. Sow the grass alone. Cover the seed by harrowing twice with smooth- ing harrow. If sown in the spring, the earlier the better provided the soil is in fit condition to work. It may be necessary to clip the weeds several times during the first summer. Do not be discouraged in case you should get a thin stand, as the grass will thicken rapidly, after the first season. i _—Fall sowing has some advantages over spring sowing whenever there is moisture wah powine good start for the young grass. Sow 20 lbs. tc the acre before Sept. 15th, dise in on wheat or oat stubble, in this way one gets almost full use of the grass next year. Brome Crass and Alfalfa.— We have found that a mixture of brome grass and alfalfa pro- duces more feed than brome grass alone. For seeding, use by weight abouc one-fifth alfalfa seed and four-fiths brome grass seed. Both should be sown at the same time, either in the fall or spring. Alfalfa sometimes produces bloat in cattle or sheep pastured on it. Mixed with grass this danger is greatly decreased, but not entirely removed. “Good for Overworked Farm and Farmer” I am satisfied that in brome grass we have the qualities that will recommend it to the overworked farm and farmer; as a pasture it is excellent, fur- nishing a rich, succulent grass from very early spring till late fall or winter. Hogs prefer it to wheat or rye in the spring; horses and ea tle pre- fer it to any other grass. As a hay it is fine, being nearly all blades; stock relish it very much, but it requires rich land to make a big hay crop. C. J. W. in Nebr :ska Farmer. GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM. We have always expected big things of brome grass as a fall pasture, but we can now truthfully say that our expectations were more than realized. The immediate result was an increase of over twenty-five per cent, or one-fourth in the milk yield. Grass that will yield from one to two tons per acre of the best hay, and then furnish such pasture as this, is good enough for us. - Dakota Farmer. PRICES .

Starts Early in the Spring and Lasts Until November or December. Just the Grass for Permanent Pasture or Meadow. Meadow Fescue has come much into favor the last few years, owing to its hardy growth, especially in those portions of Kan- sas where the fields have been pastured Spring and Fall anda crop of seed harvested during the summer. Nebraska farmers are beginning to realize its value and more of it will be sown this year than ever before. One of our custom- ers sowed almost 2,000 lbs. last Fall after having given it a two years’ trial. Itis en- dorsed by the Univer- sity Experiment Sta- tion of Nebraska. Mr. Gilmore, before the Kansas State Board of Agricultural, says in part: ‘This grass has a two-fold value; forits seed and for pasturage. In suitable soil and under normal weather conditions as to moisture, it grows luxuriantly, the blades being broad, tender, and nutritious, and springs up quickly after cropping by live stock (cattle, horses or sheep). It starts in the spring not less than a month before native prairie-grass, affording most excellent pick- ing by March 20 to 30, and in an average Kansas fall will sustain and keep cattle fat from the first of September until in Noyvember—even up to Decemberi, some seasons. Its advantages for fall pasturage are distinctly its own, and farmers having it, especially appreciate this fact. Where English Plue-Grass is known to be profitable for both seed and pasture, it thrives best on the rich- est and heaviest soils, although it is found prin- cipally on the slopes and uplands. On moist or wettish spots (not too wet) and on gumbo land the plant flourishes wonderfully, yields the heaviest, ud holds on more tenaciously than anywhere else. Preparing the Ground The ground should be plowed several weeks or months before seeding time, and cultivated at intervals toclearitof weeds. The seed bed should be finished with a level, mellow surface, but with a rather compact subsurface, in order that the seed may be evenly covered and come in close contact with the moist soil. The seed should not be covered more than an inch to an inch anda half deep. Wheat or oat stubble disced soon after harvest and disced and harrowed at intervals until Sep- tember 1 makes a good seed bed for fall sowing. SEEDING The quantity of seed recommended to plant per acre varies from a peck to three pecks when pro- ducing seed is the main object, and from one bushel tothree bushel when pasturing aloneis wanted. On a well prepared seed bed, ina favorable season, sow broadcast and harrow once lightly to cover the seed. Many favor drilling, and this is per- haps the surer method of getting a good catch in the average season. The danger in planting with the drill isin getting the seed too deep, do not cover more thanoneinch. Plant good, clean seed. The best seed is the «heapesi to buy. HARVESTING Meadow Fescue should be cut for hay soon after the blooms fall. It is ready to cut for seed assoon as the heads turn brown, before the seed begins to shatter. This occurs right after wheat harvest. The usual method is to harvest with a self-binder and shock the same as wheat or oats. The crop may be stacked or threshed out of the shock, with the ordinary separator. The seed is usually sold at ones but may be safely kept in dry bins or in sacks. Mr.Georg’e Plumb, Emporia, Kansas,says: ‘Tt is ahardy plant, and I have never known a fail- ure to geta good stand. It makes a good hog pasture, and I perfer it to alfalfa. I shall putin 200 acres next season for pasture; putting the ground in oats in the spring, and after this crop is harvested some time in August, I will dise the ground both ways with a disc-harrow, then putin English Blue-Grass with a dise-press-drill, using twelve pounds of clean grass seed and four pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre.” Prof. H. M. Cottrell, of the Kansas Agri- cultural College (120 miles west of the Missouri river), says: ‘‘ English Blue-Grass has been grown in fields on the college farm since 1879, and has with- stood all extremes of climate, exceptin the winter of 1885-’86, when all seedlings of this grass were killed. It suffers more than orchard grass from dry weather, but it is not so coarse, and many farmers are using English Blue-Grass and clover for hay on account of its fine quality.” PRICES - By freight, 15c lb., $1.25 per bushel.

The region in which it grows there is one of very small rainfall and with hot, dry summers, and dry, cold winters. A plant developed under such conditions could not be otherwise than hardy and strongly drouth resistant, and such has proved to be the case. ALFALFA.

NITRO-CULTURE. A Wonderful Discovery. Doubles the Yield. Insures Crops of Alfalfa and Other Leguminous Plants on all Soils. Nitro-Culture is a germ and sold in dry packages. When seeds are sprinkled with a solution of Nitro-Culture and planted as per directions given with each package, the germs multiply in the soil very rapidly, and cause nodules to form on the roots of plants. These nodules collect the nitrogen from the air, to the great benefit of the plant growth and the land. The reason why Alfalfa, Soy Beans and other legumes fail in s0 many localities the first time sowing is simply because of the absence of the proper bacteria in the soil. Nitro-Culture furnishes this bacteria. The expense is very small, considering its value. g We have Nitro-culture for the following crops.

It is of the greatest value for plowing under for supplying humus and nitrogen. Clover actually adds to the fertility of the land, and does not exhaust the soil as other classes of plants. TO SECURE A GOOD STAND The first essential is good seed. By this we mean seed not merely free from foul weeds, but seed that has the germinating power; seed that will grow. If you have good seed, it will beyond all question grow provided you furnish the conditions of growth. It must have moisture, it must have heat, and it must have air. Therefore, it must be put in the ground deep enough and with sufficient moisture to soak it up, and at atime when there is enough heat in the soil or air in contact with it to start germination. The depth of the covering is the most essential factor in growing clover or any other kind of grass seed. Ifit is raining every other day, the very slightest covering possible, say a quarter of an inch; is the best, but if the season is dry it may require an inch or two inches, or, in very light mee three inches. It must under any circumstances be deep enough to secure moisture and not exclude air. The time of the year is important. Our common grass seeds all germinate at a low temperature. Hence the earlier they are sown the better, the only danger being that when the clover comes up, a very sudden freeze may kill it. You must take yourchance on that. If these things are borne in mind there is no trouble whatever in getting astand. The difficultyis tokeep it. The sure way of keeping it is to give the grasses the full use of the land and do away with your nurse crop.

Because of its rapid growth orchard grass is one of the most valuable and popular of our domestic grasses. It is adapted to all parts of the temper- ate zone and is cultivated profitably in every state east of the Mississippi river between the thirty- fifth and forty-seventh degrees of north latitude, as well as in mostof the regions between the Missis- sippi river and the Rocky mountains. It has been known in England for centuries, and in America since 1764, and its popularity is now greater than ever before. It is avery hardy perennial, a vig- orous grower and, since it grows quite as well in shade as in sunshine, is a particularly useful crop for woodland pastures. It is about two weeks earlier than other grasses, and the last to succumb to frost in the fall. P Orchard grass will stand repeated pasturing and mowing, makes a very nutritious hay, and if well started in the fall will furnish good pasture far into the winter. Indeed in many sections it may be grazed throughout the winter. It is ad- mirably adapted to the south, as it resists drouth remarkably well, and will succeed in any soil or climate where other grasses will grow. The tendency of orchard grass to grow in tufts may be overcome by thorough preparation of the erourd and liberal seeding. It may be sown with good results at any time from January to April, inclusive. Sow (if alone) 1} to 2 bushels per acre. Price per lb., 30c, postpaid; per bu. (14 lbs.) $2.25 by freight.

Grows from two to four feet high, Produces from 25 to 30 tons of green feed to the acre. When one considers that rape will produce good, succulent feed in from six to ten weeks from sowing, he can in a measure realize its value. Rape looks much like ruta baga tops, growing from two to four feet high, has broad, rich, juicy leaves which are liked very much by cattle, sheep, and hogs, and continues to grow after being continually eaten- off. It is estimated that the feeding ualities of rape are probably twice as great as those of clover. : Rape can be Bisnis early for early feed; can be sown in oats and fed aiter the oats are cut; can be sown in corn in the last plowing. This isa good plan when the corn is to be cut green for feed, as it will leave the rape ready for pasturing after the corn is taken off. Rape is an annual, and will not become a weed or a nuisance, as it does not live through the winter. We do not recommend it for cows as it may taint the milk. Stock fed on rape must have plenty of salt. FOR CHICKENS AND SHEEP IT received the seeds from you and am well pleased with them, so am sending for a few more. Mrs. FRED ADLARD, Gillian Co., Ore. ae: FOR CHICKENS Rape makes the best green food for chickens. It can be sown early and the chickens will have good, rich food all summer from one planting. They like it better than garden truck and it is much cheaper. SOW IT IN CORN Rape may be sown in the corn field at the last plowing. It will not make much growth in heavy corn, butit will only cost about twenty-five cents per acre and it will keep down more than twenty- five cents, worth of weeds and furnish more or less pasture in the fall, particularly if lambs are fin- ished off in the corn field. Weknow of no way of fattening lambs so easy as turning them into a corn field in which the rape is three or four inches high. The rape, the blades of corn, the weeds, and the down ears will make a very nicely balanced ration on which lambs will thrive amazingly.— Wallaces’? Farmer.

GILLASPIE. "i Gage Co., Neb. as FINE FOR HOGS We are satisfied that with the same preparation of the ground and with an expenditure of 25 or 30 cents per acre for seed, a man can grow as much pork from an acre of rape well managed, _ as he can from an acre of corn, and grow his pork at a time of year when corn is usually high priced and often scarce.— Wallaces’ Farmer. RAPE FOR YOUNG CATTLE Calves relish a small amount of rape at a very early age and do well on it when fed judiciously. Young cattle thrive on it when it is fed in con- nection with natural grass pasture. Steers in- tended for stall feeding or late fall marketing cannot be better cared for than to be allowed the run of a good field of rape. -GOOD FOR PIGS The pigs may usually be turned into it five or six weeks aiter seeding, and an acre will carry from twenty-five to forty during the season.

A great many farmers have an idea that this valuable fodder plant can only be grown in the west and south. We know of its being suc- cessfully cultivated and used from St. Paul to the Gulf, and from Ohio to Colorado. It will grow any place that will producecorn. We feel sure there is no place where the farmers ~ appreciate this feed as they doin Ne- braska. Even the “‘side walk farm- ers”? in townand city put ina lotor two for winter feed for their cow and horse. We secure this seed from producers of sorghum molasses and if planted thinly will make good sor- ghum cane. Some farmers pasture it with the very best results and we have never heard of a case of poison- ing where the stock was turned in when the cane was about 6 inches high and kept there right along. [ke =" Feeding Value: Itisknown quite definitely that an acre of sor- = ghum will produce more food value, more pounds of beef or pork, when Early Amber Cane. 5 Ibs. in rows peracre forsorghum | properly fed, than an acre of corn. The main use of the crop, howéver, is for a winter supply of forage, and it has this advantage over corn or any other kind of grain, that it can be sown late. Time to Sow: Sorghum may be put in almost any time up to the middle of July. June is the best time, sow broadcast because the fod- der will grow fine, will cure better, and will give better results in feed— ing. Highty days will produce a very satisfactory crop. Sow 10 lbs. in rows for cultivation. The Soil: Select the thinnest soil and highest part of your farm for sorghum. On this soil it is not so likely to fall down in seasons of ex- cessive rainfall. Molasses growers know how rich in sweetness is sor- ghum grown on clay soils, and the sugar is the valuable part when grown for stock feeding. Have the ground = free from clods and do not plant === more than one inch deep, except in very light soil. 7/2 Harvesting: Harvest as late as possible to avoid hard frost in order that the fodder will retain its sweetness and succulence. It is then cut, when sown broadcast, with a mower and allowed to dry for a week or ten days, after which it may be put up in shocks weighing about 500 pounds and allowed to stand until fed. Sorghum for Hogs: I have tried rye, rape, clover, sorghum and alfalfa for hog pasture. Each has its time and place. 1 would put alfalfa first in value, but where it cannot be successfully grown or on thin land I would recommend sorghum for pasture, from May to Oct. There is no crop that will furnish near the amount of feed on poor land, and it is, above all, the renter’s friend. Ifthe clover pasture is not fenced hog tight an acre fenced off with woven hog fence and sowed to sorghum some time in April will furnish green food for several sows and pigs for 5 months, while the same amount put in the shock will keep them in a healthy condition if fed during the winter. Theseeds are fat-forming food and almost as valuable as the stalk and blades.—_[H. F. Grinstead, Tennessee. | Price, 85c per bu. 24 bu. grain bags extra at 20c each. © Subject to change.

This wheatis tall, with broad smoothleaves. The heads arelarge, heavily bearded, and have much the appearance of barley. The kernels are large, very hard, having less starch than common wheat. Largely used in the manufacture of Macaroni, and makes excellent flour. The habit of growth adapts Macaroni Wheat to regions of light rainfall, having great ability to withstand drought and heat. It requires rich soil, but will grow in alkali. Reports show a better yield per acre of Macaroni or Durum wheat than other spring varieties. Sow early in the spring as it is not easily injured by frost. Price, $1.30 per bu.; 12 bu., $1.25 per bu. Early Java. A new variety of spring wheat which has proved to be about ten days earlier than the old standard sorts, and thus escapes the extreme hot weather which is so injurious to small grain. Itis usually ready for harvest just as early as winter wheat, and is therefore desirable to sow on land where winter wheat has partially failed. A good crop can in this way be secured from fields which would otherwise be unprofitable and the wheat would be all right for milling purposes, but of course would not do for seed. It isa good vigorous growing bearded variety, bearing a heavy head on stiff straw. Yields in this locality under ordinary conditions thirty-five bushels peracre. Per lb., 25¢; 3 lbs., 60c; postpaid. By freight, pk., 40c; bu., $1.30. 2 bu. or more at $1.25. WINTER WHEAT Turkey Red. The very best variety Winter Wheat in existence, and may be considered strictly ironclad, as it has proven invariably so here in the most exposed places every winter. Its growth somewhat resembles rye, stooling out greatly and yielding immense crops; having a record as high as 52 bushels per acre under ordinary culture. It is a bearded variety, red and very hard. While itis a Winter Wheat, not sown until September, it will pay you to order now for shipment as soon as the neW crop is threshed. Prices are somewhat subject to market, as we sell this on a close margin, considering the extra care for seed cleaning and preparing for shipment. Write for price.

Sample ears, 25c each, postpaid. 5 1bs. any one kind shelled corn, $1.00, express paid by us. Purchasers of Griswold’s Western Grown seed corn can rely upon securing unmixed yarieties. All of our seed corn is prepared by experienced seedmen. We donot have boysin our employin this work. Furthermore, each variety of seed corn is kept entirely separate. Ourseed cornis brought to our warehouse in theear. Here the ears are carefully hand picked and only perfect ones, with sound corn, are saved. The poor corn goes to the grinder for feed, while the perfect seed ears are sent to the butting and tipping machine, which shells off the tips and butts, leaving only the perfect regular sized kernel forseed. After shelling the seed corn is run through a large cleaning machine, equipped with separating screen. A powerful fan mill blows out all trash and light kernels. Before our seed corn is shipped out it is placed in our Seed Tester, the plans for which were endorsed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Here it must test out at least 90 per cent. In picking over seed corn this season we find a great many apparently good ears that have rotted at the cob. Infact, some good corn we have examined will not run 5 percent seed. Farmers can not run the risk of a poor stand. Better let ug furnish something that we have tested and know is good. GikOGg ge 60A0a: - A .Ad me { AQvve ta a," 2 «.

This new corn originated with one of our progressive up-to-date farmers near Lincoln. For the past three years he has been breeding it for the following important points: long well dented kernel, small cob, ends well filled, large yield. He has certainly accomplished this result. The ears are just crowded full of large deep solid kernels. Kernels frequently run ? inch long from tip to tip. Bronze Beauty is medium late. Color a beautiful bronze to golden yellow. On our trial grounds it averaged 100 bushels per acre. On good soil it ought to yield, field over, not less than 85 to 90 bushels per acre. Give ita trial. Weare selling it mighty cheap.

This seed was purchased direct from Funk last year at an expense of $5.00 per bushel and grown here right near Lincoln. This strain, number 140, was selected for large amount of protein, oil and extra large yield. Average yield for four years as follows: 1902, 111 bu.; 1903, 119 bu.; 1964, 108 bu.; 1905, 114 bu. If you manage right and plant on good, rich soil you ought to get not less than 90 bushels here in Nebraska. This Funk’s Yellow Dent is an improvement of Reid’s Yellow Dent, and has the same general characteristics. The ears are from 8 to 11 inches long, cylindrical in shape from butt to tip, with 18 to 20 rows on a small cob. The kernels set very close together with no open space between. They are moderately rough, rather blunt, medium in thickness, and almost cover both ends of the cob. The cob is small, red, has small shank, and easy to shuck. This variety is a vigorous grower, stalks 8 to 10 ft. high, extra heavy below the ear, and does not blow down easily. The foliage being heavy it makes a fine fodder and ensilage corn. It cures readily in the shock, and retains its natural green color. Shelled, peck, 75c; one-half bushel, $1.25; bushel, $2.00. On ear, } bushel, $1.25; one-half bushel, $2.00; one bushel, $3.00.

Matures early, yields largely, and a vigorous grower. 8 to 12 bushels of seed required to the acre. One peck will plant about 100 hills. IMPORTANT.—Seed Potatoes should be changed every yeam The necessity for doing 60 is universally admitted by all potato growers, especially when the best seeds can be had at so little additional outlay, but it ls seldom practiced. Our Northern Grown Seed were produced by potato specialists, who have grown for us for years. They use first class potato land, pure well-matured good sized seeds, When necessary they treat the seed and spray the foliage. I have experimented and find that the Northern Potatoes pay. I planted some very fine home grown potatoes side by side with Northern Grown Marly Ohios, with results as follows:— 60 bushels to the acre more of the Northern Grown, so fine they brought me 10 to 15 cents more per bushel in the market than home ones were bringing, making me $30 to $40 profit over the native.

They area very fine lot, sound, very dry, large, and mealy.”’ . ‘““The Red River Early Ohios are all that you claim for them.” ““T bought some northern grown potatoes from you last spring, and they made a good crop, yielding fully three times as much as the average here.” : For Sweet Potatoes, See page 46. 18 GRISWOLD SEED CO., LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. FOR THE LAWN To MAKE A Goop LAawn.—Nothing is more easily made and kept in order by a little well directed care. To get grass seed up quickly and evenly the surface must be mellow and level, with at least six inches of good black soil. Sow one pound of our Special Lawn Mixture to every 400 square feet, rake the seed in and roll well, or use a wide board untii soil is uniformly firm. If thesoil isclayey, cover the surface with a light coating oi our Lawn Fertilizer, This fertilizer decays slowly, and will feed the young plants during the entire season. To keep the lawn beautiful, it must be frequently mowed. In hot dry weather itis better to mow the lawn and not remove the clippings, as these will gradually form a thin mulch which will hold moisture, and protect the roots from the hot sun. Never water a lawn when the soil and grass are hot. The best time for watering is in the early morning before sunrise. SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. 4 mitre adapted to our hot, dry climate. It is composed of Blue Grass, White Clover, and several other best lawn grasses. Some of these come early, some grow best during the summer, some grow well in the shade, while others make their growth in the fall. In this way one has green grass the whole season.’ This mixture will make a rich, deep green, velvety lawn, with a close, thick turf, in a few weeks’ time, and one that will last much better than if sodded. We use only fancy new crop seeds, free from all foul weed seeds. One pound covers 400 square feet (a space 20x20 feet), for new lawns, and half this amount for reseeding old ones.

That this should have been done in so short a time proves conclusively its superior merit. We had the agency for these Incubators and Brooders the last two years.

Sashes are usually 3x6 ft. Dig a trench 2 ft. deep, around this place a irame i6 inches high at the back and eight inches infront. Fill the hole with fresh horse manure that has lain fora week or ten days, tramping it down firmly and covering with 4inchesof fine, rich, blacksoil. Place the sashes over the frame. After standing a few days lift the sashes to allow the rank heat and steam to pass off; when the temperature Has subsided to 90 degrees F.sow the seed. Itis best to bank tne outside of the frame up to the sash. The hotbed may be all above ground by making a pile of manure 2 ft. high, and 2 ft. longer and 2 ft. wider than the frame, fillin with black soil and complete as directed for the excavated bed. When plants are nearly ready ior outside lift the sashes every pleasant day, gradually hardening off the seedlings. Frame and sashes should be stored away at the close of the season and will thus last for years. Vegetable Seeds.

BEAN Busch Bohnen 1 pintto 100 feet of drill; 1 bushel per acre. Earliest varieties ready for tablein The soil best adapted to beans is a light, rich, well drained loam, which was manured for the pre- vious crop. Beans are extremely sensitive to both cold and wet, and it is useless to plant them before the ground has become dry and warm. The largest re- turn will result from planting in drills from twoto three feet apart, and leaving the plants two to six inches apart in the row. Up to the time of blossoming they should have frequent shallow cul- Zs tivation. Never hoe when the vines are wet,as the pods would become discolored. For succes- sion plant every two weeks.

Mangels and Sugar Beets are being grown more largely each season, and provide fresh green food for dairy stock and the fatten- ing of cattle, sheep, and hogs during winter. A most valuable addition to the dry rations, largely incieasing the flow of milk in cows, and also helps to promote their health while stabled. When the fact is considered that 50 tons of Mangel Wurzeil may be grown on a single acre, at a small outlay, the wonder is that every farmer does not profit by it. Mangels grow to a larger.size and will pro- duce a greater bulk of roots per acre than sugar beets, but the latter are richer in quality and of superior feeding value. As all Mangels require a deep soil in order to grow Well, plow and subsoil at least a foot to eighteen inches and apply plenty of rich stable manure. Sow in April to June, inrows eighteen inches to two feet apart, and thin to eight inches inthe rows. Young plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies. As soon as frost occurs dig the crop.

Finish earthing up in autumn, and never hoe or earth up when plants are wet, as this would be likely to cause them to rust or rot. To keep celery for winter, dig trenches a foot wide and as deep as the tops of the plants. Stand celery in these erect, with what dirt adheres to the roots, packing closely, but not crowding.

Your earliest plants are thus protected and those of later planting that escape the bugs will prolong the pickle season. Kill bugs with Slugshot. See page 22. MARCH 23, 1906.

As early as the ground can be worked in the spring, sow the seeds in drills 14inches apart, covering half an inch. When the plants can just be seen in the rows, commence hoeing, just skimming thesurface. Subsequently weed thoroughly and carefully byhand.

The general crop may be delayed until later, but we have met with better success from sowing all the varieties comparatively early, depending for succession upon selecting sorts that follow each otherin ripening. The peas will mature earlier if covered only one inch deep, but larger pods and more of them will be produced if the seed be planted in trenches three to six inches deep, covered with only one or two inches of soil. When the plants are five or six inches high, fill the trench level with the surface; this will secure deep rooting, prevent mildew, and prolong the bearing season. The crop should be gathered as fast at it is fit for use. If evenafew pods begin to ripen, not only will new pods cease to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing. New Peas. Potlatch.

Reuben Ready from 40 to 60 days from seed, accord- : NK, ing to variety. f as * NR a \ 4 Wy The turnip is most easily affected in form and flavor, by soil, climate and mode of culture. Sow in drills about 16 inches apart, and half an inch deep or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the ground rich and freshly dug.

WHY OUR PLANTS ARE THE BEST They are taken from mother plants that bave been re=- stricted; that is, they have not borne for one year. No berry produces better results for the small amount of labor and space required thin strawberries. Runners from bearing plants are immature and have not crowns wee and roots as vigorous as those restricted. The plants we send out Wee have been given the treatment best adapted to the production of wstrong plants. It is important that you start the bed with such ystock, for thus you have only to enable them to hold their own and you reap the harvest. To get the best results we would urge you to pinch off all buds as they form the first season. The two years restriction thus given will insure big crops of big berries thereafter. Set out in the early spring. After much experimenting we are convinced that summer or fall planting cannot be successful in Nebraska. The ground should be fertilized with rich, well rotted compost, well worked into the soil. Dip the plants in water as soon as received, and bury the roots in moist, shady ground till you are ready to set them out. In setting the plants be careful to have the crowns even with or a little above the surface of the ground, and to have the trench or hole in which the plants are to be set deep enough to allow the roots their full length. For field culture, plant in rows four feet apart, with the plants one foot apart in the row. For garden culture, plant three feet by one foot. Turn runners the direction of the row. Cultivate well and ksep out weeds. When the ground freezes, mulch with a light coat of straw. Remove the mulch in the spring and cultivate. (B.) Perfect flowers—can be plantedalone. (P.) Pistillate, imperfect— flowers must have some marked (B.) mixed with them. BRANDYWINE Never Has Disappointed. (B.) This berry has been grown in Nebraska for years, and has always given the best of satis- faction. Medium to late. While the early varieties are often injured by late frosts, the Brandywine, which is a little later in developing, escapes and produces an enormouscrop. Berrieg are large, dark red to the heart, flavor perfect. Stems are thick and strong, and hold the fruit well off the ground. A prolific bearer and grower. Uxquestionably one of the best for home use or for marketing. 25¢ per doz.; $1.00 per 100, postpaid. By express, $4.00 per 1000. Mills Early. (B.)

FLOWER SEEDS It will pay you to read the following carefully: GENERAL CULTURE.—A rather light and moderately rich soil, thoroughly spaded, is most desirable. That the tiny seed- lings may be seen and the weeds removed, it is better to plant all flower seeds inrows. Sow the seed evenly in the rows, cover with the finest of soil, about three times the diameter of the seed, and press the soil firmly over the seed.. Thesoil should never become dry after the seeds have swelled, for if it does, they will be pretty sure to fail. Do not grow the plants too thick. Keep the weeds down and the surface of the soil well stirred with a hoe or rake during the summer, especially if the weather is dry. A great many varieties can be sownin the house, if desired, early,and afterwards trans- planted. Most plants will continue to bloom much longer if the flowers are picked, and not allowed to form seed. c We use the following abbreviations to classify varieties: ‘Descriptive List of ... A—To designate Annuals. B—To designate Biennials. P—To designate Perennials. Bloom and die the first year from Bloom the second year from seed Bloom the second year from seed seed.

CULTURE IN OPEN GROUND Remember that the FALL and NoT the spring is the time to plant all spring flowering bulbs. They may be put in almost any time from October first until the ground freezes; in fact we have succeeded with even later planting; but early planting brings the best success. The soil should be well spaded, and the surface of the beds slightly raised at the center, so that no water will stand. Bulbs cannot bear wet feet. The soil will be better ii enriched with well rotted manure or bone dust. All bulbs like a sunny exposure, and if protected from the north will bloom earlier. Before severe weather comes cover the beds with several inches of leaves, straw or coarse manure, removing it early in the spring. The bulbs do well for a number of years without lifting or replanting. When through flowering the beds may be planted with shallow rooted annuals, as petunias, verbenas, etc. If necessary the bulbs may be taken up when the leaves begin to ripen, to be again planted the coming fall. . 5c, postpaid . 25c, postpaid The material is very strong and durable.

The result was a remarkably well-balanced oat, showing greatly in- creased vigor and productiveness over both its parents. Its qualities: Straw exceedingly tall, stiff and leavy; very large, branching heads; grain plump, weighing 36 to 45 pounds per bushel; practically rust, smut and insect proof; extensive root development; wonderful stooler; grows fast, checks weeds; does not lodge; withstands drought, storms and other unfavorable con- ditions. Read’s Defiance Oat yielded with Mr. Read from 50 tou 120 bushels per acre under ordinary cultivation. Under high cultivation it yielded from 150 to 200 bushels per acre. 1493 pounds of grain was raised from one ounce of seed. Prices—Packet, 50 cents postpaid; 1 pound, $1.25 postpaid; 3 pounds, $3.00 postpaid. Express or freight not prepaid; 1 peck, $3.50; 4 bushel, $6.00; 1 bushel, $10 00.

Hesays, “‘Can’t help producing heavy yields.’”’ On the right is Prof. C. G. Pringle, Pioneer Hybridizer and Botanist of the U.S., who inspected large fields directly after three successive severe storms and found them free from lodging. Hesays, “Though I had myself won success in originating new cereals, I had never seen such mag- nificent fields of oats.” READ’S TRIUMPH BARLEY Is the result of a scientific cross made by G. A. Read in 1897 between the two-rouwed Highland Chief and the six-rowed Manshury, to produce a distinct six-rowed variety with stronger straw and heads as long, but thicker and better filled vut than Manshury. Its points of superiority are: Strongest straw; stands up _ best; crinkles least; rapid grower; arrests weeds: enormous stooler; best for grain mixtures; resists drought best; never affected by disease; largest heads; grain colors less and weighs 48 to 52 p unds per bushel; grand malt- ing variety; soft, silky beards; safer to feed; easier to handle. Read’s Triumph Barley yielded with Mr. Read 70 bushels per acre—ordinary culture. With extra care it has yielded as high as 200 bushels per acre; Under exactly the same conditions it outyielded Mandscheuri 28 bushels per acre. Prices—Packet, 50 cents postpaid; 1 pound, $1.25 postpaid; 3 pounds, $3.00 postpaid. Express or freight not prepaid; 1 peck, $3.70; 4 bushel, $7.00; 1 bushel, $12.00.

Both grown under exactly the same conditions. The loss to farmers by unfilled and discolored barley caused by lodging is estimated at millions of dollars Read’s Triumph will do more to reduce this tremendous loss than any six- rowed barley ever originated. f. H. Horsford, the well-known Nurseryman and originator of the famous Market Garden Pea, says: “‘Greatest combination of qualities in a barley I have seen.”’ ‘We Guarantee All of the Grain we sell under Read’s Name and description to come direct from him, and None is Genuine without this Guarantee.”
