Summary[edit]

Description

CURRIE & CO
.*eiE .
FARM SEEDSffi
OATS.
Swedish Select (Wisconsin No. 4) — So generally known as to
need no description, except this, that after several years
of close investigation we have found them the best all
round variety under average conditions. For earliness,
yield and general appearance they are hard to beat. The
kernels are white and plump, with a thin hull. The
straw is strong and vigorous, standing up well, seldom
lodging. The seed we offer is "Wisconsin grown and
thoroughly cleaned, free from impurities.
Peck, 35c; bushel, $1.00; 5 to 10 bushels at 95c per bushel.
Big Four Oats — A medium early variety, with heavy white
grain and strong stiff straw.
Peck, 35c; bushel, $1.10; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.00 per
bushel.
Silver Mine Oats — A popular hardy variety yielding heavy
crops of plump white kernels, free from awns. The
straw is stiff, and while the heads are large it does not
lodge readily.
Peck, 35c; bushel, $1.10; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.00 per
bushel.
Regenerated Swedish Select Oats — Imported from the Garton
Seed Co., England, with whom they originated. The
yield and quality have been greatly improved by their
methods, and the seed we offer actually weighs 50 lbs.
to the measured bushel.
Peck, 50c; bushel (32 lbs.), $1.50; 6 bushels and over at
$1.35 per bushel.
Wisconsin Pedigree Oats — A new variety bred at the Wiscon-
sin Experiment Station and sent out this year for the
first time. Grown along side Swedish Select, it is earlier,
a stronger grower and a far heavier yielder than that
sort. It is a valuable acquisition, and cannot fail to be a.
great boon to the farmers of "Wisconsin.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50.
New Black Oat "Victor" — The earliest and heaviest yielding
Black Oat known. No other variety compares with it in
point of yield and richness of food.
Peck, 60c; bushel (32 lbs.), $1.75; 6 bushels and over at
$1.60 per bushel.

Swedish Select Oats.
SPELTZ.
(Emmer.)
Grows and yields better under adverse conditions than any
other grain crop. "Weight per bushel, 40 lbs. Sow 1%
bushels to the acre.
Peck, 40c; ;bushel, $1.25; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.20 per
bushel.
BUCKWHEAT.
Japanese — Very prolific, kernels about double the size of the
common sorts, and it ripens earlier.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50.
Silver Hull — Much esteemed for making flour.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50.
If Grain is wanted in new Seamless Bags, add 20 cts.
for each bag required.
EYE.
Spring — Used extensiyely as a catch crop where winter grain
has failed. It can be sown later in spring than other
grain and be ready to"~harvest -at the same time.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.40 per
bushel.
Petkus Winter Rye — A remarkably heavy yielder. The Wis-
consin Experiment Station reports an average yield of
40.3 bushels of it to the acre. It is greatly esteemed for
making bread. Its great productiveness of large, heavy
grain and tall, strong straw renders it an exceedingly
desirable variety.
Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50.
Wisconsin Pedigree Rye — A new fall rye the result of twelve
years of careful breeding at the Wisconsin Experiment
Station, which for yield and uniformity of kernels
eclipses all other sorts. It has a strong, stiff straw,
with heads of unusual length. The kernels are very
large and plump, almost as large as oats.
Peck, 60c; bushel, $1.75.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
