LINCOLN OATS.—Don’t fail to notice illustration and description of this new on our colored plate. Per lb. 30c., 3 lbs. 75c., pk. 85c., bu. $2.50.
EARLY WHITE DAKOTA OATS.—This new early variety originated in Dakota, has been thoroughly tested in this state during the past seven years, and proved in all respects to be desirable. Very plump, heavy kernel, large heads and stools out exception ally well. It has a record on Dakota soil of 159 bushels to the acre. Is of medium height, with a strong, stiff straw fully capable of supporting the heavy weight, entirely free from rust and yields an immense crop. It will pay every farmer to try it. Per lb. 25c., 3 lbs. 65c., pk. 50c., bu. $1.00, 10 bu. $9.00.
PRIZE CLUSTER OATS.—Very popular variety in some localities. It is earlier than most other sorts, grows to medium height and stools exceptionally well. Heads long and well filled with plump kernels, which have quite a thin hull. If on rich ground it is necessary to cut as soon as mature or the heavy head is liable to bend it to the ground. Per lb. 20c., 3 lbs., 50c., pk. 40c., bu. $1.00, 10 bu. $9.00.
WHITE BONANZA.—Most excellent variety which has yielded immense crops in some places. It is of early vigorous growth and very productive. Grains short and plump. Per lb. 20c., 3 lbs. 50c., pk. 40c., bu. $1 00, 10 bu. $9.00.
VELVET CHAFF or BLUE STEM WHEAT.—Several years’ test has proven that this does the best of any sort throughout Iowa. It is a re markable, semi-hard spring wheat, yielding large crops free from rust. The millers here pay five to six cents per bushel more for it than for any other sort. Per lb. 25c., 3 lbs. 60c., pk. 50c., bu[.] $1.75, bag of 2½ bu. $4.00.
IMPROVED SASKACHEWAN FIFE WHEAT—The yield of this splendid new spring wheat is simply extraordinary, in many cases doubling the general [general] average. Charles A. Pillsbury, the milling king of the world, says: “I consider it the best and purest Fife wheat to-day in the northwest. No such milling wheat has been received at our mills since we have been in the milling business.” The Iowa Agricultural Experimental Station tested it in 1889, and they class it as the best. They say it “stooled well, stood up well, was affected but little by rust or blight.[,] and yielded at the rate of 28 8-10 bushels to the acre of full plump wheat.[”?] Per lb. 25c., 3 lbs. 60c., pk. 65c., bu[.], $1.75, bag of 2½ bu. $4.00.
TURKISH RED WINTER WHEAT—Has proved to be the best and most profitable sort for this state, Yields a larger crop and the crop is more certain. Write for prices when wanted.
FALL WHEAT.—Send for list in August.
MANSHURY BARLEY.—Is one of the very best six rowed sorts grown, with kernels plumper, fuller than the best Scotch barley; while for malting it is the very best known. It is early in ripening, which helps it to fill well, thus it always fills plump. It has a strong, upright straw, and yields from 50 to 70 bushels per acre. The heads of this barley are very long, and contain from 75 to 100 great, plump, heavy kernels of grain. Professor Henry, of Wisconsin Agricultural College, in its report, says: “The Manshury still heads the list in productiveness.[”?] Per lb. 25c., 3 lbs. 60c., pk. 50c., bu. $1.25. 10 bu. $10.00.
SPRING RYE.—This grain is often planted by the farmers especially for the paper makers, who prefer it to any other. The straw is shorter and stiffer than the winter variety and is always easily secured, while the grain although smaller, is of equal value. Per lb. 25c., 3 lbs. 60c., pk. 65c., bu[.], $1.50, 10 bu. $12.50.
WINTER RYE.—Per pk. 45c., bu. $1.00, 10 bu. $9.00.
SEED FLAX.—It pays to own your own flax seed, instead of raising it on contract. It pays to raise flax; in many cases a single crop will pay for the farm on which it was raised. We have a nice supply of seed flax this year which we offer at low prices. Ask for quotations.
RUSSIAN FLAX.—Superior to the common, as grains are larger, plump, heavy and quite productive. Per lb. 40c., 3 lbs. $1.00. pk. 75c., bu. $2.25,
The Early White Dakota Oats received from you was very satisfactory, and will order again. L. T Jorgensen, Lake City, Ia.
Mt. Ayr, Iowa, July 21, 1892.—With pleasure I acknowledge the receipt of the July number of the Western Garden, and am satisfied I shall be able to get much good information from it.
The most important thing for a farmer is good seed, and my experience in buying seed for a 360 acre farm is that none better can be furnished than those from the Iowa Seed Co. I will interest my farmer friends in you for if the farmer prospers we do to. John H. Allyn, Cash. Mt. Ayr Bank. .
Quimby, Iowa, Nov. 23, 1892—The Longfellow Dent Corn purchased from you has done splendid. The Longfellow Flint was also good in quality and quantity. L. S Stanford.

Clarence, Iowa, Dec. 1, 1892. The Leaming corn purchased from you did first class. O. T. Johnson.
Tipton, Iowa, Nov. 22, 1892.—I sowed the three bushels of Golden Wonder Millet bought of you on July 7th, which was as early as I could get a team across as I could account across the field on of wet weather, and it yielded 14 loads of first class hay. My neighbor whom I ordered for at the same time also had a splendid crop. Other neighbors sent to ——— —————, and got German Millet, and there was not one of them had any crop. They never thought of cutting it. Chas. Mason.
Danville, Ia., Nov. 18, 1892.—The Golden Wonder Millet seed I received from you proved very satisfactory, raising a good crop. C. L. Hunter.
