MILLETS. 



(Subject to Market Fluctuations.) 



Japanese Millet (Panicum erus-galli) — Is entirely distinct from any other. It yields an enormous 

 crop of forage, which is greatly relished by stock. When cured it makes excellent Hay. A splen- 

 did silage may be made by mixing two parts Japanese Millet with Sand Vetch or Soy Beans, form- 

 ing a complete balanced ration for milch cows. Sow the Seed broadcast at the rate of 30 lbs. to 

 the acre, or in drills 12 to IS inches apart, using 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. This variety has been 

 sold under the name of Billion Dollar Grass. (36 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 10c (by mail, 1 lb. 

 20c); bushel (36 lbs.) $2.00; 100 lbs. $5.00.

 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 5c (by mail, 1 lb. 15c); per bushel $1.85; per 100 lbs. $3.50. 



German or Golden Millet — Matures about two weeks later than Common Millet. The Seed we offer 

 is Southern grown, and so much better is it than Northern grown that more than double the 

 quantity of fodder is produced on the same ground. It grows from 4 to 5 feet high. Sow 1 

 bushel to the acre. (50 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 5c (by mail, 1 lb. 15c); per bushel $1.85; per

 seed and fodder heavily. Seed a beautiful red color and two or three times the size of German 

 Millet Seed. (50 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 5c (by mail 15c); per bushel $1.85; per 100 lbs. $3.50.

Black Beauty — Not so early as Ito San, but a heavier vielder and better for forage. Plants stocky, of medium height. Quart 

 20c (by mail 35c); peck $1.10; bushel $4.00. 



COW PEAS. 



Highly valued in the South as a forage crop; in fact, it is to the South what clover is to the North. Its feeding qualities 

 are very high. As a soil renovator and fertilizer it is quite equal to clover. The dry peas ground make a rich feed for cattle. 



Sow either broadcast or in drills — covering the Seed from 2 to 3 inches — after 

 ■ e*i the ground is warm, as the Peas rot very readily in cold, wet soil. When sown 



broadcast use from 1 to 2 bushels Seed to the acre. If in drills, half the quantity 

 is enough. 



Michigan Favorite — Northern grown. Quart 20c (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; 

 bushel $3.75.
