CURRIB BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE, 



HUNGARIAN GRASS. 



We know of nothing like Millet for sowing to cover up shortages in your hay crops. It can I 

 sown up to the middle or end of June, and makes a valuable catch crop. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre.

Common Millet— Very early ; grows 3 to 4 feet high ; foliage broad. (50 lbs. to the bushel.)

 low, in rough sheaths. (50 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb., 5 cts.; per bushel, $1.00; per 100 lbs. 1. 



Hog Millet — A valuable variety, maturing at the same time as Hungarian Grass, producing a

 this proved to be an excellent sort, showing no sign at all of being affected by drought. 

 (50 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb., 5 cts.; per bushel, SI. 20; per 100 lbs 2

I I I P I Kl F Besides being an excellent forage aJant very much relished by cattle, the 

 Lupine is valuable for enriching poor, sandy soil, and is extensively used 

 for that purpose in Europe. Per lb., 15 cts.; 10 lbs., SI. 00; 100 lbs 8.

 gTeat yield of both sugar and syrup. Per lb.,10cts.; 10 lbs., 75 cts.; 100 lbs 4.00

 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs 8.50 



TEOSINTE. 



REANA LUXURIANS. 



The culture of this remarkable forage plant has been kept back for years in this 

 country owing to the difficulty of securing seed of good germinating qualities. We have 

 now succeeded in obtaining a supply of American grown seed of as strong germinating 

 quality as is found in the ordinary field corns. Teosinte is a valuable forage plant, re- 

 sembling Field Corn very much in its habit of growth, but throwing out side-shoots or 

 suckers in much greater profusion. It is very rich in saccharine and altogether furnishes 

 a more desirable fodder than ordinary field corn. At our own trials in Wisconsin, it pro- 

 duced a growth of 9 feet, lull of strong side-shoots or suckers that made a veritable biiBh 

 ©ut of each plant. It is greedily eaten by all kinds of stock, either in the green state or 

 when cured as Hay. Sow at the same time as corn, in hills, just as close as they can be 

 conveniently worked. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 lb., 50 cts.; 1 lb., $1.50; 3 lbs., sufficient for one acre, $4.00.
