RURAL BRANCHING DOURA. 



{Millo Maize, Sorghum Vulgare.) 

 A wonderfully productive fodder plant that makes a great amount of foliage, and can 

 be cut several times in the season. Plant 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre. [Sec cut.) 12c. lb. ; 100 

 lbs., $8.00. 



YELLOW BRANCHING DOURA. 



(Yellow Millo Maize.) 



Earlier than the Rural Branching', and of taller growth, often attaining a height 



of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not stool out quite as mucli from the ground, although it 



branches out from the joints. It produces an enormous quantity of fodder, for whicli 



stock show a marked partiality. Plant 4 lbs. to the acre. (See ciil.) 12c. lb.; 100 lbs., 



JERUSALEM CORN. 



Grows about fire feet high, and is one of the surest crops for dry countries and 

 seasons, having in the driest season in the past 15 years in Kansas produced a crop, 

 w^ithout irrigation, when other forage plants perished. Five pounds will plant an 

 acre. 12c. lb.; 100 lbs., $8.00. 



■•/ cannot say too much for your 

 Jerusalem Corn. I drilled in about 

 IS acres after the ground was so dry 

 in ^fay that I did not think it would 

 sprout, and with not a bit of rain, 

 on dry upland, I now hare over IS 

 tons of tine seed. I tell you it is the 

 crop for dry land and for very late 

 planting. It seems to me it should 

 be better advertised, so all tarmers, 

 in dry sections, could know how val- 

 uable it is. "— C. W. Gammon, Walnut 

 Grove, Cal. 



TEOSINTE. 



(Reana Luxurians.) 



The plant resembles Corn, but is more leafy and tillers enormously. 

 After cutting it grows again with remarkable rapidity. Those having 

 onlj' a small amount of land on which it is desired to produce the maxi- 

 mum amount of forage should sow Teosinte. Plant in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. 

 per acre. (See cut.) 90c. lb.; 10 lbs. and upwards, 80c. lb. 



WHITE KAFFIR CORN. 



Grows four to five feet high, with numerous wide 

 leaves. (See cut.) 10c. lb. ; 100 lbs., $6.00. 



RED KAFFIR CORN. 



This very leafy and juicj' variety is taller but more 

 slender than the white, ripens a little earlier and yields 

 heavier. It is also valuable for sowing on poor land, as 

 it will give better results under these conditions than 

 the White Kaffir Corn, as well as other Sorghums, most 

 of which require a well-enriched soil. (See cut.) 10c. 

 lb.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 



KAFFIR 

 CORN. 



A type of non-saccharine 



Sorghum of greatest value 



for both fodder 



and grain. 



Kaffir Corn is a valuable 

 forage plant, growing AYz to 

 6 feet liigh; it is stocky, 

 erect, and produces wide, 

 luxuriant, succulent foliage, 

 making excellent fodder, 

 either green or dried, and is 

 highly relished by all kinds 

 of stock. Each stalk pro- 

 duces from 2 to 4 heads of 

 grain. These heads are long 

 and narrow. Kaffir Corn 

 has the quality common to all 

 Sorghums, of resisting 

 droughts, and in this fact is 

 to be found its peculiar val- 

 ue, especially in southern 

 sections ; it has yielded pay- 

 ing crops of grain and forage 

 even in seasons so dry that 

 corn utterly failed. The 

 culture is the same as for 

 Field Corn.
