HUNGARIAN MILLET.

MILLET. 
Excellent catch crops for sowing during the summer, 
and are especially valuable in seasons of short hay 
crop. They cure into excellent hay if cut when in 
blossom ; if allowed to ripen they become too woody. 
HUNGARIAN. (Panicum Germanicum.)—Isthe _. 3 de 
quickest of catch crops for hay, and as it may be sown > WW Vay 
any time during the summer months up to middle of TINA 
August, it is invaluable for overcoming a shortage 7 AS 
the regular hay crop. Many farmers now occupy 
their land with other crops, and for their hay depend 
entirely on Hungarian Grass, which they can sow “~\/ 
after other crops have been harvested. Sow 1 bushel 7s 
per acre. (See cut.) 10 cts, lb., $1.40 bushel, $2.75 
per 1oolbs., 10 bushels and upwards, $1.30 bushel. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN. (Lanicum Milia- a \ ~ 
ceum Aureum,.)—This variety is considerably larger ~— ‘ 
than Hungarian and yields a much heavier crop, but 
is later and not so quick growing, consequently can- 
not be sown much after the fourth of July in this 
latitude. To maintain its heavy cropping character, 
seed of this variety needs to be specially cultivated. 
Our seed is specially grown and selected, and will 
roduce nearly double the crop of seed not so grown 
and which can be offered at a cheaper price. Sow one 
bushel per acre. to cts, 1lb., $1.50 bushel, $3.00 per 
100 lbs., 10 bushels and upwards, $1.40 bushel. 
PEARL MILLET. (Pennisetum Spicatum.)—Is not so hardy as the other varieties, and 
succeeds best in latitudes south of New York. The first cutting should be made when about 3 
feet high; this will cause it to tiller and spread, and as the season advances and becomes 
wariner, it grows with marvellous rapidity. No other crop will yield as much forage as Pearl 
Millet when sown on richly manured land, Sow in drills, 5 to 6 lbs. per acre ; if broadcast, 
8 lbs. per acre. Weight, per bushel, 56 lbs. (See cw.) Clean Seed, 12 cts. ]b., $10.00 per 100 lbs. 
PEARL MILLET, 
PLANT IN ROWS OR HILLS. SO RG H UMS. CULTIVATE SAME AS CORN. 
TEOSINTE. (Reana Luxurians.)—Plant resembles Corn, 
but is more leafy and tillers enormously. After cutting it grows 
again with remarkable rapidity. ‘Those having only a small 
amount of land on which it is desired to produce the maximum 
amount of forage should sow Teosinte. Plant in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. 
peracre. $1.00 lb., 10 lbs. and upwards, go cts. lb. 
RURAL BRANCHING DOURA. (Millo Maize, Sor- 
ghum Vulgare.—A wonderfully productive fodder plant that makes 
a great amount of toliage, and can be cut several times in the 
season. Plant 4 to 5 lbs. totheacre. t12c. lb.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
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 
much from the ground, although it branches out from the joints. 
It produces an enormous quantity of fodder, for which stock show a 
marked partiality. Plant 4 lbs. to the acre. 12c. 1b.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
BROOM CORN, EVERGREEN. Entirely free from all 
crooked brush, and remuins strictly green, consequently always 
commands the highest market price. i2c. 1b.; 100 lbs., $6 oo. 
JERUSALEM CORN. Grows about three feet high, and is 
one of the surest crops for dry countries and seasons, having 1n 
the driest season in the past 15 years in Kansas produced a crop, 
without irrigation, when other forage plants perished. Five 
pou ds wiil plant an acre. t12¢c 1b.; 100 lbs , $8.00, 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN. Grows four to five feet high, 
with numerous wide leaves, and makes an excellent fodder, either 
gree: or dried which is highly relished by all kinds of stock. It 
should be sown in drills three feet apart. (See cut.) 2c. 1b.; 100 
lbs., $6.00. 
RED KAFFIR CORN. This very leafy and juicy variety 
is taller but move slender than the white, ripens a little earlier 
and yields heavier. Itis 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 cul.) 12c. 1b.; 100 1bs., $6.00. 
SUGAR CANE, 
Eariy Amber. Of 
great value for cut- 
ting green and feed- 
ing green during hot 
weather in summer, 
when pastures are apt 
to be burned up. Being 
a tropical plant, it 
makes its best growth 
during just such 
weather, and cattle, 
horses and sheep 
relish it, and it may 
be fed to them with 
safety. Sow in drills, 
10 to 12 lbs, per acre; 
broadcast, 20 to 25 lbs. 
per acre. Should be 
cut when about 2 feet 
high, and will yield 
several such cuttings. 
Earlier than the Or- 
ange and may be 
grown even in North- 
ern States. Cured in 
the same way as a 
heavy crop of Clover 
it makes an excellent 
quality of hay 12 cts. 
lb.; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
SUGAR CANE, 
Early Orange. Pro- 
duces a larger and 
| heavier growth than 
the Amber, butis later. 
12 cts. lb.; Ioo lhbs., 
$6.00.
