(Tennessee-grown). This is a type 

 ol Golden Millet, much superor to 

 seed grown farther north, being taller and stronger, with larger 

 heads, yielding an abundant crop for either cutting gr»en or 

 curing for hay. Our seed is specially grown and selected and

acre. $2.50 bushel of 50 lbs.; 10 bushel lots, $2.40 bushel. 



(Northern-grown). This variety is 

 iderably larger than Hungarian 

 and yields a much heavier crop, but is later and not so quick 

 growing, consequently cannot be sown much after the fourth of 

 July in this latitude. $1.90 bushel of 50 lbs.; 10 bushels and 

 upwards, $1.80 bushel.

A ithorities who have made a careful estimate, 

 state that plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equiva- 

 20 tons of stable manure per acre, and even if the Clover 

 be harvested or pasture I, eni fits derived from the wonder- 



ful nitrogenous root formation will alone many times repay the 

 and labor. 

 It may be sown amon ; corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at time 

 of last hoiing. or after . cucumbers have been 



harvested or on grain stubble and harr .wed in. When sewn in 

 July and early in Au list, it has pr >ved hardy as far North as 

 Michigan and Canada. In the latitude of .New York, time of
