CORN for FODDER and ENSILAGE 



Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre if in hills. Broadcast 2 bu. per acre 



SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is 

 very leafy and well adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this corn are 

 sold by feed and other stores which usually result in disappointment to the 

 farmer. There is no corn seed more difficult to cure or keep properly, and 

 much of it is kiln-dried, while large quantities have been stored in elevators 

 and gone through a sweating process which has destroyed the germ. The 

 stock we offer is carefully selected, sim-dried and of high germination. 



Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.10; bushel $3.60. 



IMPROVED EARLY HORSE TOOTH. Bemg nearly 

 two weeks earlier, this variety is better adapted for fodder and ensilage in 

 the Northern States than the ordinary Southern Horse Tooth. 



Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00. 



EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER. Fodder grown from the 

 Evergreen Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary field 

 varieties, being richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan is to- 

 sow In rows 24 to 30 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 



Price, qt. 40c,; peck $1.00; bushel $3.25. 



bWELi 1 rUUlJlliK. Best for cutting and feeding green during; 

 the summer months. This is better than any field Corn, from the fact that 

 it is so very sweet and nutritious that cattle will eat every part of the stalk, 

 and leaves with relish. Drill thickly, in rows three feet apart using l>i 

 bushels of seed per acre. 



Price, qt. 40c.; peck $1.00; bushel $3.25. 



SORGHUMS &c. FOR FEED 



DOURA YELLOW BRANCHING, ^veiiow muo uaize) 



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.

SORGHUM or SUGAR CANE. Early Amber. Of great 

 value for cutting green and feeding 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 Orange and may be 

 grown even in Northern States, Cured in the same way as a heavy crop 

 of Clover, it makes an excellent quality of hay.
