Sorghum Is Excellent for forage, Grain and Syrup 



Early Amber Cane 



EARLY AMBER SORGHUM— Exceedingly popular 

 for forage, relished greatly by stock, because of 

 sweetness. Makes good syrup but not quite as 

 good for syrup as the Orange because of the 

 small stalk. Plant March to July in rows 3 feet, 

 121/2 pounds per acre, 6 to 10 seeds, 12 to 18 

 inches apart in rows. If sown broadcast, half 

 bushel per acre.

EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM— Equally as valuable 

 as the Amber for forage but on account of the 

 longer growth it is better for syrup making. 

 About ten days later than the Amber. Planting 

 and culture same as Amber.

Crotalaria 



CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 



World's Best Cover Crop. Build up your soil 

 with this new legume. This new legume produces 

 more humis and more nitrogen per acre than any 

 other crop. It is not a pest and can be easily 

 eradicated and reseeds itself each year under 

 favorable conditions. It is used as a summer cover 

 crop and soil builder in groves, orchards, vine- 

 yards, etc. Livestock will not eat it, therefore you 

 will not be tempted to cut it for hay when your 

 ground needs it so badly. This should be planted 

 as soon as danger of frost is past and at a time 

 when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, and 

 can be planted as late as July, either broadcast or 

 drilled. Ten pounds of seed is required per acre 

 for broadcasting and half of that amount if drilled. 

 Grows from 5 to 10 feet depending entirely on the 

 locality.

STRAWBERRY SHOOKS 

 or DIRT BANDS 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS or DIRT BANDS— Eggplants, 

 muskmelons and early cucumbers pay well if 

 they come early into the market. In order to 

 have them early, it is a good plan to start them 

 in a cold frame in what are called "Dirt Bands." 

 This is a box 4 inches square and 4 inches deep, 

 without bottoms. These are placed in a frame 

 and filled up with good rich soil, and five or six 

 seeds in each box. When the plants come up, thin 

 them out to one or two in each box. Before using 

 dirt bands, wet them thoroughly before handling 

 or they will be apt to break at the grooves, as 

 they are made of thin veneered wood. 

 60c per 100; $3.00 per 1,000, not prepaid. 

 Tacks for Dirt Bands and Boxes. 

 1/4 lb., 15c; lb., 50c, postpaid.
