East Indian or Pearl Millet 



For several years we have been experimenting with all 

 the known forage plants and have found nothing superior to 

 Pearl Millet eitiier in enormous growth or quality. It has 

 produced the most abundantly and can be cut several times 

 during the season. The United States .Agricultural Depart- 

 ment has also made numerous experiments and with about 

 the same results as those at Floracroft. INIany customers 

 who also planted it on our recommendation, are now enthu- 

 siastic in its praise. If you grow green forage try East 

 Indian or Pearl Millet, and you will find there is nothing 

 better. Drill in 2 feet rows, 10 lbs. to the acre. Bv mail, 

 postpaid, per pkt., lOc; lb., 30o.; 3 lbs., 75c.; bv freight or 

 express, lb., 20c.; 10 lbs. (enough for 1 acre), 81.00; bush, of 

 50 lbs , 84.50. 



German or Golden Millet 



(SOUTHERN GROVN) 



Southern grown German Millet Seed is far superior, both 

 in quality and yield of product, to Western or Northern 

 grown seed. When properly grown and handled, makes an 

 enormous yield of nutritious feed, succeeding in almost any 

 soil. Sow in May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price 

 varies with the market. Qt., lOc; bush., about 50 lbs., 81.75

 tons of hav per acre. Sow IJ^ bushels to the acre in May or

SIBERIAN 



O R ^^ ^ 



RUSSIAN 

 MILLET 



A new and wonder- 

 fully productive forage 

 plant from Bussia, which 

 has given excellent re- 

 sults in the United States 

 and is rapidly becoming 

 the most popular of all 

 the millets. It is ex- 

 tremely hardy, with- 

 stands drought wonder- 

 fully, and is about two 

 weeks earlier than Ger- 

 man Millet, growing 

 four to five feet in 

 height, much ranker, 

 producing more leaves 

 than either the Hungar- 

 ian or German Millet. 

 Its stooling properties 

 are remarkable, as high 

 as forty-one stalks hav- 

 ing been grown from 

 one seed. The leaves 

 .start close to the ground 

 and continue nearly to 

 the top of the stem; are 

 wide and tender, mak- 

 ing it preferable to all 

 other millets for hay. 

 Yield of hay is one-third 

 to one-half more per 

 acre than Hungarian 

 and German; besides, 

 the hay is softer when 

 cured, greener in color 

 and preferred by all 

 stock, being very nutri- 

 tious and fattening. 

 Sow in May or June, 15 

 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 

 Lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., post- 

 paid by mail; by freight 

 or express, 10 lbs., 75c ; 

 bush, of 50 lbs., 82.00; 

 2 bush, and over, $1.75 

 per bush.
