East Indian or Pearl Millet 



For several years we have been experimenting with all the known forage plants and have found 

 nothing equal to Pearl Millet either in growth or quality. It has produced the most abundantly and 

 ran be cut several times during the season. The ITnited States Agricultural Department has also made 

 numerous experiments and with about the same results as those at Floracroft. If you grow green forage 

 try East Indian or Pearl ^lillet on our recommendation and you will iind there "is nothing equal to it. 

 Drill in 2 feet rows, 10 lbs. to the acre. Price, choice American grown seed. Per pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c. 

 By mail, post^jaid, lb., 20c.; 10 lbs. (enough for 1 acre), §1.50; bushel, $5.00, by freight or express. 



Teosinte (Reana Luxurians) 



This gigrantie Grammea will furnish a continuous daily 

 supply of most nutritious green food for horses and all kinds 

 of cattle all through the summer. It also makes splendid 

 dry fodder, yielding euorraously, and being more nutritious 

 and better relished by all kinds of stock than corn fodder. 

 In appearance it somewhat resembles Indian corn, but the 

 leaves are much larger and broader, and the stalks c-ontain 

 sweeter sap. In its perfection it produces a great number 

 of shoots, growing ten to twelve feet high, very thickly 

 covered with leaves, yielding an abundance of forage. It 

 stools out enormously after being cut. as many as forty-five 

 stalks having been grown from a single seed. Sow in May 

 or June, at the rate of three pounds per acre, in drills three 

 and a half to four feet apart. Pkt., lOc: oz., l-5c.; }^ lb., 40c.;

L.4.TBtTKrS STLTESTKIS, or PXAT PEA. If the 

 strong claims made for this forage plant are but half true, it 

 is certainly one of the best yet discovered. The roots pene- 

 trate the soil twenty to thirty feet, enabling it to withstand 

 cold or drought, and will last fifty years without manure or 

 reseeding. It will fatten hogs or sheep without grain, and 

 will cut six to eight tons of hay to the acre. Sow in drills 

 twelve to fifteen inches apart. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20e.; J^ lb., 

 60c.; lb., S2.00, postpaid. 



KAFFIR CORN 



It ^vill make a tine crop of forage if cut in early bloom, 

 and the shoots that then follow will mature a full crop of seed 

 and forage. Both grain and fodder are excellent, the whole 

 stalk tender to the full maturity of seed. There is no failure 

 about it, as it possesses the quality that all the tribe posse.-s, 

 of waiting for rain without any loss of capacity to yield. 

 The grain makes a flour that is like wheat. Cultivated the 

 same as our common Indian Corn, requiring four to five 

 poundsofseed peracre. B,v mail, postage paid, pkt., lOc: lb.,

JEKCSAiE>I COKX. Belongs to the non-saecharine 

 sorghums, and was brought a few years since from the arid 

 plains of Palestine. It is pronounced by all who have grown 

 it the best and surest crop for dry countries and seasons. 

 Grows about three feet high. The grains are pure Tvbite and 

 nearly flat. Three pounds ^11 plant an acre. The cultiva- 

 tion is the same as for Kaflir Com and other forage plants.
