== MILLET == 
Excellent catch crops for sowing during the summer, and are especially val- 
uuable in seasons or short hay crop. They cure into excellent hay if cut when in 
blossom ; if allowed to ripen they become too woody. 
HUNGARIAN. Is the quickest of catch crops for hay, and as it may be 
sown any time during the summer months up to the middle of August, it is 
invaluable for overcoming a shortage of the regular hay crop. Many farmers 
now occupy their land with other crops, and for their hay depend entirely upon 
Hungarian Grass, which they can sow after other crops have been harvested. Sow 
1 bushel per acre. (See cut.) $2.00 bushel of 48 1bs.; 10 bushels and upwards, $1.90 
bushel. 
GERMAN or GOLDEN. (Tennessee-grown.) — This is a type of Golden 
Millet, much superior to seed grown farther north, being taller and stronger, 
with larger heads, yielding an abundant crop for either cutting green or curing 
for hay. Our seed is specially grown and selected, and will produce nearly 
double the crop from seed not so grown and which can be offered at a cheaper 
price. Sow one bushel per acre. $2.30 bushel of 501bs.; 10-bushel lots, $2,.20bushel. 
GERMAN or GOLDEN. (Northern-grown.)—This variety is considerably 
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. $1.80 bushel of 501bs.; 10 bushels and upwards, $1.70 busheL

It grows with tropical luxuriance in strong, 
loamy soil, particularly if well enriched, and then 
attains a height of from 7 to9 feet, and produces an 
enormous quantity of green fodder, for which purpose 
itcan be cut several times during the season, as it 
immediately starts a new growth after cutting, and 
grows with great rapidity.

of New York. The first cutting should be made when 
about 3 feet high; this will cause it to tiller and 
spread, and as the season advances and becomes 
warmer, it grows with marvellous rapidity. No other 
crop will yield as much forage as Pearl Millet when 
sown onrichly manured land.
