NOTEH.— All the sorg- 
hums have better 
; = oo s es m=s drought resisting quali- 
ties than Indian corn, and hence have attracted the attention of agri- 
culturists in search of summer forage crops. The varieties of sorghum 
are many, and may be classed as saccharine and non-saccharine (sweet 
and non-sweet). The first group includes sugar cane; etc.; the second 
group Milo Maize, Jerusalem Corn, Kaffir Corn, ete. Within recent 
years dairymen have widely recognized the high economic value of 
thickly sown sorghum as a summer food for milk cows, and the de- 
mand for such seed is now great. I offer two varieties (sugar cane) 
especially well adapted for this purpose. Use about 18 lbs. to the acre. 
EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE,—This is an unsurpassed sorghum 
for sugar, for ensilage, for fodder and for soiling purposes. It will bear 
pasturing when young, and is thoroughly adapted to the requirements 
of Northern dairymen. The seed is valuable for stock and poultry. 
Packet, 10 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, postpaid. By ex- 
press or freight, peck, 50 cents; bushel (50 pounds), $1.50. 
EARLY ORANGE SUGAR CANE.—The favorite Southern variety. 
It yields an abundance of syrup. It does not grow as tall as Early Am- 
ber, but is heavier. Packet, 10 cts,; pound, 2 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., post- 
paid. By express or freight, peck, 40 cts.; bushel (50 pounds), $1.50. 
This strong growing annual grass is a native of Central 
TEOSINT ® America, and does not mature its seeds at the North. It 
grows from 8 to 12 feet high, and somewhat resembles Indian corn, to 
which it is botanically related. It has the habit of tillering or stooling 
at the root, and probably produces more forage to the acre than any 
other known plant. It is liked by stock, and is valuable on account of 
both its great bulk and its drought resisting ability. The stalks are 
tender, and there is no 
waste. Cultivate thesame 
as Indian corn; use 3 lbs. 
of seed per acre. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 15 cents;

OTHER SORGHUMS, mare noe 
a MAIZE.—A non- 
saccharine — sorg- 
hum of high value; cultivated like corn. Itisa 
bold, vigorous grower, of deep green color from 
bottom to top, attaining a height of 8 or 10 feet. Some 
stalks develop twenty heads, weighing from 14 pound 
to 1 pound per head. One stalk will make a good, rich 
meal for a horse. The seed is fed to horses, cattle, 
chickens, etc., and also used as a pop corn. It will 
mature its main head in 100 days, and will continue 
growing until frost. Use seed at rate of 4 to5 pounds 
per acre. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 2) cts.; 3 pounds, 65 
ets., postpaid, Peck, 90 cts.; bushel (56 pounds), $3.00. 
JERUSALEM CORN.— This non-saccharine sorg- 
hum is one of the best and surest grain crops for dry 
countries and seasons, and now has a recognized place 
in American agriculture. It grows about 3 feet high 
and makes one large main head and several smaller 
ones, sometimes eight in all. The grain is pure white, 
flat in shape, and a good food for inan or beast. Use 
3 pounds of seed to the acre. 
3 lbs., 65 cts., postpaid. Pk., 90 cts.; bu. (56 1bs.), $3.00. 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN.—A valuable non-sac- 
charine sorghum, producing two to four heads per stalk. 
In the South it will yield a full crop of grain (50 to 60 
bushels) and two crops of fodder, as it shoots up after 
cutting. It withstands drought wonderfully well, and 
sueceeds under conditions where Indian corn would 
fail. Stalk makes excellent fodder and grain splendid 
flour. Use 4 to 5 pounds of seed per acre.
