ENSILAGE CORN. | 
Red Cob Ensilage. A pure white Corn growing on | 
a red cob. It is sweet, tender, juicy, has short joints |

farmer should grow this sort; it will produce 25 to 30 
tons per acre. Sow 14 to 14 bushels per acre. 
Qt. 15 ets., bu. $1.50. | 
Southern Fodder. Another white variety that every | 
Silo owner or dairy farmer should not overlook. It! 
grows 12 to 16 ft. high, has broad foliage and tender 
stalks. There is no better fodder to keep up the flow 
of milk during hot weather when the grass is burned 
up. It will yield 30 to 40 tons per acre. Sow 13 to} 
13 bushels per acre. Qt. 15 ets., bu. $1.50. |

cattle. Sow broadeast 2 bushels, and drills 3 feet |

KAFFIR CORN. 
One of the best things offered of late years for a forage 
plant. The heads contain small white seeds which make 
an excellent flour. They are greedily eaten by horses and | 
eattle, and make excellent food for poultry either fed in 
the grain or ground and cooked. The foliage and stalks 
make excellent forage.

BRANCHING DHOURA. (Millo Maize.) 
A valuable South American forage plant. It produces 
a large quantity of foliage, as it branches from the joints 
and will thrive even when corn is suffering from drought. 
It can be cut several times during the season, as it 
springs up again freely from the roots. If left to ripen its 
seed it will bear at the rate of 50 bushels per acre. Sow in 
April in rows 4 feet apart and drop 4 or 5-seeds in hills 18 
inches apart in the row. Cultivate same as corn.

WILD RICE, (Zizania Aquatica.) 
The Zizania is valuable as a forage plant on inundated 
lands and along the shores of marshes. Cattle are fond of 
it when green and it makes a good hay. Asan attraction 
for wild fowl it is invaluable. In fish ponds and lakes it 
purifies the water and affords a refuge for the small fry} 
from the large fish and also furnishes them with food from 
the animaleule upon its stalks. The seed should be sown 
in the fall in six inches to six feet of water having a soft | 
mud bottom and where there are but few weeds. It com-| 
mences to sprout in spring as soon as the water gets warm | 
and grows rapidly, ripening late in August and September.

DREERS RELIABLE SEEDS 


Primus Topacco. 
TOBACCO. 
Tobacco will grow in almost any location, but the best 
results are obtained from light, rich soil which will not 
bear a rank growth. The seed-bed should be thoroughly 
made, and the ground well pulverized, before sowing the 
seed, which should be firmly pressed into the soil. Sow 
thinly, in order that the plants may have sufficient room 
to grow stocky. After the plants are sufficiently strong 
transplant to the field where they are to grow. The 
plants should be well cultivated, care being exercised not 
to run too close to the plant and destroy the fibrous roots. 
As tobacco is very sensitive to early and late frosts, it 
should be covered on cold nights with waterproof muslin, 
which will keep off several degrees of frost. The varieties 
we offer are the best and most reliable. Book on Tobacco
