MILLETS. 



Golden or German Millet grows much taller than the Hunga- 

 rian Grass, and produces larger crops. It also requires more time 

 to grow, and a good soil. It makes a very coarse-looking, dry fod- 

 der, which is readily eaten by live stock. (50 pounds to the 

 bushel i. Per bus., §1.20. Five bus. and upwards at §1.10 per bus. 



Hungarian Grass. An annual forage plant of great value. It 

 flourishes during the heat of summer, remaining green when 

 almost all other vegetation is dried up. It is one of the very best 

 plants for green fodder, or for ensilaging, and makes hay of the 

 best quality. Sow broadcast about one bushel of seed per acre, at 

 an%- time from the middle of June till the first of August, (48 pounds 

 to "the bushel). Per bus., §1.20. Five bus. and upwards 1.10 per bus.

CLOVERS. 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover. The crimson clover has become 

 wonderfully popular both as a pasture and hay crop, also as a green 

 manure for plowing in. It can be seeded at an}- time from June to Oc- 

 tober at the rate of 10 to 15 lbs. per acre and makes the earliest pos- 

 sible spring pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and 

 for feeding as hay should be cut when in full bloom. If sown with 

 Italian Rye Grass, which matures at the same time, it yields luxuri- 

 ant and nutritious crops. Per pound, 8 cents (by mail 16 cents).
