MILLETS 



Millets are grown for their food- value for stock. They make almost 

 as much feed as ensilage corn, and of a higher quality. Millet can 

 be sown successfully late in the spring, when other crops have been 

 killed by late frosts. 



JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET. Makes hay of excellent 

 quality, 6 to 8 feet high and twelve to twenty tons to an acre. 

 Sow in May or June, broadcast, ten to twelve pounds to the acre, 

 or drill in eight pounds to the acre. Lb. 30c., 3 lbs. 75c., postpaid; 

 by freight or express, lb. iSc, 10 lbs. Si, bus of 30 lbs. S2, 2 bus. $3.50. 



GERMAN or GOLDEN MILLET. Southern-grown. Superior to 

 western-grown seed, because it yields more and makes finer hay. 

 Sow a bushel to the acre in May or June. Prices vary, but will be 

 about IOC per qt., or S2.50 per bus. of 50 lbs. Write for figures. 



PEARL MILLET, or PENICILLARIA. Few crops exceed Pearl 

 Millet in either heavy yield or quality of hay. Can be cut several 

 times a season. Sow ten pounds to the acre in rows 2 feet apart, 

 with drill. Pkt. loc, lb. 30c., 3 lbs. 75c., postpaid; by express or 

 freight, lb. 15c., 10 lbs. (plants an acre) Si. 10, bus. of 50 lbs. S4.50. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET. The most popular annual Millet. Grows 

 fast and thick, and yields two or three tons of hay an acre. Sow 

 one and one-half bushels to the acre. Prices vary, but about: 

 qt. 10 cts., bus. of 48 lbs. S2. 



Hungarian Siberian Southern German Japanese or 



Millet Millet Millet Barnyard MUlet 



The above is the result of a trial of Millets at my Floracroft trial grounds, 

 all being sown the same day. As will be easily seen, the Southern German 

 Millet is by all odds the best growth. The Siberian was so poor I have with- 

 drawn it from sale. The Japanese made a good growth, but is rather woody. 



Early Amber Suqar Cane. Makes good green fodder 



2 1: stood agamst a fence or 



building till cured. Good poultry-feed. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts.. 

 postpaid; by freight or express, pk. 70 cts., bus. of 56 lbs. $2.50. 



Canada Field Peas. ^^^^^ Peas, planted with oats, make 



__ ! a particularly good hay for dairy 



cows. The Peas should be sown first, in March or early April, by 

 plowing them under about 4 inches, and then the oats should be 

 harrowed in the surface. Price of Canada Field Peas about S3. 50 

 per bushel. Write for special prices. 



I^affir Corn. ^^^^^ pounds of seed to an acre 



' and cultivate like common corn. Pkt. 10 cts.,

■ vate like corn. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts., post- 



paid; by freight or express, qt. 15 cts., pk. 65 cts., bus. S2.25. 

 Teosinte Looks like corn, but the leaves are broader and longer 



1 and the stalks are slimmer. After it is cut it stools 



and will furnish a supply of green feed all summer. Sow in May 

 or June, three pounds of seed to 'an acre, in rows 4 feet apart. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Jllb. 30 cts., lb. Si, postpaid; by freight

SEED POTATOES maine-grown 



Seed Potatoes grown in Maine succeed especially well in the Mid- 

 dle, Southern and Western States, in every case increasing the yields, 

 freeing the crop from disease, and making it more profitable. 



My Potatoes will come packed in barrels, or in i6s-lb. sacks. All 

 orders will be acknowledged promptly, but shipments will not be 

 forwarded till the proper time, unless you especially instruct us to 

 ship on a certain date. To insure hea%'y jnelds and perfect Potatoes, 

 spray with combined arsenate of zinc and bordeaux mixture. The arse- 

 nate of zinc is better than paris green, sticking on better and retain- 

 ing its power longer, and bordeaux will prevent early and late blight. 

 Ten bushels of Potatoes will plant an acre 



Potatoes by Mail. All varieties of Potatoes can be sent by mail, 

 postage prepaid, at 30 cts. per lb., 4 lbs. for $1, correctly labeled 

 and packed to reach the purchaser in good condition.
