MILLETS 



JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET 



Valuable new forage plant introduced into this country by Pro- 

 fessor Brooks, of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station. 

 Yields enormously in all sections of the United States — hay and fod- 

 der of excellent quality, growing 6 to 8 ft. in height and yielding 12 

 to 20 tons per acre. Cattle and horses eat it greedily, and it is un- 

 doubtedly a valuable addition to the list of forage plants. Sow in 

 May or June, broadcast, 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, or in drills, 8 lbs. per 

 acre. Lb. 30 cts., 3 lbs. 75 cts., by mail, postpaid ; by freight or ex- 

 press, lb. 15 cts., 10 lbs. $1, bus. of 30 lbs. $2, bag of 2 bus. $3.50. 



GERMAN, or GOLDEN MILLET 



(Southern Grown) 



Southern-grown German or Golden Millet Seed is far superior, 

 both in quality and yield, to western- or northern-grown seed. When 

 properly grown or handled, it makes an enormous yield of nutri- 

 tious feed, succeeding in almost any soil. Sow in May or June, one 

 bushel to the acre. Price varies with the market. Qt. 10 cts., bus. 

 of about 50 lbs. $1.75. 

 Prices variable ; write me for prices when wanted in quantity.

 Millet 



Japanese, or 

 Barn-yard Millet 



PEARL MILLET, or PENCILLARIA 



For several years we have been experimenting with all the known 

 forage plants, and have found nothing superior to Pearl Millet either 

 in enormous growth or quality. It produces most abundantly, 

 and can be cut several times during the season. The United States 

 Agricultural Department has also made numerous experiments, and 

 with about the same results as those at Floracroft. If you grow 

 green forage, try East Indian or Pearl Millet, and you will find there 

 is nothing better. Drill in 2-foot rows, 10 lbs. 

 to the acre. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 30 cfs., 3 lbs. 

 75 cts., by mail, postpaid ; by freight or ex- 

 press, lb. 15 cts., 10 lbs. (plants an acre) 

 $1.10, bus. of 50 lbs. $4.50. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET 



The most popular annual Millet, growing 

 quickly and freely, making a heavy stand 

 upon the land and yielding two or three tons 

 of hay per acre. Said to draw heavily upon 

 the fertility of the soil. Sow 1 14 bushels to 

 the acre in May or June. Price varies. Qt. 

 10 cts., bus. of 48 lbs., about $1 50. 



KAFFIR CORN 



The Great Forage Plant 



Will make a fine crop of foliage if cut in 

 early bloom, and the shoots that then follow 

 will mature a full crop of seed and forage. 

 Both grain and fodder are excellent, the 

 whole stalk tender to the full maturity of 

 seed. There is no failure about it, as it pos- 

 sesses the quality, that all the tribe pos- 

 sesses, of waiting for rain without any loss 

 of capacity or yield. The grain is extremely 

 valuable for feeding to poultry and will make 

 a flour that is like wheat flour Cultivated 

 the same as our common Indian corn, requir- 

 ing four to fine pounds of seed per acre. Pkt 

 10 cts., lb 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts., by mail, by 

 freight or express, qt 15 cts., pk. 60 cts., bus. 

 of 60 lbs. $1.75. 



Kaffir Corn 



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 withdrawn it from 

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



RED AND WHITE MILO MAIZE 



These are popular varieties of soighum, somewhat similar to the 

 Kaffir Corn, valuable for both forage and grain. Four pounds will 

 plant an acre. Cultivation is same as for Kaffir corn. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 lb 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts.. by mail, postpaid; by freight, qt. 15 cts., 

 pk 65 cts., bus. $2. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR-CANE 



Makes a valuable green fodder. Difficult to cure, the best plan 

 being to stand it up against the fence and tie loosely The seed is 

 valuable as food for poultry. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts., by mail, post- 

 paid , by freight or express, pk 70 cts., bus of 56 lbs $2. 25. 



TEOSINTE {Reana luxurians) 



This gigantic Grammea will furnish a continuous daily supply of 

 most nutritious green food for horses and all kinds of cattle all 

 through the summer. It also makes splendid dry fodder, yielding 

 enormously, and being more nutritious and better relished by all 

 stock than corn fodder. In appearance it somewhat resembles Indian 

 corn, but the leaves are much larger and broader, and the stalks 

 contain sweeter sap. It stools out enormously after being cut. Sow 

 in May or June, at the rate of three pounds per acre, in drills 4 feet 

 apart. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Y t \h. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts., by mail, post> 

 paid ; by freight or express, lb. 65 cts., 5 lbs and over at 60 cts. per 

 pound. 



CANADA FIELD PEAS AND OATS 



These make a fodder and hay which doublf the production of milk. 

 The Canada Field Pea. which we sell at about $2 per bushel, is the 

 best for this purpose. They should be sown in March or early April 

 two bushels of peas and one bushel of oats to the acre. The pea;, 

 should be sown first and plowed under about 4 inches deep ; the oats 

 then sown and harrowed in. Write lor price in quantity lots.
