JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET

 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 ent 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

GERMAN, or GOLDEN MILLET 



(SouUiern Grown) 



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

 both in qualit}' and yield, to western- or northern-grown seed. When 

 jjroperly 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. S2.50.

 sale TheJapi 



Japanese, or 

 Baru-yara Millet 



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

 same day. As will be easily seen, the Southern German Millet is 

 best growth. The Siberian was so poor I have withdrawn it from 

 nese made a good growth, but is rather woody. 



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 vou grow 

 green forage, try E 'st 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 cts., 3 lbs. 

 7.5 cts., by mail, postpaid , by freight or ex- 

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

 $1.10, bus. of 50 lbs. S4.50. 



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 hav per acre. Said to draw heavily upon 

 the fertility of the soil. Sow i5i bushels to 

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

 10 cts., bus. of 48 lbs., about $2. 



KAFFIR CORN 



Hie 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 ctop 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 ram without any loss 

 of capacity or yield. The gram is extremely 

 valuable lor teedmg to poultry and will make 

 a flour that is like wheat flour Cultivated 

 the same as ou: common Indian corn, requir- 

 ing four to fine pounds of seed per acre. Pkt 

 10 cts., lb 25 cts., 3 lbs. 6n cts., by mail, by 

 freight or express, qi 1.5 cts.. pk, 60 cts., bus. 

 of 60 lbs. $2 



Kaffir Com 



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., 

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

 j pk 65 cts , bus. $2 25. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR-CANE 



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

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

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

 paid , by freight or express, pk 70 cts , bus of 56 lbs Sa.jj. 



TEOSINTE {Reana luxurians) 



This gigantic Grammea will turnish a continuous daily supply of 

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

 tlirough the sunrmer. It also nrakes splendid dry fodder, yielding 

 eirormously, and being more nutritious ;ind 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 enornrously after being cut. Sow 

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

 apart. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., %\h. 30 cts., lb. $1, by mail, postpaid; 

 by freight or express, lb. 90 cts., 5 lbs. and over at 85 cts. per lb. 



CANADA FIELD PEAS AND OATS 



These make a fodder and hay which double the production oi 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 <>r early April, 

 two bushels ot peas and one bushel of oats to the acre. The peas 

 should be sown first and plowed under about 4 inches deep ; the oat.=i 

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