The World Beating Fodder Plant 



Here is a truly wonderful forage plant worthy of general cultivation. It 

 comes 10 us from the rich, lertile plams of the Nile; wliere, travelers teil u». 

 the enormous yield of 300 tons green fodder per acre is not uncommon. This 

 is what it does in Egypt. \\ hat does it do in America? Almost equally as 

 well. Give it a rich, warm, balmy soil, and it will yield from 100 to 150 tons 

 of green fodder per acre. It is simply marvelous. Down in Georgia, in 

 Florida and North Carolina, its yield is all the way from 100 to 200 tons 

 of green fodder per acre. It grows to a height of 18 feet in those states, 

 while a single kernel will produce from 60 to 100 stalks of the most nourish- 

 ing green fodder imaginable. Our test in the North gives it an average yield 

 of about 50 tons of green fodder per acre. On our Rockford Seed Farms, 

 where the soil is sandy and warm, it yielded at the rate of fully 60 tons per 

 acre, sending forth from 20 to 60 shoots from one kernel of seed. It was the 

 most magnificent thing we had ever seen. About 3 pounds of seed are re- 

 quired per acre. PRICE OF SEED, postpaid, oz. lOc; i lb. 2Sc.; lb. 7;c.

JOHN M. EVANS, R. R. 4. Tippecanoe City, O., writes: — The Po- 

 tatoes bought from you last Spring were fine — one bushel of Ohio made 

 17 bushels and one bushel of Early Rose made 15 bushels. I could sell 

 all I have for seed for big prices.

WILD RICE 



Valuable as an attraction for wild fowls. Sown in large quantities along the edges of ponds, lakes and 

 streams. It can be successfully sown either in the \Yinter or Spring, but often the best results are obtained 

 when sown during the Fall months, generally about the middle of September. It lies dormant all Winter 

 when sown in the Fall, and in the Spring commences to sprout as soon as the weather becomes warm, reach- 

 ing the surface generally the first part of June. It grows very rapidly in one to eight feet of water, ripening 

 late in August or early in September. The bes*- plan Is to sow it broadcast from a boat in 2 or 3 feet of water 

 having a mud bottoin. Its value to the sportsman as a bait for fowl is being realized more each year. The 

 seed of Wild Rice is used for food by the Indians, who parch it. and they preter it to any other cereal food. 

 It is also much esteemed bv the white men who had the opportunity of testing it. Price, postpaid, lb. 40c.
