CATALOGUE FOR THE SOUTH. 
Egyptian Wheat. 
EGYPTIAN WHEA T.—(Shallu.) This 
Wheat properly belongs to the family of 
non-saccharine sorghums. The great value 
is in the seed, which are most excellent 
food for poultry, and, in fact, for all stock 
on the farm. From fifty to one hundred 
bushels of seed may easily be grown on an 
acre. It should be threshed as wheat or 
other grain. It would prove far more valu- 
able to grind the seed for all stock except 
poultry. As the seed contains 80 per cent 
of the feeding value of corn, as a food for 
stock, it can be made far more valuable 
as a stock food on many farms than our 
common corn. Plant in the Spring and 
early Summer. Sow 20 pounds per acre 
from February to July. 1 I1b., 30c., post- 
paid; % bu., $3.75; 50 Ib. bu., $6.50, not 
prepaid. 
JAPANESE BARN-YARD MILLET, OR 
BILLION DOLLAR GRASS.—Two and 
three crops of hay can be cut from one 
seeding. Grows four to six feet tall, 
stools like wheat or oats. Seed may be 
sown any time in August and make a 
crop of hay. By beginning sowing early in 
March and sowing the first of every month 
up to September for the Southern States, 
75 
we can have fine soiling crops all through 
our hot Summer months. The seeds are 
highly valuable for poultry and for stock 
of all kinds. One-half bushel per acre. 
1 lb., 25c., postpaid; % bu., $3.50; 50 -lb. 
bu., $6.00, not prepaid. 
GUINEA GRASS.—Although this grass 
will do well on rather poor sandy land, it 
does much better on richer or fertilized 
land. Wherever it has proper care the 
crop is enormous. A tropical grass origin- 
ally from Africa, it is now grown largely 
in the East and West Indies. In Jamaica 
it is held next to sugar in value of crop. 
Propagated to any desired extent it is es- 
teemed in Florida and other parts of the 
South as a first-class forage. Cattle eat 
it with avidity, green or dry. Five lIbs—

Teosinte. 
TEOSINTE.—In good _ soil and with 
proper cultivation it will throw up from 
15 to 20 stalks on one plant to a height of 
from 10 to 12 feet, densely covered with 
foliage. In order to be successful with 
Teosinte it should be sown in drills as 
early as the beginning of March, as it 
takes generally from 14 to 20 days before 
the seed germinates. In this manner @ 
good stand may be had at the beginning 
of April. For green fodder Teosinte may 
be cut three or four times during the 
season, but then it should .not be allowed 
to grow any taller than three to four feet. 
In cutting it is advisable to cut it clean 
to the ground, as this will insure a heavier 
growth than when cut too high. Five 
pounds per acre. 1 1b., 75c., postpaid; 5 
lbs., $3.00, not prepaid. 
FLOWER SEEDS. 
PUT UP IN 10c. PACKAGES, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. 
Flower seeds require a little more care in sowing than the vegetable seeds. 
ground should be well pulverized and iight enough not to bake after a rain. 
The 
Some of the. 
more delicate and finer varieties are better sown in boxes or seed pans, where they can 
be handled and protected from hard rains or cold weather; the other kinds do not trans- 
plant well, and are better sown at once where they are to remain.
