MILLET 



MILLET. 



GERMAN, OR GOLDEX MILLET. 



An improved variety, medium early, 

 growing' 3 to 5 feet high. The heads 

 are closely condensed, though the spikes 

 are very numerous. This is the best 

 and most productive millet to grow. 

 Price. Lb., lOo. Ask for prices in quan- 

 tity. 



HI XGARIAX MILLET (Panicum ger- 

 mnnicuin). — E a r 1 y and productive, 

 growing 2 to 3 feet high, witli an abun- 

 dance of foliage and slender heads. 

 Price, Lb., 10c.

IMPORT.\>T. — It does not pay the 

 farmer to bay cheap Grass Seeds, as it 

 is liable to be either old seed or full of 

 weeds. 



TIMOTHY (Phleuiu pratense). 



This makes one of the most popular, 

 nutritious and salable of hay grasses. 

 It is best adapted for sowing on clay 

 or heavy loams, low lands or in moun- 

 taitnous districts, although it will do 

 well on any good, stiff, loamy soils, 

 provided moisture is abundant. It does 

 not succeed nearly as well, however, 

 as Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat or Herd's 

 Grass on soils of a sandy or light 

 loamy texture, and is not of as much 

 value for pasturage as other grasses. 

 The stand of timothy will also be in- 

 jured if grazed or cut too closely. The 

 yield of hay on good ground is from 

 one and a half to three tons per acre. 

 The best clover to sow with timothy is 

 either the Sapling or Alsike, as thev 

 mature and ripen with timothy. LIj..

ORCHARD GRASS 



(Dactyiis glomcrata.) 



One of the best and most relfable 

 grasses for the Middle and Southern 

 States, either for hay or pasturage. It 

 succeeds well on nearly all soi's, but 

 does best on upland, loamy or moder- 

 ately stiff soils. It starts early in the 

 spring and continues well into winter. 

 It is of quick growth and relished by 

 stock, especially when young, and bears 

 close grazing. It makes excellent hay, 

 and gives the very best results mixed 

 and grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass 

 and Red Clover, as suggested under l[\e 

 head of Tall Meadow Oat Grass. It 

 should be cut when in blossom, as the 

 hay is injured if the seed is allowed to 

 ripen. It can be sown in the spring or 

 fall either with grain or alone. Sow 3 

 bushels per acre if sown alone, or witli 

 Red Clover, one and one-half bushels of 

 Orchard and seven pounds of Clover are 

 the quantities usually sown. By ex- 

 press, 25c. lb. Bus. of 14 lbs.. $2.50. 



CLOVER 

 SEED 



RECLEANED RED CLOVER 



We take great pains to supply an extra quality of Red 

 Clover at a reasonable price. Farmers should not sow a 

 poor quality of Clover Seed. We have, however, cheaper 

 grades for those who wish them. 25c. lb. By mall, 35c. lb. 



Ask for prices in lari^e quantities. 



ALSIKE, OR SWEDISH CLOVER 



Hardiest of all the Clovers, and on rich, moist soils yields 

 an enormous quantity of hay or pasturage. Valuable for 

 sowing with otlier clovers or grasses, as it forms a thick 

 Ijottom and increases the yield of hay. Sow, either fall or 

 spring, 6 pounds per acre when used alone. 



Lb., 25c. By mail, 35c. 



LUCERNE, OR 

 ALFALFA CLOVER 



One of the most valuable among 

 Clovers, resisting drought and remain- 

 ing green when other sorts are dried 

 up. Sow on rich, moist loam or sandy 

 soil. Prepare the land thoroughly and 

 sow, either fall or spring, 20 pounds to 

 the acre.

LUCERNE. 



FINEST IN ,THE COVNTRY. 



Last June you sent me four bushels of German Millet, 

 and I now have five acres of It. Everyone says If is the 

 finest in the country. It Is in a low meadow, and the dry 

 weather does not seem to have any effect upon it. — F. A.
