Golden Millet (Northern Grown) 



Millet is a dry weather, summer catch crop, supplementing other early summer maturing 

 crops, and of value to succeed crops that fail. It is the best crop for planting on newly broken 

 land — useful in certain kinds of rotation, excellent for soiling. 



Golden Millet is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a much heavier crop, but is 

 later and not so quick growing. Sow not later than the fourth of July in this latitude. 



Our seed is specially selected, and will produce double the crop obtained from seed not so 

 grown. Sow one bushel per acre. (.See illustration.) Price, $3.75 per bushel of 50 lbs.; 

 10 bushels and upwards, $3.65 per bushel. 



Japanese Millet 



Valuable in the Northern States as a quick-growing forage and ensilage crop, attaining a 

 height in good soil of 6 to 8 feet and yielding from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. For 

 feeding green, it may be cut from day to day as needed until the seed begins to ripen. During 

 this period it is much relished by stock. For dried fodder it should be cut in the blossom stage, 

 and is preferred by horses and cattle to Timothy and Clover hay. For ensilage, two parts of 

 the Millet in combination with one part Soya Bean forage, form a complete balanced ration 

 that may be fed without grain. Sow from May to July, 15 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcast, or 

 if in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Price, 25c. per lb. ; $1.75 per 10 lbs. ; 

 $15.00 per 100 lbs. 



Hungarian Millet 



Hungarian Millet is one of the quickest and earliest catch crops for hay and can be success- 

 fully grown when sown up to the middle of August. It is invaluable for overcoming a short 

 crop of the regular hay. being fairly drought resistant. Sow one bushel per acre. Price, $3 50 

 per bushel (48 lbs.), 10-bushel lots and upwards, $3.40 per bushel. 



Pearl Millet 



This has been cultivated in the Southern States, under the names of African Cane, Egyptian 



Millet. Cattail Millet and Horse Millet. It grows with 

 tropical luxuriance in strong, loamy soil. Is not so 

 hardy as the other varieties, and succeeds best in 

 latitudes south of New York. Sow in drills, 

 5 to 6 lbs. per acre; if broadcast, 8 lbs. per 

 acre. Price, 30c. per lb.; $20.00 per 



Japa 



Henderson's 



nese Buckwheat 



Introduced by Peter Henderson years ago, 

 has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers 

 in this country. It is of strong, branching 

 growth, stands up well and produces from 

 two to four times as much grainas any other 

 variety under same conditions. It is also 

 fully a week earlier. 



Our seed is grown from the largest 

 Japanese type imported by us for stock seed. 

 Sow 1 bushel per acre. (See illustration.) 

 Price, $1.00 pk.: $3.00 bushel of 48 lbs.; 

 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel.

Dwarf Essex 

 Rape 



Rape is usually ready for pasturing 



sheep or cattle within six weeks from 



time of sowing, and one acre will 



carry twelve to fifteen sheep six 



weeks to two months. When on 



the Rape they should at all times 



nave access to salt; but water is 



not necessary. In the North sow 



from May to the end of August for 



fall pasturing, but as it thrives best 



in cool weather, it should not be 



sown in the Southern States until 



September or October for winter 



pasture. In the latitude of New York, 



July or August is the best time to sow. 



Sow 4 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. 



per acre in drills. (See illustration.) 



Price, 25c. per lb. ; $8.00 per bushel of 50 lbs.

Sand or Winter Vetch 



(Vicia Villosa) 



It succeeds and produces good crops on 

 poor, sandy soils, though it is much more 

 vigorous on good land and grows to a height 

 of 4 to 5 feet. It is perfectly hardy, remain- 

 ing green all winter, and should be sown 

 during August and September, mixed with 

 Rye, which serves as a support for the 

 plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley. 



It is the earliest crop for cutting and a full 

 crop can be taken off the land in time for 

 planting spring crops. Being much hardier 

 than Scarlet Clover this is the forage plant 

 to sow in the Northern States, where Scarlet 

 Clover winter-kills, though it is equally 

 valuable in the South. Every dairyman and 

 stock breeder in the United States should 

 have a field of it. (See illustration.) 



Sow 1 bushel per acre, with >.,' bushel of 

 Oats or Barley. Price. 45c. per lb.; 

 $18.00 bushel of 60 lbs. ; $25.00 per 100 lbs. 



Spring Vetch or Tares 



Sow 2 bushels per acre. Species of Pea, 

 grown for soiling, or sown with Oats for 

 feeding green. Price, 25c. per lb. ; 

 $7.00 per bushel of 60 lbs. ; 10 bushel lots 

 at $6.90 per bushel.
