SIBERIAN MIIiIiET. — This p]ant comes 

 from Russia. This is the earliest known 

 JVIillet. Should be sown early and continue 

 sowing at intervals any time during the 

 season when it will afford an abundance 

 of green forage as well as making a fine 

 crop of hay. This Millet has been suc- 

 cessfully grown from the Gulf of Mexico 

 to Manitoba. Siberian Millet belongs to 

 the family of Foxtail Millet. Many grow- 

 ers claim that it is from two to three 

 weeks earlier than Liberty Millet. Half

 Tju., $2.75; 50 lb. bu., S5.00, not prepaid.

FEABL OB CATTAIL MILLET. — Makes 

 a splendid continuous cutting forage plant 

 for either green feed or hay, and is in- 

 creasing in popularity all through the 

 country. It will grow ten to twelve feet 

 high, but cutting can commence when it 

 has attained a height of three to four feet, 

 when it will stool out enormously and 

 make a rapid growth, and it can be cut 

 this way three or four times in a season.

 like wheat or oats. Seed may be sown 

 any time in August and make a crop of 

 hay. By beginning sowing early in the 



season and sowing the first of every month 

 up to September for the Southern States, 

 we can have fine soiling crops all through 

 our hot Summer months. The seed are 

 highly valuable for poultry and for stock 

 of all kinds. One-half bushel per acre.

GUINEA GBASS — 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 lbs. 

 to the acre, planted in hills the same as 

 corn. Sow during Spring and fall. 1 lb., 

 $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, postpaid. 



WHITE KAFFIB COBN. — Grows 4 to 5 

 feet high. The stems are very leafy and 

 keep green and brittle, unlike other sor- 

 ghums, which harden. Makes an excellent 

 fodder, either green or dried. For grain, 

 sow 10 pounds to the acre, in rows 3 feet 

 apart. For fodder, sow from one-half to 

 one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. 

 Very good poultry feed. Sow from March 

 to June. 1 lb., 20c., postpaid; Vz bu., $2.75; 

 50 lb. bu., $5.00, not prepaid. 



BED KAFFIB COBN — Grows taller than 

 the white; stalks slender, juicy and very 

 leafy. The seed is red, smaller than that 

 of the white, and hard and brittle. Ripens 

 earlier than that of the white and yielUs 

 much heavier. Sow 10 lbs. per acre from 

 March to June. 1 lb., 20c., postpaid; Yz 

 bu., $2.75; 50 lb. bu., $5.00, not prepaid. 



FLOWER SEEDS. 



Flower sec^ds require a little more care in sowing than the vegetable seeds. The 

 ground should be well pulverized and light enough not to bake after a rain. 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. 



The seeds are put up in 10c. packages, except where the price is noted. All flower 

 seeds in packages are mailed free of postage to the purchaser. Where there is more 

 than one color, we generally import them mixed, as we find that most of our customers 

 do not wish to purchase six packages or more of one variety to get all colors. One 

 package of Asters, Zinnia, Phlox, Chinese Pink, Stocks, Petunia, Portulaca and others 

 will always contain an equal mixture of the best colors.
