MILLET. 



MILLET. 



GERMAN, OR GOLDEN MILLET. 



An improved variety, medium early, 

 growing 3 to 5 feet high. The heads are 

 closely condensed, though the spikes are 

 very numerous. Tliis is the best and 

 most productive millet to grow. Price, 

 Lb., 10c. Fk., 50c. Has. of 50 lbs., $1.50. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET (Panlcum ger- 

 manlcum) — Early and productive, grow- 

 ing 2 to 3 feet high, with an abundance 

 of foliage and slender heads. Price, 

 Lb., 10c. Pk., 50c. Bus. of 48 lbs., $1.50. 



COMMON MILLET. — Weight, per bus., 

 50 pounds. Price, Lb., 5c. Pk., 40c. 

 Bushel of 45 lbs., $1.25. 



IMPORTANT. — It does not pay the 

 farmer to buy cheap Grass Seeds, as it 

 is liable to be either old seed, or full of 

 weeds. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum 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 mountain- 

 ous districts, although it will do well on 

 any good stiff loamy soils, provided 

 moisture is abundant. It does not suc- 

 ceed nearly as well, however, as Or- 

 chard, Tall Meadow Oat or Herd's Grass 

 on soils of a sandy or light loamy tex- 

 ture, and is not of as much value for 

 pasturage as other grasses. The stand 

 of Timothy will also be injured 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 they mature and ripen 

 with timothy. Pound, lOo. Peck, 75c. 

 Bushel of 45 lbs., $2.75. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. 



Thrives most everywhere. The best to sow with lawn grass 

 and valuable to sow with blue grass per permanent pastures.

Grass and Clover 



Seed Mixtures. 



FOR MOWING FOR HAY, 

 BUT CAN BE GRAZED, 



We have in the following mixtures combined grasses suit- 

 able for the various soils for which they are recommended. 



They are composed of grasses which will give an even 

 growth for mowing for hay. We have also combined them 

 so as to give a splendid pasture from early spring until late 

 fall if desired. 



The different mixtures are prepared from seeds of the finest 

 quality, and only those are used best adapted to the soils and 

 situation for which they are intended. 



MIXTURE No. 1. 



For Moist Bottom Land. 



Sow 25 lbs. to the acre. Price, Lb., 20c. 10 lbs, and over, 

 18c. per lb. 



MIXTURE No. 2. 



For Light, Dry, Gravelly or Sandy Soils. 



Sow 35 lbs. to the acre. Price, Lb., 20c. 10 lbs. and over, 

 18c. per lb. 



If any of the above wanted by mail, add 8e. per lb. for postage. 



ORCHARD GRASS. 



(Dactylis glomerata.) 



One of the best and most reliable 

 grasses for the Middle and Southern 

 States, either for hay or pasturage. It 

 succeeds well on nearly all soils, 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 the 

 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 with 

 Red Clover, one and one-half bushels of 

 Orchard and seven pounds of Clover are 

 the quantities usually sown. Br ex- 

 press, 35C. lb. Bus. of 14 lbs., SS.O'o. 



CLOVER 

 SEED. 



ORCHARD GRASS. 



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. 20c. lb. By mail, 30c. lb. 



Ask for prices in large auantities. 



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 other Clovers or grasses, as it forms a thick bot- 

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

 spring, 6 pounds per acre when used alone. 



Lb., 20c. By mail, 30c. 10 lbs., $1.80, by express. 



LUCERNE OR 

 ALFALFA CLOVER. 



One of the most valuable among Clo- 

 vers, resisting drought and remaining 

 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 lbs. to the acre.

LUCERNE. 



FINEST IN THE COUNTRY. 



Last June you sent me four bushels of German Millet, 

 and I now have five acres of it. Everyone says it 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.
