SUDAN GRASS.— A live stock food. 



Grows successfully everywhere. Stock of 

 all kinds eat it readily. Yields more ton- 

 nage per acre than any other forage crop.

 pounds of green fodder per acre; suitable 

 for hay or silage. Planted during August 

 and September, but does better planted in 

 March and April. 10 to 15 pounds per 

 acre. 1 lb., 30c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $2.00; 

 100 lbs., $18.00, not prepaid. Write for 

 quantity prices. 



Sudan G-rass. 



Golden Millet. 



GOZ.DEN MILLET.— Of all the Millets 

 this is one of the favorites. It makes good 

 hay, and produces heavily. Can be sown 

 from April to .June, but the former month 

 is the best time. 15 to 20 pounds to the 

 acre drilled. Should be cut when in bloom. 

 Recommended for this climate. 1 lb., 25c., 

 postpaid; y^ bu., $2.25; 50 lb. bu., $4.00, not 

 prepaid. 



FEABL OB CATTAIL MILLET.— Makes 

 a splendid continuous cutting forage plant 

 for either green feed or haj', 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. 

 Sow 5 pounds of seed per acre in drills 



three feet apart, or sow broadcast Plant- 

 ed from April to July, 30 pounds per acre. 

 1 lb., 30c., postpaid; y^ bu., $6.00; 50 lb. bu., 

 $11.50, not prepaid. 



SIBERIAN MILLET.— This plant comes 

 from Russia. This is the earliest known 

 Millet. Should be sown early and continue 

 sowing at intervals any time during the 

 season from April to end of July when it 

 will afford an abundance of green forage 

 as well as making a fine crop of hay. This 

 Millet has been successfully grown from 

 the Gulf of Mexico to Manitoba. Siberian 

 Millet belongs to the family of Foxtail 

 Millet. Many growers claim that it is from 

 two to three weeks earlier than Golden 

 Millet. Half bushel per acre. 1 lb., 25o., 

 postpaid; y^ bu., $2.75; 50 lb. bu., $5.00, 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, we can 

 have fine soiling crops all through our hot 

 Sum.mer months. The seeds are highly 

 valuable for poultry and for stock of all 

 kinds. One-half bushel per acre. 1 lb., 

 30c., postpaid; y^ bu., $4.25; 50 lb. bu., $8.00, 

 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 rhe 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 pounds 

 to the acre, planted in hills the same as 

 corn. Sow during Spring and Fall. 1 lb„ 

 $1.50; 5 lbs., $6.50, postpaid. Write for 

 quantitv prices. 



EGYPTIAN W H E A 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 

 poultrv. 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 

 on many farms than our common corn. 

 Plant in the Spring and early Summer. 

 Sow 20 pounds per acre from February to 

 July. 1 lb,, 30c., postpaid; y^ bu., $3.25; 50 

 lb. bu.. $6.00, not prepaid. 



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 a 

 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 lb., $1.00, postpaid; 5 

 lbs., $4.50, not prepaid.
