SUDAN GRASS MAKES HAY 
EVERY YEAR. 
The drought of the past summer 
gave Sudan Grass a severe test and it 
came out with flying colors. It proved 
conclusively that Sudan Grass is by far 
the surest hay crop for the West and 
Middle West. 
It does well when it gets plenty of 
moisture but it is when a drought strikes 
the country that it shows it's real worth. 
Growers everywhere are enthusiastic 
about it and especially about the crop 
of hay it made for them during the past 
summer when nearly everything else 
burned up. 
Sudan Grass is an annual and like 
Millet must be planted each season. 
It grows very tall, reaching a height of 
seven and eight feet. The stems are 
very small, rarely thicker than a lead 
pencil, and the plants stools wonderfully, 
producing under favorable conditions 
as many as 100 stalks from a single seed. 
Under favorable conditions it will 
make three cuttings and yield up to 
six tons of hay per acre. 
Sudan hay is much relished by horses 
and cattle, and they will leave almost 
any kind of roughage for it, cleaning up 
heads, blades and stalks. 
Sudan Grass is generally planted in 
rows about thirty-six inches apart using 
about four to six pounds per acre, and 
also broadcast, using from 10 to 20 
pounds per acre. It is important that 
the seed should not be planted until 
the soil has become warm, as cold soil 
only delays germination and dwarfs the 
early growth. It can be planted any time during the summer as a catch crop, so long as seventy to eighty 
days intervene before the date of the first expected frost.

CALABASH PIPE GOURD 
A rapid growing climbing annual from South Africa. The very popular Calabash Pipes are made from 
the fruit. When grown to make pipes it is best to let the vines run on the ground like cucumbers. These 
pipes are very light and color nicely . . . Pkt. 10c 
PE TSAI, OR CHINESE CABBAGE ; 
Also called Celery Cabbage. This variety of recent introduction has attained great popularity in Cali- 
fornia, Florida and many sections of the East and South. It is most largely used in salads like celery 
or cut up like cabbage in cold slaw. 
For spring planting seed should go in the ground as early as soil can be worked as it quickly runs to 
seed when hot weather comes on. 
It really does not belong to the cabbage family as we know it in this country and will not assume the 
rather celery like form shown unless the plants are banked up as they grow or the leaves tied 
up over the center to hold it in upright position and at the same time blanching the inner leaves and 
leaf stems. If left to grow loose without banking or tying the leaves will spread out like Cos or Romaine 
lettuce. 
Failure to bank or tie up in this manner has frequently led to disappointment for those growing it 
for the first time. Pkt. 10c: oz. 30c
