Sudan Grass 
SUDAN GRASS is an annual plant with fibrous roots like the cultivated Sorghums. Like 
other Sorghums, it does best in a warm climate. In favorable seasons, where the growing period is 
long, one can secure as many as four cuttings. The value of Sudan Grass in Alfalfa producing 
sections will depend largely on its ability to furnish a change of feed without loss of tonnage. 
It has been grown successfully on almost every class of soil, and after a thorough trial, has 
proven its adaptability to California soils and climate. One customer says that after producing a 
full seed crop the plants have grown again and will make excellent forage". 
The seed we are offering was produced in Monterey County, California, where, without irriga- 
tion, it yielded wonderfully, notwithstanding the planting was not made until May 29th. The 
first growth was 8 ft. The second cutting made 3y 2 ft. growth in five weeks. 
SUDAN GRASS HAY is superior to Millet Hay and is said to be equal to Timothy. On account 
of its upright growth, it would be excellent grown in combination with legumes. 
The yield per acre is from 2 to 8 tons, depending on whether irrigation is practised or not. The 
seed should not be planted until the soil has become warm, which is about corn planting time, 
varying somewhat, of course, in the different localities. Two to four pounds of seed will be required 
per acre if seeded in rows 36 to 40 in. apart; 4 to 6 lbs. if seeded 18 to 20 in. apart; 16 lbs. if planted 
broadcast. 
SUDAN GRASS may be cut with a mower, much the same as Millet or other 
Hay Grass. It grows readily and should be cut just after full bloom. From 
seeding to the first cutting, 75 to 80 days are necessary. The second cutting 
comes on about 45 days after the first cutting. The third cutting would possibly 
take a little longer— about 50 days. 
The illustration shown herewith is an actual 
photograph of the field that produced our seed. 
We are offering CREAM HULLED SEED, 
CALIFORNIA GROWN AND SELECTED. 
This is the best seed by far. 
Per lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $40.00. 
ROSELLE 
The fruit or seed pods, which are quite abundant, 
are borne at the axils of the leaves and in the fall, when 
mature, are quite a bright red and almost as large as a 
hazel nut. It is from this fruit that a very superior qual- 
ity of iellv is made, known as Queensland Jelly. Many 
prefer this jelly to that made from the guava or currant. 
The jelly is made in the usual manner by boiling 
the fruit until soft and straining through a cloth. In 
making, only sufficient water should be used to barely 
cover the fruit. To the juice add an equal amount of 
sugar by measure and boil until it jells. 
Sow the seed early in April in rows 5 or 6 feet 
apart and 3 feet apart in the row. Keep well cultivated. 
Or in the cooler sections can be started under glass 
and set out when danger of frost is past. Plant grows 
four to five feet high, upright, with many branches.
