MAY'S CATALOGUE OF NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS, BULBS, PLANTS AND FRUITS. 
A Field of Siberian flillet. 
Valuable for all sections of America. It is the greatest stooler ever in- 
troduced. Six quarts will sow an acre. Nothing since our introduction of 
Bromus Inermis has created such a sensation in the farming sections of 
America as the Siberian Millet. It is, without exception, the heaviest yield- 
ing- millet in the world, giving- several times the yield of any other variety. 
It has been thoroughly tested in all sections of America and Canada, and 
the reports from different parts of this country prove that it will in time 
'take the place of all other varieties. Tests show that as high as eight 
tons of millet have been cut from one acre, and the quality surpasses that 
of any other variety. It does not grow rank or coarse, but the entire stalk 
is of such excellent quality that it is readily eaten. Although there are nu- 
merous blades, they are as .fine as can be, making- it of the greatest value 
to farmers everywhere. The various reports received from drought strick- 
en districts show that it will stand more hot, dry weather than any other 
sort, and it has been known to yield heavily when other varieties failed al- 
most entirely. 
A FEW REASONS WHY THE NEW SIBERIAN MILLET IS THE BEST 
VARIETY EVER INTRODUCED. 
1. No other millet equals it in profusion of blades or quality. 
2. It is extra early, usually about two or three weeks earlier than the 
German or Golden. 
3. It surpasses every other millet in yield. 
4. It makes the best hay, as it produces the greatest profusion of blades, 
and is unequaled in quality, while the yield is something enormous. 
5. It is a Russian variety, consequently very hardy, and possessed of 
unusually vigorous habit. 
We think the above reports will prove that our Siberian Millet is some- 
thing that no farmer in America can afford to be without. The seed costs 
more, but the yield is so enormous that the first cost is very small com- 
pared with the returns. We want to call particular attention to the fact 
that our Seed is Northern Grown, and is consequently hardier and stronger 
in growth than that secured from lower latitudes. Lb. 25c, postpaid; bu.
