ENSILAGE SORTS. 
Cuban Giant. 
(See cut.) TJnequaled in 
yield and unsurpassed in 
quality. The grains are pure white and very 
large, „broa.d„.and long, and very showy, and of 
stronger 'Vitality than any variety in cultivation 
- — a very strong point in its favor. The fodder 
grows on the stalks in great quantities and of 
the finest flavor. It '-is" the best milk producer of 
all the field ensilage corns, being almost as sweet 
and tender as sugar corn. It will outyield the 
Red Cob Ensilage Corn, and is more valuable be- 
cause it is earlier. L,b. 25c, 3 ll>s. 70c, postpaid;

Great Brazilian Flour Corn. JgJ 
One off ttoe greatest novelties ever introduced. 
Driginated in Brazil, where it constitutes the prin- 
cipal food of the inhabitants. It is truly a mar- 
velous plant. For more than 6 years our seed was always exhausted before the 
season ended, so great was the demand. Tt'ou are sure to like it. It grows 8 
feet high, and from a kernel sends enough stools to produce 100 ears. Its 
strong points are: 1 — Twenty-five barrels of flour can be grown from 1 acre, 
and this flour is of as fine a grade as is made of Dakota hard wheat, which is 
five times as much as wheat produces per acre. 2 — The bread and biscuits 
baked therefrom are fully as palatable as from any flour known. 3 — When 
boiled in a green state it has no superior among Sweet Corn, while its yield is 
thrice that of Sweet Corn. 4 — Matures in all latitudes where corn ripens. 5 — 
Cultivate as you would corn, allowing 2 kernels to a hill. 6 — On our own 
grounds it yielded at the rate of 100 tons per acre of green fodder, of the most 
delicious sweet, tender, juicy, nutritious food we have ever seen. Indeed, it 
seems as though this will soon rank as the greatest fodder-producing plant in 
the world. 7 — It makes flour in quality equal to wheat. Of course it is not so 
White, but oh, what delicious cakes and rolls and biscuits! 
Can be ground on a Family Grist Mill.

SUGAR CORN FOR SWEET FODDER. 
Cuban Giant Ensilage. 
For years we have been offering fodder corn to the farmers of the 
Northwest, but it took just such a season as that of 1900 to fully show 
them its great value. When other crops had failed, and they were won- 
lering what they should do for feed, many planted fodder corn, because 
it was too late to put in anything else. Now every farmer or dairyman 
will put in a few acres of fodder corn because they have found it one of 
the most profitable crops to grow. 
For cutting in the green state for cattle or other live stock sweet corn 
Is superior to any of the ordinary field corn. Under this head we offer 
and dispose of unselected stock we may happen to have of early sweet 
varieties, such as Cory, Early Minnesota, Crosby's, etc. This makes fine 
fodder and will mature ears , in almost any part of the Northwest. From 
iy 2 to 2 bushels of fodder corn are required to the acre, according to how 
the seed is planted. It may be planted in hills the same as other field 
^orn, drilled, or sown broadcast. The best fodder is that which makes 
the greatest amount of leaves and has the greatest amount of nourish- 
ment at the same time. With this object in view we quote only the one 
kind — the best. Pk. 75c, bu. $2.75, bag (2y 2 bu.) S6.50. 
Tpncinf"** ^ ee cut -) (Reana Luxiurians.) A wonderfully prolific 
ICUSlllLCi forage plant which somewhat resembles corn, but the 
leaves are broader and the stalk contains a large amount of saccharine 
matter. Its value lies in the fact that it can be cut several times during 
the season, and when allowed to remain without being cut attains a 
height of 12 feet. Our experience shows that it is particularly adapted to 
the Middle or Southern States. Seeds should be sown after the ground is 
perfectly warm and the weather settled, at the rate of about 4 pounds per 
acre. The best plan is to plant in drills, 3 feet apart, putting in 3 seeds 
about every 12 inches in the drill. % lb. 35e, lb. 00c, postpaid; 5 lb. lots,

Branching Yellow Milo 
' Mai^p (See cut.) Grows 
ITldllC. from 9 to 12 feet 
high, stooling from 
i the ground, sending 
out shoots from the 
joints. Seed heads 
grow to great size, 
often weighing % 
of a pound, some- 
times a full pound 
after ripe. Being al- 
lied to sugar cane, 
cattle, horses and 
hogs will eat it read- 
ily. Tests show that 
during the severe 
drought corn- dried 
up within a few feet 
of it; the Branching 
Milo suffered but 
little. Three to five 
pounds will plant an 
acre. Lto. 25c, post-
