Orchard Grass 
This is one of the best grasses. It is valuable both for ha.y and pastnre. It is 
succulent and nourishing and is more leafy and of greater length than most other 
grasses. Orchard Grass grows quickly and bears close cutting and close pasturing. 
It begins its growth early in the Spring and continues right up till late Fall. It will 
last for years without the necessity of re-sowing. May be sown either in the vSpring 
or Fall on any kind of soil that is not actually covered with water. Two bushels are 
required to .sow an acre. We have a fine stock from a good crop. The price of Orchard 
is lower than for some years. It should induce heavy .sowing. Bushel weighs 14 lbs.

Millet Seed 
The Millets are valuable to get a quick growth of grass after a Spring crop, such 
as potatoes, has been grown. It is suitable for both hay and pasture, but should be 
sown thickly and cut before seed ripens to prevent the h.a.y becoming too coarse. It 
is not as desirable for either ha}- or pasture as other gras.ses but it is inexpen.sive to sow 
for emergencies such as may occasionally arise on the farm. We carry four varieties : 
Hungarian. 4S lbs. per bu. A quick growing coarse variety. 
German. 48 lbs. per bu. A finer variety of rapid growth. 
Japanese. ')2 lbs. per bu. Known in the West as " Million Dollar Grass," is 
finer than the other millets and makes finer hay. 
Kiursh. 48 lbs. per bu. A fine red varietj^ of splendid value — coming into favor.

Sorghum 
This plant should receive more attention as a forage crop. It is a rapid grower, 
stands drouth well, makes immense quantities of green feed or fodder. This is greedily 
eaten by hogs and cattle and possesses unusual high feeding value. It may be grown 
anywhere in the United States. 
vSorghum is a vSummer crop. Should be planted a little later than corn, and will 
grow on any land suitable for corn. Like corn. Sorghum is a rank feeder and does be.st 
on rich soils but will do well on thin soils. 
May be sown broadcast or with a seed drill or in rows so as to cultivate. The seed 
bed should receive careful attention, seed must be covered 1 to 2 inches. If planted in 
rows 20 lbs. per acre is sufficient. For broadcasting 1}4 bu. are required. 
Sorghum may be cut when 2 feet tall until nearly ripe. It will sprout freely from 
stubble if cut young. The second crop will grow quicker and heavier than the first. 
A third crop can be grown where seasons are long. On every farm where cattle or hogs 
are fed Sorghum farming may be made profitable. Weighs 60 lbs. per bu. Varieties 
are Early Amber and Early Orange, both of equal value. Prices — vSee Latest List. 
White Kaffir Corn. \'aluable alike for seed or fodder. When grown for 
fodder may be cut two times — each time a growth of 4 to 5 feet will be attained. 
Makes a straight upright growth with wide leaves. If left for seed as much as !)0 bu. 
per acre maybe produced If planted for fodder broadcast 1 bu per acre. If cultivated 
for seed plant S lbs. per acre in rows ;> feet apart. Prices — vSee List.
