Valuable for all Se tions of America. 
It is the Greatest Stooler ever Introduced 
Six Ctuarts will sow an acre. Try it. 
Nothing since our introduction of Bromus Inermis has created such a sensation in the farming sec- 
tions of America as the Siberian Millet. It is. without exception the heaviest yicldinB Millet in the world, 
givinK several times the yield of any other variety. It has been thoroughly tested in all sectiotis of America am? 
Canada, md 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 igh a ight tons of Millet have been cut from one acre, and the quality 
sttrpassss that of any other variety. It does not grow rank or coarse, but the entire stock is of such excellent 
qualitv that it is readilv eaten. AlthouBh there are numerous blades, they are as fine as can be. making it of 
the greatest value to farmers every where. The various reports rceeived from drought-stricken districts show 
that i will stand more hot, dry weather than any other sort, and it has been known to yield heavily when other 
varieties faile aim st en rely. 
A Few Beasons 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 vueeks earlier than the German or Golden. 
8. It surpasses every other Millet in yield. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^, „ ^. 
4. It makes he best Hay, as it produces the greatest profusion of blades, and is unequalled la 
quality, whi e the yield is something enormous. ,, ^ .....^ 
5. It is a Russian variety, c usequently very hardy, and possessed of unusually vigorous habit. 
We think the above reports will prove that our Siberian Millet is something that no farmer In 
America can afford to be without. The seed costs more as it is very scarce at the present time, but tlie yield is 
•o enormous that the first cost is very small, compared with the returtls. 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. Price,8l.35 per bu. : 10 bushels at S1.25 perbu.
