SIBERIAN MILLET. 
»IIWf THE NEW 
HEAVY YIELDING 
Valuable for all sections of America. It is the 
greatest stooler ever introduced. Six quarts will 
sow an acre. Try it. Nothingsinceourintroduction 
of Bromus inermis has created such a sensation in 
the farming sections of America as the Siberian 
IMillet. It is, •\\nthout exception, tbe heaviest yii'IdinK iiilllet in 
the world, giving several times the yield of any other variety. It 
has been thoroughly tented in all sections of America and Canada, 
and the reports frotn different parts of this eoimtry 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 ality that it is readily eaten. Although there are numerous blades, they are 
fine as can be, making it of the greatest value to farmers everywhere . The various reports received from drought stricken 
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 almost 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 mil let in yield. . _. . 
4. It makes the best hay, as it produces the greatest profusion of blades, and is unequaled m 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 something that no farmer in America can 
afford to be without. The seed costs more, aa it is very scarce at the present time, but the yield is so enormous that 
the first cost is very small compared 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.

Uerman or UOiaen I IIIIcL. parls of the mrth, south and west as this vanety, and very few forage 
planta can approach it in enormous yield under favorable circumstances. This is a medium early millet, growinK 
from 3 to 5 feet In height and in good seasons has been known to produce over 5 tons of hay to the acre, and 
from 70 to 80 bushels of seed. It will grow in almost any soil or climate.
