EGYPTIAN, OR CHINA CORN (Sorghum Vulgare.) 
This is a valuable grain and fodder producing plant, particularly for 
very hot and dry climates. It will make a crop on poorer land and with 
less moisture than any other grain. Tested with Indian Corn or Maize, 
through weeks of dry weather, without rain, the results proved that 
while the Maize dried up and perished, the Egyptian Corn continued to 
grow apparently as well as if no drought prevailed. The grain is small i 
and white, matures in about lOO days, and is useful as food for man, 
animals, and fowls. The yield of grain, usually 75 to 100 bushels per 
acre, has been known to exceed 150 bushels per acre. As a forage crop 
it is excellent, either green or dry, and cattle are exceedingly fond of it. 
It grows 8 to 12 feet high, is very leafy (the Branching variety especially 
so), and maybe cut several times during the growing season. In habit 
it is similar to Broom Corn, and the culture the same. We offer two j 
varieties: I |
