SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR 
CHINESE SUGAR CANE, OR SORGHO 
Sucre ! ! — Pure Seed ! ! ! 
T he subscribers take great plo "^ure in informing the Planters, 
Fanners and ftardenem of th South, that they have secured 
from the most reliable sources ali. ited supply of FRESH SEED, 
of this very valuable plant, the properties of which may be briefly 
summed up as follows : 
1st. One acre of the stalks, properly cultivated, will yield from 
400 to 500 gallons of fine syncp, equal to the best New Orleans ; and 
from the same roots, a second crop of excellent fodder. 
i?d. Sown broadcast or in close drills, on land deeply plowed 
and highly manured, it will yield from thirty to fifty thousand 
pounds of superior fodder to the acre. 
3d. It surpasses all other plants for soiling (feeding green) and 
fodder, on account of the great abundance of sugary juice which 
it contains ; and is greedily eaten by stock of all kinds. 
4th. It bears repeated cuttings, like Egyptian Millet, growing 
off freely and rapidly, after each cutting. 
5th. It stands drouth much better than common com, retaining 
its greeii color and juiciness even after the seed matures* 
6th. The seed is excellent for human fjod. when ground into 
meal, and fattens domestic animals very speedily. From twenty- 
five to seventy-five bushels can be raised on an aero. 
7th. It is so certain and prolific a crop that planters maybe sure 
of succeeding with it as a Sugar plant anywhere South of Mary- 
land and North of Mexico. If planted early in the Southern States 
the seed will mature and produce another crop the same season. 
The seed, which has been very carefully kept pure, from 
the original importation, w'ill be offered in cloth package.s, each 
containing enough to plant half an acre, in drills, with full 
direction for the cultivation, which is perfectly simple. 
These packages will be forwarded per mail, fkef. of POST- 
AGE, to any address, on receipt of 8t 30 for each package. When 
not sent hy mail, we will furnish the packages at pleach.
