SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR 
CHINESE SUGAR CANE, OR SORGHO 
Sucre ! ! — Pure Seed ! ! ! 
T he subscribers take gj’eat pic sure in informing the Planters, 
Farmers and Gardeners of th3 South, that they have secured 
from the most reliable sources aliu ited supply of FRESH SEED, 
of this very valuable plant, the properties of which may be briefly 
summed up as follow's : 
1st. One acre of the stalks, properly cultivated, will yield from 
400 to 500 gallons of fine syrup, equal to the best New Orleans ; and 
from the same roots, a second crop of excellent fodder. 
2d. 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 sirrpasses all other plants for soiling (feeding green) and 
fodder, on account of the great abundance of suga,ry juice w’hich 
it contains ; and is gi’eedily eaten by stock of all kinds. 
4th. It bears repeated cuttings, like Egyptian ilillet, growing 
<otf freely and rapidly, after each cutting. 
5th. It stands drouth much better than common corn, retaining 
its green color and juiciness even after the seed matures- 
6th. The seed is excellent for human fjod, when ground into 
meal, and fattens domestic anim.als very speedily. From twenty- 
five to seventy-five bushels can be raised on an acre. 
7th. It is so certain and prolific a crop that planters m.ay be 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, will be offered in cloth packages, each 
containing enough to plant half an acre, in drills, with full 
direction for the cultivation, which is perfectly simple. 
These packages vrill be forw-arded per mail, FREE OF POST- 
AGE, to any address, on receipt of $1.30 for each package. When 
not sent by mail, we will furnish the packages at $1 each.
