Our Tennessee 
Grown German 
MUIet 
We have said considerable in 
the past about the importance of 
Southern grown seed being neces- 
sary for a successful crop of Ger- 
man Millet in the South. We give 
here a reproduction from a pho- 
tograph of a crop fx’om Tennessee 
grown seed. In growing German 
Millet from “cheap” Western 
grown seed — hax'e you ever been 
able to make a crop like this? Is 
it not worth 25 cents or so more 
per bushel to sow seed that will 
make a crop like this? 
German Millet is an important 
and nutritious hay crop, largely 
grown throughout the South, rel- 
ished by horses and cattle. There 
are two necessities for a success- 
ful crop of German Millet — first, 
rich or highly manured ground; 
second. Southern grown seed, that 
from Tennessee being the best. 
Pound, postpaid, 20c.; peck, not 
prepaid, OPc. ; bushel, about $2.25. 
Price subject to market changes. 
The Money 
Saving Crops 
are just about as important as 
any. Be sure and make plenty 
of grain and forage in 1913. 
Snanish Peanuts variety for the central and lower South, where a 
forage and fattening crop is wanted. The Spanish is an early and 
heavy bearer and along the Gulf Coast and in Florida where they can be planted in April, two 
crops a year can be made. In that section the second crop can be planted as late as July loth and 
they will mature before frost. The tops give you hay and the nuts grain. In harvesting, the nuts 
cling fast to the vines and the tops and nuts are fed to the stock together as a hay and grain ration 
The tops make good forage either green or cured. The Spanish peanuts grow in close bush 
form, making it possible to plant them close and cultivate easier than the old “vine” sorts. The 
nuts are smaller, but much sweeter and finer flavored than all the large ones, and are very free 
from the “pops” that are so common in the large varieties. Best recleaned, hand-picked seed 
stock. Pound, 25 cents; 314 pounds, 75 cents; postpaid. Peck, not prepaid, 75 cents; bushel (25 
lbs.) about $2.25. Subject to market changes. Write for quantity prices. 
North Carolina Runnin&f Peanut the past ^o years there has been 
■ ■ an increased planting of the running varie- 
ties of peanuts. Of the several running varieties the best and surest cropper in the central and 
lower South is the “North Carolina.” Nuts somewhat larger than the Spanish, easily grown and 
nuts fill out nicely with very few pops for a running variety. Finest hand-picked seed stock. 
Lb., 25c.; 314 lbs., 75c.; postpaid. Pk., 75c.; bu. (25 lbs.), about $2.25i Write for market prices. 
Mammoth Russian Sunflowai* farm in the south ought to grow Mam- 
mctinmuin Russian 9UnTIOWer moth Russian sunflower for the seed. No farm 
where poultry is raised can afford to be without them. The yield on fairly good land is immense, 
125 bushels per acre being nothing unusual, and as a poultry feed to give rapid growth and fine 
glossy plumage there is nothing that equals it. As an egg-producing food, nothing can be better. 
When we say that a sunflower crop is profitable, we mean crops of the Mammoth Russian, which 
produces three to four times as much seed as the common varieties. 10 cents a packet; 30 cents a 
quart; postpaid. Peck, not prepaid, 75 cents. 
A mammoth for- 
age plant from 
Central America, undoubtedly one 
of the most valuable forage plants 
for the South to be used in a 
green state. The yield is simplv 
enormous and can be cut all 
through the summer and until 
frost. We were assured by the 
late C. A. Bacon, of Ormond, Flor- 
ida, several years ago, that this 
remarkable plant grew at the rate 
of five inches per day on his 
place. Ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 
30 cents; pound, $1.00; postpaid.
