O ur Tennessee Grown German Millet 
We have said considerable in the 
past about the importance of South¬ 
ern grown seed being necessary for a 
successful crop of German Millet in 
the South. We give here a reproduc 
tion from a photograph of a crop 
from Tennessee grown seed. In 
growing German Millet from 
‘ cheap” Western grown seed—have 
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 theSouth, relished 
by horses and cattle. There are two 
necessities for a successful crop of 
German Millet —first, rich or highly 
manured ground; second. Southern 
grown seed, that from Tennessee be¬ 
ing the best. Avoid the Western 
grown, which is usually sold for 15 to 
25 cents per bushel less than the 
Southern. While in a very wetseason 
it makes a fair crop, yet in ordinary 
seasons it begins to head when 6 to 8 
inches high, making it worthless. 
Pound, postpaid, ‘20 ots.; peck, not 
prepaid, 65 ots.; bushel, about $2.25. 
Price subject to market changes. 
Teosinte 
A mammoth forage 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 simply enormous and 
can be cut all through the summer 
and until frost. We were assured by 
the late C. A. Bacon, of Ormond, 
Florida, several years ago, that this 
remarkable plant grew at the rate of 
five inches per day on his place. 
Plant in hills, like corn, after danger 
from frost is past. Seed is hard and 
germinates slowly, but grows ripidly 
after starting. Ounce. 10 cents; 
pound, 30 cents: pound. $1.0(): 
postpaid.

Chufas or Ground Almonds 
Chufas or Ground Almonds hoiSs -H-ith. A Species of ground nut that 
ought to be on every Southern farm for fattening hogs and poultry. The nuts grow under ground, but 
near the surface, as shown in our illustration, and are easily harvested by hogs and chickens. Plant 
in April and May in three-foot rows,dropiung 3 Chufas every 10 to 1-2 inches. Give level cul.ure and 
they mature In September and will lie in the ground until wanted. Packet, 10 cents; pound. ?5 cents;

Mammoth Russian Sunflower Mammoth Russian Sunfiowers for the 
seed. No farm where poultry is raised can afford to be without them. The yield on fairly gond land 
is immense, 125 bushels per acre being nothing tuiusual, 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 pro¬ 
duces three to four times as m;ieh seed as the common varieties. 10 cents a packet; 30 cents a quart; 
postpaid. Peck, not prepaid, 75 cents.
