Siberian 
Hungarian Millet 
Earlier than the German but not quite as 
early as Siberian. Very leafy and makes a 
good production of fine quality hay. Stools 
freely. This variety is widely grown. On 
account of its earliness it is especially good 
for northern states but its use is by no 
means confined to that section. In some 
places it is called Hungarian 
Grass. Seed runs mixed col- i 
ors purple and golden. The / 
use of this variety is in- /

PROSp 
Broom Corn Millet 
This variety also goes by the 
name of Russian Wheat but it 
is in reality a Millet. It is not 
as good a hay variety as the 
others. The seed is consider¬ 
ably larger and is grown chiefly 
for seed. This is used in feeds 
of different kinds. Equal to srtiall 
# rains in fattening value for hogs. 
oultiy men have been praising its 
value highly, and they are largely 
responsible for the great interest in 
this crop, in the past few years, 
CHARACTERISTICS 
Proso or Broom Corn Millet is 
one of the earliest maturing varie¬ 
ties, requiring about 65 to 75 days. 
Don’t sow too early. It is partial to 
warm seed bed. Production 55 to 
70 bushels of seed per acre is not 
uncommon. If small grain fails or 
you want a good cash catch crop, 
sow Proso. 
A Forage Crop You Should Know Better 
You have probably heard about Cane most of your life, but do you know what it 
can do for you? It is one of the heaviest producing crops you can grow. Will pro¬ 
duce 30,000 lbs. to 60,000 lbs. of green, feed per acre with some yields as high as 
80,000 lbs. The yields of cured hay 10,000 to 20,000 lbs. per acre with some records 
as high as 30,000 lbs. or 15 tons per acre. Seed production may vary from 30 bushels 
to 50 bushels to the acre with some reporting 60 bushels. Study these figures. Con¬ 
sider what an enormous production that is.

AfnltAw r'anA Th® earliest variety. Grown from Maine to 
4 -aiiiucr v*aiic California. Has slender stalks and narrow 
leaves. Suitable anywhere. We recommend it highly and should be 
selected by all northern customers. .

On account of somewhat heavier yields is a favorite in the corn belt 
where a later cane is used.

Gentlemen; I just harvested 6 acres , of new 
seeding that I seeded with your Alsike, Bed Clover 
and Timothy seed. 1 got 20 tons of nice hay off 
of the 6 acres, a»d I have 6 acre's, more to cut of 
it and it is as good. It is the best seed I ever 
bought. C. C. Glddings.

Gentlemen; I have been getting seed of your

is fine. Have been telling my neighbors and 
friends about your seeds. Below are some of their 
names. Yours very truly,
