KNOX'S SELECTED FIELD CORN 
EARLY MATURING—HEAVY YIELDING 
" . • ' s: ■ •!*? • 
Proper selection of Seed Corn is a matter of working year after year, planting good seed in the beginning, watch¬ 
ing the particular stalks which grow best and which set enough ears the proper -distances from the grorind, and then 
cutting the tassels from all other stalks in* the field. The seed ears must be selected on the stalk, and ripened and 
dried under correct conditions. The grains must be shelled and stored and graded so they will be even in size, and their 
vitality maintained unimpaired. Finally, the seed must be tested for germination. We have picked growers who give 
their Corn crops the attention necessary to produce first-class seed. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE a I 
Eureka Ensilage corn is without a doubt the heaviest yielding en¬ 
silage corn adapted to California climatic conditions. It grows to an 
average height of 14 feet, has very leafy stocks bearing one to three 
ears to the stock, and has established a record of an average production 
of 30 to 35 tons per acre. This when cut and put ih the silo furnishes a 
feed that is very succulent and of the highest feeding value, and is rel¬ 
ished by all kinds of stock. 
Our seed stock of Eureka Ensilage Corn for this season is of excep¬ 
tionally fine quality and selected for size uniformity for both ear arid 
kernel. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. Write for quantity prices. 
ORANGE COUNTY PROLIFIC 
Orange County Prolific is a California product of the white dent va¬ 
riety. It is also an exceptionally heavy yielder and highly recommended 
for ensilage purposes. We consider it’next on the list following Eureka 
Ensilage Corn. What we have said regarding the selection of our seed 
stock for Eureka Corn also, applies to this variety. 
Price per lb., 15c; 10 lbs.,'$1.00. 
Write for quantity prices. 
MEXICAN JUNE CORN—WHITE 
OR PRIDE OF MODESTO 
Very early and hardy, stalks growing to an average height of 7 or 8 
feet and producing 30 to 60 bushels of corn per acre. This corn is also 
used for roasting purposes in many sections of California. 
1 lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00 
KING PHILIP-YELLOW 
This is a hard yellow flint corn and is generally referred to as 90-day 
corn, it is drought-resisting and will give a fair yield where'most corns 
are a failure. 1 lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
Plant 8 to 10 pounds per acre in hills for shelled corn or for silo. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 
In the upland sections requiring a corn that will mature in about 
115 days, Reid’s Yellow’ Dent has made a weil-deserved reputation be¬ 
cause of its large yields and superior type of ear. It is a big yielder on 
good loam and heavy land, making ears that average 9 to 10 inches long 
with 18 to 24 row r s to the ear, and well filled out at butt and tip. It is 
a true dent corn, the grains are medium narrow 7 , wedge-shaped, and the 
rows are so close that there is practically no waste space between the 
rows. The cob is small for the size of the ear; makes one or tw r o ears 
to the stalk. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
IMPROVED TEAMING 
Learning is known the country over as a big yielding, early maturing 
yellow 7 corn, making generally two big ears to the stalk with rarely a 
barren stalk. It does well on all soils, but prefers light to medium soils. 
The grain is wedge-shaped and covers the entire cob. The ears average 
about 10 inches long, with 18 to 20 rows to the ear. The color is a deep, 
reddish yellow. Matures in about 100 days. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
HICKORY KING 
The grain is so wide and deep and the cob so small that often a sin¬ 
gle grain will cover the end of a broken cob. It has been called Poor 
Man’s Corn, because it can be depended upon to produce a crop on poor, 
thin land; on good land it bears two ears to the stalk. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 
$ 1 . 00 . 
IMPROVED WHITE DENT 
OR STANISLAUS WHITE DENT 
Improved White Dent has been the reliable old stand-by with south¬ 
ern corn growers, and its merits are generally recognized. It makes a 
single ear to the stalk, but they are long and heavy; the grains are quite 
wide, deep and firmly set on a medium-sized cob,’ The stalk is tall and 
carries a good growth of fodder. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
MISCELLANEOUS 
- ' 
MILLET: German—Few other grasses or forage plants have beep . 
able to produce the enormous yield, .of this plant. It has produced 4 to o 
tons of hay to the acre, and from 70 to 80 bushels of seed. It can be 
sown on newly broken ground in the spring, and as late as July. Leaves 
the ground in excellent condition for, following crops. Plant 30 lbs. per 
acre. Price per lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
MILLET: Proso. (Hog Millet or Broom Corn Millet)—Grown very 
extensively in Europe and Eastern Asia for food purposes. In America 
it is very commonly used for poultry food. The culture is the same as 
for the German Miilet. Sow 70 lbs. to 80 lbs. to the acre. Price per lb., 
15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
RAPE: Dwarf Essex—The crop is very highly recommended for 
pasturage for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutritious 
pasturage within six or eight weeks from the time of sowing. It % also 
makes splendid green feed for poultry. Plant 10 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 
15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
SUNFLOWER: Mammoth Russian—Makes heads dou¬ 
ble the size of the common kind. The yield is enormous 
from this variety. It has produced as high as 125 bushels 
to the acre. Plant 10 lb$. per acre. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00. 
WHIP-POOR-WILL COW PEA 
For many years the Whip-Poor-Will has been the 
standard summer crop for green manuring not only here 
but throughout the South. 
(1) It will grow on practically all kinds of soils, wheth¬ 
er sandy or clay, poor or fertile.’ 
(2) It is of the easiest culture. 
(3) It has a big, strong, deep-root system, well sup¬ 
plied with large nitrogen gathering nodules. 
(4) It revels in summer heat, and is extremely drought- 
resistant. 
(5) It grow 7 s very rapidly, shading the soil from exces¬ 
sive heat, and leaving no room for noxious weeds. 
. (6) It greatly benefits the succeeding crop by accumu¬ 
lation of. nitrogen in the soil. 
(7) "It leaves the soil in fine physical condition for the 
fall planting of grain or other winter crop. 
(8) It produces-an abundance of highly nutritious pods 
and leaves in a few months. 
(9) It may be made into hay or ensilage, or pastured; 
the seeds may be used for stock feed or human consump¬ 
tion. 
Plant 40 lbs! per acre any time from April 1 until Sep¬ 
tember 1. Per lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50. Write for quantity

BRABHAM COW PEA 
It has only recently been determined definitely that 
the Brabham is resistant to nematode. This discovery 
places the Brabham foremost as a desirable summer crop 
for green manuring. Few districts are free from nematode 
and while other crops nurse it, thus spreading it over- 
wider territory, the Brabham will discourage its develop¬ 
ment, and if repeatedly planted may eradicate it from the 
field in which the- Brabham is grown. 
Under tire light of the discovery that the Brabham pea 
is resistant to the nematode, to plant it would seem the 
wiser thing to do. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 20c; 10 
lbs., $1.50. "Write for quantity price.

THE NEW PASTURE CROP 
Probably you have been hearing or reading a lot lately 
about Ladino Clover. Although it is a comparatively new 
arrival on the Pacific slope, it is already very popular as 
a dairy pasture crop, particularly in California and Oregpn. 
ADVANTAGES OF LADINO CLOVER 
Ladino Clover is an ideal dairy pasture crop just as 
alfalfa is an ideal dairy hay crop. It will grow very satis¬ 
factorily on land that is not good for alfalfa. By that I 
mean it is an ideal crop to raise on shallow soil, on soil 
where there is a high water level or where alkali is 
present. 
It continues to flourish even when pastured at the 
rate of four cows per acre during the growing season. 
Very glowing reports have come in from various sections 
telling how Ladino has turned unprofitable fields into 
highly productive grazing pastures. 
THE PLANT 
The Ladino Clover plant is very similar iri appearance 
to ordinary White Dutch clover, but it grows more rapidly 
and becomes much larger. Its roots are comparatively 
shallow. They branch at the crown, just above the ground, 
and send out runners in all directions for three or four 
feet. These runners branch and take root, every few 
inches, at the nodes. 
The stems, which lie close to the ground, are held by 
the many roots and will not be pulled off or eaten by 
stock while pasturing. The ends of the stems, which grow 
as high as two feet, are not injured by pasturing or 
cutting. 
WHEN TO PLANT LADINO 
Seemingly the best months for seeding Ladino are Au¬ 
gust, September, October, November, February, March, 
April and May. Land should be prepared the same as for 
alfalfa seed. Deep plowing is not necessary. If the land 
has been in beans or any other cultivated crop, it may be 
simply disced and harrowed, so that a shallow seed bed 
will be made. You need sow only four to six pounds of 
seed to the acre. This makes Ladino a very economical 
crop to plant. 
IRRIGATING LADINO 
Although Ladino is not a particularly dry or “thirsty” 
plant, but is rather a hardy “rustler” capable of standing 
the hardest pasturage, it is necessary to keep the soil 
moist in order to get a satisfactory stand. This is especial¬ 
ly true in soil eontairiing alkali, which must be kept well 
watered. 
SUGGESTED GRASS MIXTURE WITH LADINO 
A number of- dairymen have reported very good results 
from planting Ladino with other grass seeds. Such a mix¬ 
ture reduces the possibility of bloating. They have found 
the following mixture very satisfactory: 
Ladino Clover .3 lbs. 
English Rye ....,.6 lbs. 
Orchard Grass ...1 lb. 
Meadow Fescue.... .... .2 lbs. 
THE VALUE OF GOOD SEED 
Ladino Clover seed so closely resembles that of or¬ 
dinary white Dutch clover that it is impossible even for
