OLDS' MILLETS, SUNFLOWER, SAND VETCH. 
i - 
GERMAN MILLET. 
Most popular of all the millets. A tall growing variety 
with large stout stems, leaves broad and stiff. Seed of 
a yellow or golden color. For seed sow at the rate of 
12 to 15 pounds and for hay sow about 30 to 40 pounds 
per acre. Millet may be sown from May 15th to July 1st. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., 
$3.60; 500 lbs. at $3.50. Grain bags extra at 30c. 
COMMON MILLET. A li ttle earlier in season than 
German Millet. Leaves are rather broad and not as stiff 
as German, and seed heads are smaller. Seed is whito 
instead of yellow. Some farmers prefer it to German. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $3.40; 500 
lbs. at $3.30. Grain bags extra. 
JAPANESE MILLET. (Billion Dollar Grass.) A 
very large millet adapted to all sections. Specially fine for 
low ground. Makes more hay than German Millet and re¬ 
quires less seed per acre. Sow in May or June, 20 to 25 
pounds per acre. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 65c; 100 lbs., $4,00; 500 
lbs. or over at $3.90. Bags extra. 
HOG OR BROOM CORN MILLET. Makes inferior 
hay, unless cut very young, but yields enormous quanti¬ 
ties of large, plump seed, very valuable for poultry. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 50c; 100 lbs., $3.00, 500 
lbs. at $2.90. Bags extra. 
George C. Snyder, a Wisconsin farmer 
writes us: “I sent to you for White Wonder 
Millet last spring. I am sending you a dozen 
heads. The shortest head is 8J4 inches long, 
the longest one 11 inches, 4)4 inches around 
this head. If you beat this, let me know. 
Maybe I can find some larger." 
THE BEST MILLET. 
White Wonder is the best of all 
the millets in our judgment. 
First. It produces more tons of hay 
per acre than any other millet. 
Second. In spite of the very large 
growth the foliage is thick, with nu¬ 
merous broad leaves so that it fur¬ 
nishes a high grade of millet hay. 
Third. White Wonder is earlier 
than either German or Common Mil¬ 
let and is well adapted to the north. 
Fourth. It outyields any other mil¬ 
let as a seed crop. C. L. Newhouse, 
of Rock County, Wisconsin, threshed 
75 bushels per acre. 
We have Wisconsin grown White 
Wonder to offer again this year, seed 
grown right here in Dane County. 
This stock is very fine—clean, plump 
and bright. Many will want it just 
because it is home grown. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 40c; 10 
lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $3.60; 500 lbs. at 
$3.50. Bags extra at 30c. 
(One pound, any variety of millet, 
by mail, 30c; 3 lbs., 60c. By freight: 
Lb., 20c.) 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER. 
A great feed for poultry and 
hogs. Also grown quite largely 
now for silage. Also for sheep 
pasture. It makes a much larger 
amount of feed than ensilage corn. 
Prof. E. J. Delwiche of the Ash¬ 
land Experiment Station, reports 
that sunflower greatly outyielded 
corn for the tenth consecutive sea¬ 
son, yielding 14.4 tons of silage 
per acre, corn only 4.22 tons. 
Prices, by mail: Pkt., 5c; lb., 
40c; 3 lbs., 85c. By freight: Lb., 
30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., 
$1.5?; 100 lbs., $6.50; 500 lbs. 
at $6.25. Bags free.

No. 220, “Sunflowers for Silage.’’) 
SAND VETCH OR WINTER 
VETCH. 
A very valuable leguminous 
plant, especially for lighter soils. 
Can be sown in either spring or 
fall. Sow 15 to 20 pounds of vetch 
and Vi bushel grain per acre, oats 
or barley in the spring, rye in the 
fall. Makes splendid hay, also fine 
fall and winter pasture and it can 
also be pastured in early spring. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 40c; 3 lbs., 
90c. By freight: Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 
$1.00; 10 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., 
$14.00; 500 lbs. at $13.75. 
(Spring Vetch we do not handle because it is not adapted to our territory. It is all right for the south but not 
recommended for sowing in the north. Winter' Vetch, however, can be sown in the spring as stated above.) 
Note—All Field Seed prices are good until February 15th only. Ask for “Weekly Price List after that date.
