FARM SEEDS 
Seed Flax 
Flax is one of the best paying grain crops, making good yields on any average soil. It is easy to 
handle and almost certain in its yield. The growing of a crop of Flax leaves the soil in the best of con¬ 
dition to follow with Wheat in the fall. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre; sow as early as possible and 
yet avoid the last killing spring frost. Q,UAIjITY BRAND. Postpaid, pfet. 10c; Ib. 20c; 5 lbs. 55c; 10

Hairy Vetch 
A WONDERFUL FORAGE AND PASTURE PLANT 
Also called "Winter Vetch. This useful plant is noted for its extreme hardiness and is valuable 
for forage and fertilizing purposes. It is an annual, but drops its seeds freely and will come up year 
after year on the same ground. The Department of Agriculture estimates the value of an acre of 
Vetch plowed under equivalent to $16 worth of commercial fertilizer. A sowing made in August or 
September covers the ground before winter, prevents washing during winter and early spring. It can 
also be sown in April and will be ready to cut by the middle of July, the second growth affording ex¬ 
cellent hog pasture during the summer. The yield of forage varies from 10 to 15 tons per acre, equal 
to 3 to 4 when cured as dry hay. Sow in drills, using 30 pounds per acre. Q,UALITY BRAND. Postpaid,

SUDAN GRASS 
A Wonderful Quick-Growing Summer Hay and Pasture Grass 
Refer to Price List in back of Catalogue for Prices in Larger (Quantities 
Sudan Grass requires a fine bed and seeding should be done after the soil has become warm, about corn¬ 
planting time or a little later. When sown in good soil, the result is usually a poor stand or slow growth 
for several weeks, so that in the end no advantage has accrued from the early seeding. In seeding broad¬ 
cast or in rows with a wheat drill, about 20 pounds of seed are required for an acre. In planting for seed, 
it is drilled in rows wide enough apart to allow of cultivation, using 4 pounds per acre. Sudan Grass stools 
wonderfully as many as 100 stalks from one seed have been found and this 
combined with the fact that 2 to 3 crops can be cut from one seeding in a 
season places this wonderful grass ahead of all others. The hay should be 
cut as soon as the grass Is fully headed and early cutting is specially advised 
where more cuttings per season are expected. The grass can be cut with a 
mower the same as other grasses. Sudan Grass stools out thickly after the 
first cutting and make a thicker growth for the second and third cutting than 
for the first. Our stock is absolutely pure and first class in every way. Q,UAL-

SORGHUMS 
N onwarranty 
Because the yield is dependent upon so many things beyond our control, we 
do not guarantee Cane Seed to produce syrup. 
Do not plant Sorghum or Cane Seed until the soil is thoroughly warm. In 
drills for Sorghum, 4 to 5 pounds of seed per acre are required. For hay, 
1*4 to 2 bushels either broadcast or drilled. 
Texas Ribbon 
JAPANESE HONEY DRIP 
Open Head Type. One of the very best varieties for Sorghum purposes. The 
stalks grow to a very large size, both in height and diameter. Ribbon Cane 
has produced the greatest number of gallons of sorghum of any variety ever 
planted in this section. We strongly recommend Ribbon Cane. It also makes 
excellent forage, making big yields and is sweeter than any ordinary variety 
of fodder cane. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; lb. 20c; 2 lbs. 30c; 5 lbs. 60c; 10 lbs. $1.00; 
15 lbs. $1.25. Not prepaid, bu. $2.50. 
Sugar Drip 
This variety not only makes large yields of syrup, but syrup of decidedly 
superior quality to the ordinary variety of sorghum. It is not a difficult mat¬ 
ter to make sorghum, and with a variety like Sugar Drip, we believe that the 
making of sorghum will become very general, not only for home use, but 
also for sale in our local markets. It is also exceedingly adapted for forage, 
making an excellent growth, and is more juicy and succulent than other kinds.

Early Black Amber 
The earliest type of cultivation. Black hulled; stalks tall and slim. Most 
suitable for hay, as it matures very quickly. Makes syrup of excellent quality. 
Not prepaid, bu. 90c. 
Early Orange 
With taller and heavier stalks than Early Amber, 
and fodder. Not prepaid, bu. 90e.

MILLETS 
Seed after the soil is thoroughly warm, using 25 to 40 pounds of seed per 
acre. Millet does best on rich soils, full of humus, or vegetable matter, where 
the seed bed is fine and well prepared. 
German Millet 
German Millet makes a large yielding and most nutritious hay crop, quick 
growing and easily cured. It requires, however, to be seeded thickly and the 
crop should always be cut while in bloom, before the seed hardens in the 
head. It can be sown at any time from the middle of May until the end of 
July. Do not sow too early as it does not grow off well until the soil and 
weather get warm. It matures its crops in about 8 weeks after seeding. Not 
prepaid, bu. $1.25. 
White Wonder Millet 
The most striking feature of White Wonder Millet is the size of the heads. 
The heads of this variety will run from 8 to 12 inches and a single head will 
have as many as 15,000 seeds. The yield of White Wonder Millet is very heavy 
and some growers state that it will outyield other millets three to one. The 
foliage is very heavy and the leaves broad, resembling those of corn. It pro¬ 
duces an immense amount of excellent fodder which cures very rapidly Not 
prepaid, bu. $1.15.
