Corn (Continued) 
EARLY CALICO —The grains of Calico are striped red, yel¬ 
low and white and mature fully 10 days earlier than the 
later maturing- Yellow Dent varieties. Ears 10 to 12 
inches in length. Stalks tall and very leafy. Calico Is 
very rich in protein and highly relished by stock. 
BLUE SQUAW —Is extremely early and of very dwarf 
habits. Average length of ears, 7% inches, grain of 
dark purple color and sugary. Better for hogging down 
than the White or Yellow Flint as the grain is not as 
hard. Ready to use in about 70 days. 
COLORADO WHITE DENT —A corn very similar to Colo¬ 
rado Yellow Dent except in color. A White Dent variety 
that has been bred for earliness and will make a better 
yield per acre than the Yellow Dents especially on thin 
soils. 
BLOODY BUTCHER OR NORTHWESTERN DENT (90 
days) —This is an excellent variety of an extra early 
maturing corn. It is a great favorite, and is exten¬ 
sively grown in North and South Dakota. Minnesota, 
northern Wisconsin, Michigan and states of high altitude 
and where seasons are short and frosts early. It is a 
large yielder among the early sorts, always making 
safely in 9 0 days or less time. It has a great tendency 
to resist and withstand unfavorable conditions, such as 
extreme heat, cold,, wet or dry weather. 
Dry Land Grain and Forage 
Seeds 
Ensilage Corn 
CULTURE — For forage 
crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds 
per acre; for grain, 5 to 6 
pounds in rows and cultivate 
same as corn. 
FETERITA — Feterita is the 
earliest and most drought- 
resisting of the grain sor¬ 
ghums. The seed is larger 
than the seed of Kafir or 
Milo and not so hard. 
Should not be planted until 
the weather is warm, as it 
will rot before sprouting if 
the soil is cold and wet. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwarf Black 
Hull) — Usually grows 5 to 6 
feet tall in the dry land 
areas. Heads are heavy and 
compact, 10 to 14 inches 
long with black hulls and 
white seeds. The grain 
makes good feed for poul¬ 
try and cattle. 
FETERITA 
REID’S YELLOW DENT (110 days) —Color deep yellow. 
Leaves and stalks make the finest ensilage or fodder. 
IOWA SILVER MINE (100 days) —Silver Mine is deep 
grained, pure white, rough-topped, with small white 
cob. Ears 9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 2 0 rows of 
pure white kernels. This corn is a drought-resister, 
maturing in hot climates where early droughts are 
frequent. Stalks medium height, very leafy, with broad 
blades. 
RED COB ENSILAGE —A pure white corn with a very 
small red cob; stools like wheat, growing from 6 to 8 
feet tall and often yielding as high as 4 5 tons to the 
acre. It is sweet, tender and juicy, containing more 
nourishment than other ensilage corns. Has short joints, 
an abundance of leaves and of tall growth. Its early 
maturing habits, together with its enormous tonnage, 
make it one of the very best ensilage corns for this 
territory. 
SWEET FODDER CORN —This variety will grow 9 to 10 
feet high and produce a great amount of fodder. It 
will increase the production of milk wonderfully, when 
fed to dairy cows. Stalks are sweet, tender, juicy, and 
nutritious, with large broad leaves produced in great 
abundance.

5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.25. 
Grohoma 
Grohoma 
Grohoma is a drought-resistant plant, stalks growing 
from 414 to 5 % feet tall with grain heads 10 to 18 inches 
long. It is a Sugar Cane with Kafir heads growing on it. 
The stalks are very leafy making an abundance of fodder. 
Grohoma grain and fodder are each rich in protein. 
Recommended for fodder only in northern latitudes. We 
ofTer choice recleaned seed. Postpaid: Lb., 20c; 3 lbs., 
45c; 6 lbs., 75c; 12 lbs., $1.25. Not postpaid: 25 lbs., 
$1.50; 50 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
WHEATLAND MILO —One Of 
the best grain sorghums, 
developed by the Kansas 
Agricultural College. Ex¬ 
tremely dwarf in habit 
making it easy to combine, 
very drought resistant and 
a heavy yielder of excellent 
grain, equal in feeding 
value to corn. 
DWARF YELLOW MILO 
MAIZE — A non-saccharine 
Sorghum of high feeding 
value. This is the plant that 
is being so largely raised 
for its grain in the dry 
plains of eastern Colorado 
and western Kansas. The 
seed is larger than the seed 
of Kafir and not as hard 
and equal to corn in feed¬ 
ing value for stock and 
poultry. 
All prices on the above 
Kafirs, Milos and Feterita: Not 
postpaid: Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 
40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., 
$ 1 . 00 . 
Cane or Sorgo 
WHITE CANE OR COOS SOR¬ 
GO — It resembles amber 
sorghum in appearance of 
stems, leaves, and heads, 
but differs in that the 
heads are not as juicy and 
only slightly sweet. Unlike 
the sweet sorghums, the 
seeds do not contain tannin, 
and hence are good feed for 
stork. The hulls are yellowish white and nearly en¬ 
close the seed. Coos Sorghum matures in from 70 to 90 
days and is therefore well adapted for short seasons 
and late plantings. 
BLACK AMBER--Is the most used. It is only in recent 
years that its real value as a food for livestock has at¬ 
tracted general attention. Its great merit is now be¬ 
ginning to be fully appreciated. It is sweet, tender, 
nutritious, and greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. 
Dairymen find, when fed as ensilage, that cows give 
more and richer milk than from other feed. It can be 
grown successfully in any part of the country. It roots 
deeply; therefore, is one of the best plants to resist 
drought, and is a sure cropper. On acount of its sugar 
contents and rank growth, no fodder crop produces 
so rich and large amount of good feed for so little 
money. 
RED AMBER —This is a comparatively new variety, but is 
rapidly increasing In popularity. It is similar to the 
Black Amber, but is more leafy and is somewhat earlier 
than the black, which makes it more satisfactory for a 
catch crop after others have failed. 
Prices on all varieties of Cane: Not postpaid: Lb., 10c; 
5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.00.
