STANDARD SEED COMPANY :: KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI 
GERMAN 
MILLET 
I ordered from 
you last year and 
certainly did find 
your seeds exactly 
as recommended. 
They were No. 1 
seed.—Cecil Law¬

MILLETS 
Millets today are occupying a much more important 
place in farm economy than ever. They constitute one 
of the best “catch crops” we have. Can be sown later 
than almost anything else and will give very fair re¬ 
turns under the most adverse conditions. We strongly 
recommend every farmer to include a quantity of Millet 
with his order, so as to have some of the seed on hand 
in case an opportunity offers where it can be used 
profitably. 
SIBERIAN MILLETS 
A very fine variety of millet, also hailing from Russia. 
Unusually early, extremely hardy and withstands 
drought. The plant shows a remarkable stooling habit, 
as many as 30 to 40 stalks frequently grown from one 
seed. 
JAPANESE MILLET 
This is entirely distinct from 
other varieties of millet, both in 
habit of growth and character of 
seed. On account of its great value, 
it has sometimes been called “Bil- 
lion-Dollar Grass.” Will grow 
from 6 to 9 feet high, stands up re¬ 
markably well and yields enor¬ 
mous crops. 
PROSO or HOG MILLET 
The demand for Proso Millet 
seems to be increasing each year. 
It is generally used as a grain crop 
for poultry purposes. It is also 
eaten quite readily by all kinds of 
live stock. We suggest sowing most 
any time after danger of frost is 
over. It requires about 70 da~s to 
mature. Sow about 35 pounds per 
acre. 
GERMAN MILLET 
Under favorable conditions the 
German Millet will undoubtedly 
produce the harvest yield of hay 
per acre. It grows very densely 
and is an excellent cleaning crop. 
VELVET BARLEY 
New Improved Type with 
Silky Beards 
This is one of the heaviest yield¬ 
ing varieties of the smooth beard¬ 
ed type. It is an early type, being 
ready for harvest the latter part of 
June or about the first of July. It 
does well on rich ground and 
stands up under the most adverse 
conditions. As a nurse crop for 
grass and clovers, it is the best of 
all grains.
