Prices are subject to Market Changes 
BUCKWHEAT—New Japanese—The kei- 
nels are larger than the common kind, the 
straw stouter and heavier, a very heavy 
cropper and less liable to blight than other 
sorts. It makes the finest flour. Sow 1 bushel 
per acre. Per lb., I5c; pk., 60c; bu., $1.75. 
BROOM CORN—Weber’s Improved Ever¬ 
green—Best variety for general cultivation on 
account of color and quality of brush, ripens 
very early, grows about 8 to 10 feet high, 
brush of good length and shows almost no 
red. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Lb., 30c; 
pk., $1.50; bu., $6.00. 
BARLEY—Six Rowed—A stiff straw, heavy 
yielding, six rowed bearded variety. An im- 
provement over the old Manshury in time of 
maturity, has plumper kernel and weighs more 
to the measured bushel. In stiffness of straw 
and rust resistance it is superior to any other 
variety. Two bushels will seed an acre. Per 
pk., 60c; bu., $2.00. 
MILLET—Golden (Tennessee Grown)—In 
the North, Millet is sown altogether for hay, 
and for that purpose the Southern grown is 
the best, it grows taller and finer than the 
Western, making better hay. In good rich soil 
it will make a growth of 4 to 5 feet high. A 
yield of 5 tons of hay is not unusual. Cut be- 
fore the seed hardens as after that the hay 
quality decreases. Will withstand dry weather 
remarkably well. Sow one bushel per acre. 
Per bu., $3.75. 
MILLET—Hungarian — Especially valuable 
on account of the short season required to 
make a crop. It can be sown as late as August 
1st and yields a heavy crop of excellent hay, 
only recommended, however, for sowing on 
low lands or rich soil. Valuable when hay is 
short or to follow some early harvested crops; 
sow one bushel per acre. Per bu., $4.25. 
MILLET—Pearl or Cat Tail (Pencillaria)— 
The best known and most valuable of all 
green forage plants in the South; it is enor¬

cured as dry forage, making a very nutritious 
food. Sow thinly in rows 3 feet apart at the 
rate of 10 tbs. per acre. Lb., 20c; 10 tbs., 
$1.50. 
MILLET—Japanese Barn-yard—Entirely dis¬

cured it makes good hay and in quality is 
superior to corn fodder. Sow in May or 
June. Broadcast 10 to 15 lbs. per acre, or 
in drills 8 lbs. It does best on low, moist 
ground. Japanese Millet is adapted to all sec¬ 
tions of the country. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 
100 lbs., $8.00. 
OATS —Swedish Select—The best early oats,

heavy yielding sorts. Per bu. (32 lbs.),

ured bushel. Per bu. (32 lbs.), $1.40; 10 bu. 
at $1.25 per bu. 
RYE—Spring—Spring Rye is an excellent

$1.75. 
SUGAR CANE—Early Amber—An early 
productive variety, heavy yielder of most 
nutritious matter, can be fed green or cured;

hogs. Sow one peck per acre in drills 3J/^ to 
4 feet apart. Per pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00.
