SPECIAL ATTENTION 
NON-WARRANTY—Owing to the peculiar hybridization of syrup cane varieties, it is 
impossible to guarantee any of the varieties here listed. We have selected all the syrup cane 
varieties on our list with best possible care, but at the same time do not guarantee that 
they will come true. 
All orders for syrup cane varieties are therefore accepted only on these conditions.

Cane Seed, Saccharine Types for Forage 
1195—Cane (Texas Seeded Ribbon Type)—This cane gets its name from being a 
variety that closely resembles the true Ribbon Cane raised from cuttings. We rec¬ 
ommend this cane for silage, and we do not recommend it for syrup making. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75 
1198—CANE (Early Amber Type)—The earliest type in cultivation. Stalks tall and 
I slim. Most suitable for hay, as it matures very quickly. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75 
1197—CANE (Early Orange Type)—Largely used for hay and fodder. It is taller 
and has heavier stalks than the Early Amber. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75 
1199—CANE (Red Top Type)—Later, larger growth and better drouth resister than 
Amber and Orange. Growing in favor in the Southeast. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.75 
Cane Seed, Non-Saccharine Types for Forage 
1212—CANE (Sagrain Type)—It does well on all heavy types of soil; thrives under 
the same adverse conditions as sorghum, and produces six to seven tons per acre, 
one to two tons of which is grain. The grain is similar to that of the Kaffirs, which 
means it has nine-tenths the feeding value of corn. Sagrain can be fed to mules, 
cows, hogs and other animals and is relished by all. 
Sagrain should be planted on well-prepared seed beds in 3 to 3V4 foot rows, 
8 to 10 seeds per hill every 10 to 12 inches. A blank corn plate with % inch holes, 
properly spaced, will do the work. One bushel will plant 6 to 8 acres, and the Sagrain 
should be thinned 3 to 5 stalks per hill. It matures in 70 to 75 days. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.90 
1217—CANE (Grohoma Type)—Wonderful claims have been made for this new 
Grain Sorghum. Grows 4 V 2 to 5 feet high. The first grain Crop (the spike-heads) 
matures in about 90 days. Harvest and let branch heads mature, then cut stalks 
intact for bundle or silage feed. Grain-heads are 10 to 18 inches long and yield over 
100 bushels per acre. Rule is to plant two 3-foot rows and skip one, thinning to 
1 foot apart in row. After harvesting main grain crop, plant open rows to some 
cover crop. Cultivate same as cotton or corn. Five pounds plant an acre. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs.. $1.75 
1216—CANE (Egyptian Wheat Type)—If it is used for fodder purposes it may be cut 
about three times a year, yielding in the three cuttings from 5 to 7 tons per acre. 
Grows 6 to 8 feet high. Plant from January until July, depending upon your local¬ 
ity. We recommend sowing 10 pounds to the acre in rows 3 Y 2 to 4 feet apart. Sow 
broadcast at the rate of 25 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.85; 15 lbs., $2.35 
1210—CANE (White Kaffir Type), and 1211—CANE (Red Kaffir Type)—These two 
varieties become more valuable every year because of their drouth-resisting quali¬ 
ties. Grow 4 to 5 feet high, are very stocky and leafy; valuable alike for forage and 
grain. Plant from March to July, in rows 3 feet apart, drilling seed thinly like 
sorghum. If wanted for grain principally, let heads mature on the stalk and then 
the whole stalk may be cut for fodder after the seed heads have been cut. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 15 lbs., $1.65 
1213—CANE (Yellow Milo Maize Type)—This makes a thick, succulent growth of 
forage, very nutritious and of splendid milk-producing qualities; and, like sorghum, 
can be cut over two or three times where it is desired to cut for green forage. 
Makes excellent ensilage. Can be cured same as other sorghums. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 15 lbs., $1.65 
1214—CANE—(Feterita Type)—A non-saccharine cane, a new forage crop for the 
South. Similar to Kaffir Corn in general habit, but grows a little taller and pro¬ 
duces larger heads, standing erect, white seed and early maturity. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.90 
1215—HEGARI—It makes an enormous yield of grain in most sections of the South 
and is more desirable for forage or silage than either Kaffir or Feterita. It is dwarf 
in habit of growth, producing large heads of white grains that do not shatter. Plant 
8 to 10 pounds per acre. It is getting to be the most popular non-saccharine Sor¬ 
ghum grown. Stands dry weather well. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 15 lbs., $1.65 
Kaffir Corn 
PEANUTS 
CULTURE—Plant the shelled nut in May or early 
in June, dropping the nuts 8 to 10 inches apart in 
2% to 3 foot rows and cover 1 to 2 inches deep. 
Cultivate thoroughly until the nuts begin to form. 
When harvesting, loosen the roots with a plow, 
pull the vines with the nuts attached, allow them to 
dry, stack around a stake, turning the nuts inward. 
1177— PEANUTS (Spanish Type)—They can be 
grown closer than most varieties, are more 
easily cultivated and gathered, as the nuts, 
which are clustered around the base of the 
plant, cling firmly to the roots. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.90 
1178— PEANUTS (Tenn. Red Running Type)— 
The finest large variety grown; similar to 
Spanish Peanuts, but the pods are much 
larger and longer, well adapted to all soils. 
The pods usually contain from three to four 
nuts, which are very rich and highly flavored. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.95 
1179— PEANUTS (Mammoth White) —Large 
size pods; best variety for commercial use. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs.. $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.75; 15 lbs., $2.10 
1180— PEANUTS (Valencia Type)—Fills the 
demand for a peanut that is larger and con¬ 
taining more nuts than the common varie¬ 
ties. It is splendidly adapted for growing on 
the light sandy soils of the South Atlantic 
Seaboard, where it has yielded uniformly 
satisfactory crops. The pods are large, well 
filled, usually containing three or four nuts. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 15 lbs., $1.90
