TEOSINTE 
AMERICAN TEOSINTE 
A. forage plant that was brought to this country: 
Homo years ago and has lx*cn grown very successfully. 
It resembles corn somewhat, but has a much broader 
leaf and sweeter sap. It is a very rapid growing plant 
after it has attained a height of 5 or 6 inches and 
grows to a height of 11 feet. It succors more than 
any other foliage plant; often producing25 to80 stalks, 
and as many as 75 stalks have boon grown from one* 
kernel of seed. It can be cut when two or three feet 
high, after which it will rapidly grow up and as many 
as four crops have been cut during a season. The 
amount of forage per acre from this plant is something 
immense; In many cases from 250 to 300 tons. It 
should be planted in hills two feet apart each way and 
three pounds is sufficient for one acre.

BEARDLESS BARLEY 
Beardless Barley is cer¬ 
tainly a wonderful varie 
ty and is greatly appre¬ 
ciated and highly recom¬ 
mended by every one who 
has grown it. In harvest¬ 
ing, threshing, etc., it is 
easier and much moredc- 
t sirable to handle than 
common bearded sorts, 
being entirely free from 
those long, harsh, sticky 
beards so vexing and un¬ 
pleasant to contend with. 
This feature alone is of 
vast importance, but 
when we consider that 
this grand, new variety 
will yield many more 
bushels per acre of 
larger, plumper berry of 
a better quality it will 
readily convince every 
one that this variety far 
surpasses any other that 
has ever been offered arid 
in all respects it is cer¬ 
tainly the most valuable 
barley on the market 
There is no better for 
either feeding or market¬ 
ing purposes and in fact, 
it is our claim that there 
is none just as good. We 
have a very choice lot of 
this seed to offer this sea- 
son, and we are in hopes 
that every customer will 
give it a trial.

BRAZILIAN OR STOOLING, 
FLOUR CORN 
This Corn yields four times more corn 
the acre than any common corn, and 
great deal more in shelled corn. It stools 
like wheat, each kernel producing from 4 
to 8 stalks with from 3 to 4 ears on each 
stalk, about 5 to 6 inches in circumference 
and from 9 to 12 inches in length of pure 
white kernels. It is the best variety for 
ensilage. It contains a larger per centage 
of starch than any other com. and when 
ground and bolted by the same process 
wheat, gives a oetter bread and biscuit 
flour than can be made from wheat. It is 
also used largely as roasting ears. Only 
two kernels should be planted to the hill, 
and afterward thinned to one and cultivate 
the same as other corn.
