AMERICAN TEOSINTE 
A forage plant that was brought to this country 
some years ago and has been 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 suckers more than 
any other foliage plant: often producing 25 to30 stalks, 
and as many as 75 stalks have been 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.

TEOSINTE BEARDLESS BARLEY 
Beardless Barley is cer¬ 
tainly a wonderful varie¬ 
ty and is greatly appre- 
> dated and highly recom¬ 
mended by every one who 
has grown it. In harvest¬ 
ing, threshing, etc., it is 
easier and much more de- 
| sirable to handle than 
common bearded sorts, 
being entirely free from 
those long, harsh, sticky 
i beards so vexing and un- 
f pleasant to contend with. 
This feature alone is of 
I vast importance, but 
when we consider that 
this grand, new variety 
1 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 
i Surpasses any other that 
has ever been offered and 
jin all respects it is cer- 
r tainly the most valuable 
barley on the market 
’ There is no better for 
I either feeding or market- 
I ing purposes and in fact, 
it is our claim that there 
Pis none just as good. We 
have a very choice lot of 
f this seed to offer this sea¬ 
son, and we are in hopes 
j that every customer will 
give it a trial

BRAZILIAN OR STOOLINQ 
FLOUR CORN 
This Corn yields four times more corn to 
the acre than any common corn, and a 
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 G 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 percentage 
of starch than any other corn, and when 
ground and bolted by the same process as 
wheat, gives a better 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.
