NICHOLSON'S "PURITY 
BRAND" FANCY DOUBLE 
DWARF YELLOW MILO 
This variety retains all the good qualities 
of its parent, the Dwarf Yellow Milo, and 
does not grow quite as tall. Has immense 
heads, and the seeds are large. It is quick 
to mature, and may be planted late in the 
season as a “catch-crop”, and have plenty of 
time to make before frost. When planted 
in the earlv spring it will mature a crop 
early, and after the beads are cut the stalk 
will branch out and produce additional cut¬ 
tings of heads. The compact stalk makes 
harvesting much easier. Extra fancy seed, 
large and bright. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 20 lbs., $1.25. 
Ask for prices on larger quantities.

KAFIR 
It grows from 4 to 6 feet high, making 
straight, upright growth, has a strong stem 
with enormous, wide leaves. The stalks keep 
green and are brittle, making an excellent 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of 
feed. Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 
10 pounds per acre. For fodder, sow one 
bushel per acre broadcast. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs.,

SHROCK KAFIR 
(SAGRAIN) 
Fine for forage and ensilage, as it is 
quite sweet, and grows an abundance of 
broad, long leaves. It is a wonderful grain 
to stool out, not unusual for one seed to 
send up 6 to 10 stalks, each making a fine 
head of large, light brown grains, which 
make excellent stock and poultry feed. Drill 
at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds per acre. Lb.,

seed per acre. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid.

Cretalaria Spectabilis 
Shrock Kafir or Sagrain 
Build Up Your Soil with 
CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
Crotalaria spectabilis has proved itself to be the outstanding summer cover crop. It is a 
legume, adding nitrogen to the soil at the rate of about 800 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. 
A yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per acre is not uncommon with crotalaria. The 
organic materials produced by the decomposition of crotalaria spectabilis are able to attack 
unavailable plant food materials, and make them useful to the crop. 
Crotalaria spectabilis produces more humus and more nitrogen per acre than any other crop. 
This makes it the cheapest cover crop to grow. It has succeeded in the Southern States and as 
far north as Vincennes, Indiana. It is not a host to injurious insects and diseases. It will 
reseed each year and is not a pest. 
Crotalaria spectabilis is used as a summer cover crop and soil builder in groves, orchards, 
vineyards, etc. It is planted in corn and other farm crops at the last cultivation and makes a 
tremendous growth the same season. It will build up the worn out land so common on every 
farm. It has been known to double crop yields following it. As shown by the table Crotalaria 
is about four times as good for soil building as velvet beans. 
Crotalaria spectabilis can be planted as soon as frost damage is passed. It should be planted 
in well prepared soil and can be planted broadcast or in drills. Ten pounds of seed are required 
per acre for broadcast planting and about half that much when drilled. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 
5 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. Nat prepaid, 20 lbs., $4.00. Ask for prices in larger quantities.
