using from 6 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. 
Grows from 10 to 16 feet high. Texas Crook-

EARLY AMBER. Largely used to sow for 
forage. Furnishes a large yield of most nu¬ 
tritious forage which can be fed either green 
or cured, and will yield two or three cuttings 
a year, stooling out thicker each time it is 
cut. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
ORANGE. A later variety than the Amber

postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 25c; 20 lbs., $4.00.

JAPANESE OR HONEYDRIP. Matures 
in 125 to 168 days. The growth is very tall 
with many joints to the stalk, and neces¬ 
sarily a more vigorous root system, which 
produces a large quantity of Sorghum syrup 
to the acre, for the reason that the tonnage 
production is greater than that of any other 
variety. This is a favorite Cane where Sor¬ 
ghum production only is desired, and when 
the growing spason is sufficiently long to 
mature it. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, lb., 20c: 20 lbs., $3.50. Ask for prices

CANE SEED FOR FORAGE 
The following varieties are the best to use for forage. Sow 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre in drills or 100 to 150 pounds broadcast for hay. 
NICHOLSON'S TESTED MILLET SEED 
For a great many years we have made a specialty of 
Millet seed, recleaning it thoroughly with the latest and 
most improved machinery. Our Purity Brand Fancy Big 
Head German Millet is cultivated, Southern grown and 
is the very finest grade that we can buy. If you grow 
Millet for seed and want to produce large heads, you 
should sow about 5 to 10 pounds per acre in drills, and 
cultivate like a crop of corn. If planted for hay, sow at 
the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, broadcast. Any 
reasonably good land will produce satisfactory crops of 
Millet. Well drained upland is the best. Sow in April, 
May and June. 
NICHOLSON’S PURITY BRAND FANCY BIG GERMAN. This is 
the finest quality of Millet that we handle, and we have an enormous 
demand for it every year; numbers of our customers will plant no 
other kind: it makes the largest heads of any Millet we have ever 
seen grown. If you plant it once you will never plant any other 
kind. It grows very rank and is the best variety for hay or fodder. 
On good rich soil it will make a growth of 4 to 5 feet high, and 
hay is so tender that if cut at the right stage, which is when in 
full bloom, even the hogs will eat the cured hay greedily. A yield 
of five tons per acre is nothing unusual. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, lb., 15c; 20 lbs., $2.75. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
FANCY GERMAN. This is our second best grade of seed. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 15c; 20 lbs., $2.50. Ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
PEARL OR CATTAIL. (Pencillaria). This makes a most nutritious 
and valuable continuous cutting forage plant. It will grow 10 to 12 
feet high, but cutting can be commenced when it has attained a 
height of 3 to 4 feet, when it will stool out enormously and make 
a rapid growth, and it can be cut this way three or four times in a 
season. Sow five pounds of seed per acre in drills three feet apart, 
or sow broadcast at the rate of twenty to thirty pounds per acre. 
Pearl or Cattail Millet should not be planted before May. Lb., 35c; 
2 lbs., 60c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.25. 
HOG OR MANITOBA. This variety grows much larger than the 
common kinds of Millet, and is valuable as poultry and stock food. 
Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 15c; 20 lbs., $2.00. 
Write for prices in larger quantities.
