Plant Sorghums for Delicious Home-Made Syrup 
These Sorghums can be planted either alone 
w or mixed with cowpeas and soy beans. Plant 
in 3 ]/ 2 - to 4-foot drills, using 8 to 10 pounds per acre, or broad¬ 
cast 50 to 75 pounds for forage. If sown broadcast with peas, use 
25 pounds with 1 bushel of peas. Our seed is remarkably clean and 
of exceptional quality. It pays to plant the best. 
901 Improved Black Amber. Far superior in growth and yielding 
qualities to the original early Amber Sorghum. Not good for 
syrup, but fine for early green feed and silage. If planted early it 
will yield two cuttings a season. Lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 40c; 5 lbs. 75c.

895 It grows tall, with large, open heads, 
and frequently produces 3 to 6 stalks from 
a single root. If cut at the dough state, a 
second cutting may be obtained. When 
grown for grain, the tops are cut, cured in 
a dry place, and threshed like other 
grains. Cattle, horses, hogs, and poultry 
will eat it either whole or ground. Its 
large leafy stalks can also be cut, as they 
make excellent feed. The grain is of high 
feeding value, and will take the place of 
corn. Sow 8 to 10 pounds in drills 3 feet 
apart, or broadcast 25 pounds per acre. 
Matures in 120 to 140 days. It is the 
cheapest and best chicken-feed. Where 
large quantities are grown, the heads 
should be cut and stored for winter feed. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.00. 
For larger quantities, see price-list in back

984 A distinct dwarf variety developed by the Texas 
Experiment Station. Matures earlier and produces heavier 
yields than Kafir corn or Milo. Sometimes produces a crop 
under drought conditions when Milo fails. Valuable for forage 
and fodder. It is a good crop to plant after oats or wheat be¬ 
cause it is quick-maturing and its grain-feed value is nearly as 
high as com. For hog-feed, cut the grain-heads in the 
‘dough,” although the seed is larger and softer than Kafir 
corn. Sow in 3-foot rows, 6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 40c; 5 lbs. 75c. For larger 
quantities, see price-list in back of catalog. 
723 Broom Corn, Scarbrough Dwarf. This t 
ype has less seed 
on it, and is on the upper one-third of the brush, allowing 
cleaner threshing. The bales weigh fully one-third more and 
make the finest parlor brooms. Plant 4 to 6 seeds in hills 30 
to 36 inches inches apart, rows 40 inches apart. This allows 
better air-circulation through the field. Thresh same day as 
pulled and put in drying frames for a week, then bale care¬ 
fully. Lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.50. For larger quantities, 
see price-list in back of catalog.
