THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO 
DENVER, COLO 
Corn— (Continued) 
COLORADO No. 13— This is a selection from Minne¬ 
sota No. 13, developed by the Colorado Pure Seed 
Growers Association. Recommended especially for 
earliness and high yielding qualities. 
EARLY CALICO —The grains of Calico are striped 
red, yellow and white and mature fully 10 days 
earlier than the later maturing Yellow Dent va¬ 
rieties. Ears 10 to 12 inches in length. Stalks 
tall and very leafy. Calico is very rich in protein 
and highly relished by stock. 
BLUE SQUAW —Is extremely early and of very 
dwarf habits. Average length of ears 7% inches, 
grain of dark purple color and sugary. Better for 
hogging down than the White or Yellow Flint as 
the grain is not as hard. Ready to use in about 
70 days. 
COLORADO WHITE DENT —A corn very similar to 
Colorado Yellow Dent except in color. A White 
Dent variety 'that has been bred for earliness and 
will make a better yield per acre than the Yellow 
Dents, especially on thin soils. 
FALCONER —Every year this wonderful semi-dent 
proves more and more its very great value to the 
Northwest. It is earlier than any of the dents, 
and heavier, being a descendant from the original 
native Indian Corn, and it has consistently out- 
yielded all other sorts year in and year out. It 
will grow and develop in cold weather when other 
more tender sorts stand still. The color is a 
somewhat uneven yellow, rows eight to twelve, 
and ears large. It grows tall enough on the stalk 
to be handled with a corn binder. Our seed was 
grown at an altitude of over 6000 ft. and is well 
adapted to Northern sections. 
Ensilage Corn 
REID’S YELLOW DENT (110 days)—Color deep yel¬ 
low. Leaves and stalks make the finest ensilage 
or fodder. 
IOWA SILVER MINE (100 days)—Silver Mine is 
deep grained, pure white, rough-topped, with small 
white cob. Ears 9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 
20 rows of pure white kernels. This corn is- a 
drought-resister, maturing in hot climates where 
early droughts are frequent. Stalks medium 
height, very leafy, with broad blades. 
RED COB ENSILAGE —A pure white corn with a 
very small red cob; stools like wheat, growing 
from 6 to 8 feet tall and often yielding as high as 
45 tons to the acre. It is sweet, tender and juicy, 
containing more nourishment than other ensilage 
corns. Has short joints, an abundance of leaves 
and of tall growth. Its early maturing habits, 
together with its enormous tonnage, make it one 
of the very best ensilage corns for this territory. 
Prices on all varieties of Corn: Not Postpaid: Lb.,

Grohoma 
Grohoma 
Grohoma is a drought-resistant plant, stalks grow¬ 
ing from 4% to 5% feet tall with grain heads 10 to 
18 inches long. It is a Sugar Cane with Kafir heads 
growing on it. The stalks are very leafy, making 
an abundance of fodder. Grohoma grain and fodder 
are each rich in protein. 
Recommended for fodder only in northern lati¬ 
tudes. We offer choice recleaned seed. Not Post¬ 
paid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $2.75.

WHEATLAND MILO —One 
of the best grain sor¬ 
ghums, developed by the 
Kansas Agricultural Col¬ 
lege. Extremely dwarf in 
habit making it easy to 
combine, very drought 
resistant and a heavy 
yielder of excellent grain, 
equal in feeding value to 
corn. 
DWARF YELLOW MILO 
MAIZE — A non-saccha¬ 
rine Sorghum of high 
feeding value. This is 
the plant that is being 
so largely raised for its 
grain in the dry plains 
of eastern Colorado and 
western Kansas. The seed 
is larger than the seed 
of Kafir and not as hard 
and equal to corn in 
feeding value for stock 
and poultry. 
HEGARI —This is one of 
the earliest maturing of 
the grain sorghums. It 
is very similar to Kafir. 
The grain is nearly equal 
to Corn in feeding value. 
The stalks are leafy and 
make excellent fodder. 
Prices on the above va¬ 
rieties: Not Postpaid: Lb., 
10c; 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 75c; 
25 lbs., $1.25. 
Kafir Corn 
Cane or Sorgo 
WHITE CANE OR COOS SORGO —It resembles amber 
sorghum in appearance of stems, leaves, and heads, but 
differs In that the heads are not as juicy and only 
slightly sweet. Unlike the sweet sorghums, the seeds 
do not contain tannin, and hence are good feed for stock. 
The hulls are yellowish white and nearly enclose the 
seed. Coos sorghum matures in from 70 to 90 days and 
is therefore well adapted for short seasons and late 
plantings. 
BLACK AMBER —Is the most used. It is only in recent 
years that its real value as a food for livestock has at¬ 
tracted general attention. Its great merit is now be¬ 
ginning to be fully appreciated. It Is sweet, tender, 
nutritious, and greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. 
Dairymen find, when fed as ensilage, that cows give 
more and richer milk than from other feed. It can be 
grown successfully In any part of the country. It roots 
deeply; therefore, is one of the best plants to resist 
drought, and is a sure cropper. On account of its sugar 
contents and rank growth, no fodder crop produces so 
rich and large amount of good feed for so little money. 
Prices on Cane: Not postpaid: Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 40c; 10 
lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25. 
Dry Land Grain and Forage 
Seeds 
CULTURE — For forage 
crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds 
per acre; for grain, 5 to 6 
pounds in rows and cultivate 
same as corn. 
FETERITA —- Feterita is 
the earliest and most 
drought-resisting of the 
grain sorghums. The seed 
is larger than the seed 
of Kafir or Milo and not 
so hard. Should not be 
planted until the weather 
is warm, as it will rot 
before sprouting if the 
soil is cold and wet. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwarf 
Black Hull) —Usually 
grows 5 to 6 feet tall in 
the dry land areas. Heads 
are heavy and compact, 
10 to 14 inches long with 
black hulls and white 
seeds. The grain makes 
good feed for poultry and 
cattle.
