SACCHARINE SORGHUMS 
Cane Seed for Syrup 
These varieties are largely used for making syrup; they are also used 
to grow Cane for feed and ensilage. Sow in drills, using 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre. 
SUGAR DRIP. Extra large in size and in height and gives from 65 to 80 per cent of 
its weight in juice. For syrup it should be planted in drills, using from 5 to 8 pounds of 
seed per acre. Planted in drills for silage use from 8 to 12 pounds per acre. It may be 
sown broadcast for hay using from 60 to 80 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
CROOKNECK RIBBON. Planted principally to make syrup, yielding from three to 
four hundred gallons of the best syrup per acre. It is usually planted in rows 3% feet 
apart, using from 6 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. Grows from 10 to 15 feet high. Texas 
Crookneck Ribbon Cane is one of the crops that can be grown to use as ensilage on 
account of the enormous yield. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$2.25. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
JAPANESE OR HONEYDRIP. Matures in 125 to 158 days. The growth is very tall 
with many joints to the stalk, and necessarily a more vigorous root system, which pro¬ 
duces 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 
Sorghum production only is desired, and when the growing season is sufficiently long 
to mature it. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
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. 
EARLY AMBER. Largely used to sow for forage. Furnishes a large yield of most 
nutritious 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. Requires 94 days to mature. 
Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.00. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities.

NICHOLSON'S TESTED MILLET SEED 
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. Sow in April, May or June. 
NICHOLSON’S PURITY 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 best variety for hay or fodder. On good rich soil it will make a growth 
of 4 to 6 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., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
FANCY GERMAN. This is our second best grade of seed. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.00. 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 be planted before 
May. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.35. 
HOG OR MANITOBA. This variety grows larger than the common kind of Millet, 
and is valuable as poultry and stock food. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
20 lbs., $1.35. Write for prices in larger quantities
