Siberian, or 
Russian Millet 
German or Golden Millet 
(Southern Grown) 
Southern grown German or Golden Millet Seed is far 
.-superior, both in quality and yield, to Western or Northern 
grown seed. When properly grown and handled, it makes an 
enormous yield of nutritious feed, succeeding in almost any 
soil. Sow in May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price 
Varies with the market. Qt., 10c.; bash., about 50 lbs., 51.75. 
Hungarian Millet 
The most popular annual millet, yielding two or three 
tons of hay per acre. Sow 1*^ bushels to the acre in May or 
June. Price varies. Qt., 10c.; bush., - 181133 ., about 51.50. 
Pearl Millet, or Pencillaria 
For several years we have been experimenting with all 
*the known forage plants and have found nothing superior to 
Pearl Millet either in enormous growth or quality. It has 
produced the most abundantly and can be cut several times 
•during the season. The United States Agricultural Depart¬ 
ment has also made numerous experiments and with about 
the same results as those at Floracroft. If you grow green 
forage, try East Indian or Pearl Millet, and you will find 
there is nothing better. Drill in 2 feet rows, 10 lbs. loathe 
acre. By mail, postpaid, per pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c.; 
by freight or express, lb.. 20c.; 10 lbs. (enough for one acre), 
$1.00; bush, of 50 lbs., $4.50.

Gardens. Note the difference. The tall, leafy sort on the 
right of the man is the Genuine Southern Grown. The 
one on his left is Common Western Millet. 
Very Important to Buyers of Millet 
Common Millet is offered and sold by many dealers as 
German Millet. 
The seed bears sufficient resemblance to German Mil\pt 
to deceive inexperienced purchasers, and to make the prices 
asked by other houses for the true German Millet seem 
unreasonable. 
#5“Do not buy German Millet without the distinct and 
positive assurance that it is Southern Grown Seed. 
The Difference between German Millet 
and Common Millet 
In the North, millet is sown almost altogether for hay, 
and for that purpose Southern (Jrown da man Millet is much 
■better than Common Millet. It grows taller than does that from 
Northern seed, and that means more hay. It is finer than 
that from Northern seed and that means better hay. In 
fact, it is our judgment, based on an experience of many 
years, thatn farmer would bet ter,from the.standpoint ofprofit 
alone, pay S2.00 a bushel for true Southern Qroum German 
Millet than to sow the best Northern Millet as a gift. Millet 
seed produced in the North, even from Southern seed, be¬ 
comes what we call Common Millet. Not only does the 
plant change in character, becoming coarser and much more 
dwarf, but the seed itself shows a change and is readily dis¬ 
tinguished by those experienced in handling it. 
A new and produc¬ 
tive forage plant from 
Russia, which has given 
excellent results in the 
United States and is 
rapidly- becoming most 
popular. It is extremely 
hardy, withstands 
drought and is about 
two weeks earlier than 
German Millet. Grows 
4 to 5 feet in height, 
ranker, and produces 
more leaves than either 
the Hungarian or Ger¬ 
man Millet. Itsstooliug 
properties are remark¬ 
able, forty-one stalks 
having been grown from 
one seed. The leaves 
start close to the ground 
and continue nearly to 
the top of the stem, are 
wide and tender, mnking 
it preferable to all other* 
millets for hay. Yield of 
hay is one-third to one- 
half more per acre than 
Hungarian and German; 
the hay is softer when 
cured, greener in color 
and preferred by all.
