variety of Broom Corn grown for market. The brush 
is of good length and retains the light green color when 
properly cured; shows almost no red color.

Kaffir Corn. Has fine crop of foliage and if cut in early 
bloom the shoots that then follow will mature a full crop 
of seed and foliage. Both corn and fodder are excellent 
and the whole stock tender to full maturity of seed. 
Price on application. 
Mlllpt O ne ^h® mos ^ important “catch” forage 
1 1 crops that can be grown. Is palatable to stock, 
nutritious, grows quickly, crops heavily, and is much in 
favor among dairymen. Thrives best on a deep, rich, 
warm soil. 
Golden or German. We have found the Southern grown 
Golden Millet far superior in quality and yield to the 
Northern grown seed and will produce an enormous yield 
of nutritious food. Succeeds in almost any soil. Sow in 
May or June, 50 lbs. to the acre. 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 60c., 15 lbs. $1.50, 50 lbs. $4.00. 
Hungarian (Panicum Germanicum). Probably used 
more than any other Millet for fodder during the Sum¬ 
mer months. Remains green when almost all other veg¬ 
etation has dried up. It is one of the very best plants for 
green fodder or for ensilage; makes hay of the best qual¬ 
ity. Sow broadcast about 50 lbs. to the acre. 
Lb. 15c., 5 lbs. 60c., 15 lbs. $1.50, 50 lbs. $4.00. 
Japanese Barnyard Grass (Panicum Crus-galli). Suc¬ 
ceeds in almost any ordinary soil and may be sown from 
the middle of May to the first of July. Is distinct from 
other varieties. Enormous crop, grows from 6 to 8 feet 
high. Excellent either green or cured for hay. Exceed¬ 
ingly popular as a forage plant. Twenty-five pounds 
will sow an acre. 
Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 75c., 15 lbs. $1.80, 50 lbs. $5.75. 
Seed Oats Selected. An Oat of strong growth, 
--. ripening comparatively early. The heads 
are of good size, while the clean straw is stiff and bright. 
The essential point in successful Oat. growing is to have a 
variety with stiff, strong, heavy straw and one that will 
withstand heavy winds. The grains are of good color, 
thin hull and heavy meat. This variety does ■well in our 
Eastern climate, particularly in dry seasons. Sow 100 
lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 10c., 4 lbs. 35c., 8 lbs. 60c., 32 lbs. $1.85. 
Swedish Selected. A variety in favor with a number of 
Experiment Stations that endorse it very highly and are 
very free to recommend t hese Oats as one of the best they 
have ever grown. It is the best drought-resisting Oat on 
record. I he straw' is stiff and strong as well as bright 
and clean. This selection has a thin hull, heavy meat 
and soft nil). Whether for home consumption or for 
market, it is a variety wo highly recommend. 
Lb. 10c., 4 lbs. 35c., 8 lbs. 60c., 32 lbs. $1.85. 
Bags are charged at cost. 
Golden Millet Barley 
p eas Canada Field. Valuable in Northern climates 
-- for cattle feeding, especially for milch cows. Also 
makes ensilage of fine quality. Usually sown broadcast 
and harrowed in at the rate of 150 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 15c., 7 Y 2 lbs. 90c., 15 lbs. $1.75, 60 lbs. $6.00. 
Cow Peas. Each year the demand for Cow' Peas increases, 
as the farmers find they are of great value as a soil en- 
richer. Cut green they make excellent hay when treated 
the same as Clover, then the stubble w r ith the new growth 
may be turned under as fertilizer. If Kaffir Corn is 
sown with the Cow Peas it holds the vines off the ground. 
Southern Black. 
Lb. 20c., 7 ]/ 2 lbs. $1.00, 15 lbs. $1.85, 60 lbs. $6.50. 
Whip-Poor-Will. Light brow'n, speckled dark browm. 
Lb. 20c., lbs. $1.00, 15 lbs. $1.85, 60 lbs. $6.50. 
0 Dwarf Essex. Of great commercial value as a 
- forage for stock and poultry. It will thrive on 
almost all soils except light sandy and stiff clays, or where 
most of our common vegetables will succeed. For Sum¬ 
mer crops seed should be sown in May, but for late Fall 
crops sowings may be made in June and July. The best 
results are obtained if sown in drills alx>ut 30 inches 
apart to allow for horse cultivation, using 2 to 4 lbs. per 
acre. Seed may also be sown broadcast, but only w'hen 
weather is moist enough that the soil will not dry too 
deep. It is usually ready for cutting in eight to ten 
weeks’ time from seeding, and it is advisable to cut for 
cattle rather than turn them into a field; poultry may 
be turned into it to feed as soon as it has made sufficient 
growth. An exceptionally fine green feed for sheep and 
swine. 
Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 75c., 15 lbs. $2.00, 50 lbs. $6.25. 
0 Spring. For a catch crop this is best for sownng 
- in the Spring, as you can obtain a crop by later 
sowing than any other grain, although it does not yield 
as large a crop of grain as the Winter Rye. Sow GO to 90 
lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 15c., 7 lbs. 60c., 14 lbs. $1.00, 56 lbs. $3.75. 
Winter. This should be sowm in the Fall early enough to 
get a start and will stand our New England Winters. 
Ready for delivery in July. Ask for price. 
Sudan Grass £ , Ne " Annual Forage Crop. 
- Sudan Grass is a drought-resistant 
hay crop of great merit. In dry sections it yields more 
forage than Millet; the hay which is relished by stock of 
all kinds is of better quality than Millet hay. As a re¬ 
sult of extensive tests the Department of Agriculture 
reports that Sudan Grass will l>e extremely valuable in 
arid regions which have no other satisfactory hay crops. 
After the ground has become warm, seed may be sown 
broadcast at the rate of from 1G to 24 lbs. per acre; if 
planted in drills IS to 24 inches apart, from 4 to G lbs. per 
acre will be sufficient. 
Lb. 20c., 5 lbs. 75c., 15 lbs. $1.75, 50 lbs. $5.25.
