German Millet makes a quickly 
grown, easily cured and large 
yielding, nutritious hay crop. It 
comes so quickly that it can be 
sown after wheat is cut, and leaves 
the land clean and in fine mechani¬ 
cal condition for the following 
crop. Millet should be cut when 
coming into flower, as after that 
stage the woody fibre forms in the 
stem and the hay is hard and un¬ 
palatable. Cut at the proper time, 
it makes a splendid hay. As a sum¬ 
mer catch-crop, it has few equals, 
for it makes its crop in about sixty 
days, discing and harrowing wheat 
or oat land being the only prepa¬ 
ration necessary. 
Growing millet with an early 
variety of cowpeas like Whippoor¬ 
will or New Era is quite popular, 
three pecks of millet being sown 
with a bushel of cowpeas. The crop 
should be cut when the millet is 
coming into bloom, regardless of 
the maturity of the cowpeas, for at 
this stage the feeding value of the 
millet hay is highest. Grown to¬ 
gether, the yield is larger than 
when either is grown alone. 
To have the finest millet hay, sow' thickly, not less than a bushel 
to the acre, from the middle of May till the end of July. Thin seed¬ 
ing makes coarse stems and a poorer hay. 
Tennessee German Millet is the largest yielding of the German 
millets. Do not confuse with common or Western millet, which is 
generally disappointing in the South Eastern states.

Tennessee German Millet 
Distinct from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high yielding an 
enormous crop that in quality is equal to cornfodder and is 
relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July 20 lbs. to the acre 
broadcast; or plant in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18 
inches high. When green, feed a moderate quantity at first, 
gradually increasing the quantity 
as the animals become accustomed 
to it. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs.

PEARL, or 
CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Also called FeaclUaria. 
If allowed to attain its full height 
Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 12 feet 
high, but for the greatest amount 
of green feed it should be cut when 
3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool 
out enormously, and during warm 
weather will grow with wonderful 
luxuriance, give three or four cut¬ 
tings a season, and keep on growing 
right up to frost. It does well even 
on poor land, and surprisingly well 
in dry seasons. All kinds of stock 
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it 
is highly nutritious. It is a warm 
weather plant, and should not be 
planted till the ground is thorough¬ 
ly warm otherwise the seeds will 
not germinate. Plant 5 lbs. to the 
acre in drills 3 feet apart. By mail 
postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 85c; 10 lbs. 
$1.55; 25 lbs. $3.15; 50 lbs. $6.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 
12c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 10c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 9c per lb. No charge 
for ’bag's. 
Pearl or Cat-Tail Millet. 
TEOSINTE 
A single seed producing from thirty to sixty stalks, each 10 to 12 
feet high, gives some idea of what an enormous yield may be had 
from Teosinte. If cut when 4 or 5 feet high, it makes an excellent 
fodder, starts immediately into growth again, and will give several 
more cuttings as large as the first; we have known it to yield five 
cuttings a season. If sufficient is planted, a continuous supply of 
nutritious green feed can be had daily right up to frost. The leaves 
are longer and broader than corn, contain 8 to 10 per cent of sugar, 
and are greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. It makes splendid 
ensilage. Plant in May or June in drills 3 *4 to 4 feet apart; 2 to 3 
pounds plant an acre. By mail postpaid, oz. 10c; *4 lb. 20c; lb. 55c; 
5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. $4.35. 
Not postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.15; 10 lbs. $4.00. 
Early Japanese 
Broom Corn 
BROOM CORN 
Will grow on any land that is adapted 
to corn. A good, fine seed bed is essential 
for proper growth. Plant in drills 1 to 
IV 2 inches deep, when the ground is thor¬ 
oughly warm, in 3% foot rows, thinning 
out to 6 to 9 inches in the row. Cultivate 
just as soon as the plants are large 
enough. Plant 6 lbs. per acre. 
STANDARD EVERGREEN— Grows to a 
height of 8 to 10 feet. Yields a heavy 
brush, free from heavy center stems 
and crooked brush. Ready to cut in 90 
to 100 days. By mail postpaid, lb. 32c; 
5 lbs. $ 1 . 15 ; 10 lbs. $2.15; 25 lbs. $4.65;

EARLY JAPANESE — Ready to cut for 
brush about 10 to 15 days earlier and

the Standard Evergreen. Grows to a 
height of 6% to 7 feet. Produces a green 
colored brush if cut early. Suitable for 
parlor brooms, and generally sells for 
more than other varieties. By mail
