Japanese Buckwheat. 
JAPANESE BUCK¬ 
WHEAT- This is the 
hardiest, most profitable 
variety of buckwheat in 
cultivation. As high as 40 
bushels have been harvested 
from the sowing- of ¥2 bush¬ 
el of seed and it is claimed to 
make flour superior to any 
other buckwheat. It is 
about one week earlier than 
Silver Hull, and yields bet¬ 
ter ; of strong, vigorous 
growth, and stands up well. 
It is without doubt the best 
variety for bees. The grain 
is rich dark brown in color,

passed for stiffness of straw, rust resistance and heavy 
yielding qualities; in many places producing over 60 
bushels to the acre. It is very hardy, vigorous and its

EARLY AMBER SUGAR 
CANE—Sugar Cane possesses 
high _ value for pasture, green 
feed in cut form, or in a dry state 
through the winter months and 
other ways is a valuable 
crop for the farmer, dairyman or! 
stock raiser. It is greedily eaten 
by horses, cattle or hogs. An 
occasional feed of sugar cane to 
horses is better than any stock 
food in existence as it has a 
splendid conditioning and 
strengthening effect. Dairymen 
find that cows will give more and 
richer milk from its use. As a 
soiling crop it is valuable and will 
_ produce pasture at a time of year 
when it is most needed after allowing a number of cuttings.

prized for its heavy syrup producing qualities: is also 
satisfactory as a forage. It does not grow as tall as the 
Early Amber but yields about the same. Prices same as 
f or the Early Amber. _ 
TEOSINTE 
This Corn yields four times more corn to the acre than any com 
mon corn, and a great deal more in shelled corn. It stools like 
wheat, each kernel producing from 4 to 8 stalks, with from 3 to 4 
ears on each stalk about 5 to 6 inches in circumference and from 9 
to 12 inches in length of pure white kernels. It is the best variety 
for ensilage. It contains a larger percentage of starch than any 
other corn and when ground and bolted by the same process as 
wheat, gives a better bread and biscuit flour than can be made from 
wheat. It is also used largely as roasting ears. Only two kernels 
should be planted to the hill and afterward thin to one and cultivate 
the same as other corn. Pkt., Gc.; 3 pkts., 15c.; 6 pkts., 25c.; 
12 pkts., 40c., postpaid. 
NEW JAPANESE MILLET 
A quick growing, drought resisting 
Millet of great merit; distinct from 
other varieties. We have grown this 
millet and have been very careful in 
selecting our seed stock from indivi¬ 
dual stalks and the seed we offer is 
an improved strain. It grows from 
4 to 5 feet high, stands up well and 
yields 15 tons of hay to the acre. 
It is claimed by a great many to be 
superior to corn fodder and is eager¬ 
ly eaten by all kinds of stock. It can 
be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 
pounds to the acre, or can be drilled 
in 12 or 18 inches apart, which re¬ 
quires about 12 pounds. It does not 
need cultivating after it has attain¬ 
ed a height of 18 inches as it will 
smother all weeds. Will make a good 
crop if sown right after cutting your 
oats, barley, rye or wheat, and will 
ripen in from 60 to 90 days. Pkt., 
5c,. 3 pkts., 10c.. lb.. 20c., 3 lbs.,

TEOSINTE 
A forage plant that was brought 
to this country some years ago and 
has been grown very successfully. 
It resembles corn somewhat, but has 
a much broader leaf and sweeter sap 
It is a very rapid growing plant after 
it has attained a height of 5 or 6 in¬ 
ches and grows to a height of 11 feet. 
0 It suckers more than any other fol¬ 
iage plant; often producing 25 to 30 
stalks, and as many as 75 stalks have 
been grown from one kernel of seed. 
It can be cut when two or three feet 
high, after which it will rapidly 
grow up and as many as four crops 
have been cut during a season. The 
amount of forage per acre from this 
plant is something immense; in 
many cases from 250 to 300 tons. It 
should be planted in hills two feet 
apart each way and three pounds 
is sufficient for one acre.
