(FOR FORAGE) 
JAPANESE RIBBON CANE 
While this variety is grown extensively for syrup, it is an ideal sort 
for silage, when a large tonnage per acre is desired. Usually grows 10 
to 12 feet tall, producing 60 to 100 gallons of fine flavor syrup per acre. 
Our stock was grown especially for us from high bred seed. Pound, 30c, 
postpaid. 
BLACK AMBER—90 days, the old original early variety grown almost 
exclusively for forage crop either alone or broadcast with cowpeas. 
Fodder quality. 
EARLY ORANGE—Matures a grain crop in 110 to 120 days. It is 
later than the Amber. Its stalks are heavier and shorter than the Amber. 
Its forage quality is first-class. Is very valuable for ensilage. One of 
the heaviest producers of ensilage of the entire sorghum family. Fodder 
quality. 
RED TOP or SUMAC—In our opinion this is the best variety for for¬ 
age or dry hay. The stalks are much smaller than either of the Amber 
or Orange varieties. It requires 130 to 140 days to mature a seed crop. 
We do not recommend this variety for ensilage as strongly as we do the 
larger stalk varieties, but many of our customers say it makes very 
excellent ensilage. There is no better quality for forage than the Red 
Top. It will remain sweet and wholesome until late in May of the 
year following harvest.

Black Amber Cane 
Broom Corn 
SCARBROUGH DWARF No. 7—Our stock of this seed 
is from the originator. It is truly a wonderful variety 
of Broom Corn. The seed grows close out on the tips of 
the fiber and it has a straight full tip, with a very smooth 
round knuckle, and very fine, round, straight fiber, ranging 
in length from 14 to 20 inches as a rule with butts about 
six inches long, and when harvested at the proper time 
the brush has a deep pea green color of very tough, wiry 
fiber. It is a wonderful drouth resister. The seed being 
all on the very tips of the brush make it very easy for 
the seeder to remove seed from the brush. Per lb., 40c, 
postpaid. Write for prices on larger lots. 
Root Crops for Stock Feeding— Mangel Beets 
CULTURE. The Mangels may be grown in almost any 
soil, but deep loams are necessary for heavy yields of the 
long varieties. When well grown the roots give immense 
yields of very valuable food for stock. Plant early in the 
spring in drills two to three feet apart and cover the 
MAMMOTH LONG RED—The roots of this variety grow

seed about 1% inches. Cultivate frequently. When about 
three inches high begin thinning and continue at intervals 
until the roots stand 8 inches apart in the rows. Use a 
packet to 25 feet of drill; an ounce to 100 feet; 6 to 8 
pounds per acre. 
GIANT HALF SUGAR MANGEL—This is a hybrid, or 
cross between the Mammoth Long Red and Sugar Beet, 
and in feeding value is far superior to either. As heavy 
a cropper as the mangels, sweeter and much relished by 
cattle and hogs. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 50c,
