SEEDS 
MILLET GRASSES (At Market Prices) 
JAPANESE MILLET. Greatly sur¬ 
passes Hungarian and Golden Millet in 
growth, giving enormous cropping quali¬ 
ties. Equal to com fodder in nourish¬ 
ment, and relished equally as well by 
cattle once they are accustomed to it. 
Seed is suitable for poultry feed. For 
feeding green it may be cut from day to 
day until seed begins to ripen. The 
popular New England green forage. 
HUNGARIAN. One of the quickest and 
earliest catch crops for hay and fairly 
drought resistant. Less rank and smaller 
in stalk than other millets yet a great 
milk producer and popular with dairy¬ 
men for quick green feed. 
TENNESSEE GOLDEN. Makes a 
quickly grown easily cured nutritious hay 
crop. A dry weather summer catch crop 
of great value to succeed crops that fail. 
Stalks grow to a height of 4 feet, a yield 
and maturity about halfway between 
Japanese and Hungarian. Emerson’s 
quality is unsurpassed. 
SOUDAN GRASS. A popular western 
forage plant for cutting and pasturage. 
Extremely drought resisting and rank in 
growth. Many prefer this to millets as 
a hay crop because of heavy yield. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. The true 
biennial variety. Here is a hardy in¬ 
expensive, forage plant that yields an 
enormous crop, suitable for cattle, hogs, 
or sheep, as well as a cover crop that 
actually restores fertility to the soil. 
Early Fall seeding gives best results. 
THE WONDERFUL SOYBEAN 
This quick growing, soil enriching 
legume does well wherever com will 
grow. For hay or forage it thrives 
on soil too sour for clovers and is 
especially recommended for “green 
manuring’’ purposes. 
Black Wilson. An early hay maker 
or for ensilage with com. Cut for hay 
in 80 days. 100 lbs. $7.50. 
MANCHU. One of the most popular; 
larger and bushier than Ito San. For hay 
cut in 90 days. 100 lbs. $7.50. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW. A long sea¬ 
son, coarse variety. Recommended only 
for green manuring. 100 lbs. $8.00. 
Soy Beans produce 5 to 8 tons of green 
feed per acre in 70 to 90 days. 
A second year stand of Ladino Clover 
LADINO CLOVER for WET SOILS 
Here is a legume made to order for low, wet or 
marsh land. Really a perennial giant size type 
Dutch Clover especially suitable for pasture 
use as it recovers quickly when grazed. 
May be sown effectively in early spring or 
September and should be accompanied by a 
nurse crop — Oats, Timothy or Rye Grass. 
Although slow in starting it usually shows up 
well the last part of the growing season and 
predominates the second year. Once estab¬ 
lished it produces a rich, succulent cow feed 
and one that grows all summer where ample 
moisture exists, besides surviving well in com¬ 
petition with other grasses. 
We recommend not less than 4 lbs. of Ladino 
Clover to the acre. Where a nurse crop of 
25-30 lbs. are combined with it and to control 
the weed menace, it should be pastured or cut 
before full growth. Mow 6-8 inches high 
rather than cutting close which would expose 
the young clover plants to sun scald. 
Seed should be sown on a well harrowed, moist 
seed bed and where a damp condition will 
prevail assuring germination that is so neces¬ 
sary to this shallow rooted legume. 
Ladino Clover grows tall enough to cut for hay 
under most conditions and yields the second 
year FJ-4 tons of nutritious fodder. One of 
the best ways to utilize it is in the form of green 
feed, combining it with dry roughage or hay as 
a balanced ration for cattle or poultry. 
Certified Seed 1-25 lbs. $1.75 lb.; 25 lbs. or 
over $1.50 lb.
