SUNDRY FARM SEEDS 
Prices are subject to Market Changes 
BUCKWHEAT—New Japanese—The ker- 
nels are larger than the common kind, the 
straw stouter and heavier, a very heavy 
cropper and less liable to blight than other 
sorts. It makes the finest flour. Sow 1 bushel 
per acre. Per lb., 25c; pk., 65c; bu., #2.00. 
BROOM CORN—Weber’s Improved Ever¬ 
green—Best variety for general cultivation on 
account of color and quality of brush, ripens 
very early, grows about 8 to 10 feet high, 
brush of good length and shows almost no 
red. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Lb., 30c; 
pk., #1.65; bu., #6.00. 
BARLEY—Six Rowed—A stiff straw, heavy 
yielding, six rowed bearded variety. An im- 
provement over the old Manshury in time of 
maturity, has plumper kernel and weighs more 
to the measured bushel. In stiffness of straw 
and rust resistance it is superior to any other 
variety. Two bushels will seed an acre. Per 
pk., 75c; bu., #2.50. 
MILLET—Golden (Tennessee Grown)—In 
the North, Millet is sown altogether for hay, 
and for that purpose the Southern grown is 
the best, it grows taller and finer than the 
Western, making better hay. In good rich soil 
it will make a growth of 4 to 5 feet high. A 
yield of 5 tons of hay is not unusual. Cut be* 
fore the seed hardens as after that the hay 
quality decreases. Will withstand dry weather 
remarkably well. Sow one bushel per acre. 
Per bu., #4.00. 
MILLET—Hungarian — Especially valuable 
on account of the short season required to 
make a crop. It can be sown as late as August 
1st and yields a heavy crop of excellent hay, 
only recommended, however, for sowing on 
low lands or rich soil. Valuable when hay is 
short or to follow some early harvested crops; 
sow one bushel per acre. Per bu., #4.25. 
MILLET—Pearl or Cat Tail (Pencillaria)— 
The best known and most valuable of all 
green forage plants in the South; it is enor- 
mously productive, and can be cut several 
times during the season; also be fed green or 
cured as dry forage, making a very nutritious 
food. Sow thinly in rows 3 feet apart at the 
rate of 10 lbs. per acre. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 
#1.50. 
MILLET—Japanese Barn-yard—Entirely dis- 
tinct from all other Millets. It grows 6 to 8 
feet high and yields an enormous crop, when 
cured it makes good hay and in quality is 
superior to corn fodder. Sow in May or 
June. Broadcast 10 to 15 lbs. per acre, or 
in drills 8 lbs. It does best on low, moist 
ground. Japanese Millet is adapted to all sec- 
tions of the country. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 65c; 
100 lbs., #5.50. 
OATS—Swedish Select—The best early oats, 
white color, hull thin, the kernel large and 
plump, straw is stiff and strong. A remark' 
able root development makes the Swedish Oat 
a good drought resister; the earliest of the 
heavy yielding sorts. Per bu. (32 lbs.), 
#1.60; 5 bu. at #1.50 per bu. 
OATS—Canadian Cluster—An enormous 
yielder producing very large heads, straw 
stiff, grain plump. Ripens early and not liable 
to rust. Sow 2 bushels per acre. Per bu. 
(32 lbs.), #1.60; 10 bu. at #1.50 per bu. 
OATS—Tartar King—An extremely early 
White Oat, and heavy cropper, the straw is 
tall, very strong and holds up well; one of the 
earliest, heaviest and most prolific sorts; will 
weigh in a favorable season 40 lbs. to meas- 
ured bushel. Per bu. (32 lbs.), #1.60; 10 bu. 
at #1.50 per bu. 
RYE—Spring—Spring Rye is an excellent 
catch crop where Winter grains have been 
killed out. Does not grow quite as large 
straw as Winter Rye, but yields as well and 
the grain is of finer quality. Sow V/l bushels 
per acre. Per pk., #1.00; bu., #3.00. 
RYE—Rosen Winter—A new heavy yielding 
variety, straw is strong, very long and stands 
up well. The heads are long and well filled 
A distinct improvement over the common rye. 
Sow \/i bushels per acre. Per pk., 75c; bu., 
#2.25. 
SUGAR CANE—Early Amber—An early 
productive variety, heavy yielder of most 
nutritious matter, can be fed green or cured; 
stalks tender and filled with a rich sweet sap. 
As a fodder plant it is of the very best quality 
and is greedily eaten by cattle, horses and 
hogs. Sow one peck per acre in drills V/l to 
4 feet apart. Per pk., #1.25; bu., #4.00. 
SUNFLOWER—Mammoth Russian — Pro- 
duces large heads and yields twice as large a 
crop of seed as the common sort, highly 
recommended for poultry. Oz., 5c; lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., #1.30; 100 lbs., #12.00.

of broad leaves. Broadcast at rate of about 
fifteen to twenty pounds per acre. Lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., #1.00; 100 lbs., #7.50.
