FORREST’S HONEST SEEDS. 
45 
Pearl Millet, or Pencillania. In repeated trials, not only by ourselves but by disin 
terested parties, for the last three years, have proven to be identical in every way If sown 
in drills 4 feet apart each way and cultivated, will grow from 6 to to feet high It produces 
long broad leaves resembling corn. Should be cut while young and tender as the blades 
have sharp spikes on and the cattle do not eat it readily if let stand too long Can be cut 
several times during the season. Honest pkt. 5 c, oz. toe, lb. 20c ; by freight or express pk 
90c, 50 lbs. for #3 25. 
Speltz or Emmer. Another valuable grain of recent introduction from Europe, and is 
now quite largely raised in some of the Western States and is gaining a foothold in our home 
country. It has been grown for centuries in Russia, near the Caspian Sea ; a valuable substi¬ 
tute for oats and barley ; it out yields oats and barley for feed and is a sure cropper; does 
not crinkle down, shell or waste. To sum it up, we advise farmers to grow some Speltz. We 
believe from the trials at home that they will be more than pleased with it and can sell their 
seed to their neighbors for a good price after they become acquainted with it. Honest pkt. 
5c, oz. ioc, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By express or freight 1-4 bu. 40c, bu. $1.25. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
New Japanese. The kernels are nearly twice the size of any other, of a rich, dark 
brown color, and manufacture a superior flour. Owing to its branching character, only one- 
half as much seed per acre is required, while the straw is much stiffer and stands up better. 
This new buckwheat has rapidly displaced all others, and is now more largely planted than 
any other, being about two weeks earlier. Pound 20c, 3 lbs. 50c, by mail postpaid ; by ex¬ 
press, qt. ioc, pk. 40c, bu. $1.25, 5 bu. and over $1.10 per bu., sacks included. 
Silver Hull. Sown at same time as common buckwheat, this variety continues to 
bloom longer and-yields nearly double. The flour is whiter and more nutritious. Pound 
25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid ; by express, qt. ioc, pk. 40c, bu. $1.25. 
SPHIBTG- BU^LEE 
Distinct and valuable. A more profitable crop than oats. Distinct from the winter rye, 
grain of finer quality and more productive; can be successfully £rown in any latitude, and is 
now being largely sown in the Middle States in place of oats, being a much more profitable 
crop, on account of the production of nearly four times the straw, and also as a “catch” crop 
where winter grain has failed. The straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall and winter 
rye, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet high. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain per acre. As it does 
not stool like winter rye, not less than 2 bushels to the acre should be sown. Honest pkt. 5c, 
lb. 15c, 3 lbs. 40c, postpaid ; by express or freight, pk. 60c, bu. $1.50, 2 bu. $2.75, 5 bu. and 
over $1.35 per bu., bags free. 
BARLEY. 
Success Beardless. A new and distinct variety, fully a week or ten days earlier than 
any barley known. Height same as common barley, but better straw and will stand up on 
any land. A good yielder, six-rowed. Price, honest pkt. 5c, lb. 15c, 3 lbs. 40c, postpaid ; by 
express or freight, bu. $1.25, bags free. 
SPBIHG- WHEAT. 
Saskatchewan Fife. We consider this the best variety for general use. Honest pkt. 
5c, lb. 15c, postpaid; by express or freight, bu. $2.50, 5 bu. $2.25 per bu. 
SORGHUM. 
Early Amber. This variety is coming into general use for summer fodder for cattle in 
place of sowed corn, yielding two crops iu a season. It is claimed to keep up the flow of 
milk, and cows like it better than any other feed. It is also easily cured and makes excel¬ 
lent dry fodder. Three to four pounds are sufficient for an acre, in drills thirty inches apart 
between the rows, sowing the seed thick and shallow in the row. Per lb. 20c, postpaid ; 100 
lbs. $ 6.00.
