It Pays to Plant High Grade Field Seeds 
NICHOLSON'S NON-SACCHARINE GRAIN SORGHUMS 
These are used principally for grain, although the leaves are also largely used for forage. The stalk does 
not contain much sugar like Saccharine Sorghums. All are being used to good advantage for ensilage purposes. 
They have produced excellent results despite the scant rainfall, where corn made a failure. 
Algeria 
Not many years ago practically all 
grain sorghums in Texas were pro¬ 
duced 1 in the western and Panhandle 
sections of the State. In more recent 
years sorghum production has scat¬ 
tered over more than half of the State 
and has certainly advanced in im¬ 
portance. We strongly recommend 
the planting of grain sorghums—as 
a safe crop. 
FETERITA 
It is drouth resistant and is therefore espe¬ 
cially well suited as a crop under conditions of 
limited moisture—being somewhat earlier in 
maturity than milo maize, and therefore elu¬ 
sive of drouth. It responds well under produc¬ 
tions to favorable growing conditions, being 
one of the best grain sorghums for silage, 
perhaps, for use in the humid regions in the 
State. 
It makes a large forage growth under humid 
conditions and very frequently sets a good 
crop of seeds, perhaps on account of its ear¬ 
liness. It requires only 4 to 6 pounds of seed 
to plant an acre. Soil should be prepared 
early for planting Feterita, for the purpose 
of storing moisture. 
Requires 105 days to full maturity. Lb., 20c; 
2 lbs. 35c. postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs.. $1.50. 
Please ask for prices on larger quantities. 
HEGARI 
Nicholson's Selected Hegari 
Purity Brand Fancy 
It makes an enormous yield of grain in 
most sections of the State and is more de¬ 
sirable for forage or silage than either Kafir 
or Feterita. It is dwarf in habit of growth, 
producing large heads of white grains that 
do not shatter. Plant 8 to 10 lbs, per acre. 
Stands dry weather well. Requires 114 days 
to full maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
BLACK HULL WHITE 
KAFIR 
It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making 
straight, upright growth, has a strong stem 
with enormous, wide leaves. The stalks keep 
green and are brittle, making an excellent 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of 
feed. Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 
10 pounds per acre. For fodder, sow’ one 
bushel per acre, broadcast. Requires 120 days 
to mature. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
Hegari 
Darso 
ALGERIA or BISHOP KAFIR 
A cross between Maize and Kafir. Livestock 
eat the entire stalk with relish. The stalk is 
sweet, containing a large amount of sugar, 
and grows from 4 to 5 feet tall, with leaves 
about twice the size of Indian Corn and form 
15 to 19 leaves to the stalk. Algeria has a 
corn root, only it goes straight down instead 
of spreading, and will stand dry weather 
well, although it does exceptionally well in 
wet climates. Use about five pounds of seed 
per acre, thinning out to a stand similar to 
corn. It should be allowed to stool before 
working too much dirt to the roots. Requires 
115 days to full maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
DARSO 
Low growing, heavily foliaged with a large 
stalk, usually tinged with red. Its straight 
stalk is sweet and juicy, showing by chem¬ 
ical analysis to contain 12.76 per cent sac¬ 
charine in the juice, and analysis of the 
grain shows that the composition is very 
similar to that of Kafir. It matures earlier 
than Kafir, which fact has much to do with 
its drouth resistance. Darso makes excellent 
silage, and can be used as a grain, forage or 
silage crop. It has given splendid results in 
Texas. Requires 110 days to full maturity. 
Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities. 
EGYPTIAN WHEAT 
(SHALLU) 
Is very productive, making an enormous 
yield of grain and fodder. Shallu or Egyp¬ 
tian Wheat should be sown in drills three 
feet apart, using from 5 to 10 pounds of 
seed per acre. Requires 120 days to full 
maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities.
