Saccharine Sorghum Makes Richer Syrup 
Japanese or Honeydrip 
SACCHARINE SORGHUMS 
Cane Seed for Syrup 
These varieties are largely used for making syrup; they are also used 
to grow Cane for feed and ensilage. Sow in drills, using 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre. 
SUGAR DRIP. Extra large in size and in height and gives from 65 to 80 per cent of 
its weight in juice. For syrup it should be planted in drills, using from 5 to 8 pounds of 
seed per acre. Planted in drills for silage use from 8 to 12 pounds per acre. It may be 
sown broadcast for hay using from 60 to 80 pounds per acre. Lh.. 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
CROOKNECK RIRRON. Planted principally to make syrup, yielding from three to 
four hundred gallons of the best syrup per acre. It is usually planted in rows 3Vi feet 
apart, using from 5 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. Grows from 10 to 15 feet high. Texas 
Crookneck Ribbon Cane is one of the crops that can be grown to use as ensilage on 
account of the enormous yield. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$2.25. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
JAPANESE OR TIOXEYDRIP. Matures in 125 to 158 days. The growth is very tall 
with many joints to the stalk, and necessarily a more vigorous root system, which pro¬ 
duces a large quantity of Sorghum syrup to the acre, for the reason that the tonnage 
production is greater than that of any other variety. This is a favorite Cane where 
Sorghum production only is desired, and when the growing season is sufficiently long 
to mature it. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities.

CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
The Wonder Soil Builder 
Crotalaria spectabilis has proved itself to be the outstanding summer cover crop. It is a legume, adding nitro¬ 
gen to the soil at the rate of about 800 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. A yield of 40,000 pounds of green 
material per acre is not uncommon with crotalaria. The organic materials produced by the decomposition of 
crotalaria spectabilis are able to attack unavailable plant food materials, and make them useful to the crop. 
Crotalaria spectabilis produces more humus and more nitrogen per acre than any other crop. This makes it the 
cheapest cover crop to grow. It has succeeded in the Southern States and as far north as Vincennes, Indiana. It 
is not a host to injurious insects and diseases. It will reseed each year and is not a pest. 
Plant Crotalaria for Quick Heavy Growth 
Crotalaria spectabilis is used as a summer cover and soil builder in groves, 
orchards, vineyards, etc. It is planted in corn and other farm crops at the 
last cultivation and makes a tremendous growth the same season. It will 
build up the worn out land so common on every farm. It has been known to 
double crop yields following it. As shown by actual test Crotalaria is about 
four times as good for soil building as velvet beans. 
Crotalaria spectabilis can be planted as soon as frost damage is passed. It 
should be planted in well prepared soil and can be planted broadcast or in 
drills. Ten pounds of seed are required per acre for broadcast planting and 
about half that much when drilled. 
CAUTION: Do not allow chickens to peck up seed after being planted, 
as the seed will sour in their craw and will cause death at times. Lb.. 25c; 
2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.75. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities.
