HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Com-—(Continued) 
BLUE SQ.UAW —Is extremely early and of very 
dwarf habits. Average length of ears 7 y 2 inches, 
grain of dark purple color and sugary. Better for 
hogging down than the White or Yellow Flint as 
the grain is not as hard. Ready to use in about 
70 days. 
COLORADO IVo. 13 —This is a selection from Minne¬ 
sota No. 13, developed by the Colorado Pure Seed 
Growers Association. Recommended especially for 
earliness and high yielding qualities. 
COLORADO WHITE DENT —-A corn very similar to 
Colorado Yellow Dent except in color. A White 
Dent variety that has been bred for earliness and 
will make a better yield per acre than the Yellow 
Dents, especially on thin soils. 
EARLY CALICO —The grains of Calico are striped 
red, yellow and white and mature fully 10 days 
earlier than the later maturing Yellow Dent va¬ 
rieties. Ears 10 to 12 inches in length. Sthlks 
tall and very leafy. Calico is very rich in protein 
and highly relished by stock. 
FALCONER —Every year this wonderful semi-dent 
proves more and more its very great value to the 
Northwest. It is earlier than any of the dents, 
and heavier, being a descendant from the original 
native Indian Corn, and it has consistently out- 
yielded all other sorts year in and year out. It 
will grow and develop in cold weather when other 
more tender sorts stand still. The color is a 
somewhat uneven yellow, rows eight to twelve, 
and ears large. It grows tall enough on the stalk 
to be handled with a corn binder. Our seed was 
grown at an altitude of over 6000 ft. and is well 
adapted to Northern sections. 
RAINBOW FLINT —This is an early maturing corn 
and is very desirable for dry lands and short sea¬ 
sons. It is a flint, resembling White Australian 
in habit and size of kernels. The grains are va¬ 
riegated and highly colored. 
Ensilage Corn 
IOWA SILVER MINE (100 days)—Silver Mine is 
deep grained, pure white, rough-topped, with small 
white cob. Ears 9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 
20 rows of pure white kernels. This corn is a 
drought-resister, maturing in hot climates where 
early droughts are frequent. Stalks medium 
height, very leafy, with broad blades. 
RED COB ENSILAGE—A pure white corn with a 
very small red cob; stools like wheat, growing 
from 6 to 8 feet tall and often yielding as high as 
45 tons to the acre. It is sweet, tender and juicy, 
containing more nourishment than other ensilage 
corns. Has short joints, an abundance of leaves 
and of tall growth. Its early maturing habits, 
together with its enormous tonnage, make it one 
of the very best ensilage corns for this territory. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT (110 days)—Color deep yel¬ 
low. Leaves and stalks make the finest ensilage 
or fodder. 
Grohoma 
Grohoma 
Grohoma is a drought-resistant plant, stalks grow¬ 
ing from 4 y 2 to 5 y 2 feet tall with grain heads 10 to 
18 inches long. It is a Sugar Cane with Kafir heads 
growing on it. The stalks are very leafy, making 
an abundance of fodder. Grohoma grain and fodder 
are each rich in protein. 
Recommended for fodder only in northern lati¬ 
tudes. We offer choice recleaned seed. 
FETERITA — Feterita is 
the earliest and most 
drought-resisting of the 
grain sorghums. The seed 
is larger than the seed 
of Kafir or Milo and not 
so hard. Should not be 
planted until the weather 
is warm, as it will rot 
before sprouting if the 
soil is cold and wet. 
HEGARI —This is one of 
the earliest maturing of 
the grain sorghums. It 
is very similar to Kafir. 
The grain is nearly equal 
to Corn in feeding value. 
The stalks are leafy and 
make excellent fodder. 
(>0 DAY MILO —A non-sac¬ 
charine sorghum of high 
feeding value. This is the 
plant that is being so 
largely raised for its grain 
in the dry plains of east¬ 
ern Colorado and western 
Kansas. The seed is larger 
than the seed of Kafir 
and not as hard and equal 
to corn in feeding value 
for stock and poultry. 
WHEATLAND MILO — One 
of the best grain sor¬ 
ghums, developed by the 
Kansas Agricultural Col¬ 
lege. Extremely dwarf in 
habit, making it easy to 
combine, very drought re¬ 
sistant and a heavy yield- 
er of excellent grain, 
equal in feeding value to 
corn. 
Cane ®r Sorgo 
BLACK AMBER —Is the most used. It is only in 
recent years that its real value as a food for 
livestock has attracted general attention. Its 
great merit is now beginning to be fully appre¬ 
ciated. It is sweet, tender, nutritious, and greedily 
eaten by all kinds of stock. Dairymen find, when 
fed as ensilage, that cows give more and richer 
milk than from other feed. It can be grown suc¬ 
cessfully in any part of the country. It roots 
deeply; therefore, is one of the best plants to 
resist drought, and is a sure cropper. On account 
of its sugar contents and rank growth, no fodder 
crop produces so rich and large amount- of good 
feed for so little money. 
RED AMBER— This is a comparatively new variety, 
but is rapidly increasing in popularity. It is 
similar to the Black Amber, but is more leafy and 
is somewhat earlier than the black, which makes 
it more satisfactory for a catch crop after others 
have failed. 
Kafir Corn 
WHITE KAFIR (D w a r f 
Black H u 1 1) —Usually 
grows 5 to 6 feet tall in 
the dry land areas. Heads 
are heavy and compact, 
10 to 14 inches long with 
black hulls and white 
seeds. The grain makes 
good feed for poultry and 
cattle. 
Dry Land Grain and 
Forage Seeds 
CULTURE —For forage 
crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds 
per acre; for grain, 5 to 6 
pounds in rows and cultivate 
same as corn.
