Wood’s Northern White Dent Corn. 
The Earliest Large, White Dent. 
Ripens thoroughly in latitudes south 
of Albany and Buffalo. Extraordinarily 
prolific, often yielding 1 10 bushels shelled 
corn per acre. Large ears, 10 to 12 
inches long, 7 to 8 inches in circumfer¬ 
ence. Long kernels, small cob. Ears 
2 to 3 feet from the ground. Plant 
leafy and luxuriant, making fine fodder 
It is the earliest large white Dent 
Corn we know of. Price, 75c. pk., 
$2.50 bush.; 10-bush, lots, S2.40 bush.

JAPANESE MILLET. 
A very distinct variety that is particularly valuable Id 
the Northern States as a ouick-growing forage and en¬ 
silage crop, attaining a height, in good soil, of 6 to 8 feet 
and yielding from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. 
For feeding green, it may be cut from day to day as 
needed until the seed begins to ripen. During this period 
it is much relished by stock; cattle especially consume it 
without waste before touching green fodder corn, and 
cows fed on it invariably increase in milk. For dried 
fodder, it should be cut in the blossom stage; it averages 
6 tons of cured fodder per acre, and while coarser than hay, 
it is freely eaten by stock and is often preferred by horses 
to Timotny and Clover hay; when sown early, it produces 
a fair second cutting. For ensilage, two parts of the 
Millet in combination with one part Soja Beans forage, 
forms a complete balanced ration that may be fed, with¬ 
out grain, even to milch cows. Sow from May to July, 
15 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or if in drills, 12 to 
18 inches apart, use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre; the latter 
method is preferable so that the crop may be cultivated 
until it gets ahead of the weeds. (See cut.) Price, 10c.

Early Green Soja Bean. 
This variety produces enormous crops as far north as 
Canada, and will ripen its seeds even in Massachusetts. It 
f ;rows about 4 ft. high and yields ten to twenty tons of green 
odder per acre, or 20 to 40 bushels of Beans. 
It is a valuable leguminous plant for the farmer and dairy¬ 
man for either green or cured fodder or grain. It is especially 
valuable for ensilage in combination with fodder corn or 
Japanese Millet, thus furnishing a complete balanced ration 
with an agreeable .aromatic flavor, and is greedily relished by 
cattle. It increases the milk and butter and fattens the 
stock. The grain is also exceedingly nutritious, ranking, 
when ground, even higher than cotton seed or linseed meal 
for feeding cattle, hogs and other stock. 3 lbs. of Soja Bean 
meal added to the grain ration of milch cows produces a rich 
milk. 
Soja Beans are great soil enrichers, adding humus and fix¬ 
ing nitrogen from the air. The seed may be planted as soon 
as the soil is warm — a little later than corn— in rows 30 
inches apart, 0 to 8 seeds to the foot, requiring 3 pecks per 
acre. (See cut.)

Henderson’s Japanese Buckwheat. 
This grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, 
has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this coun¬ 
try. It is of strong, branching growth, stands up well and 
produces from two to four times as much grain as any 
other variety under same conditions. It is also fully a 
week earlier. The seed of our Japanese variety is nearly 
as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 
finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all 
other sorts where known. 
The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports 
that it has grown Henderson’s New Japanese Buck¬ 
wheat for two years, and has found it superior to the old 
varieties in several important respects. “It is larger and 
stronger, and stands up better during storms, and its 
seeds are larger, but what places it far ahead of other 
varieties is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in 
dry, hot weather. It can also be sown much earlier 
than other varieties, thus avoiding loss by early frost.” 
Henderson’s Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from 
the largest Japanese type imported each year by us for 
stock seed, and is therefore immensely superior to that 
grown here for several seasons, whereby it has deteriorated.

s Champion Yellow Dent Corn. 
The highest achievement in com breeding. Has yielded I 60 bushels of 
shelled corn per acre. Average yield for 1904, 133 bushels per acre. 
Average yield for 10 years on 80 to 90 acres, 125 bu. per acre. 
This Kipg of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest 
ad the most productive Yellow Dont Corn ever produced, 
and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially 
in the Middle and Eastern States, on account of its immense 
yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than 
can be obtained from the average old-type corns generally 
planted. 
Long’s Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breed¬ 
ing and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, one of the most success¬ 
ful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania corn belt. 
The ears are of immense size, 12 to i4 inches in length, 
8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 20 to 24 uniform 
rows of long large kernels well developed over tip and butt. 
It is a luxuriant grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in 
Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed 
to mature by September 20th, when planted during the 
first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed 
grown by the originator for sale, and it cannot be offered 
by any other seedsman or dealer. (See cut.) 
Price, $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush.; 10-bush, lots, @$4.90 bush.
