NICHOLSON’S GRAIN SORGHUMS ARE DOUBLE CLEANED 
Nicholson's Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghums 
Used principally for grain, although the leaves are also 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 com made a failure. 
Kofir 
A FMd of FotMita 
AJAX 
A hybrid variety of Feterlta and Kafir par¬ 
entage. Developed in Teocas and recommended 
for trial in sections having annual fainfall of 
30 inches or more. Lb., 25c; 2 ibs., 45c, poot- 
paid. Please ask for prices in laiker lots. 
ALGERIA or BISHOP KARR 
A cross between Maize and Kafir. Livestock 
eat the entire stalk with reli^. 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 Ibs., 45c, post¬ 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
DARSO 
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 earli¬ 
ness. It requires only 6 pounds of seed to 
plant an acre. Soil should be prepared early 
for planting Feterita, for the purpose of stor¬ 
ing moisture. 
Requires 105 days to full maturity. Lb., 20c; 
2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$1.25. Please ask for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
GROHOMA 
A heavy grain yielding sorghum and the 
head does not shatter easily. Requires 132 
days. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 20 Ibs., $1.25. Please ask for prices 
in larger lots. 
HEGARI 
Nicholson's Selected Hegari 
Purity Brand Fancy 
It makes an enormous yield of grrain 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, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 Ibs., $1.10. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
BLACK HULL WHITE KAFIR 
It grows from 4 to 6 fset 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 ma¬ 
ture. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not pre¬ 
paid, 20 lbs., $1.00. Ask for prices on larger 
quantities. 
Below: A Field ol Hegari 
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 re¬ 
sistance. Darso makes excellent silage, and 
can be used as a grain, forage or silage crop. 
It has given splendid results in Texas. Re¬ 
quires no days to full maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 
lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. 
Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
EGYPTIAN WHEAT 
(SHALLU) 
Is very productive, making an enormous 
yield of grain and fodder. Shallu or Egyptian 
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.
