GERMAN MILLET 
Large Yielding Type 
German Millet makes a quickly 
grown, easily cured and large 
yielding, nutritious hay crop. It 
comes so quickly that it can be 
sown after wheat is cut, and 
leaves the land clean and in fine 
mechanical condition for the 
following crop. Millet should be 
cut when coming into flower, 
as after that stage the woody 
fibre forms in the stem and the 
hay is hard and unpalatable. 
Cut at the proper time, it makes 
a splendid hay. As a summer 
catch-crop, it has few equals, 
for it makes its crop in about 
sixty days, discing and harrow¬ 
ing wheat or oat land being the 
only preparation necessary. 
Growing millet with an early 
variety of cowpeas like Whip¬ 
poorwill or New Era is quite 
popular, three pecks of millet 
being sown with a bushel of 
cowpeas. The crop should be 
cut when the millet is coming 
into bloom, regardless of the 
maturity of the cowpeas, for at 
this stage the feeding value of 
the millet hay is highest. Grown 
together the yield is larger than 
when either is grown alone. 
To have the finest millet hay, 
sow thickly, not less than a 
bushel to the acre, from the 
middle of May till the end of 
July. Thin seeding makes 
coarse stems and a poorer hay.

BROOM CORN 
Will grow on any land that is adapted 
to corn. A good, fine seed bed is essential 
for proper growth. Plant in drills 1 to 
IV 2 inches deep, when the ground is thor¬ 
oughly warm, in 3% foot rows, thinning 
out to 6 to 9 inches in the row. Cultivate 
just as soon as the plants are large 
enough. Plant 6 lbs. per acre.

height of 8 to 10 feet. Yields a heavy 
brush, free from heavy center stems 
and crooked brush. Ready to cut in 90 
to 100 days. By mail postpaid, lb. 28c;

EARLY JAPANESE — Ready to cut for 
brush about 10 to 15 days earlier and 
makes a finer and heavier brush than 
the Standard Evergreen. Grows to a 
height of 6 V 2 to 7 feet. Produces a green 
colored brush if cut early. Suitable for 
parlor brooms, and generally sells for 
more than other varieties. By mail

Early Japanese 
Broom Corn 
JAPANESE, or BARNYARD MILLET 
Called Billion Dollar Grass 
Distinct from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high, yielding an 
enormous crop that in quality is equal to cornfodder and is rel¬ 
ished by stock. Sow in May, June or July 20 lbs. to the acre broad¬ 
cast; or plant in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18 inches 
high. When green, feed a moderate quantity at first, gradually in¬ 
creasing the quantity as the animals become accustomed to it. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 60c; 10 lbs. $1.05; 25 lbs. $2.05; 
50 lbs. $3.90. 
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 7c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 514 c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 5c per lb. No charge for bags. 
PEARL, or CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Also called PenciUaria 
If allowed to attain its full height, Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 
12 feet high, but for the greatest amount of green feed it should 
be cut when 3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool out enormously, 
and during warm weather will grow with wonderful luxuriance, 
give three or four cuttings a season, and keep on growing right up 
to frost. It does well even on poor land, and surprisingly well in 
dry seasons. All kinds of stock eat it greedily, and flourish on it; 
it is highly nutritious. It is a warm weather plant, and should not 
be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise the seeds 
will not germinate. Plant 5 lbs. to the acre in drills 3 feet apart. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 2Sc; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $135; 25 lbs. $2.65; 
50 lbs. $5.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 10c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 8c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 7}4c per lb. No charge for bags. 
TEOSINTE 
A single seed producing from 30 to 60 stalks, each 10 to 12 feet 
high, gives some idea of what an enormous yield may be had from 
Teosinte. If cut when 4 or 5 feet high, it makes an excellent fodder, 
starts immediately into growth again, and will give several more 
cuttings as large as the first; we have known it to yield five cut¬ 
tings a season. If sufficient is planted, a continuous supply of 
nutritious green feed can be had daily right up to frost. The leaves 
are longer and broader than corn, contain 8 to 10 per cent of sugar, 
and are greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. It makes splendid 
ensilage. Plant in May or June in drills 3% to 4 feet apart; 2 to 3 
pounds plant an acre. By mail postpaid, oz. 10c; 14 lb. 20c; lb. 55c; 
5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. $4.35. 
Not postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.15; 10 lbs. $4.00.
