SILVER KING (Wisconsin No. 7) 
BEST YIELDER OF ALL OUR WISCONSIN VARIETIES AND BY 
FAR THE BEST WHITE DENT FOR SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND 
NORTHERN ILLINOIS. 
Silver Kang is not only the best white variety but one of the best and 
heaviest yielders of all varieties of corn. It came from northern Iowa 
to Wisconsin in 1904. We first offered it in 1907. Now it is well known 
and a standard variety. It is a big yielder and specially fine for the silo. 
It has yielded at the Wisconsin Experiment Station 98 bushels per acre 
and the average yield for the whole state for three years was 57 bushel* 
as compared with 33 bushels, the average of all other varieties 
The greatest yield for Silver King thus far reported and the yield 
record for Wisconsin, all varieties, so far as we know, is 137-6/10 
bushels per acre. This yield was in Racine County. 
This variety is a uniform creamy white in color and has a slight 
roughness of kernel. The cob is glistening white. The length of ears 
varies from 7 to 10 inches. The standard length is from 8% to 9% 
inches.

WISCONSIN NO. 25 
(NORTHERN YELLOW DENT.) 
. , earliest of all WISCONSIN VARIETIES. 
This IS the corn for the extreme north and for late planting farther south. Earlier 
than any other dent ^riety and pronounced by the Wisconsin Experiment Statior 
as ‘ well adapted to the northern sections as a seed and silage variety.” It orig- 
mated at the Ashland Station, a cross of Wisconsin No. 8 and a very early yellow 
dent which was secure-d from northern Michigan

OLDS* SUDAN GRASS 
(Sow 35 pounds to an acre.) 
Sudan Grass is proving a mighty valuable crop 
for Wisconsin. Sudan Grass is a good emergency 
hay crop. No crop quite equals Sudan Grass for a 
late pasture and hay crop. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such 
great value: 
First-—Yield. It makes a heavy yield of hay, 
outranking all the millets in yield per acre. Yields 
of two to four tons of cured hay per acre from 
one cutting are common in Wisconsin. Two cuttings 
a season can often be made. 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay 
than millet. It makes wonderful hay grown with 
soy beans and helps to cure them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after 
you are through with your corn, or when corn 
fails. Sow any time from May 20th to June 20th, 
or even a little later. Do not sow too early. It is 
strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too 
early the seed will rot. Sow not less than 35 pounds 
of seed per acre and a drill is better than a seeder 
for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drought Resistant. It withstands long 
periods of drought continuing to grow when most 
everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother 
crop, especially for quack and Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities 
and most important of all Sudan Grass can be pas¬ 
tured. After the hay crop is taken off it makes a 
fine late pasture as it grows up again quickly. Or, 
it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
cut for hay. It is also great for late pasture. Sown 
the last of May or first of June it is ready the 
middle of July when the blue grass pasture is 
dried up. 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It grows 
quickly, produces enormously and is an easy crop 
to handle. It is strictly an annual, dying at the 
end of the season.

OLDS* MILLET 
THE BEST MILLET. 
White Wonder is the best of all the 
millets in our judgment. 
It produces more tons of hay per acre 
than any other millet. 
In spite of the very large growth the 
foliage is thick, with numerous broad 
leaves so that it furnishes a high grade 
of millet hay. 
It is earlier than either German or Coln- 
mon Millet and is well adapted to the 
North. 
Our stock is very fine—clean, plump and 
bright. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 
60c; 100 lbs., $3.25. 
HUNGARIAN MILLET. 
An early variety of millet. The hay is of 
excellent quality and the yield under good 
conditions averaging from two to two and 
one-half tons per acre, ranking next to 
German Millet in this respect. Is not very 
satisfactory on dry soils and climates. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 
lbs., $3.00. 
GERMAN MILLET. 
Most popular of all the millets. A tall growing variety with 
large stout stems, leaves broad and stiff. Seed of a yellow 
or golden color. For seed sow at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds 
and for hay sow about 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Millet may 
be sown from May 15th to July 1st. 
Prices, by freight: 6 lbs., 30c; 10 lbs., 55c; 100 lbs., $2.75. 
JAPANESE MILLET (Billion Dollar Grass.) 
A very large millet adapted to all sections. Specially fine 
for low ground. Makes more hay than German Millet and 
requires less seed per acre. Sow in May or June, 20 to 25 
pounds per acre. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 70c; 100 lbs,, $3.75. 
COMMON MILLET. 
A little earlier in season than German Millet. Leaves are 
rather broad and not as stiff as German, and seed heads are 
smaller. Seed is Avhite instead of yellow. Some farmers prefer 
it to German. 
Prices: 6 lbs., 30c; 10 lbs., 56c; 100 lbs., $2.75. 
PROSO OR HOG MILLET. 
Makes inferior hay, unless cut very young, but yields enor¬ 
mous quantities of large, plump seed, very valuable for poultry. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $2.75. 
(One pound, any variety of millet, by mail, 15c; 3 lbs., 
35c, postpaid.)
