NICHOLSON’S GRAIN SORGHUMS ARE DOUBLE CLEANED 
TREAT SORGHUMS WITH 2% CERESAN 
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 scant rainfall, where corn made a failure. 
A Field of Feterita 
AJAX 
A hybrid variety of Feterita and Kafir par¬ 
entage. Developed in Texas and recommended 
for trial in sections having annual fainfall of 
30 inches or more. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, post¬ 
paid. Plea.se ask for prices in larger lots. 
DARSO 
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 110 days to full maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 
lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. 
Ask for prices on larger quantities.

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. 
FETERITA 
It is drouth resistant and is therefore espe¬ 
cially well suited as a crop under conditions of 
limited moisture—one of the best grain sor¬ 
ghums for silage, perh.ai)s, 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 prepare<l early 
for planting Feterita, for the purpose of .stor¬ 
ing moisture. 
Requires 105 days to full maturity. I.b., 20c;
