PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS—Smrf 1906 
Perfection Brand Grain Sorghums 
A Field of Perfection Brand Hegari 
Darso 
DARSO is low growing, heavily foliaged, 
and has a large stalk which is usually tinged 
with red. It is remarkable for its uniformity 
in height and uniformity in shape and color 
of heads. The stalks are sweet and juicy, and 
chemical analysis of grain shows that the 
composition is very similar to that of Kafir. 
Darso matures earlier than Kafir, which fact 
has much to do with its drouth resistance. 
Darso makes excellent silage, and can be used 
for grain, forage or silage crop. Lb., 20c, 
postpaid. 
Millet 
CULTIVATED GERMAN MILLET —Our 
stock of big German Millet is grown in rows 
and cultivated for seed purposes only. This 
makes a large yielding and most nutritious 
hay crop, quick growing and easily cured. 
Grows 4 to 5 feet tall with heads 5 to 6 inches 
long. Per lb., 15c, postpaid. 
OUR FIELD SEEDS ARE ALL OF 
VERY HIGH QUALITY 
There are several grades of field seeds 
on the market and prices differ accord¬ 
ing to grade. Be careful when buying, 
especially when you see seeds offered 
for considerably less than market value.

ATLAS SORGO—Has a sturdy, leafy stalk 
abundantly juicy and sweet. The heads are 
fairly compact, somewhat cylindrical in shape 
with short branches well filled with white seed 
similar in size and shape to kafir. Grows to a 
height of 7 to 10 feet and requires from 120 
to 130 days to mature. Atlas is noted for its 
resistance to lodging, superior quality of grain, 
high yield and excellence of forage. Selected 
seed grown from Certified stock, lb., 15c, post¬ 
paid. Certified Seed, lb., 20c, postpaid. Write 
for quantity prices. 
Millet—Big German 
Kafir 
KAFIR—The uplands of Kansas, Oklahoma 
and Texas will give much better cash returns 
when planted to Kafir, because when ground 
for feed, gives practically the same feeding 
value as corn. It does not require very much 
Kafir seed an acre when drilled in rows 3% 
feet apart. 2 to 4 pounds of seed to the acre 
is all you will need. If you want to sow the 
seed broadcast or drill it with a drill for fod¬ 
der, use 50 to 75 pounds per acre. 
DWARF BLACKHULL WHITE KAFIR— 
Lb., 20c, postpaid. 
Hegari 
HEGARI—A new grain or forage crop sim¬ 
ilar to both White Kafir and Feterita. It is 
more desirable for grain than either, as the 
bad qualities of both have b^en eliminated. 
Feterita shells out pretty badly, and Hegari 
will not shell. Feterita is soft and pithy, while 
Hegari is solid and sound and with plenty of 
blades. Its dwarf habit of growth, 4 to 5 feet 
in height, and compact heads of large white 
grains make it very attractive. Hegari also 
produces large crops of grain. The stems are 
rather sweet and horses and cattle eat the 
stalks, fodder and grain if permitted to do so. 
ARIZONA GROWN H E G A RI —Registered 
stock, well recleaned and of high germination. 
Per lb., postpaid, 20c. By freight or express, 
lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $3.50. 
Feterita 
FETERITA—Has a slender dry stalk, nor¬ 
mally 4% to 6 feet tall, only medium leafy, 
and of relatively low value for forage. The 
heads are erect and compact. The soft seed of 
Feterita rot quickly in cold wet soil, and best 
results are obtained when planted late. Is quick 
maturing and is noted for its smut resistance. 
When Feterita gets up about eight inches high, 
it branches out from four to eight sucker 
plants and each of these plants grow up the 
same as the main plant, however, the main 
plant will ripen 15 to 26 days earlier than the 
sucker plants. Lb., 20c, postpaid. Ask for 
quantity prices. 
Milo 
DWARF YELLOW MILO—A dwarf improve¬ 
ment of the old Standard Yellow Milo. Grows 
3 to 4 feet high, while the old variety grew 
8 to 10 feet. Dwarf Milo is quite similar to 
the Standard Milo, but the heads all invariably 
bend over from the weight. It is not unusual 
for a head of Dwarf Milo to weigh one pound. 
The feeding value is the same as Yellow Milo. 
This variety seems to be more popular through¬ 
out the western plans of Kansas and Okla¬ 
homa. Lb., 20c, postpaid. 
Field Seed prices fiuctuate considerably and 
for this reason we do not quote prices in our 
catalogue. We issue a field seed price list 
throughout the planting season with lowest 
market prices and we will be glad to mail list 
on request. 
Root Crops for Stock Feeding—Mangel Beets 
CL'LTURE. The Mangels may be grown in 
almost any soil, but deep loams are necessary 
for heavy yields of the long varieties. When 
well grown the roots give immense yields of 
very valuable food for stock. Plant early in 
the spring in drills two to three feet apart and 
cover the seed about 1% inches. Cultivate fre¬ 
quently. When about three inches high begin 
thinning and continue at intervals until the 
rotts stand 8 incnes apart in the I'ows. Use a 
packet to 25 feet of drill; an ounce to 100 feet; 
6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED—The roots of this 
variety grow to a larger size than those of 
the other sorts. They are well formed, with 
flesh of a blood-red color. Very nutritious. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^ lb., 20c; lb., 50c, post¬ 
paid; by freight or express, lb., 40c; 10 lbs., 
$3.50. 
GIANT HALF SUGAR MANGEU—This is a 
hybrid, or cross between the Mammoth Long 
Red and Sugar Beet, and in feeding value is 
far superior to either. As heavy a cropper as 
the mangels, sweeter and much relished by 
cattle and hogs. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^ Ib., 
20c; lb., 50c, postpaid; by freight or express, 
lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50.
