Grain Sorghums 
SELECTED DWARF MILO MAIZE DOUBLE DWARF MILO MAIZE 
Since the cost per acre of Milo Maize Seed is very small it 
certainly pays to secure the best seed obtainable. Where the 
soil is properly prepared it requires but 3 to 4 lbs. per acre, 
therefore, the cost of seed would be but a few cents, hence 
Milo Maize Seed should be considered entirely from the quality 
standpoint. Yield of grain per acre is what you want and you 
cannot afford to experiment on strains that are being grown 
by inexperienced growers. Being of uniform height it may be 
harvested by machinery, but if harvested by hand the large 
heads reduce the cost of harvesting. It grows to a height of 
about 4 feet, is of stooling habit, and individual hills of 5 to 7 
stalks in a stool each producing a large compact head are not 
uncommon throughout the field. We produce our seed maize 
in isolated districts where there are no other sorghum crops 
grown near and by hill and head selection each year, the strain 
is kept uniform and true. Considering again that it requires 
but a few cents per acre to plant the very best Milo Maize 
Seed, there appears to be no good reason why the planter 
should experiment with untried strains. If you are going to 
plant Maize, let us send you a sample of our seed and quote 
prices on quantity. Lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. Write for quantity

EGYPTIAN CORN 
This variety of Red Milo Maize is very dwarf, growing only 
2 to 2% feet high and has been developed especially for con¬ 
venience and economy in harvesting. It can be cut and har¬ 
vested by machinery in the same manner as heading grain. 
Very profitable crop to grow, the average yield being two tons 
per acre. Sow at the rate of 4 to 5 lbs. per acre from April 
until middle of June. Lb. 10c; 5 lbs. 85c. Write for quantity 
price. 
WHITE MILO MAIZE 
Grows same as Dwarf Red Milo and the kernels are almost 
pure white. Lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. 
EGYPTIAN CORN 
This is also one of the drought resisting non-saccharine 
crops. The grain is produced in large compact heads and the 
seed is flat and pure white. This seed is used very extensively 
as a chicken feed and also ground into flour which is used for 
edible purposes. Plant the same as Milo Maize. Price per lb. 
10c; 10 lbs. 85c. 
HONEY SORGHUM 
Is the prize variety without a doubt. All growers every year 
are loud in its praise. Honey Sorghum is a selection from 
one of the earliest introductions, and has been regarded with 
special favor for ensilage and for syrup purposes. It is the 
best variety for silage purposes, having slender leafy stalks, 
varying in height from 8 to 12 feet. It is medium late matur¬ 
ing and has decidedly tender stalks, and is important from a 
forage standpoint. Imagine an average of 27 tons or over 
per acre. The method of seeding will be determined largely 
by the purpose for which it is grown. When the crop is to 
be used for fodder or silage, it is usually planted in rows 3 to 
3% feet apart, using up to 5 pounds of seed per acre. Price 
per lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. Write for special prices in larger 
quantities. 
EARLY AMBER 
Furnishes a large field of most nutritive forage which can 
be fed either green or cured,, and will yield two or three cut¬ 
tings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. It grows 
10 to 12 feet high. Sow broadcast for forage at the rate of 15 
pounds per acre. Per lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. 
Cover Crop Seeds 
MELILOTUS INDICA 
One of the best legumes for green manuring in the orchards 
of California, because it may be planted late in the fall after 
all crops have been harvested, will grow all winter with only 
the season’s rainfall. It prevents erosion during the rainy 
season, is easily plowed under, is richer as a fertilizer and if 
allowed to stand until July will prevent much of the June 
drop. Melilotus Indica is the best legume with which to build 
up your soil during the rainy season for the summer crop to 
follow, particularly potatoes and melons. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
Per lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. Ask for quantity price. 
CANADIAN FIELD PEA 
When it is too late to plant Vetch or Melilotus plant Can¬ 
adian Peas. They may be planted as late as January and yet 
be plowed under in time for planting a summer crop. If your 
summer crop, like melons and potatoes, is not harvested until 
November, plant Canadian Peas. Neither is the Canadian Pea 
inferior to other cover crops when planted at the right time, 
which is from September to February. If the soil is too wet 
after planting the seed will rot. Broadcast 50 to 60 lbs. per 
acre. Per lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. Write for quantity price. 
PURPLE VETCH 
The chief value of Purple Vetch lies in its rapid growth. It 
does not have the same tendency to stop growing when the 
thermometer registers around 26 degrees as do many other 
varieties of cover crop. However, it does not stand quite as 
much cold as Melilotus Indica. It is one of the leading cover 
crops for planting during the rainy season in citrus orchards 
and for this purpose 60 lbs. should be sown to the acre. It is 
also a valuable crop for hay or silage. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
Write for quantity price. 
COMMON VETCH 
This variety also makes an excellent cover crop for fall 
sowing and is commonly sown with oats, wheat, rye or barley. 
When grown together the vetch is held off the ground and 
at the same time fertilizes the grain crop. For this intention 
sow 30 lbs. grain and 20 lbs. vetch to acre, or if planted alone, 
60 lbs. of vetch per acre. Per lb 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. Write for 
quantity price. 
BROAD WINDSOR BEAN 
Sometimes called Horse Beans, grows upright on a single 
stem bearing a profusion of large well-filled pods. The roots 
are enormously productive of nitrogen. It will withstand 28 
degrees temperature; therefore, may be planted as late as 
September for best results as a winter cover crop. Sow 60 to 
80 lbs. per acre. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. Write for quantity 
prices. 
WILD BLACK MUSTARD 
(Brassica Nigra.) Used to some extent for a cover crop. Sow 
8 tp 10 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 85c. 
WHITE MUSTARD 
(Brassica alba.) This white seed mustard has yellow flowers 
and is thus sometimes called Yellow Mustard. It grows very 
rapidly and is now used extensively as a cover crop. Sow 10 
to 15 lbs. per acre. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
TRIESTE MUSTARD 
(Brassica juncea.) The most commonly used mustard. Al¬ 
though not so rapid in growth as the white mustard it makes 
a heavier tonnage. Sow 6 lbs. per acre. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.75.
