OPEN POLLINATED ENSILAGE TYPES OF CORN 
IMPROVED LEflMING 
The Learning is the oldest distinct variety of corn, having been 
originated in 182 6. It is a standard yellow corn, well adapted to 
northern and central Illinois and the most of Iowa, and similar lati¬ 
tudes. In fact, it is grown with success in southern Wisconsin and 
is in great demand in the North for silage. Not quite as large and 
not quite as late as Reid’s Yellow Dent. 
Prices, Nebraska grown: By mail: 1 lb., 26c; 5 lbs., 75c, postpaid. 
By freight: 1/2 Pk-. 30c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.50; 3 bus. at $1.45; 10 
bus. at $1.40. GipiNT (-OB ENSILRGE 
A very large pure white corn with red cob. It grows the largest, 
doubtless, of any variety of corn and is the favmrite for planting in 
the North for a large growth of green fodder. Does not ordinarily 
mature ears in the North. 
Prices, Missouri grown: By mail, 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c, postpaid.

$1.45; 10 bus. at $1.40. 
SANFORD’S WHITE FLINT 
A heavy yielding, 8-rowed flint with ears 12 to 15 inches long 
and large, broad kernels of a flinty white color.

paid. By freight; Vr pk., 40c; pk., 70c; bu., $2.60; 3 bus. at $2.45;

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN 
A fodder grade of Stowell’s Evergreen Sweet Corn. Exactly the 
same as our garden Stowell’s Evergreen except not hand picked. See 
page 39. 
Prices: By mail, 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c, postpaid. By freight: 
1/2 pk.. 40c; pk., 60c; bu. (46 lbs.), $2.00; 3 bus. at $1.95. 
OLDS’ MILLET 
Reid’s Yellow Dent, a Popular Large Yellow Silage Corn in the North. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 
Eeid’s Yellow Dent is doubtless more largely grown throughout the 
Corn Belt than all other varieties of Yellow Corn combined. It is of a 
light golden color; ears long and solid, shelling 88 per cent grain and 
often better. It is the favorite for exhibition purposes. Because of its 
very large growth it is a very profitable variety to plant in the North 
for silo and in a very favorable season the ears will fully mature. It will 
make a larger tonnage for the silo than anything else we offer except 
Giant Red Cob Ensilage but Red Cob will not ordinarily give you ears. 
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 Com¬ 
mon Millet and is well adapted to the 
North. 
Our stock is very fine—clean, plump and 
bright. 
Prices: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c, 
postpaid. By freight: 10 lbs., 75c; 100 
lbs., $4.60. 
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: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs. for 
5£c, postpaid. By freight: 10 lbs., 80c; 100 
lbs., $5.00. 
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 mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs. for 65c, postpaid. By 
freight: 10 lbs., 70c; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
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: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs. for 55c, postpaid. By 
freight: 10 lbs., 80c; 100 lbs., $5.00. 
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 white instead of yellow. Some farmers prefer 
it to German. 
Prices: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs. for 55c, postpaid. By 
freight; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $3.00. 
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: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs. for 55c, postpaid. By 
freight: 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $3.00.

bus. at $1.45; 10 bus. 
Sudan Grass. 
—63— 
A seed treatment that serves as a protection to 
the seed against rotting in cold damp ground. A 
better stand of plants produces an increased yield 
at harvest time. Easily applied by mixing dry at 
the rate of two ounces to a bushel of seed. Small 
quantities can be dusted in an old milk can by plac¬ 
ing seed in the can and shaking thoroughly for 
three to four minutes. All containers should be 
thoroughly clean and dried before and after using. 
Seed treated before planting time should be stored 
in a warm dry place. Prices: 1 lb., 75c; by mall, 
80c; 5 lbs., $3.00; by mail, $3.25. By freight: 25- 
lb. drum, $12.50; 100-lb. drum, $45.00. 
FIELD SEEDS BY MAIL 
Any quantity of field seed up to 70 lbs. can be 
sent by mail. If more seed is wanted than is quoted 
postpaid, take the freight price on quantity desired 
and add postage according to postage table on order 
blank. 
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. Y^ields 
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 
strictlv a warm weather crop and if put in too 
early the seed will rot. Sow not less than 35 pounds 
of s*eed 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 o'f 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.
