I Millets 
^ ' Millets are adapted to regions of light rainfall and hot 
^ weather. Used principally for forage and valuable where 
i’ Timothy is an uncertain crop. The hay is fed to dairy 
V cows and sheep, and ranks well above Timothy. 
F HUNGARIAN (Hungarian Grass). An excellent food for 
( horses when cured. Each root sends up several slender 
[■ stems which often branch. The leaves grow upright, 
rather narrow. Heads are borne erect or nearly so, 
about four inches long, dark purple in color. Price, 
i' lb., 12e; 10 lbs., 80c; 100 lbs., $7.00. 
GOLDEN. This variety is extensively used throughout 
the United States. It is sown at the same time and 
at the same rate per acre as the common Millet. 
Grows more vigorous, gives a much larger yield of 
hay than common Millet. Price, lb., 12c; 10 lbs., 
70c; 100 lbs., $6.00. 
JAPANESE (Panicum frumentacea). It is entirely distinct 
from all other Millets. Grows from 6 to 9 feet high, 
stands up well and yields enormous crops. When cured 
it makes good hay and in quality is superior to corn 
fodder. Relished by all kinds of stock and is rich in 
milk-producing qualities. Price, lb., 12c; 10 lbs., 90c; 
100 lbs., $8.00. 
Soy or Soja Beans 
BLACK WILSON. Medium size, black seed. Considered 
the best all-around variety for the North. Of rather 
upright growth, with a good amount of foliage and 
a slight tendency to vine on fertile soil. Matures seeds 
in 125 days and is ready for cutting in 110 days. A 
heavy seed producer. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.60. 
MANCHU. Matures in about 1 10 days and is the most 
popular early variety. Plants erect and bushy, pro¬ 
ducing large crops of dry forage and seed. Seed light 
yellow with a black scar. Pk., 70c; bu., $2.50. 
Vetch 
SPRING VETCH OR SPRING TARE. Grown for soiling 
or sown with oats for feeding green. Sow, if alone, 
100 pounds to the acre. Price, lb., 15c; 10 lbs., or 
over, 10c per lb. 
WINTER, SAND OR HAIRY VETCH (Vicia villosa). 
The branches are from 3 to 6 feet long, covered with 
fine hairs. It is extremely hardy. Sowings may be made 
from August 15th to October 1st, or in the spring 
from April 15th to May 15th. For fall sowings we 
advise mixing with Mammoth Red Clover or Rye, 
these giving a support for the vines. Sow, if alone, 
60 pounds to the acre, or with Rye, 45 pounds of 
Vetch and 30 pounds of Rye to the acre. Price, lb., 
22c; 10 lbs., $1.70; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Wheaf 
MARQUIS (Spring Wheat). It has outyielded all other 
spring Wheats grown under the same conditions of 
soil and climate, the increased yield being up to 10 
bushels per acre; is flinty and dark in color, being 
almost dark red. It is a beardless variety, having a 
smooth, yellow chaff. Price, pk., 70c; bu., $2.50. 
KLONDYKE (Winter Wheat). Sow early in the fall 
for a good firm root to survive our New England 
winters. Winter Wheat makes an excellent green 
feed, coming very early in the spring and staying in 
condition for feed much longer than spring or winter 
rye. A productive, bald, white variety, large and 
plump. Ask for price. 
Ross’ Genuine Eureka Ensilage Corn 
PRICE OF EUREKA CORN 
FOR 1940: 
Bags included 
V 2 pk., 40c; pk., 70c; 
Vi bu., $1.30; bu., (56 
lbs.), $2.50; 10 bus. or 
over, $2.40 per bu., in our 
trade-marked bags. 
HAS A RECORD OF PRODUCING MORE 
TONS PER ACRE THAN ANY OTHER 
ENSILAGE VARIETY 
To get the greatest yield, we 
recommend planting from V 2 
to 3 / 4 . bushel of Eureka Corn 
per acre in drills 3 feet apart 
and suggest cultivation as long 
as it is possible to get through the corn. 
With the quick start which Eureka Corn 
will make, it is almost always possible to 
cultivate entirely with horse or tractor. 
The Eureka is our own intro¬ 
duction, being first placed on 
the market by us forty-nine 
years ago and we still offer the 
genuine Eureka, which is far 
superior to many varieties which 
are sold under this same name. 
For the protection of the planter. 
Eureka comes put up in trade- 
marked bags and our sugges¬ 
tion is that you accept your 
Eureka Seed Corn in no other 
package. 
Hardy and rugged character¬ 
istics; Eureka Corn germinates 
surprisingly well in cold, wet 
springs, and today farmers 
everywhere heartily approve 
planting the Ross Genuine va¬ 
riety of Eureka Corn. 
Ross Bros. Co., Worcester, Mass. 
Gentlemen: Portland, Oregon 
We were glad to have your letter 
in regard to the Eureka Ensilage 
Corn, but California has nothing on 
us. It grows from 18 to 20 feet on 
the average in a 15-acre field. It has grown 
24 feet tall and hasn't stopped growing yet. 
Can you beat this record in Massachusetts? 
We will send you an order for Eureka later. 
Yours very truly.
