GOOD FIELD CROPS BEGIN WITH GOOD SEED 
Nicholson's ''Purity Brand'' 
Fancy Double Dwarf 
Yellow Milo 
This variety retains all the good qualities 
of its parent, the Dwarf Yellow Milo, and 
does not grow quite as tall. Has immense 
heads, and the seeds are large. It is quick 
te mature, and may be planted late in the 
season as a “‘catch-crop,” and have plenty of 
time to make before frost. When planted 
in the early spring it will mature a crop 
early, and after the heads are cut the stalk 
will branch out and produce additional cut- 
tings of heads. The compact stalk makes har- 
vesting much easier. Extra fancy seed, large, 
bright. Requires 101 days to mature. Lb., 25c; 
2 Ibs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 Ibs., 
$1.10. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
DWARF YELLOW MILO 
It is becoming more popular every year, 
is very productive, and makes an enormous 
amount of the finest kind of grain relished by 
all kinds of stock. Sow in rows three feet 
apart, 5 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. Re- 
quires 104 days to mature. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs, 
35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 Ibs., $1.00. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities. 
QUADROON MILO 
A cross of Milo Maize and Kafir Corn, mak- 
ing it a good dry weather crop. Makes good 
forage but does not yield as heavy as Hegari. 
A heavy grain producer. Early maturing. Lb., 
25c; 2 Ibs., 45c, postpaid. Please ask for prices 
in larger lots. 
SCHROCK KAFIR 
(SAGRAIN) 
Fine for forage and ensilage, as it is quite 
sweet and grows an abundance of broad, long 
leaves. It is a wonderful grain to stool out, 
not unusual for one seed to send up 6 to 10 
stalks, each making a fine head of large, 
light brown grains, which make excellent stock 
and poultry feed. Drill at the rate of 3 to 5 
pounds per acre. Requires 115 days to mature. 
Lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 45c, postpaid. Crop short. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities.

Purity Brand Millet 



Dwarf Yellow Milo 
MILLET 
We have made a specialty of Millet seed, 
recleaning it thoroughly with the latest and 
most improved machinery. Our Purity Brand 
Fancy Big Head German Millet is cultivated, 
Southern grown, and is the very finest grade 
that we can buy. If you grow Millet for seed 
and want to produce large heads, you should 
sow about 5 to 10 pounds per acre in drills, 
and cultivate like a crop of corn. If planted 
for hay, sow at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds 
per acre, broadcast. Any reasonably good land 
will produce satisfactory crops of Millet. Sow 
in April, May or June. 
NICHOLSON’S PURITY FANCY BIG GER- 
MAN. This is the finest quality of Millet that 
we handle, and we have an enormous demand 
for it every year; numbers of our customers 
will plant no other kind; it makes the largest 
heads of any Millet we have ever seen grow. 
If you plant it once you will never plant any 
other kind. It grows very rank and is best 
variety for hay or fodder. On good rich soil 
it will make a growth of 4 to 5 feet high, 
and hay is so tender that if cut at the right 
stage, which is when in full bloom, even the 
hogs will eat the cured hay greedily. A yield 
of five tons per acre is nothing unusual. Lb., 
25c; 2 Ibs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 
Ibs., $1.50. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
FANCY GERMAN. This is our second best 
grade of seed. Lb., 20c; 2 Ibs., 35c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 Ibs., $1.00. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 
PEARL OR CATTAIL. (Pencillaria). This 
makes a most nutritious and valuable con- 
tinuous cutting forage plant. It will grow 10 
to 12 feet high, but cutting can be com- 
menced when it has attained a height of 8 to 
4 feet, when it will stool out enormously and 
make a rapid growth, and it can be cut this 
way three or four times in a season. Sow 
five pounds of seed per acre in drills three 
feet apart, or sow broadcast at the rate of 
20 to 80 pounds per acre. Pearl or Cattail 
Millet should be planted before May. Lb., 30c; 
2 Ibs., 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 Ibs., 
$1.50. 
HOG, MANITOBA OR PROSO. This variety 
grows larger than the common kind of Millet, 
and is valuable as poultry and stock food. 
Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
20 Ibs., $1.35. Write for prices in larger quan- 
tities.
