SEEDSMEN SINCE 1879 - 
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 

PEARL, or 
CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Also called Pencillaria. 
If allowed to attain its full height 
Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 12 feet 
high, but for the greatest amount 
of green feed it should be cut when 
8 to 4 feet high. It will then stool 
out enormously, and during warm 
weather will grow with wonderful 
luxuriance, give three or four cut- 
tings a season, and keeps on growing 
right up to frost. It does well even 
on poor land, and surprisingly well 
in dry seasons. All kinds of stock 
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it 
is highly nutritious. It is a warm 
weather plant, and should not be 
planted till the ground is thorough- 
ly warm otherwise the seeds will 
not germinate. Plant 5 lbs. to the 
acre in drills 3 feet apart. 
BROWN TOP MILLET 
Seed relished by quail and turkeys. 
Excellent bird cover. Will draw 
doves for many miles. Similar to 
German millet, but is taller, has 
larger heads, and produces more 
seed, hay and grazing. Can be grazed 
constantly in dry summers, starting 
when 38 or 4 inches tall, one plant 
stooling out about 80 stems and is 
relished by poultry and all livestock. 
Furnishes more hay than Sudan 
grass, equal to timothy in feeding 
value, allows several cuttings, yield- 
ing 5 or 6 tons per acre. Broadcast 
20 lbs. per acre from April to July. 
GERMAN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a bumper crop of easily 
cured hay in 60 days. One of the easiest grown summer catch crops 
when feed is short. It smothers out weeds, leaving ground in fine 
condition for fall crops. Drill 50 lbs. per acre on harrowed wheat 
or oat land from May through July. Apply 300 lbs. per acre of 
WOOD’S STANDARD 4-12-4 FERTILIZER. Thin seeding makes 
coarse stems and poor quality hay. Broadcasting 25 lbs. with a 
bushel of cow peas produces a higher yield of more nutritious hay 
and is better for the land. Cut when the millet blooms. After that 
woody fibre forms, making the hay coarse and unpalatable, 
Wood's Quail Planting Mixture 
Plant it to produce permanent year round feed for partridges, 
wild turkeys, pheasants, doves, ete, Also to cut down the feed bill 
of domestic fowls. For quail plant in long strips next to cover (to 
attract and multiply coveys); for turkeys and pheasants larger 
strips or patches; for doves, one to two-acre plots, The mixture 
includes practically all cultivated crops relished by game birds 
for quick growth and to keep them in plump, vigorous condition, 
Composed of sesbania, bene, Florida beggarweed, brown top and 
German millet, alyce clover, sericea and Korean lespedezas, cow 
peas, laredo soy beans, shallu, kaffir corn, sudan grass, sorghum 
and buckwheat. Sow 15 lbs, per acre in cultivated rows, or 30 lbs. 
broadcast after the ground warms in early summer, Apply 300 lbs. 
per acre of WOOD’S STANDARD 4-12-4 FERTILIZER. Will re- 
seed itself, furnishing a permanent growth, but it is better to disk, 
harrow and sow every year. The legumes in this mixture will en- 
rich the soil,
