NICHOLSON’S ASSSh*, AND FEstep GRAIN SORGHUMS — 
Nicholson’s Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghums 
Principally used for grain, although the leaves are also used for forage. The stalk does not contain much sugar like Saccharine Sor- 
ghums. All are being used to good advantage for ensilage purposes. They have produced excellent results despite scant rainfall, where 
corn made a failure. 


Ajax 
A hybrid variety of Feterita and Kafir par- 
entage. Developed in Texas and recommended 
for trial in sections having annual rainfall _of 
30 inches or more. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger lots, 
Atlas Sorgo 
A cross between Kafir Corn and Sourless 
Sorgo, resembles Kafir except it has a more 
Saccharine content. Has proved valuable in 
Western Kansas for its ability to withstand dry 
weather. Heads are erect and resemble Kafir 
except not as long. Plant 7 to 10 pounds per 
acre. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger lots. 
Darso 
Low growing, heavily foliaged with a large 
stalk, usually tinged with red. Its straight stalk 
is sweet and juicy, showing by chemical anal- 
ysis to contain 12.76 per cent saccharine in the 
juice, and analysis of the grain shows that the 
composition is very similar to that of Kafir. It 
matures earlier than Kafir, which fact has 
much to do with its drouth resistance. Darso 
makes excellent silage, and can be used as a 
grain, forage or silage crop. It has given splen- 
did results in Texas. Requires 110 days to full 
maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
Egyptian Wheat 
(Shallu) 
It is very productive, making an enormous 
yield of grain and fodder. Shallu or Egyptian 
Wheat should be sown in drills three feet 
apart, using from 5 to 10 pounds of seed per 
acre. Requires 120 days to full maturity. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 
Feterita 
It is drouth resistant and is therefore espe- 
cially well suited as a crop under conditions of 
limited moisture—one of the best grain sor- 
ghums for silage, perhaps, for use in the humid 
regions in the State. 


Grohoma 
A heavy grain yielding sorghum and the 
head does not shatter easily. Requires 132 
days. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not pre- 
paid, 20 lbs., $1.50. Please ask for prices in 
larger lots. 
Nicholson's Selected Hegari 
Purity Brand Fancy 
It makes an enormous yield of grain in most 
sections of the State and is more desirable for 
forage or silage than either Kafir or Feterita. 
It-is dwarf in habit of growth, producing large 
heads of white grains that do not shatter. Plant 
8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Stands dry weather well. 
Requires 114 days to full maturity. Lb., 25c; 2 
lb., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.20. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Black Hull White Kafir 
It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making 
straight, upright growth, has a strong stem 
with enormous, wide leaves. The stalks keep 
green and are brittle, making an excellent 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of feed. 
Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre. For fodder, sow one bushel per acre, 
broadcast. Requires 120 days to mature. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$1.00. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
Blicht-Resistant Dwarf 
Yellow Milo Maize 
This strain of Dwarf Yellow Milo Maize pos- 
sesses all the qualities of the ordinary vari- 
ety with the addition of one good and important 
quality, that of being blight-resistant. It grows 
to approximately the same height, is very pro- 
ductive 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. Requires about 104 
days to mature. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.10. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 

Requires 105 days to full maturity. Lb., 20c; 
2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. Please ask for prices in 
larger quantities.
