Bibs YIELDS of Forage, Grain yruye 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Kaffir Corn yields heavy crops. It adapts it- 
self toa wide variety of soils; a long dry spell 
may stop its growth, but it starts again with 
the first tain. The grain as well as the plant 
makes a fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and 
pigeons. With cow peas, sow broadcast one 
peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of peas; sown 
alone, 3 pecks to a bushel an acre broadcast; 
in drills 6 to 8 pounds an acre in 314-foot rows. 
Plant from after the ground is thoroughly 
warm till early in June. Postpaid, 1 lb., 25¢; 5 
lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.20. 
YELLOW MILO MAIZE 
_A wonderfully drought-resistant non-saccha- 
Tine sorghum that makes a thick succulent 
growth of nutritious milk-producing forage. It 
stools from the ground and shoots from the 
joints. The plant makes fine feed and ensilage, 
especially when mixed with soybeans and 
cowpeas, and the grain is fattening for cattle 
and poultry. For fodder and ensilage cut when 
in the dough state; at this stage it has a feed- 
ing value practically equal to corn. Any good 
corn land will bring milo maize either for 
green feed, dry fodder or for the grain. It 
grows on all soils from sandy to heavy clay 
loam. Plant in 3¥2-foot rows after the ground 
is thoroughly warm, and give it the same cul- 
tivation you would corn. Six to eight pounds 
will plant an acre. Postpaid, 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
70c; 10 lbs., $1.20. 
EGYPTIAN WHEAT OR 
SHALLU 
Of special value in dry season; few forage 
plants are more drought-resistant. It grows tall, 
stools out three to six stalks from a single 
toot. Cut when at the dough stage, and a@ sec- 
ond cutting may be had. For cattle, horses, 
sheep, hogs and poultry, the grain may be fed 
either whole or ground. Its long, graceful 
heads make beautiful house decorations. Plant 
in drills 3 feet apart, using 10 pounds of seed 
per acre; or broadcast, using from 2 to 4 
bushels. Postpaid, 1 bl., 35¢; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 
lbs., $2.20. 
SYRUP CANE 
HONEY RIBBON CANE. For making syrup 
this variety is excellent, has no equal. It has 
been yielding from one hundred to two hun- 
dred gallons per acre. It makes a syrup of 
bright amber color and of fine flavor. The 
stalks grow from 12 to 15 feet high, the seed 
are carried in a sprangling type head, are red, 
rather flat shaped and most of the hulls re- 
main on the seed when threshed. With its 
large foliage makes one of the best varieties 
for ensilage. Plant as early in May as possible. 
Eight to 10 pounds of seed will drill one acre. 
Cultivate like cotton, leaving plants about 10 
to 12 inches apart in the row. Postpaid, 1 lb., 
30c; 5 Ibs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.50. 
SUGAR DRIP. It makes a large, juicy and 
succulent growth. It will yield about 65 per 
cent of the weight of the cane in juice. One 
of the most desirable syrup varieties. 8 to 10 
pounds of seed will drill one acre. Postpaid, 1 
lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.20. 
HEGARI 
Leaves are broad, long and numerous. The 
uniform and upright seed heads of white 
grains do not shatter. The fodder is relished by 
all live stock because the stalks are very 
sweet and juicy. Grows 4 to 5 feet high. Ma- 
tures in 85 to 110 days. Close spacing of 2 to 4 
inches apart in the row is recommended for 
forage. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Also sown 
broadcast for hay at the rate of 40 to 50 lbs. 
per acre. Stands dry weather well. Postpaid, 1 
Ib., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.20. 
GROHOMA 
This new forage and grain crop, after thor- 
ough trials has been found very satisfactory. 
Stock of all kinds like it, in fact they eat every 
particle of the stalk, leaves and head. Plant 
from April lst to July lst in good soil. Make 
rows 4 feet apart, drop seed 12 inches. Since 
it stools considerably, very little seed is re- 
quired. Plant 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. Post- 
paid, 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.20.

FODDER CANE 
EARLY AMBER CANE. One of the earliest 
sorghums and furnishes a large yield of most 
nutritious forage which may be fed either 
green or cured. If grown with cow peas or 
soy beans the quality of the hay is improved 
and a more balanced ration may be had. The 
proportions recommended are 15 pounds Early 
Amber Cane, one-half bushel of soybeans and 
one bushel of cow peas to the acre broadcast. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 
1% bushels to the acre; 8 to 10 pounds plants 
an acre in 3l% to 4-foot rows. Postpaid, 1 Ib., 
20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 95c. 
EARLY ORANGE CANE. About 10 days later 
than Early Amber Cane, but makes a taller 
and more leafy growth. It is recommended for 
fodder, of which it yields immense crops, 
frequently two cuttings a season, and stooling 
out thicker after cutting. It may be grown with 
soybeans and cow peas as recommended for 
Early Amber Cane and the quantity to plant 
an acre is the same. Sow 1 to 114 bushels broad- 
cast or 8 to 10 pounds in 34 to 4-foot rows to 
Pa acre. Postpaid, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 
Se. 
RED TOP or SUMAC. Grown extensively in 
Middle Tennessee. Succeeds well in that sec- 
tion. Very sweet and one of the best for hay. 
Sow 1 to 114 bushels broadcast or 8 to 10 
pounds in 314 to 4-foot rows to an acre. Post- 
paid, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 Ibs., 95c. 
SAGRAIN 
Grows on land you can’t plant to other 
crops; thrives in low places that usually 
drown out. Produces from 8 to 20 tons silage, 
or if left to ripen will produce from 50 to 75 
bushels grain (about double corn yield), and 
4 to 8 tons cured hay; has heads like Kaffir. 
Usually weighs about 7 ounces and the aver- 
age ear corn weighs 8 ounces. In feeding 
value has 90 per cent value corn; can be fed 
to hogs, chickens, cattle and work stock. Plant 
as early in the spring as frost will allow. Will 
then be ready to harvest when the crops are 
laid by, usually along about August Ist. Splen- 
did in combination with Biloxi Soybeans. Eight 
to ten pounds will seed an acre, planted in 3- 
to 314-foot rows. Postpaid, 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 
10 lbs., $1.20. 

Special Warning On 
Syrup Cane 
NON-WARRANTY. Owing to the pecu- 
liar hybridization of syrup cane varie- 
ties, it is impossible to quarantee any 
of the varieties here listed. We have se- 
lected all the syrup cane varieties on 
our list with best possible care, but at 
the same time do not guarantee that 
they will come true. 
All orders for syrup cane varieties 
are therefore accepted only on these 
conditions.
