BUCHANAN’S CANE SEED AND 
FORAGE CROPS 
CULTURE—Pliant cane seed on rich lapd during April, May and 
June in 34-foot rows at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Cul- 
tivate like corn, leaving plants about 3 to 4 inches apart in the 
row. Grain Sorghums usually produce 30 to 50 bushels of seed per 
acre, and Syrup varieties 125 to 200 gallons of syrup per acre. Cut 
for making syrup just as seéds ripen. 
CANE SEED, SACCHARINE TYPES FOR FORAGE 
1195—TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON—The tallest and heaviest 
producing silage and fodder cane frequently yielding 18 to 
20 tons per acre. The unusually large, strong stalks are sup- 
ported by a vigorous, deep root system that prevents blow- 
ing down. 
Price—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1198—EARLY AMBER—Furnishes a large yield of most 
nutritious forage which may be fed green or cured. If 
planted early it will yield 2 cuttings a season. 
1197—-EARLY ORANGE—Yields immense crops of leafy, 
sweet forage. Slightly later than amber but higher in food 
value. 
1199—RED TOP—Very leafy, sweeter; has high feeding value 
and is very drouth resistant. Especially desirable to plant 
with corn which matures at the same time for ge. 
Price, 3 above varieties—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.25; 
15 Ibs., $3.00 
CANE SEED, NON-SACCHARINE TYPES FOR FORAGE 
1212—SAGRAIN  (303-37)—We offer. the most improved 
strain, selected for its uniformity, heavy grain production 
and strong, stocky stalks. It does well on heavy soil; thrives 
under the same adverse conditions as sorghum, and produces 
8 to 12 tons per acre, one to two tons of which is grain, which 
has nine-tenths the feeding value of corn. Fine for forage 
and ensilage, as it is quite juicy and grows an abundance of 
broad, long leaves. Sagrain is relished by mules, cows, hogs 
and chickens. 
Price—l Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.75; 15 Ibs., $3.75 
1217—GROHOMA—A very desirable fodder cane producing 
heavy crops of grain and an abundant supply of fodder that 
is very rich in protein. Stalks and fodder contain much more 
sugar than most grain sorghums and on account of this the 
stock eat every poe Since it stools and branches freely 
it requires only 5 lbs. of seed to plant an acre. Very drouth 
resistant. 
Price—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1210—WHITE KAFFIR—This variety has become more valu- 
able every year because of its drouth-resisting qualities. 
Grows 4 to 5 feet high, is very stocky and leafy; valuable for 
forage and grain. Plant from April to July, in rows 3 feet 
os drilling seed thinly. It adapts itself to a wide variety 
of soils. A long drouth may stop its growth but it starts 
again with the first rain, seldom failing to produce an abun- 
dant crop. 
Price—l Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1213—YELLOW MILO MAIZE—Drouth resistant, yery pro- 
ductive and makes an enormous amount of nutritious grain 
relished by all kinds of stock. Has 
immense, compact heads and the 
seeds are large. May be cut two or 
three times if desired for green 
forage. Early maturing and adapted 
to most soils, 
Price—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 
Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1215—HEGARI—It makes an enor- 
mous yield of grain even with lit- 
tle moisture. Especially desirable 
for forage or silage since the stalks 
are sweet and juicy, leaves broad, 
long and numerous. It is dwarf, 
producing large heads that do not 
shatter. Plant 8 to 10 pounds per 
acre. Stands dry weather extreme- 
ly well and is one of the best grain 
and forage crops. 
Price—1 Ilb., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 
Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1214—ATLAS SORGO—A fiarge, 
drouth resistant, heavy yielding, 
semi-sweet forage sorghum. Since 
it produces an unbelievable amount 
of grain and a tremendous tonnage 
of leaves and stalk of above the 
average in food value, we recom- 
mend this cane without reservation 
for silage. It is earlier maturing 
than our best native silage canés 
and corn. 
Price—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 
Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 


Buchanan’s Honey Drip Syrup Cane 
SPECIAL ATTENTION 
NON-WARRANTY—Owing to the peculiar hybridization of 
all cane varieties, it is impossible to guarantee that they will 
come true. 
All orders for cane varieties are therefore accepted only on 
these conditions. 
1194—HONEY DRIP SYRUP_CANE—Deservedly the most 
popular syrup cane in the South. Medium height, strong 
sta arhiclt do not blow down easily. A heavy yielding 
type frequently producing 125 to 200 gallons per acre of 
medium amber colored syrup of mild, delicious flavor. Be- 
cause of its true, pronounced molasses flavor, this syrup 
easily finds a ready market and since pure Honey Drip seed 
commands a premium, you will find this an excellent cash 
crop.

MILLET 
1185—TENNESSEE GROWN GERMAN MILLET (Big 
Headed Type)—Broadcast 50 pounds to acre. German Millet 
makes a trae grown, easily cured and large yielding, 
nutritious hay crop. It comes so quickly that it can be sovn 
after wheat, oats or other early crops are harvested and 
léaves the land clean. Millet should be cut while in bloom. 
S a summer catch-crop, it has few equals, for it makes a 
crop in about sixty days. 
Price—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.25; 15 Ibs., $3.00 
1188S—PEARL OR CAT-TAIL MILLET—Will grow 10 to 12 
feet high, but for the greatest amount of green feed it should

mously. Gives three or four cuttings a season, d keeps 
on growing until frost. It is highly nutritious. 
be planted until the ground is thoroughly warm and does 
well even on poor soil and in dry seasons. Plant 5 pounds to 
the acre, in drills 3 feet apart.
