THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO. _ -:- 
Dry Land Grain and. 
Forage Seeds 
Grain Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per 
acre; for grain, 5 to 6 pounds in rows and cultivate the same 
as Corn. Forage is not quite as palatable for stock as the 
Sweet Sorghums. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwarf Black Hull)—Usually grows 
5 to 6 feet tall im the dry land areas. Heads are 
heavy and compact, 10 to 14 inches long with black 
hulls and white seeds. The grain makes good feed 
for poultry and cattle. 
HEGARI—This is one of the earliest maturing of the 
grain sorghums. It is very similar to Kafir. The 
grain is nearly equal to corn in feeding value. The 
stalks are leafy and make excellent fodder. 
MILO (Sconer or Sixty Day)—A non-saccharine sor- 
ghum of high feeding value. This is the plant that 
ig being so largely raised for its grain in the dry 
plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. 
The seed is larger than the seed of Kafir and not 
as hard and equal to corn in feeding value for 
stock and poultry. 
PINK KAFIR—Stalk is slender with many leaves 
producing as m'uch fodder as other kafirs. Seed 
head cylindrical, 10 to 14 inches long. Seed pinkish 
white with reddish brown spots. 
FETERITA—Is the earliest and most drought resist- 
ing of the grain sorghums. The seed is larger than 
the seed of Kafir or Milo and not so hard. Should 
not be planted until the weather is warm, as it will 
rot before sprouting if the soil is cold and wet. 
Sweet Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per 
acre; for grain, 5 to 6 pounds, in rows and cultivate the same 
as corn. Forage is very palatable to stock. 
BLACK AMBER CANE—IJIs the best known and is 
the favorite on account of its earliness and re- 
sistance to drought. 
MIXED CANE—This is valuable as a forage crop. 
Do not plant for a seed crop. 
/ YELLOW ORANGE—Differs from the Amber variety 
in having larger and heavier heads. Stalks very 
leafy. 
LEOTL RED—A highly recommended sorghum for 
Colorado conditions. The stalks are very leafy, an 
excellent variety for forage and silage. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE—Very desirable for for- 
age as the stalks are sweet and very leafy. The 
seed shells: out clean like the grain sorghums and 
is better for feed than other varieties of Cane. 
COES SORGO—Is a Kafir-headed sorgo with a long, 
compact head and fine stem, high in sugar con- 
tents. Suckers profusely making large quantities 
of fine leafy feed. The grain is equal to feeding 
value of Kafir. 
ATLAS SORGO—Is a large late forage sorghum de- 
veloped by the Hays, Kansas, Experiment Station. 
It is drought resistant, produces big yields under 
favorable conditions and is_ similar to Kansas 
Orange in growth habit. It is a sweet Sorghum 
and will produce a good tonnage of forage in this 
section.

Millet 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It affords a 
quick, luxuriant growth of hay of good feeding value and 
requires no cultivation. Millet may be fed green or cured. 
The value of Millet for late planting and emergency crops 
after others fail should not be overlooked. They can be 
planted late in July and still make considerable forage. Sow 
about 20 pounds to the acre.’ 
55 
WHITE WONDER—A variety which has taken the 
place of common miillet and has qualities superio: 
to Other varieties. It is early, the heads are very 
eke and long, and the foliage is heavy yet easily 
cured. 
MANITOBA OR HOG—A valuable peculiarity of Hog 
Millet is that seed ripen while the hay is yet green, 
which, if cured at the proper time, can be threshed 
for seed, while the hay makes excellent fodder 
after being threshed. 
EARLY FORTUNE OR RED HOG—Very similar to 
the Manitoba or Hog Millet, only the seed is red 
instead of yellow. ; 
TURGHAI—A red seeded variety of the Hog or Proso 
type. Grows three feet tall and has a purple 
spreading head. The stems bear a wide leaf 
similar to corn and are not woody. It withstands 
considerable drought. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN—Earlier, more hardy, 
rustproof, and less liable to damage by insects, an 
extremely heavy cropper; stalks tall, and of finer 
quality than any other sort. Best variety for hay. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN—This is one of the best for- 
age plants grown in this country. Under ordinary 
conditions will produce from 4 to 5 tons of hay per 
acre, and from 50 to 75 bushels of seed. When sown 
early it leaves the ground in splendid condition for 
wheat. 
Field Beans oie 
40 to 60 pounds will seed an acre 
PINTO OR MHXICAN—80 to 90 days. A heavy yielder, 
hardy, drought resistant and an excellent baking 
bean, also used for chili... The seed is red_and 
speckled with crimson. 
Postpaid (%4 Ib. 15c) (ib. 35c) (5 Ibs. $1.50). 
GREAT NORTHERN OR LARGE NAVY—100 days. A 
popular bean, especially adapted for Colorado soil 
and climate, Its flavor and tenderness as a baked 
bean surpass all other varieties. Seed is flat oval 
white. 
Postpaid (14 Ib. 15e) (Ib. 35e) (5 Ibs. $1.50). 
MICHIGAN PEA BEAN—(Small Navy)—90 days. Best 
known commercial variety. Plant large, spreading, 
with many runners; heavily productive. Pods flat, 
tough, stringy. Seed small, round oval, white. 
Postpaid (% Ib. 15c) (Ib. 35ce) (5 Ibs. $1.50). 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan is an annual and requires replanting each 
year, and dies with the first frost in the fall; is 
closely related to SSorghumis (Milo, Maize, Kafir Corn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
There is no other forage crop known that will resist 
drought like Sudan and it is therefore particularly 
adapted to semfi-arid regions, yet it yields immense 
crops under irrigation and rainy climates. It may be 
broadcast or drilled in rows and cultivated. Some 
broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of seed per acre or in 
rows 10 to 12 pounds. Cut for hay when fully headed. 
Under favorable conditions two cuttings of hay may 
be obtained. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.00).
