SUGAR DRIP SORGHUM 
Since we introduced this variety many years ago 
there has been no new sorghum that has been 
brought out that can compare with it in yield of 
syrup. It makes a large juicy, succulent growth. It 
will yield about 65% of the weight of the cane in 
juice when extracted by a good farm mill, and 
stronger mills should extract as much as 75% to 80%. 
One reason for the great popularity of Sugar Drip 
Sorghum is due to its tremendous yield of seed 
which is equal to corn per acre, and in addition to 
its enormous syrup yield the seed of this genuine 
strain can always be Sold at very attractive price 
well above the value of corn. Sugar Drip Sorghum 
also has less tendency to granulate and sugar than 
any other variety, which is a most important factor 
when you offer syrup for sale. 
We are always buyers of seed produced from our 
strain and any customers having seed of this strain 
on hand we would be glad to have samples and quan- 
tity available and we will make an attractive price

SORGHUM and SUGAR CANE 
CULTURE—Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in 
rows 3% to 4 feet apart, and cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well- 
drained soil that will produce a good crop of cornor wheat. May be cut or pastured after the flower- 
ing stage is passed, but not earlier. Sorghum may be grown with cowpeas and soy beans, either in

EARLY ORANGE CANE 
Makes a taller and more leafy growth than 
other forage sorghums. It is recommended 
for fodder, of which it yields immense crops, 
“frequently two cuttings a season, and stooling 
out thicker after cutting. Orange Cane is par- 
ticularly recommended for early plantings in 
Virginia and general plantings in the South- 
ern States. Will make a larger growth and 
more saccharine content than Amber Cane. It 
may be grown with soybeans and cowpeas as 
recommended for Harly Amber Cane, and the 
quantity to plant an acre is the same.

CERTIFIED HEGARI 
Hegari is one of the most valuable of all grain sorghums, and 
very similar in growth and appearance of grain to Kaffir Corn, but 
makes a larger, leafier growth, stools better, makes more heads 
per acre, and consequently heavier yields of grain are obtained. It 
is a semi-Sweet stalk (about 11% sugar), whereas Kaffir is a dry 
stalk, and it will make more bundled feed and grain combined than 
any other sorghum. The fact that the stalk is readily eaten by 
animals either in the process of pasturing off in the fields following 
removal of heads, or in the form of harvested forage, makes it a 
favorite with farmers and livestock men. An average acre of 
Hegari may be expected to yield, under ordinary growing condi- 
tions, 12 tons of silage or 1,800 pounds of threshed grain per acre. 
Some yields have run as high as 4,000 pounds on irrigated land, and 
of course a larger growth of silage. It is generally considered that 
Hegari silage is about 15% more valuable than corn silage. 
Drill 5 pounds per acre in rows about 12 inches apart, and cul- 
tivate. Matures in 110 to 120 days, and-should be planted the same 
as corn. . ; 
Kaffir Corn and ordinary Milo Maize we are not offering for seed 
purposes this year due to the fact that we consider Hegari much 
better substitute for Kaffir Corn as a grain and forage crop. Com- 
bine Milo as a grain producer is far ahead of the ordinary tall grow- 
ing milo and more easily harvested. The grain of both Hegari and 
Combine Milo makes fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and pigeons, 
and can be fed either whole or ground. 
One of the earliest sorghums and 
EARLY AMBER CANE furnishes a large yield of most 
nutritious forage which may be fed either green or cured. If 
planted early, it will yield two cuttings a season, stooling out 
thicker each time it is cut. If grown with cowpeas or soybeans, 
the quality of the hay is improved and a more nearly balanced ra- 
tion may be had. The proportions recommended are 15 pounds 
Early Amber Cane, % bushel of soybeans and 1 bushel cowpeas 
to the acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 12 feet high.
