CANE SEED AND FORAGE CROPS 
CULTURE—Plant cane seed on rich land during April, May and 
June in 3%-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 seeds ripen, 
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., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.75 
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, 
Ewer 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 silage. 
Price, 3 above varieties—1 Ib., 30; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.00 
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—1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.00 
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 particle. Since it stools and branches freely 
it requires only 5 lbs. of seed to plant an acre. Very drouth 
resistant. 
Price—1 lb., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.00 
1210—WHITE KAFFIR—tThis 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 
apart, 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—1l Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.50 
1213—COMBINE MILO MAI%E—Drouth resistant, very 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, grows only 2 to 3 
feet high. May be cut two or three 
times if desired for green forage. 
Early maturing and adapted to 
most soils. 
Price—1 Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 
Ibs., $1.75. 
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 Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 
Ibs., $1.75. 
1214—ATLAS SORGO— A large, 
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 canes 
and corn. 
Price—1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 
“Ibs., $1.50.

Sapling Syrup Cane 
SPECIAL ATTENTION—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—SAPLING SYRUP CANE—Deservedly the most popu- 
lar syrup cane in the South. Medium height, strong stalks 
which 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. Because of 
its true, pronounced molasses flavor, this syrup easily finds 
a ready market and since pure Syrup Cane seed commands 
a premium, you will find this an excellent cash crop. 
Price—1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.75 
BROOM CORN 
Easily grown on any land adapted to corn. Plant 6 lbs. per 
acre, on a fine seed bed, 14% inches deep in 3%-foot rows, 
when ground is warm. Thin out to 2 to 4 inches. 
12723—STANDARD EVERGREEN—Grows 8 to 10 feet tall. 
Yields a long, heavy brush, free from heavy center stems 
and crooked straws. Ready to cut in about 100 days. 
Price—l Ib., 55c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00 
12722—SCARBOROUGH (Dwarf Type)—It is earlier and has 
somewhat longer brush than Evergreen. Bears fewer seeds 
and easier thrashed than many other varieties. 
Price—1 Ib., 55c; 5 Ibs., $2.25; 10 Ibs., $4.00 
MILLET 
1185—-TENNESSEE GROWN GERMAN MILLET (Big 
Headed Type)—Broadcast 50 pounds to acre. German Millet 
makes a quickly grown, easily cured and large yielding, 
nutritious hay crop. It comes so quickly that it can be sown 
after wheat, oats or other early crops are harvested and 
leaves the land clean. Millet should be cut while in bloom. 
As a summer catch-crop, it has few equals, for it makes a 
crop in about sixty days. 
Price—1 lb., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.00 
1188—PEARL OR CAT-TAIL MILLET—Will grow 10 to 12 
feet high, but for the greatest amount of green feed it should 
be cut when 3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool out enor- 
mously. Gives three or four cuttings a season, and keeps 
on growing until frost. It is highly nutritious. Should not 
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. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.00 
1209—SWEET SUDAN. Grows anywhere common Sudan 
does and can be sown broadcast or in drills 30 to 40 lbs. 
per acre after danger of frost is over. Sweet Sudan is 
sweet, Juicy and very palatable to live stock. Stools heavily 
and produces grazing over a long period. It is excellent for 
ensilage because of its high food value. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.00
