Sudan Grass. [Sweet Sudan.] This is the new Sweet Sudan, a great improvement over the com- 7 
mon, being more palatable and more productive. A forage crop of great value. Belongs to the sorghum 
family, is strictly an annual. 3 to 5 feet tall. Sow in drills or broadcast. 20 lbs. to the acre for 
hay or cutting green. When cut, grows again until frost. 
Evergreen Broom Corn. Best for general cultivation; brush fine and long. 
Sorghum or Early Amber Sugar Cane. Grows 10 to 12 feet high. Matures early and best adapted 
to the northern states, for syrup making. Used also for ensilage. 
Kaffir Corn. Both grain and fodder are excellent, the whole stalk tender to the full maturity of seed. 
The grain is used for feeding poultry. 
Flax Seed. Whole druggists’ flax, not for seed. 
Sunflower. Mammoth Russian. Large heads grown for seeds. Special grades for feeding Parrots, 
Poultry and Wild Birds. 
Vetch, Spring, or Tares. (Vicia Sativa). Of the Pea family, round black seeds. Usually sown 
with oats or barley for fodder. Culture same as field peas, two bushels per acre. 
Vetch, Sand, Winter or Hairy. (Vicia Villosa). Sow in early fall or spring, usually with rye for sup- 
port; grows three to four feet and is ready to cut as soon as bloom appears, and again for seed. 
Peas, Canada Field. (See page 28). Per quart, 30c.; bushel (60 Ibs.), $6.80. 
Soja Bean, Black Wilson. We have found this to be one of the most desirable sorts for our northern 
states to use either as a forage crop or plowing in. The pods develop sufficiently if sown in May or June 
to add greatly to the food value.
