The Most Profitable Catch Crop. Matures in 60 Days. 
Can Be Planted Later and Will Stand More Dry Weather Than Any Other Grain. 
This white Proso was introduced from Siberia several years ago and after many tests has proven to be one of 
the most dependable and profitable farm crops. It will grow almost anywhere, North, South, East or-West, in wet or 
dry weather, and on all kinds of soil. In 1933, when thousands of acres of grain were burned up by the extreme 
drought, this strain of Proso saved the day. Many farmers would have grown no winter feed at all had it not been 
for this wonderful grain. Though it does best when sown in June, it may be sown as late as: July 15th and still 
mature a good crop. It produces as high as 70 bushels to the acre, of grain weighing 50 to 60 pounds per bushel. KS 
Ideal Feed for Poultry, Hogs, Cattle and Sheep. May Be Fed Without Threshing. a 
Proso makes a splendid feed when fed whole or ground, for all kinds of live stock and poultry.

any stage of growth, or as hay, is not at any time injurious to live stock. H 
somewhat green, even though the grain is ripe, makes a good hay for winter feeding. The large turkey growers of 
the Northwest rely on Proso as one of their chief feed crops. : ’ 
The seed of this Proso is round and larger than millet seed, growing in a sprangly head resembling oats. The inner

Proso has been selected for its white color, larger kernels and greater productiveness. - 5 
Proso is unlike any other grain because of its extreme drought resistance, together with the fact that it takes only 
60 to 65 days to mature a crop of this variety, and needs only one good rain to produce a crop. It may be planted 
on high, dry soil that is not suitable for other grains. ng 
that may be planted on land which has had an early crop removed or ground that has been drowned out and not in 
shape to work until late in the season. 28 
Proso can be sown with a regular grain drill at the rate of 25 to 35 lbs. per acre. a

Burgess' New "Miracle-Coating" Makes Gardening a 
Easier, More Certain—Protects and Nourishes Seed 
and Seedling Plants to Give You Earlier, More Uniform 
Crops. 
Sweet corn on the 4th of July—Tomato seed planted safely in the ground — 
in April—Zinnias in bloom 2 weeks earlier—Carrots you don’t have to thin— — 
these are some of the miracles being performed by thousands of Burgess gar-— 
deners throughout America, :

They are using Burgess’ PELLETED Vegetable and Flower SUPER SEED Ker 
‘¢Miracle-Coated’’? with a new scientific treatment which protects and 
nourishes seed and seedling. eee 
PELLETED SUPER SEEDS are ‘‘ Miracle-Coated’’ with layers of now 
ishing and protective materials. NUTRIENTS to promote early growth. IN- — 
SECTICIDES to protect from insects, worms, birds and rodents. HORMONES © 
to stimulate early plant development when it is most important. FUNGI- 
CIDES to prevent ‘‘damping off’’ and other soil and seed-borne diseases. 
PELLETED SUPER SEEDS are easy to plant because the coating makes 
them big enough to handle. Good seeding means little, if any, back-breaking 
thinning is necessary. : 
PELLETED SUPER SEEDS cut down on 
weeding because seedlings break through 
early, ahead of weeds. - 
PELLETED SUPER SEEDS eliminate root 
disturbance, because so little thinning is nec- 
essary. 
PELLETED SUPER SEEDS increase ger- 
mination in the soil, because their coating 
protects against wet and cold, and also main- 
tains needed moisture under dry conditions.
