FIELD CORN 
10 pounds will plant an acre. The proper selecticn and care of 
Seed Corn is more important and exacting than the average 
grower realizes, and in appearance corn suitable for seed pur- 
poses is often deceiving and its seed qualities can only be de- 
termined by actual tests for germination and vitality. Our Seed 
Corn is strictly Colorado grown (except the ensilage and Hybrid 
varieties), is acclimated and will ripen earlier than eastern 
grown seed. 
OPEN POLLINATED VARIETIES 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN—A hardy flint corn, adapted for cool 
climates, short seasons and dry lands. Ears are medium 
size, kernels are white, smooth, shallow, round and flinty. 
COLORADO No. 13—A selection out of Minnesota No. 13 by our 
State Agricultural College, bred for earliness and high yield- 
ing quality. The most widely used Yellow Dent variety, 
maturing in 100 to 110 days. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT —110 days. Suitable for Southeast- 
ern Colorado, and the Arkansas Valley. It produces high 
yields of showy ears well filled to the tip of well dented 
deep yellow kernels. Leaves and stalks make finest ensilage 
and fodder. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT—This is a variety of Yellow 
Dent Corn developed in Colorado and is especially well 
adapted for planting in the dry-land district and in the north, 
as it is very drought resisting and matures early. Fine for 
grain, fodder or ensilage. 
COLORADO WHITE DENT—A corn very similar to Colorado 
Yellow Dent except in color. A White Dent variety that has 
been bred for earliness and will make a better yield per acre 
than the Yellow Dents, especially on thin soils. 
BLUE SQUAW—It is extremely early and of very dwarf habits. 
Average length of ears 7% inches, grain of dark purple color 
and sugary. Better for hogging down than the White or 
Yellow Flints as the grain is not as hard. Ready to use in 
about 70 days. 
Any of the above varieties

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. 
WHITE WONDER—4 variety which has taken the place of 
common millet and has qualities superior to other varieties. 
It is early, the heads are very large 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. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN—FEarlier, more hardy, rust- 
proof, 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 forage plants 
grown in this country. Under ordinary conditions will pro- 
duce 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.

Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50) 
VETCH 
Vetches, either green or as hay, make excellent feed and are 
also used extensively as cover and green manure crops. They 
make good hay, ensilage, pasture and green feed and are very 
valuable as a green fertilizer and as a cover crop in orchard 
preventing the washing away of the soil. 
WINTER, SAND OR HAIRY VETCH—Is very winter hardy 
and is a fine crop to sow in the fall following harvest of crop. 
Sow 60 Ibs. per acre. May also be seeded in the fall with winter 
rye for a hay crop, about August 1 to 20 using about 30 lbs. 
of Vetch and 40 Ihs. of Fall Rye per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.00). 
SPRING VETCH—Sow in the spring at the rate of 60 lbs. per 
acre or with a grain crop such as oats, wheat, rye or barley, 
at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre and using one-half of the 
normal rate of small grain. This combination makes excellent 
forage or hay and also aids in preventing the Vetch from 
lodging. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
FORAGE 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. 
Foragre is very palatable to stock. 
BLACK AMBER CANE—Is the best known and is the favorite 
on account of its earliness and resistance to drought. 
MIXED CANE—This is valuable as a forage crop. Do not plant 
for 1 seed crop. 
LEOTI RED—A highly recommended sorghum, for Colorado. 
Produces a semi-compact reddish head that droops slightly 
at the tip when ripe. The stalk is sweet, juicy and leafy. 
Matures at about average frost time if planted between 
June 1st and 6th. 
ORANGE CANE—A heavy yielding variety grown for forage 
and silage. It is rather late in maturing seed, as it takes from 
1®) to 110 days. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE—Very desirable for forage 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 contents. Suckers profusely 
making large quantities of fine leafy feed. The grain is equal 
to feeding value of Kafir. 
NORKAN—An early forage sorghum, white seeded, drought 
resistant, produces big yields under favorable conditions, 
grows and looks like Atlas Sorgo. 
Any of the above varieties 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50) 
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 KAFTIR (Dwarf Black Hull)—Usually grows 5 to 6 feet 
tall in 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. 
i 
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 (Sooner or Sixty Day)—A non-saccharine sorghum of 
high feeding value. This is the plant that is 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. 
MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO—An extremely short, stocky 
straight shanked Milo. Has erect heads and seeds—threshes 
free from the glumes. The seeds are yellow and of large size. 
Strictly a combine type grain sorghum. 
NORGHUM—A new early maturing yellow grain sorghum. 
Combine type, especially good in short season areas. 
Any of the above varieties 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50) 
SUDAN GRASS 
SUDAN GRASS, for Hay and Pasture— Sudan Grass is 
strictly an annual, and dies each year like millet. Sudan 
Grass is tall, reaching a height of from 7 to 9 feet. The stems 
are small and are rarely larger than a lead pencil. The plant 
stools wonderfully and produces, under favorable conditions, 
as manv as 100 stalks from a single root. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.50) (10 Ibs. $2.50). 
SWEET SUDAN—A greatly improved Sudan Grass from a 
hybridization of Leota Red Sorghum on Common Sudan. It 
has great palatability, livestock eating it to the ground be- 
fore touching common sudan or other forage sorghums. 
Sweet Sudan has broader leaves, larger stems and makes 
taller growth, stooling heavier than common Sudan. It isa 
truly great improvement over common Sudan.
