FIELD CORN 
10 pounds will plant an acre. The proper selection 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 Southeastern 
Colorado, and the Arkansas Valley. It produces high yields 
of showy ears well filled to the tip of well dented deep 
ee kernels. Leaves and stalks make finest ensilage and 
odder. : 
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 742 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 
Postpaid—S Ibs. $1.50, 10 Ibs. $2.50. 
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 Mil- 
let 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—A 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 set 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—Earlier, more hardy, rustproof, 
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. 
Any of the above varieties 
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 lbs. 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 lbs. of Fall Rye per acre. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.00. 
SPRING VETCH or WILLAMETTE—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. 
Forage 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. 
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 ist and 6th. 
ORANGE CANE—A heavy yielding variety grown for forage 
and silage. It is rather late in maturing seed, as it takes from 
100 to 110 days. 
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. 
poraes is not quite as palatable for stock as the Sweet Sor- 
ghums. 
WHITE KAFIR (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. 
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 bie hard and equal to corn in feeding value for stock and 
poultry. 
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 many as 100 stalks from a single root. 
Postpaid—S Ibs. $2.00, 10 Ibs. $3.75. 
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 
before touching common sudan or other forage sorghums. 
Sweet Sudan has broader leaves, larger stems and makes 
taller growth, stooling heavier than common Sudan. It is a 
truly great improvement over common Sudan. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $2.25, 10 Ibs. $4.00.
