BURPEE'S FARM ANNUAL FOR J902 TEOSINTE. Teosiute (Reana luxurians) is a plant resembling Indian Corn in ap- pearance, which grows very quickly and produces a large quantity of forage in warm locations. The leaves are much longer and broader than those of Indian Corn, and also more abundant, while the stalks contain a sweeter sap. As it is 3uite susceptible to cold, the seed should not be sown until all anger of frost is past. If cut off for green forage, which can be done at any stage during growth, two or more joints should be left at the base of the stalk. These will quickly sprout out into fresh growth, making an even larger crop of forage than the first cutting. With us the plant yields two good cuttings iti a season. Further south more cuttings may be made, while in the Gulf States as high as five cuttings can be had in a single season. In the Northern States we should advise drill- ing the seed thinly in rows four feet apart, leaving the plants one foot apart in the row. These plants sucker freely and soon produce a matted row of stalks. The forage is exceedingly tender and is greedily eaten by horses as well as cattle and sheep. Price of seed': Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; lb. 30 cts.; per lb. $, postpaid. By freight or express, not prepaid : Per lb. 90 cts.; 5 lbs. or more at 80 cts. per lb.

If seed and soil are very dry at the time of plant- ing, the bulbs (or seed) should be soaked over night before planting. The nuts mature early in fall and can remain in the soil until needed or the stock pastured directly upon them. One peck of the small
