. Mills' seed catalogue : 1900. Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. AMERICAN GROWN te:o3inte:. The accompanying illustrasion gives a good idea of a crop of Teosinte. Wiien planted the first of June, by the middie of Sept it has attained a height of lo feet and made a yield of more than 140 tons of green fodder per acre. It resembles Indian Corn some^yhat in appearance, but the leaves are longer and broader and stalks contain a. sweet- er sap. I know of no plant that will make such a faiass of foliage resembling Indian Corn in general appearance, and will excel any corn that can be grov.'n, and will give 2 or 3 cuttings in a season. I advise customers to plant it on good soil and you will be astonished with the result. It starts rather slow at tirst but after it reaches a height of 8 to ID inches its rapid growth is simply astonishing. It re- quires 3 pounds of seed to the acre, and should be planted in hills 2 feet apart each way. If you have never sown Teosinte you should make atrial of it this season, and I know the result will more than please.
