Nurseries (Horticulture) Minnesota Faribault Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Cereal grasses Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. Farmer Seed Co., Farmers and Seed Growers, Faribault, Minn. 2$ TEOSINTE. Beana luxurians. A forage plant which comes to us from Egypt, and which for several years already has been grown in this country, particu- larly in the South. It attracted considerable attention on account of the large amount of forage it produced. The yield is so abund- ant that one plant is considered to be sufficient to feed a pair of cattle for twenty-four hours. It suckers more than any other for- age plant, generally producing twenty to thirty stalks and as high as seventy to eighty-five stalks from one kernel of seed, and "â rowing to a height of eleven feet. It can be cut when two or three feet high and used for fodder; will quickly grow up again, and can be cut two to five times in one season. The amount of forage to be had in this way is immense; some estimate it 300 tons per acre. It has a great future as a fodder plant, and will soon become more known. The seed is produced very sparingly, but is now grown in this country. We advise all those interested to give it at least a trial this year, so as to be ready to plant larger quantities afterwards.
