 Yelloiv Dent Com from you and from the Corn produced from this seed, I got from the Lynchburg Fair, Sept. 27, 28, 29 and 30th, out of $1400 prize offered. I 

 got $119. Six counties were represented at tlie Fair, and th-ere was a great demand to know where and frotnwhotn T purchased this seed, and I could have sold 

 every bushel of my crop at $2 SO per bushel, but that would be doing you as well as myself a great injustice, for I feel tliat only just and honorable to tnyself 1

1139. Mammoth Golden Beauty Corn. Has the largest ears of any 100-day corn. It outyields many other corns. The increased yields repays the 

 seeds many times over. Growers should make sure of getting the largest yield and most handsome grain to meet competition and secure the highest prices. 

 Ears usu illy averaging from 9 to 12 inches long and from 20 to 30 rows on the cob, some of the stalks bearine from 3to5ears. Then why use your poor 

 stock any longer? It has produced 150 bushels shelled corn to the acre. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $2.50. 



1140. Reid's Yello«' Dent. This is a splendid yellow Dent variety with 18 to 24 rows of kernels on an ear. The cob is small and red and the grains 

 are very close together so there is scarcely any room between the rows. Reid's Y'ellow Dent has been awarded more prizes at Corn Shows than any other 

 variety except ' 'Prosperity.'* The ears average 8 to 10 inches long. The stalk is very heavy and is not easily blown down. It matures in 90 to 100 daj'S and 

 is a heavy yielder in the Middle and Southern States. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. /5c. Bus. $2.50. 



1143. Improved Learning Corn. Its extreme earliness and fine quality has made it very popular with the farmers, and especially with those in the 

 localities where the seisons are short. It produces from 65 to 90 bushels to the acre, in accordance with the quality of the soil. The ears and grains are of 

 medium size. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $2.50. 



1212. Improved Golden Dent Corn, 'We sell thousands of bushels of this splendid yellow corn every year, and it is one of the best and most reliable 

 cropping yellow corn in cultivation. It makes a large-sized ear, small cob, deep grains which are of a bright, attractive golden yellow color. It is singu- 

 larly robust, and withstands injury by adverse weather or other unfavorable conditions better than any other sort we know of, the ears and grains maturing 

 remarkably well, and always being marketed in bright, sound condition. Produces two to three ears to the stalk, and for a first-class, large yielding yeUovr 

 corn, particularly adapted to the South, it is strongly recommend. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $2.50. 



1213. lovra Gold Mine Corn. A splendid Yellow Dent variety. It is early, ears are not excessively large, but of good size and symmetrical. Color, a 

 bright, golden yellow, shining like a new coin directfrom the mint. Grain is very dry, cob small and dries out nearly as soon as it ripens. 70 pounds of 

 ear corn makes 60 to 62 pounds of shelled corn and in hauling to market it weighs out five bushels more to the wagon load than common varieties in the 

 same size wagon. 70 pounds of Iowa Gold Mine Corn on the ear have given 64 pounds of shelled corn and only 6 pounds of cobs. This cannot be equalled 

 by any other corn in the world. The kernels are deep; wedge-shaped. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $2.50.

White Varieties of Seed Corn 



1145. "Hickory Kini4" 'White Corn. So large are the grains and so 

 small the cob that on an ear broken in half a single grain will almost cover 

 the cob section. Of a strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in the ground 

 and stand upright, resisting severe storms. It yields splendid crops on light 

 soils, and is undoubtedly the best and most productive White Field Corn for 

 the South. Pkt. 5c. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 45c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $2.50. 



1177. Iowa Silver Mine Corn. The stalks grow 7 to 8 feet high and 

 set the ears about 3'4 to 4 feet from the ground. Just the right height for 

 ■easy picking. Early, maturing in 95 days, dries out rapidly and is ready 

 :for market very early. It is a sure cropper, deep grain, pure white, and a 

 good com in every way. It produces a better crop on old, thin land than 

 any other corn, as it seems to adapt itself to unfavorable conditions. The 

 ears bear 16 rows, very straight and close together. Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c.

 other variety. It is the best milk producer of all ensilage Corns, being as 

 sweet as Sugar Corn. Outyields the Red Cob Ensilage and is 10 to 12_ days

Kaffir Corn. The Great Forage Plant 



1147. 



Makes nutritious food forstock and Poultry. Kaffir Corn in the last few years has been generally sown with the Cow 



W nite iVainr L/Om. Peas, broadcast at the rate of a peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of Cow Peas per acre. The Kaffir Corn helps to hold the 

 Cow Peas up off the ground, thus causes a larger growth of Cow Peas, and both can be cut together, making an enormous yielding crop of most nutritious 

 feed. For a forage crop when sown by itself Kaffir Com should be sown broadcast at the rate of from -K to 1 bushel per acre. When sown for a forage 

 crop, either by itself or with Cow Peas, the crop should be cut before it is headed out. Lb. 10c. Pk. 35c. Bus. SI. 25. Write For Latest Prices.
