CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE 



KING OF THE EARLIES DENT CORN, 



The Earliest Dent Corn in Existence. Yields more No. 1 Corn than any 

 other known variety. Ears medium in size. Cobs small. 



This is without doubt tlie earliest and finest Dent 

 Corn. Color bright golden yellow. The stalks grow 

 from 6 to 8 feet in height, and are thickly covered 

 with leaves, close to the ground, yielding a large 

 amount of excellent fodder, unsurpassed in feeding 

 qualities. 



The ears are medium in length, cob very small, 

 closely set with long deep kernels very rich in oil 

 and starch. 



This Corn is eminently adapted for planting ia 

 high latitudes, and will matureacropfarthernorth 

 than any other Dent Corn. For shelling there is no 

 Corn will compare with it. It can be husked earlier, 

 will shell easier and make better fodder than any 

 other inown sort. It ripens earlier, dries out 

 quicker, makes better fodder, stands drought bet- 

 ter and will yield more No. 1 Shelled Corn than 

 any other variety. 



Kiug of the Earlies can be depended upon to ma- 

 ture a very heavy crop of first-class corn in the 

 northern part of Wisconsin or Minnesota, where 

 even the Early Flint sorts often fail. Ourstock of 

 it is carefully selected every year from the earliest 

 and best ears, making it as nearly perfect as possi- 

 ble, and is unsurpassed in uniformity of type. 



For the Northwestern States King of the Earlies 

 is by far the best corn. Always maturing before 

 frost. Yields more than any other, and brings the 

 highest market price at all times.

CURRIE' S EARLIEST OF ALL CORN. 



The Earliest Corn In Existence. Matares In about dO days fromi time of planting. Yields two to three ears to the stall 

 Furnishes Fodder in the hot, dry summer months. 



Planted at the same time as other Corn, Cunie's Earliest of All will be ready for up([ 

 July, coming in at a time when fodder is generally short, and filling in a gap until the m, 

 crop of corn can be used. The stalks grow about six feet in height, well clothed w 

 leaves with rich feeding qualities. Stockmen will find this Corii invaluable in times 

 scarcity o? early fodder, and we would advise planting at least a gmall acreage of 

 enough to carry them over the early dry season. A second crop of this corn may be plan1 

 on the same ground after the first has been taken off, yielding a good crop of fodder late 

 the season. AVe do not advise grovping this corn for main crop in this section. It will u 

 take the place of King of the Earlies for that purpose, the yield of corn being much lei, 

 but "where extreme earliness is desired there is no other variety equal to it. The crop c 

 be cut and put away long before there is any chance of frost, and at a time when otlf 

 work on the farm is usually light. 



BAELIEST OF ALL COBN.

 bushels, $3.50. 



Pride of the North— No variety of Corn has 

 been more extensively grown in the Northwest- 

 ern States than this. It is early, with a fairly 

 large ear and small cob, closely set with deep 

 kernels ; color bright yellow. It will shell 60 to 

 64 lbs. per bushel of 70 lbs. of ears, 14 to 16 



rows, often placed irregularly on the small, red cob. Quart, 15 cts.; peck, 35 cts.; bushel, 



$1.00; 21^ bushels, $2.35. 



Iowa Gold Mine— A handsome early Corn, ripening a few days after Pride of the North ; 

 ears are of good size, very even and uniform in shape, cob small, with very deep grains of 

 a bright golden color, which dry out very quickly as soon as ripe. Ears have been shelled 

 of this variety which produced 64 lbs. of shelled Corn and only 6 lbs. of cobs to the bushel. 

 This is without doubt the best of the medium early Corn for quality and cropping powers. 



Quart, 15 cts.; peck, 35 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 2'^ bushels, $2.35. 



Brazilian Flour Corn— In this section grown mainly for fodder. It is a wonderful produ- 

 cer, the stalks growing about 8 feet in height, stooling out so much that one kernel fre- 

 quently produces as many as eight stalks, each stalk yielding two to three ears of beauti- 

 ful white corn. The corn contains a greater percentage of starch than any other, and if 

 ground and bolted the same as wheat, makes a fine flour, much esteemed by many for 

 making bread and pastry. 



It is a splendid variety for ensilage, producing about four times as much fodder as the 

 ordinary corn. Plant two kernels in each hill, and cultivate the same as any other corn.
