1141. Bolgiano's Prosperity Com. If you really 

 want to grow a bumper crop of beautiful Yellow Dent 

 Com this Year, just take our advice and plant Bolgiano's 

 "Prosperity" Corn. The fine, large, stately ears are 12 to 

 14 in. long, 8 to 11 in. in circumference and have from 20 

 to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels, well developed 

 over tip and but. It is a luxuriant grower from 12 to 15 

 feet high, and if planted during the first half of May, will 

 mature before the 20th of September. For more than a 

 score of years, "Prosperity Corn" has been under the 

 most watchful breeding and selection, the magnificent 

 results more than pay for every effort put forth. The 

 yield has been miraculous, 160 bus. or more of shelled 

 com per acre and it has even averaged on a number of 

 acres planted the same year 133 bushels shelled com per 

 acre. During a continuous test of 10 years on about 100 

 acres it has averaged 125 bushels shelled com per acre. 

 Is it any wonder we have called such a wonderful com 

 " Prosperity ?"-^t don't seem possible to call it by any 

 other name. "Prosperity" is undoubtedly the most at- 

 tractive, the largest, the finest, the greatest yielding 

 Yellow Dent Com ever produced. Pkt. 10c. Qt. 15c.

Say! Where Did You Get That Com ? 

 On Oct. 1st, 1910, Mr. L. W. Hammersley, of Campbell Co., Va., writes as follows: "On April 16tk, 1910, 1 purchased hxilf bushel Bolgiano' s Famous Pros- 

 perity Yellow Dent Corn 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 tliere was a great demand to know wliere andfro7ti whom I purchased this seed, and J could 

 have sold every busliel of my crop at $250 per bushel, but tliat would be doing you as well as myself a great injustice, for I feel that only jzist and honorable to 

 myself I turned them ovet to you. Twenty tlwiisand people attended tli£ Fair daily. I have been dealing with you for twenty years ayid if you wish any refer- 

 ence as to reliability and trutlifulnes of this statement we refer you to Mr. John Victor, President of Tlie Peoples National Bank of Lynchburg, Va. 



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

 seeds many times over. Growersshould make sure of getting thelargestyield and most handsome grain to meet competition and secure the highest prices. 

 Ears usually averaging from 9 to 12 inches long and from 20 to 30 rows on the cob, some of the stalks bearing from 3 to 5 ears. Then why use your poor 

 stock any longer? It has produced 150 bushels shelled com to the acre. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.25. 



1140. Reid's Yellow 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 Yellow Dent has been awarded more prizes at Com 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 days and 

 is a heavy yielder in the Middle and Southern States. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.25. 



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 seasons 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. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1 25. 



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

 cropping yellow corns 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 unfavorableconditions better than any other sort we know of, the ears and grains maturing 

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

 corn, particularly adapted to the South, it its strongly recommended. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c, Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.25. 



1213. lo-wa Gold Mine Com. 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 direct from 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 com and in hauling to market it weighs out iive 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 com and only 6 pounds of cobs. This cannot be equalled 

 by any other corn in the world. The kernels are deep: wedge-shaped, Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.25.

White Varieties of Seed Com 



1145. "Hickory King" "White Com. 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 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 Com for 

 the South. Pkt. 5c. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 30c. Pk. 45c. Bus. $1.50. 



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

 set the ears about 3/^ 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 a better crop on old. thin land than 

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

 ears bear 16 rows, very straight and close together. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c.

 tested the Cuban Giant beside all large white grain ensilage varieties. Grains 

 are pure white, very large, broad and long. Of stronger vitality than any 

 orher 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 

 earlier. It is the most perfect com we have found in our years of experience.

 cause it can be used as a roasting ear corn and when fully matured makes a

 an early crop or for a late crop, because it matures in 90 days. This makes it
