 1141. Bolgiano's Prosperity Corn. If you really want 

 to grow abumpercrop of beautiful Yellow Dent Corn this 

 year, just take our advice and plant Bolgianos "Prosper- 

 ity" 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 ft. 

 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 corn per 

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

 acres it has averaged 125 bushels shelled com per acre. 

 Is it any wonder we have called such a wonderful corn 

 "Prosperity?" — it 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 Corn ever produced. Pkt. 10c. Qt. 15c.

J. Bolgiano's Wonderful "Prosperity Com.' 



Say! Where Did You Get That Corn? 



On Oct. 1st, 1910, Mr. L. W. Hammersley of Campbell Co., I'a., writes as follozus: " On April 16th 1910, I purchased half bushel Bolgiano's Fawoits Pros- 

 perity Yellow Dent Corn from yon, and from the Corn froducedfrom this seed I sot from the Lynchburg Fair, Sept. 27. 28, 29 and 30th, ontof SUOO py ize: offered. 

 I got $119. Six counties were represented at the Fair, and there was a great dejnand to know jiOiere and from whom I purchased this seed, and I could have sold 

 every bushel of my crop at $2.50 per bushel, but that would be doing you as well as myself a great injustice, for I feel that 07ily just and honorable to myself / 

 turned I hem over to you. Twenty thousand people visited the Fair daily. I have been dealing with you for twenty years and if you wish any reference as to the 

 reliability and truthfulness of this statejnentwe refer you to Mr. John Victor, President of The 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. Growers should make sure of getting the largest jield 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. Heid's Yellow Dent. This is a splendid yellow Dent variety with 18 tD 24 rows of kernels on an ear. The cob is small and red and the grain? are 

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

 variety except -Prosperity." The ears average 8 to 10 inches long. Thestalk 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 farmer":, 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. Si. 25. 



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 crop- 

 ping 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 singularly 

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

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

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



1213. Iowa Gold Mina 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 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 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 6t pounds shelled corn and only 6 pounds of cobs. This cannot be equaled by 

 any other corn in the world. The kernels are deep, wedge-shaped. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 2Sc. Pk. 4''c. Bu. $1.25. 



1148. Long's Prolific. The climax of 25 years of corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. I^ong. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 30c. Pk. 45c. Bus. $1.50. 



White Varieties of Seed Corn 



1145. "HicKory King" 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 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. 10c. Qt. 15c. Gal. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.35. 

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

 ears about 3/^ to4 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 eaily. It is a sure cropper, deep grain, pure white, and a good 

 corn in every way. It produces a better cr p 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. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 25c. 

 Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.35. 



1148. Bolgiano's Cuban Giant Ensilag'e Cora. We have thoroughly 

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

 being as sweet as Sugar Com. Outyields the Red Cob Ensilage and is 10 to 

 12 days earlier. It is the m.ost perfect com we have found in our years of 

 experience. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4Qts. 25c. Pk. 40c. Bus. $1.35. 

 1214. Everg'reen Brown Corn. Improved. An excellent variety; is a 

 good length, fine, straight, and has a green appearance when ripe, and sells 

 at the highest m;irket price. Sow in drills three feet apart, and thin out to 

 threeinches. Sow 5 lbs. per acre. Pks. 10c. Pk. 50c. Bus. $1.75. 



1215. Collier's Ex<elsior White Corn. We believe this to be the best all 

 around White Corn in existence. It is a heavy yielder: has large ears, deep 

 grain, small cob and produces good-sized fodder, free from barren stalks. 

 Matures in 110 to 115 days. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 40c. Pk. 75c. Bus. $1.25. 

 1054. Red Cob 90-Day Corn. This corn meets a long-felt want, because it 

 can be used as a roasting ear corn and when fully matured makes a first- 

 class Crop Corn for feeding stock. The ear is large, handsome, suits for an 

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

 always a safe and profitable crop. Doz. 25c. Pkt. Sc. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c.

 old farmers who like a big grain on a small cob. The grain is pure white, 

 with good-sized ear. having ten rows to the cob. Used for general crop.
