 King of the Earlies— The Earliest Dent Corn grown. 



This Corn originated with the originator of the Piide of the North, Corn and 

 is the earliest of all Dent Corn. The originator describee it as follows: 



"This is without doubt the earliest and finest Dent Corn in cultivation— bright 

 orange color. Short, leafy stocks, medium-sized ears, small red cobs; long, 

 deep grains, very rich in oil and starch— the most prolific Corn extant. This 

 Corn Is evidently adapted for planting in high latitudes, and will mature a crop 

 farther north than any oiher known variety, and for threshing there is no other 

 Corn that will compare with it, will shell easier, will make better fodder, can be 

 threshed earlier than any other known variety. It ripens earlier, dries out 



quicker, makes belter fod- 

 der, stands the drought bet- 

 ter and will yield more No. 

 1 shelled Corn than any 

 other known variety."

Self-Husking — The farmer will hail with delight the introduction of this 

 wonderful Corn. As the name implies, it possesses the verj' peculiar fea- 

 ture of opening its husks and completely stripping its ears, so that the 

 farmer is saved the trouble of husking. It is moreover, a very prolific 

 variety, often producing three ears on a stalk. These are large and band- 

 some, from 10 to 12 inches in length. The cob is small and the grain is of 

 a beautiful amber color. It is the earliest field Corn in cultivation, a flint 

 variety, and without doubt destined to become the leading field sort.

 used there as an article of food. The green ears are as sweet as any

 large. and very numerous and make excellent fodder. Quart, 20 cts. : peck,
