J. Bolgiano & Son's Wonderful "Prosperity" Corn 



1298. Bolgiano s "Leader" Corn. The most reliable Yellow Corn for 

 taaain crops that we have ever introduced, producing wonderful yields on thin 

 or poor land, and enormous yields on rich soil. It is the very best variety for 

 all kinds of soil. We have thoroughly tested out Bolgiano's "Leader" with 

 many of the leading Corn growers. They declare it is the heaviest yielder they 

 have ever planted, on both poor and rich land. A large percentage of the 

 stalks will bear two large eeirs, filled out to the tip end, vigorous grower, 

 maturing in 100 days. Ears large, cobs medium, grains broad and rather 

 deep. It is the kind of Corn that weighs heavy. Splendid for replanting the 

 110-day varieties to overcome the loss by using the same varieties for this 

 purpose. We advise all Corn growers to plant Bolgiano's "Leader," if they 

 desire to reap a big harvest. Place your order immediately, the supply is 

 limited. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



1138. Long's Prolific. 



selection by Mr. I. S. Long. 



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 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 days 

 and is a heavy yielder in the Middle and Southern States. Pk. SI. 25. Bu.

1141. Bolgiano's Prosperity Corn. If you really 

 want to grow a bumper crop of beautiful YeUow Dent 

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

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

 to 14 inches long, 8 to 11 inches in circumference and have 

 from 20 to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels, well 

 developed over tip and butt. 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 bushels or more of shelled Corn 

 per acre, and it has even averaged on a number of acres 

 planted the same yeair 133 bushels shelled Corn per acre. 

 During a continuous test of 10 years on about 100 acres 

 it has averaged 125 bushels shelled Corn per acre. Is 

 it any wonder we have called such a wonderful Corn 

 "Prosperity"? It doesn't seem possible to call it by any 

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

 tive, the largest, the finest, the greatest yielding Yellow 

 Dent Corn ever produced. Pk. SI. 50. Bu. S5.00. 

 1213. Iowa Gold Mine Corn. A splendid YeUow Dent variety. It is 

 early, ears are not excessively large, but of a 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. Seventy 

 pounds of ear Corn make 60 to 62 pounds of shelled Corn, and in hauling to 

 market it weighs out five bushels more to the wagon load than common varie- 

 ties in the same size wagons. Seventy 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. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



1139. Mammoth Golden Beauty Corn. Has the largest ears of any 

 100-day Corn. It outyields many other Corns. The increased yields repay 

 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 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 Corn to the acre.

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. Pk. $1.25. Bu. S4.50. 



White Varieties of Seed Corn 



1299. Eureka Ensilage Corn. The very best Silo Corn on the market. 

 For many years we have used great care in the selection of our seed, which will 

 give a large amount of fodder, 3 or 4 long, slender ears of Corn to the stalk. 

 Grows to a height of 15 feet. Can be sown in hills or planted in checked rows. 

 It is a very rapid grower and can be grown throughout the United States with 

 ^vonderful success. Growers should not miss planting this special variety of 

 ours for their Silo Corn. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.00. 



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 a strong growth, the stalks taie a firm hold in the ground 

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

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

 the South. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



1148. Bolgiano's Cuban Giant Ensilage Corn. 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 Corn. Outyields the Red Gob Ensilage and is 10 to 12 days 

 earlier. It is the most perfect Corn we have found in our years of exjwrience.

1214. Evergreen Broom Corn. Improved. An excellent variety; is 

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

 at the highest market price. Sow in drills three feet apart and thin out to 

 three inches. Sow 5 pounds per acre. Lb. 15c. 



1215. Collier's Excelsior White Corn. We believe this to be the best 

 all around White Corn in existance. It is a heavy yielder; has large ceu-s, deep 

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

 Matures in 110 to 115 days. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



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. EeU'ly, 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, 

 £is it seems to adapt itself to unfavorable conditions. The ears bear 16 rows, 

 very straight and close together. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. $4.50. 



1054. Red Cob SO-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 eai 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. Pk. $1.15. Bu. $4.00. 



1142. Maryland White Corn. This very handsome Corn is the favorite 

 of 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 genered crop.

1257. Boone County White. Ears well filled out at both ends, cylin- 

 drical, 9 to 11 inches long, averaging 20 rows, some 18 and 22. Grain very 

 deep, a little rough. Cobs white, of medium size. Pk. $1.25. Bu. $4.50.

 sively and profitably in cornfield. Lb. 60c. 



Kaffir Corn— The Great Forage Plant 



1147. White Kaffir Corn. Makes nutritious food for stock and poultry. 

 ICaffir Corn in the last few years has been generally sown with Cow Peas, 

 broadcast, at the rate of a peck of Kaffir Com to a bushel of Cow Peas per acre. 

 The Kaffir Corn helps to hold the Cow Peas up off the ground, thus causes a 

 large 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 

 Kedfir Corn should be sown broadcast at the rate of from % to \ 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. 75c. Bu. $2.50. Write 

 for latest prices. 



1169. Red Kaffir Corn. Non-saccharine. The plant is low, stalky, 

 perfectly erect — the stalk as well as the blades; cures into excellent fodder, 

 and in all stages it is available for green food. Lb. 10c. Pk. 75c. Bu. $2.50. 

 Special price in quantity. 



1146. Early Amber Sorghum. Furnishes a large yield of most nutri- 

 tious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield 2 or 3 

 cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. It grows 10 to 12 feet 

 high. Sow broadcast for forage at the rate of 1 to 1% bushels per acre. When 

 sown in drills, sow at the rate of 1 peck per acre in drills 334 to 4 feet apart. 

 Pk. 75c. Bu. 50 lbs. $2.50. 



1276. Red and White Milo Maize. These are popular varieties of 

 sorghum, somewhat similar to the Kaffir Com, valuable for both forage and 

 grain. Cultivation is ssmie as for Kaffir Corn. Lb. 10c. Pk. 75c. Bu. of 

 50 lbs. $2.50. 



1158. Early Orange Sorghurn. This variety is rapidly growing in 

 favor wherever it is grown. Similar in growth to Early Amber, but it is claimed 

 that it produces a heavier crop. Please write for lowest prices.
