FIELD CORN. 



Hickory King'. — Largest grains of any white variety. Matures 

 early and very productive. Ears set low, are of large size, well filled, 

 ver}' deep grained. It produces well, even on light land. Peck, 40c.; 

 bus., $1.25. 



fc/GrOlden Beauty. — It is a large and broad-grained yellow corn. 

 Tne ears of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen straight rows of 

 grains. The cob is very small. Peck, 40c.; bus., $1.25. 



. L/eamingr Improved Dent. — A very popular and extremely 



productive variety. On good land the stalks grow tall, producing two 

 good ears to each stalk. The ears are long, with small red cob well filled 

 with grains of medium size but deep, of a rich golden color. It ripens 

 with us in from 100 to 110 days, and makes a good crop even in dry sea- 

 sons by reason of its earliness in maturing and strong vigorous growth. 

 The stalks are rather slender and leafy, making excellent fodder, while 

 the grains, being so deep or long, yield an extra large quantity of shelled 

 corn per bushel of ears. Peck, 40c.; bus., $1.25. 



Iowa Gold Mine. — Ears of good size, color golden yellow, grain 

 very deep, cob small. Specially recommended for its productiveness, 

 ofteja bearing two large ears to a stock. Peck, 40c.; bus., $1.25. 



K Chester County Mamniotli. — The ears are very large and well 

 formed, with grain large, deep and of a bright yellow color. Stalks 

 averaging from ten to fourteen feet. Peck, 40c.; bus., $1.25. 



ij^ed Cob, or Ninety-Day Corn. — A distinct and well-known 

 sort of white corn, matures in about ninety daj's, produces large, hand- 

 some ears. Peck, 40c.; bus., $1.50. 



— Iowa "Silver Mine" Dent Corn. — The ears measure from 

 ten to twelve inches in length, and often weigh 1% lbs. They are very- 

 uniform in size and shape, with sixteen to twenty straight rows of deep, 

 pure white kernels on a small white cob. It matures in about 100 days. 

 Heavy yielder. Peck, 35c.; bus., $1.15. 



SUGAR CORN. 



1 qt., 200 hills; 10 qts., 1 acre. 



The Sugar or Sweet varieties should not be planted until May, or when 

 the ground has become warm, and for a succession every ten days or two 

 weeks, until the last of July, in hills— for early varieties, 3.x3 feet, and for 

 the late, large kinds, 3x3 feet. Give fi'equent and thorough cultivation. 

 Allot live to six grains to each hill, but never allow more than three plants 

 to stand. 



"^irst Early Neck.— This variety can be planted earlier than 

 any other sort, ear short, grain white. It is not a Sugar Corn, but on ac- 

 count of its being largely sold for table use, we class it among the Sugar 

 Corns. Ear, 5c.; doz., 25c.; bus., $1.50. 



Z-Adains' Extra Early.— Similar to the First Early Neck, larger, 

 but a fraction later, a favorite variety for early markets. Ear, 5c.; 

 doz., 20c.; quart, 15c.; bus., $1.50. 



'Adams' Early. — A splendid early variety and safe cropper. Doz. , 

 20c.; quart 15c.; bus., $1.50. 



fc^Burlinsrton Hybrid, or Imitation.— It is a cross between 

 Adams' Extra Early and a large 8-rowed eared Sugar Corn, combining 

 extra earliness with good quality, producing frequently three or four 

 large ears on one stalk. Not legitimately a Sugar Corn, yet the husks, 

 blades and ear in green state resemble the sugar varieties. Quart 15c ' 

 peck, 50c.; bus., $1.50. 



^-i:arliest Slieflfleld Sugar Corn.— Hardy as Adams', early as 



"First of All." This new extra early is the result of a cross between 

 the Cory and Extra Early Adams, by Dr. Van Fleet, the well-known hy- 

 bridizer. It combines the robu,st growth and extreme hardiness of the 

 Extra Early Adams, with the finer sugary quality of the Cory. Ears 

 average six inches in length and are well filled with grains of medium 

 size, arranged in ten or twelve regular rows. The grains are juicy and 

 of fine, sweet flavor, if gathered at the proper stage . It is as hardy as 

 the Adams, ready for use earlier, and of much finer quality. One of its 

 strongest recommendations as a market variety is the entire 

 freedom from smut, which destroys so much of the extra 

 early Corn. Quart, 20c.; peck, 75c. 



GoUlen Beauty Corn. 



^ Kendel's Early Giant Sweet Corn.- This is not 

 amere novelty, but is of real merit. Ears large, measuring 

 eight to ten inches long, having ten to twelve rows on each 

 cob ; kernels pure white, sweet and tender. Gardeners 

 report this Corn ready to use in sixty days grown on sand, 

 and seventy-two days on heavy clay. Dealers and truckers 

 report ready sales, and are enthusiastic over its earliness, 

 large size and productiveness. Quart, 15c.; peck, 70c.' 

 bus., $2.50. 



/^'Cory. — The Earliest Sweet Corn in cultivation ; the 

 ears are fair sized and very fine quality. Quart, 15c.; peck, 

 60c.; bus., $2.00. 



i^ Shaker's Early. — This is a superb early variety, 

 with large, well-filled ears; the kernels are of pearly white- 

 ness and most delicious, sweet flavor. It is ready to market 

 one week after Cory Corn, while the ears are very much 

 larger, and it completely fills the interval between Cory and 

 Stowell's Evergreen. It is very prolific, generally bearing 

 three to four ears to the stalk. Quart, 15c.; peck, 60c.; 

 bus., $2.25.
