Bolgiano & Son's Wonderful "Prosperity" Corn 



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. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



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 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 

 singularly robust, and withstands injury by adverse weather or other unfavor- 

 able conditions better than any other sort we know of, the ears and grains 

 maturing remarkably well, and always being marketed in bright, sound condi- 

 tion. Produces two or three ears to the stalk, and for a first-class large yielding 

 vellow corn, particularly adapted to the South, it is strongly recommended. 

 Pk. S1.25. Bu. $4.50. 



1213. Iowa Gold Mine Corn. A splendid Yellow 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.

1141. Bolgiano's Prosperity Corn. If you really 

 want to grow a bumper crop of beautiful Yellow Dent 

 Corn this year, just take our advice and plant Bolgiano's 

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

 to 14 inches long, S 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 year 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 at- 

 tractive, the largest, the finest, the greatest yielding Yellow 

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

 12S7. Gray Back Corn. This Corn was developed by one of the lead- 

 ing farmers of Frederick County, Md., working many years in crossing the 

 Yellow and While Corns, producing one of the largest yielding Corns known. 

 The ears are large, long, medium size cob. with deep grains giving the appear- 

 ance of vellow Corn when shelled but shows a cream color on the cob. Pk

1138. Long's Prolific. The climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and 

 selection by Mr. I. S. Long. 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 

 Pk. S1.25. Bu. S4.50. 



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. 

 Beid'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.

White Varieties of Seed Corn 



1264. Bolgiano's White Prolific. This is a most valuable field variety, 

 one that makes a large ear and nearly always two ears to the stalk. When 

 ground makes meal of the finest quality. It has a broad, deep grain, small 

 red cob, grows to a medium height, and has thick and heavy fodder. The 

 variety has yielded 120 bushels per acre. One of the smallest cobs of any Corn 

 known to the size of the ear. Matures from 110 to 120 days. Pk. SI. 25. 

 Bu. S4.50. 



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 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. Pk. S1.25. 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 Bed Cob Ensilage and is 10 to 12 days 

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

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



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 

 3 inches. Sow 5 lbs. per acre. Lb. 15c. 



1215. Collier's Excelsior 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. Pk. S1.25. Bu. S4.50. 



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

 the ears about 33^ 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 Corn in 

 every way. It produces a better crop 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. Pk. SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



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. Pk. SI. 75. Bu. S5.50. 



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. Lsed for general crop. 

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



1179. Blount's Prolific. One of the largest yielding varieties for the 

 South, producing 3 to 6 ears of white, flinty Corn to the stalk. Makes excellent 

 meal. Pk. S1.25. Bu. S4.50. 



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

 drical, 9 to 11 inches long, averaging twenty rows, some eighteen and twenty- 

 two. Grain very deep, a little rough. Cobs white of medium size. Pk. 

 SI. 25. Bu. S4.50. 



1069. Connecticut Field or Large Yellow Pumpkin. Excellent for 

 growing in Corn. Lb. 70c. 



105834- Kentucky Field Pumpkin. Very large and flat, grown exten- 

 sively and profitably in cornfield. Lb. 75c. 



Kaffir Corn— The Great Forage Plant 



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

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

 broadcast at the rate of a peck of Kaffir Corn 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 

 Kaffir Corn should be sown broadcast at the rate of from % to 1 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. S2.50. 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. S2.50. 

 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 cut- 

 tings 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 3i bus. per acre. When 

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

 Please write for lowest prices. 



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

 sorghum, somewhat s imi lar to the Kaffir Corn, valuable for both forage and 

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

 50 lbs. $2.50. 



1158. Early Orange Sorghum. 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.
