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, 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 aluxuriant 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 ascore of years ** Prosperity Corn” has been under the 
most watchful breeding and selection; the magnificent 
results more than pay for every effort putforth. 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 callit by any 
other name. “Prosperity” is undoubtedly the most attractive, the largest 
the finest, the greatest yielding Yellow Dent Corn ever produced. Pt. 1

Bo!giano’s Improved Golden Dent. This is a reimproved 
strain of the Golden Dent variety. There has been a great demand for Golden 
Dent corn ever since it has been grown. The ears are uniform and good size, 
extra small cob, one of the smallest of any yellow Corn growing. Shells easily 
and shells six (6) bushels to the measured barrel. Is good for both thin and 
rich land. On good land will yield from 140 to 160 bushels to the acre. Grains 
are very wide and deep, fills well out at each end, and matures from 90 to 100 
days. All progressive farmers and Corn growers should try this improved 
Golden Dent Corn. Yields from one to four ears to the stalk. Price, Pt. 15c.

Mammoth Golden Beauty Corn. Has the largest ears of any 
100-day Corn. It outyields many other Corns. The increased yields repay 
the seeds may 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.

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. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c.

J. Bolgiano & Son’s Wonderful ‘‘Prosperity’’? Corn 
1143. Improved Leaming Corn. Itsextreme 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. Pt.10c. Qt.1l5c. 4 Qts.45c. Pk. 75c. Bu. $2.50. 
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 Cornsin 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 
yellow corn, particularly adapted to the South, it is strongly recommended.

1213. lowa 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. Pt.10c. Qt. lic. 4 Qts. 35c. Pk. 60c. Bu. $2.50.

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. Price, Pt. 15c. 
4 Qts. 50c. Pk.90c. Bu. $3.00. 
*‘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. Pkt. 5c. Pt.10c. Qt.15c. 4 Qts. 35c. Pk. 60c. Bu. $2.00. 
1148. Bolgiano’s Guban 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 Cob Ensilage and is 10 to 12 days 
earlier. It 1s the most perfect Corn we have found in our years of experience.

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 5lbs. per acre. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 50c. Pk. 75c. Bu. $2.50. 
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. Pt. 15¢: Qt. 20c. 4 Qts. 50c. Pk. 80c. Bu.

Kaffir Corn—The 
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 
Kaffie Corn should be sown broadcast at the rate of from 34 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. 45c. Bu. $1.25. Write 
for latest prices. 
_ 1146. Early Amber Sorghum. Furnishes a large yield of most nutri- 
tious forage, which can be feed either green or cured, and will yield 2 or 3 
cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time itis cut. It grows 10 to 12feet 
high. Sow broadcast for forage at the rate of 1 to 134 bus. per acre. When 
sown in drills sow at the rate of 1 peck per acre in drills 314 to 4 feet apart.

1177. lowa Silver Mine Corn. Thestalks grow 7 to 8 feet high and set 
the ears about 314 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 itseif to unfavorable conditions. The ears bear 16 rows, 
very straight and close together. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c. 4 Qts. 35c. Pk. 60c.

1054. Red Cob 90-Day Corn. This Corn meets a long-felt want, 
because it can be used as aroasting 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. 40c. Pkt. 5c. Pt. 10c. Qt. 15c.
