 has made it very popular with Itie fanners, atid 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. Please write us for lowest i»rices. 



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 cro[)pin;j Yellow Corns in cultivation. It makes a large-sized ear, small 

 cob, di'ep ^Tains which are ot a bright, attractive golden yellow color. It is 

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

 able condiliims 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-classlarge yielding 

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

 early, ears are not excessively 'arge, 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. iSevenly 

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

 market it weighs out live 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. Please write us for lowest prices.

 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.

 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 bv itself 

 Kaffir Corn should be sown broadcast at the rate of from ^X to 1 bushel per
