Selected Varieties of FLINT CORN Plant 8 to 10 Quarts per acre 



EXTRA EARLY YELLOW 



It yields 75 to 85 bushels of shelled Corn per acre and can be shelled and 

 ground earlier than any other variety. It is especially adapted to Northern 

 conditions (cool nights and short summers) , and under favorable conditions 

 the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, fre- 

 quently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set 

 with large, broad kernels. The stalks are medium height. In ordinary 

 seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can be shelled and ground for 

 feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable 

 n sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. 

 It is the earliest maturing corn for northern states. (See En- 

 graving.) 



Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.10; bushel S3. 50; 

 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



LONGFELLOW 



A large 8-rowed Yellow Flint variety well adapted for the Northern 

 States. The ears are long, some of them measuring 15 inches, and often- 

 times two or more good specimens on one stalk. Grain large and broad and 

 yellow. The cob is quite small but it is the largest variety of Yellow 

 Field Corn safe to plant in the latitude of Massachusetts, where it is quite 

 extensively grown. 



Price, qt. 50c; peck SI. 10; bushel S3. 50; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



KING PHILIP 



Coppery-red. Very early. Usually matures three months after planting. 

 Ears large sized and handsome. 10 to 12 inches long. 

 Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.10; bushel $3.50. 



LARGE WHITE 



Valuable for ensilage in the Northern states as well as for the grain. 

 Handsome ears, large well-filled kernels, fine quality. Price, qt. 50c; 

 peck SI. 10; bushel $3.50; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



CORN for FODDER and ENSILAGE 



Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre if in hills. Broadcast 2 bu. per acre 



SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is 

 very leafy and well adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this corn are 

 sold by feed and other stores which usually result in disappointment to the 

 farmer. There is no corn seed more difficult to cure or keep properly, and 

 much of it is kiln-dried, while large quantities have been stored in elevators 

 and gone through a sweating process which has destroyed the germ. The 

 stock we offer is carefully selected, sun-dried and of high germination. 



Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.10; bushel $3.50. 



IMPROVED EARLY HORSE TOOTH. Being nearly 

 two weeks earlier, this variety is better adapted for fodder and ensilage in 

 the Northern States than the ordinary Southern Horse Tooth. 



Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.50. 



EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER. Fodder grown from the 

 Evergreen Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary field 

 varieties, being richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan is to 

 sow in rows 24 to 30 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 



Price, qt. 40c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



5»ht 1 rUDL/Ii.K.. Best for cutting and feeding green during 

 the summer months. This is better than any field Corn, from the fact that 

 it is so very sweet and nutritious that cattle will eat every part of the stalk 

 and leaves with relish. Drill thickly, in rows three feet apart using 1J4 

 bushels of seed per acre. 



Price, qt. 40c; peck SI. 00; bushel $3.00. 



SORGHUMS &c. FOR FEED 



DOURA YELLOW BRANCHING. iYe iiow mho Maize) 



Earlier than the Rural Branching and of taller growth, often attaining a 

 height of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not stool out quite as much from the 

 ground, although it branches out from the joints. 

 Price, lb. 25c; 100 lbs. $15.00. 



SORGHUM Or SUGAR CANE. Earl y Amber. Of great 

 value for cutting green and feeding green during hot weather in summer, 

 when pastures are apt to be burned up. Being a tropical plant, it makes its 

 best growth during just such weather, and cattle, horses and sheep relish it, 

 and it may be fed to them with safety. Sow in drills, 10 to 12 lbs. per acre; 

 broadcast 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Should be cut when about 2 feet high, and 

 will yield several such cuttings. Earlier than the Orange and may be 

 grown even in Northern States. Cured in the same way as a heavy crop 

 of Clover, it makes an excellent quality of hay. 

 Price, lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 



Early Orange. Produces a larger and heavier growth than the Amber 

 but is later. 



Price, lb. 25c; 10 lbs. S2.00; 100 lbs. $15.00.

 crooked brush, and re- 

 mains strictly green, con- 

 sequently always com-

 der plant, green or dried,
