DENT VARIETIES. 



All the varieties offered below in lots of 10 bushels and upwards, $1.85 per bushel. 



EARLY MASTODON. ( The Earliest Large Dent Corn.) Produces large ears for an early variety. 

 It grows strong at a medium height, with broad, heavy leaves, and makes a fine shelled coi-n in 

 appearance, being purely Dent. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. This corn has given most excellent satisfaction. It is exceedingly product- 

 ive ; a large proportion of the stalks produce two fine ears. The ears are of perfect shape, with from 

 ten to fourteen rows, and filled out completely to the extreme end of cob. The cobs are unusually 

 small. The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal. 

 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, S2.00 bushel. 



EXTRA EARLY HURON. As early as most of the flint corns, and may be grown even in the 

 most Northern States and in Canada. The grain is somewhat narrow, but long and deep, with small 

 cob. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE. {Pride of the North.) This variety is valuable to grow North, 

 as it matures early. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully matured by October 1st. The ears grow 

 8 to 10 inches in length, from 14 to 16 rows, slightly tapering. The kernels are closely set together 

 on the cob, of a light orange color at the outer end, darker in color lower, and makes excellent meal. 

 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



EARLY BUTLER. A cross from Pride of the North, and has the smallest cob of any Dent 

 Corn in cultivation. It is also the very earliest Dent Corn and is very profitable to grow. It is just 

 the corn for northern farmers — grows quick and strong, has small cobs, very long grains, and good- 

 sized ears. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



HUNDRED DAY BRISTOL. A very early variety of wonderful productiveness. The ears 

 being remarkably large for such an early ripener ; the grain is a light yellow, with small cob. 15 cts. 

 quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



LEAMING. Ears are of good size, set low down, and nearly always grow two to each stalk. 

 Very small, red cob, with a deep, long grain, of a rich golden color. It matures reasonably early, and 

 if planted by the first of June, will generally ripen, and be fit to husk and crib early in September. 

 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peek, $2.00 bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW. An early variety, said to produce better results on poor, thin or 

 sandy soil than any other variety, and is less affected by drought. The grain is handsome yellow in 

 color, with white tips. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, 2.00 bushel. 



HICKORY KING. Has the largest grains with the smallest cob of any white corn. The stalks, 

 of strong, vigorous growth, generally bear two good ears each, and occasionally three. It is not, 

 however, considered a safe crop north of Philadelphia. Will make more shelled com to a given bulk of 

 ears than any other variety. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



FLINT VARIETIES. 



10 bushels and upwards, $1.85 per bushel. 



LONGFELLOW. A large 8-rowed yellow flint variety well adapted for the Northern States. 

 The ears are remarkably long {see cut), some of them measuring 15 inches, and oftentimes two or 

 more good specimens grow on one stalk. Grain large and broad and yellow. The cob is quite small. 

 It is the largest variety of yellow field corn safe to plant in the latitude of Massachusetts, where it is 

 quite extensively grown. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



COMPTON'S EARLY. The earliest known yellow flint variety, ripening in from 76 to 85 days. 

 It is a handsome 10 and 12-rowed sort, very productive, and will ripen in the Northern States. 15 cts. 

 quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



LARGE WHITE FLINT. Handsome ears, large and well filled, kernels white and of fine 

 quality. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



LARGE YELLOW FLINT. {Early Canada Yellow.) Similar to the above excepting in color ;

 Ears large sized and handsome, 10 to 12 inches long. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



RURAL THOROUGHBRED WHITE FLINT. In appearance this closely resembles the old 

 white flint, but the plant branches and suckers more, and is therefore valuable for ensilage in the 

 Northern States, as well as for the grain. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel.

WHITE PEARL. Smooth -grained ears, 4 to 5 inches long, by % to 1% inches diameter, good 

 for either family or market use. 10 cts. lb. ; 100 lbs., $8 00.
