DENT VARIETIES. 
If wanted by mail add 15 cts. per quart for postage. Corn 
planted in hills requires eight to ten quarts per acre. 
HENDERSON'S. EUREKA. 
A PERFECT CORN. 
The Heaviest Yielder. 
The photograph gives a very inadequate idea of 
the magnificent appearance of this Corn. It is the 
result of the most careful aud persistent selection 
by a wealthy Pennsylvania farmer who makes 
fy Corn his hobby and his pride, For sixteen years 
YL he has, from a planting of So to roo acres, selected 
only the best ears at husking time, planting these 
by themselves and continuing this selection every 
year without interruption. 
He began the selection by offering his huskers 
five cents for every ear weighing two pounds and 
over, but that soon became 1u nous, and in later 
years a man was appointed at husking to do noth- 
ing but look out for ideal ears. 
The ear, always set low on the stalk, is 
immense, with small red cob, the grain a 
clear bright reddish yellow, large and of 
great depth, filled out full over both ends. 
It runs 18 to 22 rows, and an important feature of 
the selection clearly shown in the photograph is 
that the rows run even, the same number 
at tip and butt, thereby materially increasing 
the amount of shelled Corn per acre. Besides this 
system of selection he has purchased new varieties 
and crossed with his own if they showed any 
specially desirable features. 
Last season we tested it in our trial grounds 
| alongside every variety of its class which we could 
| procure, and none approached it in uniformity of 
| perfect large sized ears. May be planted with 
safety as far North as New York City, and even 
further North in favorable locations. As an indi- 
4 cation of its productiveness, a nine ‘acre field

All the varieties offered below in lots of 10 bushels and upwards, $1.50 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 the finest 
shelled corn in appearance of any, being purely Dent. We can 
recommend the Mastodon as being one of the best large-eared 
early corns in existence. 15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY. This new corn has given most ex- 
cellent satisfaction. At the Pennsylvania State Fair it was awarded 
first prize. It is exceedingly productive ; a large proportion of the 
stalks produce two fine ears, It is undoubtedly the largest grain 
and handsomest yellow corn, ‘The ears are of perfect shape, with 
from ten to fourteen rows, and filied 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. I5 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel. 
EXTRA EARLY HURON. Asearly 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, and we can recommend it as the most valuable Extra 
Early Dent Corn ever introduced. 15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; 
$1.60 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 Ist. The ears 
row 8 to Io inches in length, from 14 to 16 rows, slightly taper- 
ing. The kernels are closely set tegether on the cob, of a light 
orange color at the outer end, darker in color lower, and makes 
excellent meal. 15 cts. quart ; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 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. I5 cts. quart; 
50 cts. peck; $1 60 bushel. 
HUNDRED DAY BRISTOL. A very early variety of 
wonderful productiveness, The ears being remarkably large for 
such an early ripener; the grain isa light yellow, with small cob. 
15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 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. Has yielded one hundred 
bushels per acre. 15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel. 
WHITE CAP VELLOW. An early variety, said to pro- 
duce 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; 50 cts. peck ; 
$1.60 bushel. 
HICKORY KING. Entirely distinct and has the largest 
grains with the smallest cob of any white corn. So large are the 
grains and so extremely small the cob that a single grain almost 
completely covers the cob section. 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 Pennsylvania. 
Will make more shelled corn to a given bulk of ears than any 
other variety. 15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck; $1.60 bushel,
