LONGFELLOW.—A large 8-rowed yellow 
flint variety well adapted for the Northern States. 
This fine field corn is the result of careful selec- 
tion in a family of Massachusetts farmers for 
45 years. 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 yel- 
low. 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 ex- 
tensively grown. Oue grower reports 115 bush- 
els shelled corn from an acre. This is the vari- 
ety that took the first premium among the flint 
corns at the great exhibition at Chicago a few 
years ago. 15 cts, qt.; 50 cts. pk.; $1.60 bush.

known yellow flint variety, ripening in from 76

handsome, measuring 10 to 12 inches long. 15 
cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel.
