Golden Beauty. The ears are of perfect shape, with from ten to sixteen straight rows of bright golden grains of the largest size, 

 which are tilled out to the extreme end of the cob. It is easily shelled, and is in every respect seemingly a perfect type. It 

 is a vigorous grower, attaining from eight to ten feet in height, and each stalk produces from one to two ears. Matures as 

 early as most varieties of Golden Dent, and surpasses all in size, appearance and productiveness. It has prodiiced 100 

 bushels of shelled corn per acre under ordinary culture in Pennsylvania. 15 cts. per qt.; 60 cts. per peck; $2.00 per bushel. 



Queen of the Prairie. One of the most valuable and reliable varieties of dent corn that we know of. The specimen shown 

 in our colored plate last year was a fair average sized ear. The stalk usually attains a height of from six to seven feet, 

 bearing one or two good ears of from fourteen to sixteen rows each. In this latitude it has matured a full crop in less than 

 ninety days. 15 cts. per qt. ; 60 cts. per peck ; S'2.00 per bushel. 



Golden Dew Drop. Our portrayal of this in colored plate of last year was almost an exact reproduction, both as to size and 

 color. It is a most reliable sort for northern planting, as it grows quickly and matures early. It is what is known as a 

 flint variety, is eight-rowed, looks a little like the Canada Yellow, but the grain is brighter in color. As a rule, the flint 

 varieties are not as good yielders as the dent sorts, but the Golden Dew-Drop produces two and three ears to the stalk. 

 The stalks will average six feet in height. 15 cts. per qt. ; 60 cts. per peek ; $2.00 per bushel. 



King Philip. Very early. Usually matures three mouths after planting. Ears ten to twelve inches long. Kernel copper 



colored, smooth aud of the flinty order. 15 cts. per qt. ; 60 cts. per peck : $2.00 per bushel. 

 LeaminEf. Ears of good size, cob red aud small, with a deep large grain of bright yellow. It is an early variety, a strong grower, 



and its leafy character enables it to stand up until ripe, thus making it especially valuable in dry seasons. 15 cts. per qt. ; 



60 cts. per peck ; $2.00 per busheL 



Longfellow. A variety well adapted for the Northern States. It is an eight-rowed yellow flint sort, with ears from 10 to 15 

 inches long, of an average diameter of l> a inches. Cob small, grain large and broad. 15 cts. per qt. ; 60 cts. per peck ; 

 $2.00 per bushel. 



Mammoth White Surprise. A new sort with large ears and very small cob. The ears are from 12 to 14 inches long, with 

 from 14 to 28 rows of very large, deep grains. Very productive. Said to yield from 75 to 125 bushels of shelled corn per 

 acre, according to soil and season. Specially adapted to sections from Pennsylvania south. 15 cts. perqt; 60 cts. per 

 peck ; 2.00 per bushel. 



Compton's Early. Yellow variety, ears 10 to 12 inches long. Very early and prolific. Stalk 8 to 10 feet in height. Ears well

 I have had such great success this season with your White Plume Celery that I feel it a duty to express my gratification to you. Its mar- 

 velous beauty is equaled by its quality. C. JOHNSON.
