FLINT CORN. 



10 bushels and upwards, $1.50 per bushel. 



LONGFELLO W.-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. One 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. 



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. Ears 10 to 12 inches long. 

 Stalks 8 to 10 feet in height. Ears well filled. 

 15 cts. quart ; 50 cts. peck ; $i.6o bushel.

 ears, large and well filled, kernels white and 

 of fine quality. A productive and first-class 

 sort. 15 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel. 



LARGE YELLOW FLINT. — (Early 



Canada Yellow). Similar to the above except- 

 ing in color ; largely grown in the extreme 

 north ; matures in about 90 days. 15 cts. quart ; 

 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 bushel. 



KING PHILIP. — Coppery red. Very 

 early. This is one of the oldest and best known 

 of the flint varieties. Usually matures three 

 months after planting. Ears large sized and 

 handsome, measuring 10 to 12 inches long. 15 

 cts. quart; 50 cts. peck ; $1.60 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 en- 

 silage in the Nort iern States, as well as for the 

 grain. 15 cts. quart ; 50 cts. peck ; $1.50 bushel.
