EXTRA EARLY YELLOW 
It yields 75 to 85 bushels of shelled Corn per acre and can be shelled and 
ground earlier than any other variety. It is especially adapted to Northern 
Conditions (cool nights and short summers), and under favorable conditions 
the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, fre- 
quently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set 
with large, broad kernels. The stalks are medium height. ‘In ordinary 
seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can be shelled and ground for 
feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable 
in sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. 
It is the eartesy maturing corn for northern states. (See En- 
graving.

CORN for FODDER and ENSILAGE 
Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre if in hills. 
SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is 
very leafy and well adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this corn are 
Nera. by feed and other stores which usually result in disappointment to the 
farmer. There is no corn seed more difficult to cure or keep properly, and 
much of it is kiln-dried, while large quantities have been stored in elevators 
and gone through a sweating process which has destroyed the germ. The 
stock we offer is carefully selected, sun-dried and of high germination. 
Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.10; bushel $3.50. 
IMPROVED EARLY HORSE TOOTH. being nearly 
two weeks earlier, this variety is better adapted for fodder and ensilage in 
the Northern States than the ordinary Southern Horse Tooth. 
Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00. 
SORGHUMS &c. 
DOURA YELLOW BRANCHING. (yettow Mito Maize) 
Earlier than the Rural Branching and of taller growth, often attaining a 
height of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not stool out quite as much from the 
ground, although it branches out from the joints. 
Price, 1b. 30c.; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
SORGHUM or SUGAR CANE. gary amber. Of great 
value for cutting green and feeding green during hot weather in summer, 
when pastures are apt to be burned up. Being a tropical plant, it makes its 
best growth during just such weather, and cattle, horses and sheep relish it, 
and it may be fed to them with safety. Sow in drills, 10 to 12 lbs. per acre; 
broadcast 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Should be cut when about 2 feet high, and 
will yield several such cuttings. Earlier than the Orange and may be 
grown even in Northern States. Cured in the same way as a heavy crop 
of Clover, it makes an excellent quality of hay. 
Price, 1b. 25c.; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
Early Orange. Produces a larger and heavier growth than the Amber 
but is later. 
Price, lb. 25c.; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
_ der plant, green or dried,

- $15.00.

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER. fodder grown from the 
Evergreen Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary field 
varieties, being richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan is to 
sow in rows 24 to 30 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 
Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.00; bushel $3.25. 
SWEET FODDER. Best for cutting and feeding green during 
the summer months. This is better than any field Corn, from the fact that 
it is so very sweet and nutritious that cattle will eat every part of the stalk 
and leaves with relish. Drill thickly, in rows three feet apart using 1%4 
bushels of seed per acre. <I
