While the raiser, Mr. James Wood, of Westchester County, N. Y., ex-President of the 

 New York State Agricultural Society, does not claim this to be a new variety, having 

 originally been a white Southern Corn, yet by forty years of intelligent selection, it has 

 become the earliest large white Dent Corn we know of and is quite distinct from the origin.il 

 parent. It will ripen in Connecticut, New York State (except in that portion north of 

 Rochester and Troy), Southern Michigan, Southern Wisconsin, etc.,' and being vastly 

 superior in every respect to the flint varieties and the small Dent Corns usually raised, 

 will be by far the most profitable sort in latitudes north of New York City, where the Eureka 

 cannot safely be planted. Plant 8 to 10 quarts per acre if in hills. {See engraving.) 



Price, 20c. per qt. ; 80c. per peck; $2.75 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel. 

 EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW THE NAME 

 "/ bought a bushel of Wood's Early Northern While Dent Corn from you in the spring, which was planted 

 at once. You should have seen the field this fall, loaded down with great ears of Corn, and with stalks lo feet 

 high. People passing by stopped to find out the name of the corn I was growing."

From all the varieties offered belov>/, in lots of 1 bushels and upward, 



deduct 1 cents per 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 

 1st. The ears grow 8 to 10 inches in length, 

 from 14 to 16 rows, slightly tapering. The 

 kernels are closely set together on the cob, 

 light orange in color and make excellent 

 meal. Price, 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per peck; 

 $2.50 per 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 early, and if planted not later 

 than the first of June, will generally ripen, 

 and be fit to husk and crib early in Sep- 

 tember. Price, 15c. per qt.; 75c. per peck; 

 $2.50 per bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW. An early 



variety, said to produce 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. Price, 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per 

 pk.; $2.50 per bushel. 



EXTRA EARLY HURON. As early 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. Price, 

 15c. per qt.; 75c. per peck; $2.50 per bushel. 



EARLY MASTODON. {The Earliest 

 Large Dent Corn.) Produces large ears for 

 an early variety. . It grows strong at a me- 

 dium height, with broad, heavy leaves, and 

 makesa fineshelled Corn in appearance, bein;.; 

 purely Dent. Price, 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per 

 peck; $2.50 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. This Corn has 

 given great satisfaction. It is exceedingh^ 

 productive; a large proportion of the stalks 

 produce two fine ears. The ears are of 

 perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen 

 rows, and filled out 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. Price, 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per peck; 

 $2.50 per bushel. 



HICKORY KING. Has the largest grains 

 with the smallest cob of any white Corn. The 

 stalks of strong, vigorous growth, generally 

 bear two good ears each. It is not, how- 

 ever, considered a safe crop north of Phila- 

 delphia. Will make 7nore shelled Corn to a 

 giveti bulk of ears than any other variety. Price, 

 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per peck; $2.50 per bushel. 



EARLY BUTLER. A cross from Pride of 

 the North. It has the smallest cob of any 

 Dent Corn in cultivation. It is also the 

 very earhest Dent Corn and is very profit- 

 able to grow. It is just the Dent Corn for 

 Northern farmers — grows quick and strong, 

 and has small cobs, very long grains, and 

 good-sized ears. Price, 15c. per qt. ; 75c. per 

 peck; $2.50 per bushel.
