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, j^et by forty years of inteUigent selection, it has 

 become the earliest large white Dent Corn we know of and is quite distinct from the original 

 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 Eure!>;a 

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



Price, 25c. per qt. ; 90c. per peck; $3.25 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $3.15 per busheK

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

QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE. {Pride of the 

 North.) This variety is valuable to grow 

 North as it matures early. Planted as late 

 as ]vl\y 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, 20c. per qt. ; 80c. per peck ; 

 $2.75 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, 20c. per qt. ; 80c. per 

 pk. ; $2.75 per bushel.

 purely Dent. Price, 20c. per qt. ; 80c. per 

 peck; $2.75 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. This Corn lias 

 given great satisfaction. It is exceedinplv- 

 productive; a large proportion of the stalks 

 produce two fine ears. The ears are (jf 

 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 qualit}^ of grain

 meal. Price, 20c. per qt. : 80c. per peck; 

 $2.75 per bushel. 



HICKORY KING. Has the largest grain v 

 with the smallest cob of any white Corn. The

 delphia. Will make niore shelled Corn to a 

 given bulk of ears than any other variety. Price, 

 20C. per qt.; 80c. per peck; $2.75 per bushel.

 the North. It has the smallest- cob of any

 Northern farmers — grows quick and strong, 

 and has small cobs, very long grains, and 

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