The Earliest Dent Corn. 



This new variety is a cross from Pride of 

 the North and has the smallest cob of any 

 Dent Corn in cultivation. It is also the very 

 earliest Dent Corn and is very profitable to 

 grow. By actual test 70 lbs. of ears have 

 shelled out 64}g lbs. of shelled corn, leaving 

 only 51^ lbs. of "cobs. It is just the coin for 

 northern farmers, as it will ripen farther 

 north than any other of its class. It grows 

 quick, rank, strong, has small cobs, very 

 long grains, and good-sized ears of a beautiful 

 yellow color.

Long Island. The eai-p are uniformly well filled out, and it will make more 

 shelled com to a given bulk of ears than any other variety. 15 cts. per quart ; 

 50 cts. per peck ; $1.75 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAIJXY.— This new com has given most excellent 

 satisfaction. At the Pennsylvania State Fair it was awarded first prize. 

 It is exceedingly productive ; a large proportion of the stalks pro 

 duce two fine ears. It is undoubtedly the largest grain and hand- 

 somest yellow corn. The oars are of perfect shape, with from 

 ten to fourteen i-ows, and filled out completely 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. Grows 8 to 10 feet high, and ma 

 tures early and surpasses all varieties of the Golden 

 Dent in size and beauty of grain and immense pro 

 ductiveness. In 1885, one farmer in Connecticut 



If wanted by mail add 15 cts. per quart for postage. Corn planted 

 requires eight to ten quarts per acre. 



HICKORY KING CORN.— This new white 

 field corn is entirely distinct and has the largest grains 

 with the smallest cob of any white corn. So large 

 arethe grains and so extreinely small the cob that 

 a single grain almost completely covers the cob 

 section. The stalks, of strong, vigorous 

 growth, generally bear two good ears 

 each, and occasionally three. It yields 

 splendid crops even on light soil, and 

 is undoubtedly the best and most 

 productive whito field corn, particu- 

 larly for the south. It is not, 

 however, considered a safe

9JUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE 



(Pride of the North.) (Early Golden 

 13eut.) 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 16ro>vs, 

 slightly tapering. The ker- 

 nels are closely set to- 

 gether on the cob, of a 

 light orange color at 

 the outer end, 

 darker in color 

 lower, and 

 makes excel- 

 lent meal. 

 The stalks

 grow 6 to 

 8 feet in 

 height, 

 producing 

 one or two 

 good ears 

 each. I t

LEANING. 



Ears are of 

 good size, 

 set low down, 

 and nearly al- 

 ways grow two 

 to each stalk. Very 

 small, red cob, with 

 a deep, long grain, of 

 a rich golden color. It 

 with stands severe 

 drought, attributable to its 

 earliness in maturing, strong 

 and vigorous growth, and its 

 stocky nature. It matures 

 reasonably early, and if planted 

 by the first of June, will gener- 

 ally ripen, and be fit to husk and 

 , crib early in September. Has j-ielded 

 one hundred bushels per acre. 

 -^ 15 cents per quart ; 50 cents per

 MAItlWIOXII ^WmXE SITR- 

 PRISEt — 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. per quart ; 50 cts. per peck ; 

 $1.75 per bushel. 

 CHESTER COUNTY MAMMOTH.— 

 One of the largest varieties of field corn in cultivation; 

 will outyield every other variety of yellow field corn, 

 excepting Golden Beauty. Under good cultivation it averages 

 100 to 140 bushels of shelled corn per acre. The ears are very large, 

 containing 14 

 to 32 rows of 

 medium- sized 

 yellow grains, 



very sweet and 

 nutritious. It fur- 

 nishes a large amount 

 of fodder, growing 12 

 to 16 feet high. It is, 

 undoubtedly, one of the 

 best yellow field varieties for 

 rich land in this latitude or the 

 South. 15 cts. per qt. ; 50 cts. per 

 peck; $1.75. per bushel. 

 FARMERS' FAVORITE — Eipcns early and hence succeeds 

 where many varieties will not mature. Produces unusually well, even on 

 light land. With ordinary cultivation it frequently yields ninety to one 

 hundred bushels of shelled corn per acre. The ears are of large size ; small, 

 red cobs, well filled out to the end, with large deep grains, of a most beauti- 

 ful, bright, golden-yellow color. Grows about 8 to 10 feet high. 15 cts. per 

 quart; 50 cts. per peck; 51.75 per bushel.

The Earliest LARGE Dent Corn. 



Produces large ears for an early variety. It 

 grows strong at a medium height, with broad, 

 heavy leaves, and makes the finest shelled corn 

 in appearance of any, being purely Dent, of two 

 shades of white and yellow. We can recommend 

 the Mastodon as being one of the best large-eared 

 early corns in existence. Being early, it can be 

 used far north, where many other varieties would 

 not mature. Within eight miles of Lake Erie this 

 corn ripened within ninety to one hundred days. 



15 cts. per quart ; 50 cts. per peck ; $1.75 per bushel.
