well covered by the husk, which is the 

 case with all Northern varieties. When 

 selected and planted here for a few 

 years, it becomes acclimated and makes 

 an excellent Corn, with lar;2;e, fine ears, 

 grain deep and cob of medium size. 



Early Yellow Canada. A long 

 eight-rowed variety. It is very early, 

 and is planted in both the field and gar- 

 den. It does weJl here. 



Lai'i^c IVIiite Flint. A very popu- 

 lar variety with gardeners and ama- 

 teurs. It is planted here for table use 

 principally, but like the Golden Dent, 

 makes an excellent kind for field cultuie 

 after it has been planted here for two or 

 three years. 



BlunrsProime Field Corn. This 

 is a very excellent variety, either for the 

 field or for the table. It is very prolific, 

 producing from four to six ears of corn 

 They are of medium size, but well filled 

 and heavy. It is second earl^^ This 

 variety has done better than any othei, 

 and, being of Southern origin, it seems 

 to be better adapted to our climate. I 

 recommend it as an early yielding Corn 

 for field culture. 



Improved 'Learning'. An extia 

 early variety, sold by me for the first 

 time six years ago. It is not hard and 

 flinty, but sweet and nutritious, making 

 excellent feed and fine meal. The ears 

 are large and handsome, with deep large 

 grains, deep orange color and small red 

 cob. It is very productive. The shucks 

 cover the ear better than any Northern 

 or Western variety I have ever tried. It 

 is adapted to a variety of soils, and pro- 

 duces well on heavy or light soil ; it has 

 shown itself as very reliable. 



$j«o]€len BeaiBty. This variety is the 

 handsomest of all yellow corn ; the eai •, 

 are of a perfect shape, long, and filled 

 out to the extreme end of the cob. The 

 grains are not of a fiinty type, neither 

 are they so soft as to be greatly shrivel! 

 ed, as in the Golden Dent. Golden 

 Beauty matures early, ripening in eighb\ 

 days from planting, and suri^asses all 

 in size and beauty of grain. 



Cliagnpiorfl l>Viiitc PearS. This is 

 a very handsome white corn. Tiie gram 



is pure white, exceedingly heavy and 

 long, two of which will span the cob,, 

 which is small. Being medium in size 

 of stalk it can be planted much thicker 

 than a large Corn, and at the same time 

 bear a full sized ear. The originator has 

 established in Champion White Pearl 

 Corn a short, thick stalk, with the ear
