IMPERIAL WHITE DENT.— Very Scarce 

 — This is a one-to-two ear large variety, a 

 good heavy yielder, strong grower, resists 

 drought and wet better than any other corn 

 on account of its strong growing habit and 

 equally strong root system. It is not a fast 

 maturing corn; it takes from 3 to 4 weeks 

 longer than the Yellow Dent to mature. It 

 is strong enough to stand up after being 

 knocked down by storm even after the ears 

 are well developed. Packet, 10c. ; 1 lb., 35c.; 



2 lbs., 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.50; 56- 

 lb. bu., $4.50, not prepaid. 



HASTING'S PROLIFIC WHITE— This 



variety of corn is prolific even under un- 

 favorable conditions; two ears are formed 

 on a stalk. They are naturally small, 

 weighing from seven to nine ounces, but 

 the cobs are extremely small and the ker- 

 nels average more than one-half an inch 

 in depth. The production of two or more 

 ears on almost every stalk is one of the 

 reasons for the variety ranking so high in 

 yield. Packet, 10c. ; 1 lb., 30c.; 2 lbs., 45c., 

 postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.25; 56-lb. bu., $4.50, 

 not prepaid. 



IMPROVED YELLOW LEAMING.— A 



very popular and extremely productive va- 

 riety. On good land the stalks grow tall, 

 producing two good ears to each stalk. The 

 ears are long, with small red cob well filled 

 with grains of medium size of a rich 

 golden color. Packet, 10c. ; 1 lb., 25c.; 2 lbs., 

 40c., 'postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.00; 56-lb. bu., 

 $3.60, not prepaid. 



SILVER MINE.— This wonderful White 

 Dent Corn is one of the most extensively 

 grown in our locality, as it is adapted to 

 a wide range of conditions; is drougth- 

 proof and of extreme vitality. The cob 

 being small, it dries out rapidly, while the 

 cover is ripening, thus it is ready for feed- 

 ing, marketing and milling purposes fully 

 3 to 4 weeks earlier than native corn. It 

 will shell out 62 pounds of corn from 70 

 pounds of ears. Matures in 90 to 100 days. 

 One of the leading roasting ear varieties 

 for home use and shipping. Packet, 10c. ; 

 1 lb., 25c.; 2 lbs., 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. peck, 

 $1.25; 56-lb. bu., $4.00, not prepaid. 



HICKORY KING.— A prolific White Dent 

 Corn, with large grains and remarkably 

 small cob. Two and three ears are fre- 

 quently borne on a stalk. This corn comes 

 near being all corn and no cob, the grain 

 being so large that one of them will cover 

 the end of the cob. Ears are from 7 to 

 10 inches long; very productive. Packet, 

 10c. ; 1 lb., 25c.; 2 Ibs.,^ 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. 

 peck, $1.50; 56-lb. bu., $4.25, not prepaid. 



IOWA GOLD MINE. — One of the earliest 

 and best liked yellow corns. Pure yellow, 

 deep grains, a good yielder. It Is largely 

 planted during the early Spring for a quick 

 green feed crop and makes good silage. Has 

 been tried all over the South with splendid 

 results. Packet, 10c. ; 1 lb., 25c.; 2 lbs., 

 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.00; 56-lb. bn., 

 $3.50, not prepaid. 



DIAMOND JOE'S BIG WHITE. — A great 

 favorite throughout this section, largely 

 planted by the local gardeners for roasting 

 ears, and in this respect excels anything 

 we offer for shipping long distances. 

 Stalks are large, strong and robust, grow- 

 ing to a height of 8 to 12 feet, dependent 

 upon the condition of the land. It roots 

 very deep, thus a great drouth reslster. 

 Ears eight to twelve incTies long and seven 

 to eight inches in circumference; 16 to 20 

 rows, deep grains, solidly set on a medium 

 sized cob. Matures in about 100 days and 

 ready for market in about eighty days In 

 the green state. Packet, 10c. ; 1 lb., 25c.; 2 

 lbs., 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.50; 56-lb. 

 bu., $4.00, not prepaid. 



CHAMPION WHITE PEARL. — This is a 

 very handsome white corn. The grain is 

 pure white, exceedingly heavy and long. 

 Being medium in size of stalk, it can be 

 planted much thicker than a large com, 

 and at the same time bear a full-sized ear. 

 The originator has established in Cham- 

 pion White Pearl Corn a short, thick stalk, 

 an advantage in stormy weather. Planted 

 largely in this section by market gardeners 

 and for shipping. Packet, 10c.; 1 lb., 25c.; 

 2 lbs., 45c., postpaid; 14-lb. peck, $1.25; 56- 

 lb. bu., $3.75, not prepaid.
