Corns grown. Color deep yellow, with

ed; butts and tips almost entirely covered

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., 20c.; 
2 lbs., 50c., postpaid; 14 Ib. peck, $1.50; 56 
Ib. bu., $5.60, 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 1b., 30c.; 2 lbs., 45c., 
postpaid; 14 lb. peck, $1.25; 56 lb. bu., $4.00, 
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 lh., 25c.;,2 lbs., 
40c., postpaid; 14 lb. peck, $1.00; 56 1b. bu., 
$3.50, 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 drouth-proof 
and of extreme vitality. The cob being 
small, it dries out rapidly, while the cover 
is ripening, thus it is ready for feeding, 
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 Ib., 
25c.; 2 lbs., 45c., postpaid; 14 1h. peck, $1.25; 
56-1b. bu., $3.75, 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. Bars are from 7 to 
10 inches long; very productive. Packet, 
10c.; 11b., 25c.; 2lbs., 45c.; postpaid; 14 1b., 
peck, $1.50; 56 1b. bu., $4.00, 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 Ilb., 25c.; 2 Ilbs., 
45c., postpaid; 14 lb. peck, $1.25; 56 lb. bu., 
$3.75, 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 resister. 
Ears eight to twelve inches 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 Ib., 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 corn, 
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, $1.50; 56 
lb. bu., $4.00, not prepaid. —
