CATALOGUE FOR THE SOUTH. 



19 



For Sunday Dinner 



Steepler's Frencli Market. 



Com is the most important food crop 

 of the world for both m.an or beast and 

 to have the best results, it is necessary 

 to have first class Selected Seed to plant, 

 and especially of such varieties as have 

 been found from experience to be best 

 adapted for the South. Cheap, poorly select- 

 ed seed, usually produces a crop of very 

 inferior quality so it always pays to plant 

 the best. We handle all the best varieties 

 of Seed Corn, and have them selected for 

 us by growers who m.ake this their 

 business. 



CXrZiTUBX:. — Plant in hills about three 

 feet apart, drop four or five seeds and 

 thin out to two or three. Plant for a suc- 

 cession from February to June. Seed corn 

 that is in perfect condition to-day may be 

 unfit for use in three days, and we suggest 

 that you spread out all seed corn the 

 moment it is received from any seed 

 house or grower. The following informa- 

 tion was given us by an experienced Mis- 

 souri farmer: The only way to keep corn 

 free from weevils in a crib is to put a gallon 

 of coal oil at the four corners of the crib, 

 taking the corks off and allowing the oil 

 to evaporate. The fumes from the oil will 

 keep away the weevils and will not impair 

 the germination of the corn in any wav. 

 1 quart to 500 hills. 8 quarts to the acre. 

 Matures in 70 to 110 days.
