brightest golden yellow grains,of remark~ 
able size, and filled out compietely 
to the extreme end of thecob. THE 
COES ARE UNUSUALLY SMALL; 
when broken in half the grains will 
always reach across. The illustration 
isan exact representation of half an ear. 
The richness of color and fine quality of 
grain make it very superior for grinding 
into meal. The grains are not of a hard, 
flinty type, neither are they so soft as to be 
greatly shriveled, as is the Golden Dent. \ 
The ears are easily shelled, although the © 
kernels are firm on the ear, and in every| 
respect presents as perfect a type as| 
could be desired. The stalk takes a\ 
strong holdin the ground; grows vigorously 
to a height of eight to ten feet. This year 
I offer seed grown for me by the 
originator-of Golden Beauty. Wor 
the last six years he has continued 
by careful selection to greatly im- 
prove this magnificent variety until 
it is mow far better than ever it was 
before, and my seed is certainly 
worthy the mame Improved. Pkt.,

HICKORY KING.—Hasthe smallest cob and largest grainsand 
is the most valuable and reliable White Corn in cultivation. It 
will shell more and weigh more to a given measure, make more ears to a stalk 
and bear planting closer than any other field variety of white corn in the world. 
As the stalks are never barren, no matter how thin the soil, you are always sure 
to get a crop of the Hickory Kimg. Itripens in from 100 to 120 days from 
planting, shells and husks easily, and makes as much fodder to the acre as other 
kinds. It is unusually productive, nearly always 2 and very often 3 good ears to 
a stalk. The ears have a thin husk, uncommonly small cob. By breaking an 
ear in half, one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. Both ends filled full 
out to the end ofthe cob. Pkt. 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 3 lbs., 75 ets., postpaid. By ex-

_ ELOUR CORN.—This southern variety will produce from three to five 
times as much per acre as wheat (owing to climate and soil), makes Bread, 
Cakes, Rolls, Biscuits, Waffles, etc., as light and good as those made from the 
best wheat flour. It will yield twice as many bushels as common varieties of 
field corn, and four times as much fodder. Makes fine roasting ears, hominy, 
and beautiful starch. The same process is used as in grinding and bolting wheat. 
It should be planted same as other corn, 2 grains to the hill, and grows well on 
any land where Indian Corn is grown. It must, however, to mature in this 
latitude, be planted by the Ist to the 20th of May, as it requires at the very least 
as long a season as Chester County Mammoth to mature. Whe stalks stool

CHAMPION WHITE PEARL.—Originated in Illinois and is enor- 
mously productive, a strong grower, matures in about 100 days. The stalk is 
stout and thick, andears are set low. I offer the direct headquarters stock. Pkt., 
from the ground like sorghum, and grow 7 to 8 feet high, each grain pro- 
ducing four to six stalks, as when it is ‘8 to 10 inches high it begins to tiller up 
like wheat, one hill making an armful of fodder. This one quality is sufficient 
to recommend it, for it makes it yield more and better fodder than any corn in 
cultivation. It averages10 ears to the hill; ears from 5 to 7 inches in circum-

PRIDE OF THE NORTH,—One of 
the earliest Demts in cultivation, and has 
been grown farther North than any other Gol- 
den Dent I know of, and matured a crop. } 
Planted on the fourth day of July, it has fully 
matured before frost, and it also has been 
planted as a second crop after wheat harvest, 
ference, and from 8 
prolific, 100 bushels per acre haying been 
grown; will grow wonderfully well on poor 
soil, and makes no suckers. I can sately 
recommend it as earlier than any other variety 
of Yellow Dent Corn. Mastodon is the earliest 
of the large eared Dent varieties; but Pride of | 
the North, growing a smaller ear and stalk, is 
even earlier. It is just the variety for all my 
customers to plant who desire a first-class extra

D. H. Logan, Fisher, Texas: ‘‘Our drouth in June and July both done us up 
generally on a corn crop; but I had some Maule’s Mastodon that I raised last year 
from seed bought of you, which beat the drouth and got here first, and was made 
before the dry hurt it much, I will plant nothingelse next year, and from fresh 
seed from you.” 
Jesse Sharp, Buckhannon, W. Va.: ‘‘The Mastodon Corn I got from you proved 
to be a success. I have the finest corn from it this season that I ever saw grown.” 
E. C. Patrick, Fulton, Ky.: ‘I consider the Mastodon the best corn I have ever 
seen. On account of the drouth here, it has not done as much as it would otherwise, 
but I think [ had a very good yield. I counted 7650 good ears of corn on one acre.

ofa Dent variety, nearly always two good ears 
to the stalk. Im good soil, well manured, 
has produced by actual measurement 
134 bushels of shelled corm per acre. 
Stalks grow to a medium size, and produce 
but few suckers, ears large and handsome, ot 
a deep orange color and small red cob. Some

CHESTER CO. MAMMOTH CORN.—There have been hundreds of 
thousands of bushels of worthless stuff, Chester County Mammoth only in name, 
distributed all over the country. If you want the genuine, send direct 
to headquarters. The Chester County Mammoth Corn, wherever introduced, 
has given universal satisfaction, both on account of its large yield, fime 
quality of grain and superb fodder. The strain of Chester County Mam- 
moth Corn I offer for sale has been brought to its present perfection by untiring 
care and judicious skill of several of the most scientific corm growers 
of Chester County, being strictly pure, and saved only from the finest ears 
of the most productive fields. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30!cents; 3 pounds, 75 
cents, postpaid. Peck, 75 cents; bushel, $2.00; 2 bushel sack, $3.50.

FARMERS’ FAVORITE GOLDEN DENT CORN.—This variety, 
produced after eight years’ skillful selection and careful cultivation by one of 
our most scientific and practical corn-growers, was first introduced by us 
to public notice, being confident that it would prove worthy of a place in the 
front rank of the best and most popular varieties of field corn. The grains are 
very deep, the cobs bright red, extremely small and well-filled. It is easily 
shelled. The corn does not get too hard for feeding, but is easily digested, and 
nutritious. 70 pounds of ears of this variety will average 6 to8 quarts more than 
a measured bus. Marmers who desire an early and prolific corn can= 
not fail to be suited with the “Farmers’ Favorite.’ Pkt., 10c.; 1b., 30e.;
