QI/INT DE/IUTT FIELD CORN. 



In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and long-sought-for variety > 

 viz.: A very large ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Uent Corn. Giant Beauty 

 is a cross between Cloud's Early Dent and Golden Beauty, possessing the earliness 

 and Deep Grain of the former, with the liandsonie deep yellowy color and 

 breadth of grain of the latter. It is absolutely the largest grained of all yellow 

 corn. Its small red cob and great depth of grain are well shown in the accompany- 

 ing illustration made from an average ear. Its rich, deep golden color and tine 

 quality of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal, and indicate its strong, 

 nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous gro'u'er, taking strong hold in the ground 

 and avei'aging eight feet in heiglit. producing two large ears, well filled to the ex- 

 treme ends of the cob, even on light and poor land. Giant Beauty presents the 

 most perfect type of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced. Pkt., lOc; ear, 25c.: lb.,

MEW FIELD CORM-DELflWflRE DENT. 



For some years Delaware and Chester, adjoining counties in Pennsylvania, have 

 given the largest yields of corn per acre of any district in the United States. This 

 variety, although quite new, is already very popular there, and is regarded as the 

 most productive of any corn grown in these counties; ears large, grain bright yel- 

 low and of great depth, maturing in 110 to 120 days from planting. It is one of the 

 best. Pkt., lOc; lb., 30o.; 3 lbs., 75c., post-paid; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.00; sack of 2 

 bush., $3.75, by freight. 



inrROYED LEflniNQ CORM. 



Previous to our introduction of The 100-Day Bristol Corn, the Improved 

 Learning has been considered the earliest Y^ellow Dent in cultivation. The ears are 

 large and handsome, with deep grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. 

 Stalks grow to medium size (not large) with few suckers, producing two good ears to 

 eiich stalk ; husks and shells easily. One hundred and thirty-six bushels shelled corn 

 have been grown to the acre on good corn ground. It is also adapted to a greater 

 variety of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on light or heavy 

 land, where other varieties would not thrive. Prices by mail, post-paid, pUt., 10c. ; 

 lb., 30c ; 3 lbs., 75c.; by freight or express, bags included, qt., 15c.; peck, 50c.; bush., 

 81.26; 10 bush, and over, $1.10 per bush. 



WHITE CflF YELLOW DEMT QORN. 



The originator, Mr. C. S. Clark, of Ohio, makes the following strong claims for 

 this new corn ; "It combines more solid merit than any other early corn, for it grows 

 larger ears and is a better sheller and from one week to ten days earlier, and on 

 poor thin soil will out-vield others by at least thirty per cent. Tlie tip ends of the 

 grains are white, the inside yellow, making it of beautiful color both on cob and 

 when shelled." Expert corn growers pronounce it a perfect field corn, as to yield, 

 size of ears, color, size of cob and growth of fodder. No corn in the world will yield 

 as well on poor thin land, while on strong rich land it Is wonderfullv productive. 

 Pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 7.5c., post-paid ; qt., 15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., Si.50 ; bag of 2 

 bush., S2.75; 10 bush, and over, 81.35 per bush. 



RED CO^ EN5IL/IQE CORN. 



This new and superior ensilage corn we can recommend as the heaviest crop- 

 ping variety in cultivation, producing fifty to seventy-five tons per acre. It has 

 been thoroughly tested in all dairy sections of the coimtry. It is a pure white Dent 

 Corn of large size and handsome appearance, growing on a red cob. The fodder is 

 sweet, tender, juicy, and said to contain more nourishment than any other variety. 

 It grows thirteen to fourteen feet in height. Peck, 40c.; bush., $1.25 ; 10 bush, and 

 over, $1.00 per bush.
