THE 1 00 -DAT BRI5T0L. 



The Largest Eared, Earliest Yellow Dent 

 Corn in Cultivation. 



100-DAY BRISTOL COKN. In the lOO-Day Bristol 



we believe we have a corn of such greater value that it will 

 supplant even the Learning on every farm where that variety 

 is now grown. The 100-Uay Bristol was first pointed out 

 to us by the well-known seed farmers, Messrs. Myers & Bow- 

 man, of Bucks County, Pa., who, with a few neighbors, liad 

 been growing it to the exclusion of all other varieties, owing 

 to its great earliness and wonderful productiveness, one 

 liuudred bushels to the acre being no imconimon yield. 



Three years ago, when we first saw this corn growing in 

 the field, with its euonuous stalks and todder, twice the 

 height of an ordinary-sized man, and its magnificent ears, 

 averaging about a foot in length, as shown in above photo- 

 graph, we were inclined to doubt its earlinc.«s. But after a 

 careful test by ourselves and a number of our customers, the 

 past four seasons, we have found it cut ami shocked ready 

 for luisking in ninety-five to one hundred days from the lime 

 the seed was planted. The grain is a Iiglit yellow, large and 

 broad; the cob is small, considering the size of tlie ear. It 

 will produce as much fodder and more corn than the famous 

 Chester County Maunuoth and other late varieties, which re- 

 quire three to tour weeks longer to ripen. In fact, it is a 

 perfect field corn ia all respects. Prices of Extra Se- 

 lected Seed: Pkt., 10c : ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., post-

 highly reconniiended for poultry; the best egg-producing 

 food known. The leaves make splendid fodder, much rel- 

 islied by all kinds of stock. The seed is good feed for horses, 

 and yields a fine quality of oil. The strong, thick stalks are 

 used for fuel. Oz., 5c.; qt., 15c. (qt., post-paid, 25c.); pecl^

Jerusalem Artichoke Roots. 



This variety is not produced from seed. They are some- 

 times used as a table vegetable when pickled, but their 

 greatest value is for feeding stock. They are the best hog 

 food known. They are remarkable for their fattening pro- 

 perties, great productiveness (over one thousand bushels 

 having been grown on one acre), and ease with which they 

 can be grown. They need not be dug; the hogs should be 

 turned in on them, and will help themselves by rooting. One 

 acre will keepfromtwenty to thirty hogs in fine condition from 

 October until April, except when the ground is frozen too 

 hard for them to root. They are also said to be a preventive 

 of cholera and other hog diseases; and they are also highly 

 recommended for milch cows, increasing the yield of milk 



and at the same time 

 imprcA'ing their eondi- 

 ' bushels will 

 i. They 

 the same 

 as potatoes, one eye to 

 a cut being sufficient, 

 planted in April or 

 May, in rows three feet 

 apart and two feet in 

 the rows, and covered 

 about two inches deep. 

 They can lie shipped at 

 any time during the 

 season, as they are not 

 injured bv freezing.
