THE lOO-D/lT PRI5T0L CORN. 



The Larg-est Eared, Earliest Yellow Dent Corn. 



In the 100-Day Bristol we believe we hare a corn of such greater value 

 that it will supplant even the lyeaming on every farm where that variety is 

 now grown. The 100-Day Bristol was first pointed out to us by the well- 

 known seed farmers, Messrs. Myers and Bowman, of Bucks County, Pa., 

 who, with a few neighbors, had been growing it to the exclusion of all 

 other varieties, owing to its great earliness and wonderful productiveness, 

 one hundred bushels to the acre being no uncommon yield. 



Four years ago, "when we tir.-t saw this corn growing in the field, ^-ith 

 its enormous stalks and fodder, twice the height of an ordinary-sired 

 man, and its magnificent ears, averaging about a foot in lengtli, as shown in 

 photograph alongside, we were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after a 

 careful test by ourselves and a number of our customers, Ihe past three sea- 

 sons, we liave found it cut and shocked ready for husking in ninety-tive to 

 one hundred days from the .time the seed was planted. The grain is a light 

 yellow, large and broad ; the cob is small considering the size of the ear. It 

 will produce as much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County 

 Mammoth and other late varieties, which require three to four weeks longer 

 to ripen. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices of
