JOHNSON'S THOROUGHBRED FIELD CORN 



Selected for Seed — Tested for Vitality 



THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD CORN 



When a few years since, before naming and introducing it, I first 

 saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and 

 fodder, one-half again as high as an ordinary -sized man, and its magni- 

 ficent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in the photo- 

 graph, I was inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it 

 ourselves and on the farms of hundreds of customers, we have found it 

 cut and shocked ready for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days 

 from the time the seed was planted. The grain is a light yellow; 

 the cob is small considering the size of the ear. It will produce as 

 much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County Mam- 

 moth and other late varieties, which require three to four weeks 

 longer to ripen. It is very high in protein, making it a fine ensilage 

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



pkt., 10c; ear, 25c; lb.,
