JOHNSON & STOKES’ NEW 
GIANT BEANTY FIELD CORN. 
In the new Giant Beauty we havea very valua- 
ble and long sought for variety, viz: A very large 
ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent 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 handsome deep 
yellow 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 accompanying illustration made 
from an average ear. Its rich, deep golden color and 
fine quality of grain make it very superior for grind- 
ing into meal, and indicate its strong nutritive 
qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking strong 
hold in the ground and averaging eight feet in 
height, producing two large ears well filled to the 
extreme ends of the cob, even on light and poor 
land. Giant Beauty presents the most perfect type 
of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced, in every respect, 
and should be planted by all farmers who want to be 
abreast of the times. Pkt., 10c.; ear, 25c.; lb., 
40c.; 3 Ibs., $1.00, post-paid by mail. By 
express or freight, peck, 80c.; bush., $2.50; sack 
of 2 bush., $4.50.

Yellow Dent Corn in Cultivation, ripening in 
ninety to a hundred days from time of planting, sur- 
-passing the Yellow Canada and Flint varieties in 
earliness, productiveness and quality. 
g It is not a hard, flinty corn, but sweet and nutri- 
tious, making excellent feedand the finestmeal. The 
ears are large and handsome, with deep large 
grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. 
Stalks grow to medium size (not large) with few 
suckers, tapering gradually from root to top, produc- 
ing two good ears to each stalk, husks and shells 
easily. One hundred and thirty-six bushels

Gourd Seed, which it resembles in some respects, 
ripening earlier. The ears are of good size,with very

CLOUD’S EARLY YELLOW DENT. 
This corn was originated some years ago by Jas. 
Cloud, a prominent Chester County farmer. It has 
taken first premiums wherever it has been exhibited. 
It has a fine, rich appearance, weighs well, starts 
early and with a strong stalk as soon as it comes out 
of the ground; grows vigorously, though the stalks 
only’ range from seven to nine feet in height. It 
withstands severe droughts to a remarkable degree.

grained; sixty to seventy ears will yield a bushel of 
shelled corn. Matures early, and very productive.
