The Golden Beauty is a large and broad grained yellow 
corn. Theears are of perfect shape, with from ten to four- 
teen straight rows of bright golden yellow grains, filled out 
completely to the extreme end of the cob. The cob is very 
small in comparison with the size of the ear, and when 
broken in half the grains will reach across. The richness of 
color and fine quality of grain make it vastly superior for 
grinding into meal. The stalks take strong hold in the 
ground, grow vigorously to a height of eight to nine feet. 
Golden Beauty matures in one hundred and ten days from 
planting. We have many favorable reports from customers 
who planted this corn, yielding in many cases at the rate of 
one hundred and twenty-five bushels tothe acre. Pricesby

EARLY ¥ MASTODON }GORN. 
A new early Dent variety, originated in Ohio. The ear 
is very large, and grain deep. It grows strong, rank, quick, 
and makes the finest appearing shelled corn, being purely 
Dent, of two shades of white and yellow. Itis claimed 159 
bushels of ears have been grown on oneacre. Pkt., 10e.; 1b.,

Wherever introduced has given universal satisfaction, 
both on account of its large yields, fine quality of grain 
and superior fodder. The ears are large and well formed, 
grain very large, deep, and of a bright yellow color; the 
stallx is large, averaging from ten to fourteen feet, producing 
a larger quantity of fodder than any other yellow corn. Our 
stock has been improved each year by the most careful and 
skilful selection of the largest and earliest ears. By mail,

HICKORY « KING + C&KN. 
This is unquestionably the largest grained and small- 
est cobbed pure white Dent corn in cultivation. The 
grain is so large and cob so small, that by breaking an ear in 
half, one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. 
The ears grow seven to nine inches in length, are generally 
borne three toa stalk. Itripens medium early, yet we 
do not recommend it as an entirely safe crop north of the 
latitude of Pennsylvania. Itis particularly adapted to and 
will yield more on thin soil than any other White Field Corn.

KED (2B ENSILAGE CORN. 
In introducing this new and superior ensilage corn we 
ean fully recommend it, from experience, as being the heav- 
iest cropping variety in cultivation, producing fifty to sev- 
enty-five tons peracre. It has been thoroughly tested in all 
dairy sections of the country with the best results. Itis a 
pure white Dent corn, of large size and handsome appear- 
ance, growing onared cob. The fodder is sweet, tender, 
juicy, and said to contain more nourishmentthan any other 
variety. It grows thirteen to fourteen feet in height, taking 
strong hold in the ground, standing up well and resisting 
storms of all kinds to a remarkable degree. Peck, 50c.; bush., 
$1.50; 10 bush. and over, $1.35 per bush. 
BLUNT’S WHITE PROLIFIC, or MAMMOTH EN- 
SILAGE CORN. Produces three to eight good ears to a 
stalk. It is also much used for ensilage, and has been known 
to produce seventy tons of fodder to the acre. Peck, 50c.; 
bush., $1.50; 10 bush. and over, $1.35 per bush. 
LONGFELLOW’S AND EARLY YELLOW CAN- 
ADA. These well-known eight-rowed yellow flint varieties 
ripen very early, and are well adapted to the North and for 
late replanting. Qt., 20¢e.; peck, 75¢.; bush., $2.25. 
SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. Profit- 
ahle as green feed for milch cows from the fact that it is 
“sweeter and more nutritious and eaten more readily than 
_fodder from Field Corn. Bush., $1.50; 5 bush. and over, $1.40 
_per bush.

A New Forage and Grain Plant. 
_ The JERUSALEM CORN belongs to the non-sacchar- 
ine sorghums, and was brought afew years since from the 
arid plains of Palestine by a missionary, whogaye twograins 
of it to a farmer in Finney County, Kansas. These two 
grains made five heads the first year, next season he gotfive 
bushels, and next season he planted eight acres and gathered 
two hundred bushels. Itis pronounced the best and surest 
grain crop for dry countries and seasons, even better than 
Kaffir Corn and MilloMaize. Itgrows about three feet high, 
makes one large head on main stalk, and several smaller 
heads on side shoots, often as many as eight heads on one 
stalk. The grains are pure white and nearly flat. Three - 
pounds will plant anacre. The government experimental 
farm at Garden City raised a crop of it this season, and the 
following report is made by Henry Clay Brooks, Superin- 
tendent of the United States Experimental Grass and For- 
age Station: 
“T raised a fair crop of Jerusalem Corn onthe unirrigated 
part of the United States Experimental farm the past season, 
which was the dryest season in the past fifteen years at this 
point, the record showing ten inches Jess rain fall this year 
than the average of the past fifteen years. 
“T had ninety acresin crop with different varieties of forage 
plants, and the Jerusalem Corn was the only kind that did 
any good. I consider it good for both man and beast. Ihave 
experimented with it in fattening a hog, which is in as fine 
condition asleversawone. I have also used itin my family 
in the form of hominy, and it certainly makes the best hom- 
iny lever ate.” 
The cultivation is the same as for Kaffir Corn and other 
forage plants. We hope all our customers who are inter- 
ested in this class of plants will give the new Jerusalem 
Corn atrial. Pkt., 10e.; lb., 40c.; 3 Ibs., $1.00, post-paid. Lb., 
30e.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $5.00, by freight or express. 
KAFFIK » CORN 
Is now successfully cultivated for both forage and grain 
in all sections of the United States. It is the best general 
purpose plant of all the varieties of sorghum yet offered, 
unless it be the New Jerusalem Corn, and will make 
a paying crop on land that will not yield five | ushels of 
corn or wheat, It is early as Amber Cane. It will makea 
fine crop of forage if cut in early bloom, and the shoots 
that then follow will mature a full crop of seed and for- 
age. Both grain and fodder are excellent, the whole stalk 
tender to the full maturity of seed. Thereisno failure about 
it, as it possesses the quality that all the tribe possesses, of 
waiting for rain without any loss of capacity to yield. 
‘Lhe grain makes a flour that is like wheat. It ein be culti- 
vated the same as our common Indian Corn, requiring four 
to five pounds of seed per acre. By mail, postage paid, pkt., 
10e.; lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00; by freight or express, qt., 20c; 
peck, $1.00; bush., (60 lbs.), $3.50.
