^SEED CORNI>* 



We make it an invariable rule to test our seeds 

 carefully before sending out, and our customers may 

 depend on getting Seed Corn that will grow perfectly 

 under favorable circumstances. A sample ear is put in 

 each sack with all orders of one bushel and over. 

 Sample ears will be sent by mail to any address on re- 

 ceipt of twenty cents to cover postage. 



IMPROVED LEAMING CORN. 



The True Improved Learning Corn is a pure, fixed 

 and distinct variety, first introduced by us eight years 

 ago. Our strain has been selected and improved each 

 year since its introduction, and is the Earliest YeUow^ 

 Dent Corn in Cultivation, ripening in ninety to a 

 hundred days from time of planting, surpassing the 

 Yellow Canada and Flint varieties in earliness, pro- 

 ductiveness and quality. 



ITS FIVE GREAT ADVANTAGES 



1. It is extra early and not a hard, flinty com, 

 but sweet and nutritious, making excellent feed and 

 the finest meal, its quality not being surpassed by 

 any other known variety. These facts alone will 

 be highly appreciated by our customers in ex- 

 treme Northern latitudes, where other varieties 

 will not riijen. 



2. The ears are large and handsome, with very 

 deep, large grain, of deep orange color and small 

 red cob. 



3. The stalks grow to medium size (not large) 

 with few suckers, tapering gradually fioin root to top, 

 producingtwogoodears to each stalk, and husks and 

 shells easily. 



4. Its great productiveness. One hundred and 

 thirty-six bushels shelled corn (weighing sixty 

 pounds to bushel) have been grown to the acre on 

 good corn ground, ^vith good but not extra cultivation. 



5. It is adapted to a greater variety of soils than 

 other varieties, producing unusually well on light or 

 heavy land, where other vai ieties would notthrive.

FARMER'S FAVORITE GOLDEN 

 DENT CORN. 



This is an improved variety of the Golden Dent 

 Gourd Seed, which it resembles i n some respects, ripen- 

 ing earlier, frequently maturing in one hundred days 

 from time of planting. The ears are of good .size, with 

 very small cob and very large, deep grains, of a beauti- 

 ful, bright golden yellow color. The corn meal made 

 from this corn is very superior in quality and appear-
