^HICKORY KING CORN, 4- 



© , 



"We introduced this very valuable and reliable new white 

 field corn to the public for the first time two years since. It 

 has given the greatest satisfaction in all sections of the coun- 

 try and we are daily receiving many testimonials praising its 

 many excellent qualities. It is unquestionabl.v the largest 

 grained and smallest cobbed pure white Dent corn ii» 

 the world. The grain is so large and cob so small, that 

 by breaking an ear in half, one grain %vill cover the entire 

 end of the cob, as shown in the above cut. The ears grow 

 seven to nine inches in length, are generally borne three to 

 a stalk, thus making it enormously productive. It ripens 

 medium early, yet we do not recommend it as an entirely 

 safe crop north olthe latitude of Pennsylvania. It is partic- 

 ularly adapted to and will yield more on thin soil than any 

 other known variety of Field Corn, and if planted on good 

 soil, ^'111 bear much closer planting than other varieties. It is 

 undoubtedly the most promising AVhite Field Corn ever 

 Introduced. "We sell this corn on the ear to those wish- 

 ing it that way, so that you may see it is just exactly as we 

 represent it. Prices, by mail, postage paid, sample ear, 

 20c.: large pkt., shelled, lOc; lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., SI. 00. 

 By freight or express, ear, lOc; qt., 25c.; peck, 75c.; 

 bush., S2.40 ; bag of 2 bush., $4.50. 



CLOUD'S EARtY TEIJ:.OW DENT CORN. This 



corn, origina- 

 ted by Jas. 

 Cloud, a 

 prominent 

 Chester Coun- 

 ty farmer, has 

 fairly leaped 

 into popular- 

 ity the past 

 two years. It 

 has taken first 

 jiremiums 

 wherever it 

 has been ex- 

 hibited. Some 

 of its good 

 points, which 

 will recom- 

 mend it to growers, are its 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 ten feet in height. It withstands severe 

 droughts to a remarkable degree. Ears, set low, are of large 

 size, well filled, very deep grained ; sixty to seventy ears 

 will yield a bushel of shelled corn. Matures early, and with 

 ordinary cultivation will yield from ten to twenty bushels 

 more than any ordinary variety. I.b.. 3.5c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, 

 post-paid; qt., 20c.; peck. T-'ic; bush., S2.00; bag of 2 bush., 

 83.75; 5 bush, and over, §1.75 per bush., bags included. 



PRElMltnW CHESTER COUNTY SIAaiMOTH CORN. 



—Wherever introduced has given universal satisfaction, both 

 on account of its large yields, fine quaUty of grain, and 

 superior fodder. The ears are large and well formed, grain 

 very large, deep, and of a bright yellow color; the stalk is 

 large, averaging from ten to fourteen feet, producing a larger 

 quantity of fodder than any otlier yellow corn. Our stock 

 has been improved each year by the mostcareful and skillful 

 selection of the largest, best formed, and earliest ears. It 

 ■will pay you to plant it, as the increased yield ^vill pay 

 the cost of seed many times over. By mail, post-paid, 

 pkt., lOc; lb., 3.5c.; 3 lbs., $1.00. By freight or express, bags 

 included, qt., 20c.; peck, 60c.; bush.. Sl.75; bag of 2 bush., 

 ?3,85; 10 bush, and over, 81.50 per bush. 



NEW BRAZILIAN f LOUR CORN 



BRAZILIAN FLOUR CORN. A rare variety of Indian 

 Corn, with a white, floury grain, yielding when ground a 

 flour equal in every way to the best wheat flour, and making 

 the best bread, cakes, etc. It grows rapidly, ripens medium 

 early, maturing as far North as the latitude of Philadelphia; 

 ears seven to nine inches long, a small cob and deep grain. 

 This corn stools from the ground like wheat, six to ten stalks 

 from a grain, bearing as many ears to a stalk, making it 

 wonderfully productive, yielding generally over one hundred 

 bushels to the acre. The product of an acre ground into flour 

 would be at least fl^e times that of wheat. It should be cul- 

 tivated same as other field corn. For boiling or roasting it 

 is equal to the best varieties of sugar corn, being very rich, 

 sweet and juicy in a green state. It has given universal sat- 

 isfaction wherever grown. By mail, post-paid, pkt., lOc; 

 lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00. By freight or express, qt., 25c.; peck, 

 90c.; bush., $3.00. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY FIELD CORN. This new variety, 

 which we introduced five j'ears since, is the largest grained of 

 all yellow corn. The ears are of perfect shape, with from ten to 

 fourteen straight rows of bright golden yellow grains, remark- 

 able in size and filled outcompletely 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 

 richnessofcolorandfinequality of grain makes it vastly supe- 

 rior for grinding into meal. The stalks take strong hold in 

 the ground, grow vigorously to a height of eight to nine feet. 

 Golden Beauty matvires early, ripening in one hundred to one 

 hundred and ten days from planting. We have many favor- 

 able reports from customers who planted this corn, yielding 

 in many cases at the rate of one hundred and twenty-five 

 bushels to the acre. Prices bv mail, post-paid, large pkt., 

 10c.; lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00. Bv freight or express, qt., 20c.; 

 peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75; bag oif 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush, and 

 over, 81.60 per biish., bags included. 



BLITNT'S TV KITE PROLIFIC, or SIAMMOTH EN- 

 SILAGE CORN. Produces, on medium good land, one 

 hundred bushels to the acre, growing from 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., $1.60; 10 bush, and over, 81.40 per bush. 



LONGFELLOIV'S AND EARLY YELLOTV 

 CANADA. These well-known eight rowed yellow flint 

 varieties ripen very early, and are well adapted to the North, 

 and for late replanting. Qt., 20c.; peck, 7.5c.; bush., $2.25; 

 bag of 2 bush., $4.00. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. Profitable 

 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., $2.00; 5 bush, and over, Sl.75 per bush.
