THE EARLIEST YELLOW DENTJ 



inrROVED LEflniNQ CORN. 



The True Improved Learning Corn is a pure, fixed and 

 distinct variety, first introduced by us nine years ago. Our 

 strain has been selected and improved each year since its 

 introduction, and is the Earliest Yellow Dent Com in 

 Cultivation, ripening in ninety to a hundred days from 

 time of planting, surpassing the Yellow Canada and Flint 

 varieties in earliness, productiveness and quality. 



It is not a hard, flinty com, but sweet and nutritious, 

 making excellent feed and the finest meal. 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, producing two good ears to each stalk, husks 

 and shells easily. One hundred and tliirtj'-six bushels 

 shelled corn (weighing sixty pounds to bushel) have been 

 grown to the acre on good corn ground, with good but not 

 extra cultivation. It is also adapted to a greater varietj- of 

 soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on light 

 or heavy land, where other varieties would not thrive. 

 Prices by mail, post-paid, pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. By 

 freight or express, bags included, qt., 1.5c.; peck, 60c.; bush.,

F/IRMERS F/IVORITE QOLbEN bENT. 



This is an improved variety of the Golden Dent Gourd 

 Seed, which it resembles in some respects, ripening 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 beautiful, bright golden 

 yellow color. The corn meal made from this corn is very 

 superior in quality and appearance. It produces well, even 

 on light land, frequently yielding from ninety to one hun- 

 dred bushels shelled com to the acre, with ordinary cultiva- 

 tion. Lb.. 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. post-paid ; qt., 1.5c.; peck, 60c.;

CLOqD'3 E/IRLY YELLOW DENT. 



This corn, originated some years ago by Jas. Cloud, a 

 prominent Chester County farmer. It has taken first prem- 

 iums wherever it has been exhibited. It has a fine, rich ap- 

 pearance, 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. Ears, 

 set low. areof large size, wellfilled, very deepgrained: sixty 

 to seventy ears will yield a bushel of shelled corn. Matures 

 early, and very productive. Lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 7.5c., post-paid; 

 qt.. 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., S2.00; bag of 2 bush., 83.75 : 5 bush,

QOLDEN * PEflUTT 

 ^ CORN - 



The (.Mildcn Hcanty is a large and broad grained yel- 

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

 fourteen 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 makes 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 to the acre. Prices by 

 mail, post-paid, large pKt., 10c; lb., SOc; 3 lbs., 75c. By 

 freight or express, qt., 15e.; peck, 6.5c.; bush., 31.75; bag of 2

HKKORY KINQ CORN. 



This is unquestionably the largest grained and small- 

 est cobhed pure wliite 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 to a stalk. It ripens metliuui early, yet 

 we do not recommend it as an entirely safe crop north of the 

 latitude of Pennsylvania. It is particularly adapted to and 

 will yield moreon thin soil than any other White Field Corn. 

 By mail, postage paid, ear, 20c.; pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 

 3 lbs., 75c. By freight or express, qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; 

 bush., S2.00; bag of 2 hush., $3.75. 



BRAZILIAN FLOtJR CORN. A variety with a white, 

 floury grain, yielding when ground a flour equal to the best 

 wheat flour. It stools from the ground like wheat, six to ten 

 stalks from a grain, bearing as many ears to a stalk. For 

 boiling or roasting it is equal to sugar corn, being very rich, 

 sweet and juicy in a green state. Post-paid, pkt., lOo.; lb., 

 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00. By freight or express, qt., 25c.; peck, 90c.;
