Johnson & Stokej* New Qi/int 

 Be/ivity Field Corn. 



In the new Giant Beauty, now oft'ered for sale for the 

 first time, we liave a very valuable and long souglit for va^ 

 riety, viz : A very large ear and grain, yet a very early Yel- 

 low Dent Corn. Giant Beauty is a cross between Clouds' 

 Early Dent and Golden Beauty, possessing the earllness 

 and deep grain of the former with the handsome deep 

 yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It is abso- 

 lutely the largest grained of all yellow corn. Its small 

 red cob and great depth of grain are well shown in the ac- 

 companying illu.stration made from an average ear. Its 

 rich, deep golden color and fine quality of grain make it 

 very superior for grinding 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 tilled to the extreme ends of 

 the cob, even on light and poor land. Giant Beauty presents 

 the most perfect tj'pe of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced 

 in everv respect and should be planted by all farmers who 

 want to be abreast of the times. Prices for 1890: Pkt., 

 J5c.; ear, 23c. ; lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., Sl.OO, post-paid by 

 mall. By express or fielglit, peck, Sl.OO ; bu^li., 1S3.00;

RED C.O0 EN5ILflQE CORN. 



In introducing this new and superior ensilage corn we 

 can fully recommend it, from experience, as being the heav- 

 iest cropping variety in cultivation, producing fifty to 

 seventy-five tons per acre. It has been thoroughly tested in 

 all dairy sections of the country with the best results. It is a 

 pure white Dent corn, of large size and handsome appear- 

 ance, growing on a red cob. The fodder is sweet, tender, 

 juicy, and said to contain more nourishment than 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, 60c.; bush., 

 S1.60 ; 10 bush, an d over, $1 .40 per bush. 



BliUNT'S WHITE PBOLITIC, or MAMMOTH EN- 

 SrLAGB 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., $\.!>0 ; 10 bush, and over, $1.3.5 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., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.25. 



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., $1.50 ; 5 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush.
