The Largest Eared, Earliest Yellow 

 Dent Corn in Cultivation. 



NEW FIELD QORN-TME 100-D/IT 

 BRISTOL. 



Since we first introduced the Improved Learning Corn, twelve 

 years ago, it lias grown in popularity each season, and is now 

 catalogued by nearly every seedsman in America. It is probably 

 inore largely planted now, both in the Northern and f^outhorn 

 States, than any other field corn known. In the 100-Day 

 Bristol, however, we believe we have a corn of such greater 

 value that it will supplant even the Leaming on every farm 

 where that variety is now grown. The 100-Day Bristol was 

 first pointed out to us by the well-known seed farmers, Messrs. 

 Myers & Bowman, of Bucks County, Pa., who, with a few 

 neighbors, had lieen growing it to tiie exclusion of all other va- 

 rieties, owing to its great earliness. and wonderful productive- 

 ness, one hundred bushels to the acre being no uncom- 

 mon yield. 



Three years ago, when we tirst saw this corn growing in the 

 field, with its enormous stalks and fodder, twice the 

 height of an ordinary sized man, and its magnificent ears, .av- 

 eraging about a foot in length, as shown in above photograph, we 

 were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after a careful test by 

 ourselves and a number of our customers, the past three 

 seasons, we have found it cut and shocked ready for husking in 

 ninety-five to one hundred days from the time the seed was 

 planted. The grain is a bright yellow, large and broad; the 

 cob is small, considering the size of the ear. It will produce as 

 much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County 

 Mammoth and other late varieties which require throe to four 

 weeks longer to ripen. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all 

 respects. Prices of Extra Selected Seed: pkt., 10c. ; ear, 25c. ; lb., 

 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, post-paid, by mail. By express or freight,

IMFROVEb LE/iniNQ CORN. 



Previous to our introduction of The 1 00-Day Bristol 

 Corn the Improved I.eamiug has been considered the earliest 

 Yellow Dent in cultivation. The ears are large and hand- 

 some, with deep grain, of deep orange color and small red 

 cob. Stalks grow to medium size (not large) with few suckers, 

 producing two good ears to each stalk, hiisks and shells easily. 

 One hundred and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been 

 grown tp the acre on good corn ground. It is also adapted to a 

 greater variety 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., lOc; lb., 30c.; 31bs., 75c. 

 By freight or express, bags included, qt., 15c.; peck, 50c.; bush., 

 $1.60; bag of 2 bush., $3.00; 10 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush. 



EAKLY naSTOhOH CORN. 



A new early Dent variety, originated in Ohio. The ear is very 

 large, and grain deep. It grows strong, rank, rapid, and makes 

 the finest appearing shelled corn, being purely Dent, of two 

 shades of white and yellow In the American Agriculturist 

 corn contest of 1SS9 it outyielded all others, making the wonder- 

 ful record of two hundred and thirteen bushels shelled corn to 

 the acre. Pkt., lOc; lb., ROc; 3 lbs., 75c., post-paid. Qt., 15c.; 

 peck, one; bush., $1.75; bag of 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush, and over, 

 $1.50 per bush. 



CLOyb'5 E/IRLY YELLOW DENT. 



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

 prominent Chester County farmer. Kars set low, are of large 

 size, well filled, very deep grained; si.xty to seventy ears will 

 yield a bushel of shelled corn. Matures early, and very pro- 

 ductive. I.b., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., post-paid. Qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; 

 bush ,$2.00; bag of 2 bush., $3.75; 10 bush, and over, $1.75 per 

 bush., bags included. 



F/IRMERS' F/IVORITE DENT. 



This is an improved variety of the Golden Dent, which it re- 

 sembles in some respects. 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 su- 

 perior in quality and appearance. It produces well even oa 

 light land, frequently yielding from ninety to one hundred 

 bushels shelled corn to the acre. Lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., post-paid. 

 Qt., 15c.;peck, 50c.; bush., $1.50; bagof 2 bush., $2.75; 10 bush, 

 and over, $1.35 per bush. 



GOLDEN BE/IUTT CORN. 



The Golden Beauty is a large and broad grained yellow corn. 

 The ears 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. The richness of 

 color and fine quality of grain make it vastly superior for grind- 

 inglntomeal. The stalks take stronghold in the ground, grow 

 vigorously to a height of eight to nine feet. Golden Beauty ma- 

 tures in one hundred and ten days from planting. Post-paid, 

 large pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. By freight or express, qt., 

 15c.; peck, 65c.; bush., $1.50; bagof 2 bush., $2.75; 10 bush, and 

 over, $1.35. 



CHESTER COVINTT fl^nnOTH. 



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 stalk is 

 large, averaging from ten to fourteen feet. Our stock has been 

 improved each year by the most careful and skilful selection of 

 the largest and earliest ears. By mail, post-paid, pkt., 10c ; lb., 

 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. By express or freight, bags included, qt., 15c.; 

 peck, 50c.; bush., $1.60; bagof 2 bush., $3.00; 10 bush, and over, , 

 $1.40 per bush. 



HICKORY KINQ CORN. 



This is unquestionably the largest grained anci 

 smallest cobbed pure white Dent Corn in cultiva- 

 tion. The grain is so large and cob so small, that by breaking 

 an ear in half, one grain Avill cover the entire end of 

 the cob. The ears grow seven to nine inchei* in length, are 

 generally borne three to a stalk. It ripens medium 

 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 more oil thin soil than anv other 

 White Field Corn. By mail, pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 7.5c. By 

 express or freight, qt., 20c.; peck, 60c.; bush., $2.00; bag of 2: 

 bush., $3.7.5. 



RED C03 EN5IL/)QE CORN. 



This new and superior ensilage corn we can recommend, from- 

 experience, as being the heaviest cropping variety in culti- 

 vation, producing fifty to seventy-five tons per acre. It has. 

 been thoroughly tested in all dairy sections of the country. It 

 is a pure white Dent Corn of large size and handsome appear- 

 ance, growiug 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, 50c.; Dush.,$1.40; 10 bush, 

 and over, $1.20 per bush. 



PLqNT'5 PROLIFIC EN5IL/IQE. 



Also called Mammoth Ensilage. 



Produces three to eight good ears to a stalk. It is one of 

 the most popular for ensilage, and has Deen known to pro- 

 duce seventy tons of fodder to the acre. Peck, 50c.; bush., 

 $1.50; 10 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush.
