The ioo=Day Bristol Corn 



THE LARGEST EARED, EARLIEST YELLOW DENT CORN 



The 100-Day Bristol was first pointed out to us by tlie well-known seed 

 farmers, Messrs. Myers and Bowman, of Bucks Co., Pa., who, with a few neigh- 

 bors, had been growing it to the exclusion of all other varieties, owing to Us 

 great earliness and wonderful productiveness, one liundretl bushels to the 

 acre being no uncommon yield. 



When we first saw this corn growing in the tield, with its enormous 

 stalks and fodder, twice the height of an ordinar.v sized man, and its magni- 

 ficent ears, averaging about a foot in lengtli, as shown in pliotograph alongside, 

 we were inclined to doubt its earliness. Hut after growing it ourselves and on 

 the farms of hundreds of our customers, the past three seasons, we have found 

 it cut and shocked ready for Imsking in ninety-five to one hundred days from 

 the time the seed was planted. The grain is a light yellow; the cob is small con- 

 sidering 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 

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

 a-espects. Prices of Extra Selected Seed: Pkt., lOc; ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs.,

NEW FIELD CORN— DELAWARE COUNTY DENT 



For some years Delaware and Chester, adjoining counties in Pennsylvania, 

 have given the largest yields of corn per acre of any district in the United 

 States. This variety, although quite new, is already very popular there, and is 

 regarded as the most productive of any corn grown in the.se counties; ears 

 large, grain briglit yellow and of great depth, maturing in 110 to 120 days from 

 planting. It is one of the best. Pkt., lOc; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid ; qt., 15c.;

THE TRUE IMPROVED LEAMINQ CORN 



Previous to our introduction of The 100-Day Bristol Corn, the True im- 

 proved Learning lias been considered the earliest Yellow Dent in cultivation. 

 Tlie ears are large and handsome, with deep grain, of deep orange color 

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

 producing two good ears to each stalk ; husks and shells easily. One hundred 

 and thirty-si.x bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn 

 ground. It is also adapted to a greater variety of soils than other varieties, pro- 

 <lucing unusually well on light or heavy land, where other varieties would not 

 thrive. Prices, by mail, postpaid : pkt., lOc; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c.; by freight or 

 express, bags included, qt., 1.5c.; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.40; 10 bush, and over,

JOHNSON &. STOKES' GIANT BEAUTY FIELD CORN 



In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and long-.sought-for 

 variety, viz.: Avery large ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn. 

 ■Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud's Early Dent and Golden Beauty, pos- 

 sessing the earliness and Deep Grain of the former, with the handsome 

 ■deep yellow color and breadth of grain of the lalter. It is absolutely the lar- 

 gest grained of all yellow corn. 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 filled 

 to the extreme ends of the cob, even on light and poor land. Giant Beauty pre- 

 sents the most perfect tyi>e of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced. Pkt., lOc; 

 ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid, by mail ; by express or freight, peck, 75c.;
