The 100-Da\J Bristol Corn 



THE LARGEST EARED, EARLIEST YELLOW DENT CORN 



The lOO-Day Bristol was first pointed out to us by the well-known seed 

 farmers. Slessrs. Myers and Bowman, of Bucks Co., Pa , who, wiih a \'e^- neigh- 

 bors, had been growing it to the exclusion of all otlier varieties, owing to its 

 great earliness and wonderful productiveness, oue Uundred busliels to the 

 acre being no uneoninion yield. 



When we first saw tliis corn growing in the field, with its enormous 

 stalks and fodder, twice the lieightof an ordinary-sized man, and its magni- 

 ficent ears, averaging about a foot in length, as shownin pliotograph alongside, 

 we were inclined to doubt its earliness. Butafter growing it our-elves and on 

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

 ii cut and shocked ready for husUing 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 fiold corn in all 

 respects. Prices of E.'ctra Selected Seed: Pkt., lOc; ear, 25c ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs.,

Spring R\Je 



Di-tinct from the winter rye, grain of 

 finer quality and more productive; can be 

 successfully grown in any latitude, and is 

 now being largely sown in the Middle 

 States in place of oats, being a much more 

 profitable crop, on account of the produc- 

 tion of nearly four times the straw, and 

 also as a "catch" crop where winter 

 grain has failed. The straw is equally as 

 valuable as that of the fall or winter rye, 

 standing stifr7 to .S feet high, produces :r 

 to 40 bushels of grain per acre; as it do. - 

 not stool like winter rye, not less than - 

 bushels to the acre should be sown. Pkt
