THE 100-OflY BRISTOL. 



THE LARGEST EARED, EARLIEST 



YELLOW DENT CORN IN 



CULTIVATION- 



Since we tirst introduced the Improved Learning 

 Corn, twelve years ago, it has grown in popularity each 

 season, and is now catalogued by nearly every seedsman 

 in America. It is probably more largely planted now, 

 both in the Northern and Southern States, than any 

 other field corn known. In the 100-Day Bristol, how- 

 ever, we believe we have a corn of such greater value 

 that it will supplant even the Learning on every farm 

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

 was first pointed out to us by the well-known seed far- 

 mers, Messrs. Myers & Bowman, of Bucks County, Pa., 

 who, with a few neighbors, had been growing it to the 

 exclusion of all other varieties, owing to its great earli- 

 ness and wonderful productiveness, one liundred 

 l)usliels to the acre being no uncommon yield. 



Three years ago, when we first saw this corn grow- 

 ing in the field, with its enormous stalks and fodder, 

 twice the lieight of an ordinary sized man, as shown in 

 our photograph, and its magnificent long ears, more 

 than half again as large as the Learning, we were 

 inclined to doubt its earliness. But after carefully test- 

 ing it for 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, 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 respects. Prices of Extra Selected

■WH.4lT others SAY OF 100-DAY BRISTOL. 



James R. Harmon, Baxter Springs, Kan., Sept. 17, 

 1893, writes : " Y'our ICO-Day Bristol Corn comes fully up 

 to the recommendations you give it. From one pound 

 of seed I raised about seven bushels of fine corn. It 

 grows a very strong stalk, ten to twelve feet high; the 

 ears average fully twelve inches in length, and their 

 growth is very rapid. I shall plant my main crop in 

 Bristol Corn next season." 



W. B. RossELL, Lockwood, Mo., Oct. 17, 189.3, writes: 

 " I am greatly pleased \\ ith the 100-Day Bristol Corn ; it 

 grows very vigorously and matures extra early, I 

 planted it last of April; it was out of the way of frost 

 early in August, and fit to crib September 1st." 



Wm. Ochekridek, Washington, Ills., Nov. 20, 1893, 

 writes: " I was much pleased with your 100-Day Bristol 

 Corn ; it is the earliest and largest in yield."
