IMPROVED LE/iniNQ CORN. 



Previous to our introduction of The 100-Day Bristol 

 Corn, the liuproved Leaniiug lias been considered tlie earli- 

 est Yellow Dent in cultivation. Tlie ears are large and 

 handsome, with deep grain, of deep orange color and 

 sDiall red cob. Stalks grow to medium sise (not lary;e) with 

 few suckers, tapering- gradually tVoni root to top, producing 

 two good ears to each stalk, /iiti'ts and shells easily. One hun- 

 dred and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the 

 acre on good corn ground. It is also adapted to a greater 

 variehj of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well 

 on light or heary land, where other varieties would not 

 tlii-ive. Prices by mail, post-paid, pkt., lOc; lb., 30e.; 3 lbs., 

 7.^c. Bv freight or express, bags included, qt., 15c.; peck,

QliiINT PE^qTT pIELb QSRN. 



In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and 

 long sought for variety, viz : A very large ear and grain, yet 

 a very early Yellow Dent Corn. Giant Beauty is a cross 

 between Cloud's Early Dent and Golden Beauty, possessing- 

 the earliness and Deep Grain of the former, with the 

 handsome deep yellow color and breadth of grain of the 

 latter. It is absolutely the largest grained of all yellow 

 corn. Its small red cob and great depth of grain are well 

 shown in the accompanying illustration made from an 

 average ear. Its rich, deep golden color and fine quality of 

 grain make it very superior for grinding into meal, and in- 

 dicate its strong nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous 

 gi-ower, taking strong hold in the groinid 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 presents the most perfect type of Yellow 

 Field Corn ever introduced, in every respect, and should be 

 planted bv all farmers who want to be abreast of the times.

F/IRMERS' F/IVORITE bENT. 



This is an improved variety of the Golden Dent, which 

 it resembles in some respects. The ears are of good size, 

 with very small cob and very large, deep grains, of a beauti- 

 ful, bright golden yellow color. The corn meal made from 

 this corn is very superior in quality and appearance. It pro- 

 duces well even on light land, frequently yielding from 

 ninety to one hundred bushels shelled corn to the acre.

CLOUD'S E/IRLT YELLOW DENT. 



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

 a prominent Chester County farmer. It has taken first pre- 

 miums wherever it has been exhibited. It has a fine, rich 

 appearance, weighs well, starts early and with a strong stalk 

 as soon as it comes out of the ground; grows vigorously, 

 though the stalks only range from seven to nine feet in 

 height. It withstands severe droughts to a remarkable 

 deg'-ee. Ears, set low, are of large size, well filled, very 

 <leep grained; sixty to seventy ears will yield a bushel of 

 shelled corn. Matures early, and very productive. Lb., 30c.; 

 3 lbs., 75c., post-paid. Qt., 20c.; peck, 7nc.; bush., $2 00; bag 

 of 2 bush., 83.75; 10 bush, and over, $1.75 per bush., bags 

 included. 



EARLY n/ISTODON 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 

 AgricuUuri.ft corn contest of 1889 it outj-ielded all others, 

 making the wonderful record of two hundred and thirteen 

 bushels shelled corn to the acre. Pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs.,

QOLDEN - PE/IVITY 

 CORN. 



The Golden Beauty is a large and broad grained yellov,- 

 corn. The ears of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen 

 straight rows of bright golden yellow grains, filled out com- 

 pletely to the extreme end of the cob. i'he cob is very small. 

 The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it vastly 

 superior for grinding into meal. The stalks take strong 

 hold in the ground, grow vigorously to a height of eight to 

 nine feet. Golden Beauty matures in one hundred and ten 

 days from planting. Post-paid, large pkt, lOc; lb., 30e.; 3 

 lbs., 75c. By freight or express, qt., loc; peck, 65e.; bush., 

 $1.75; bag of 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush, and over, $1.50 per bush. 



FE/icH BLOSSOM n/innoTH, 



Tliis distinct variety is a cross between the celebrated 

 Chester County Maiiimoth and Ohio Ked, brought to- 

 its present standard by careful selection made by Mr. Wm. 

 Peek, who with a few of his neighbors, residing in the great 

 corn growing district of Chester County, Pa., will grow no 

 other sort, owing to its many .superior qualitiex. It is 

 without doubt one of the most productive in cultivation. 

 It grows vigorously to a height of ten to twelve feet, ripens 

 in good season, but not early, hence we do not recommend 

 it for latitudes north of Central Pennsylvania. The cob is 

 very small for so larne an ear; grain very deep and broad, 

 of a beautiful golden color, handsomely tinted, and striped 

 on the outside with light pink, hence the name given it by 

 the originator, '" Peach Blos.som." Fifty-five to sixty ears 

 will shell a bushel. Pkt., lOc; ear, 25c.; lb., 35e.; 3 lbs.,

 $2.25; sack of 2 bush., $4.00. 



CHESTER COUNTY n/JMMOTH. 



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 tlie largest and earliest ears. By mail, 

 post-paid, pkt., lOc; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. By express or 

 freight, bags included, qt.,15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., $1.75; bag 

 of 2 bush., $3.25 ; 10 bush, and over, $1..50 per bush. 



HICKORY* KINQ-CORN. 



This is unquestionably the largest grained and small- 

 est cobbed pure white" Dent Corn in cultivation. The 



grain is so large and cob so small, that by breaking an ear in. 

 half, one grain will cover the entire end of the cob. 



The ears grow seven to nine inches in length, are gener.ally- 

 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 on thin soil than any other White Field Corn. 

 Bv niail, pkt., lOc; lb., 30c.; 31hs.,75c. By express or freight, 

 qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.00; bag of 2 bush., $3.75. 



RED COB ENSIL/I^E CORN. 



This new and superior ensilage corn we can recommend,, 

 from experience, as being the heaviest cropping variety in 

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

 has been thoroughly tested in alldairy sections of the country. 

 It is a pure white Dent Corn of large size and handsome 

 appearance, growing on a red cob. The fodder is sweet, 

 tender, juicy, and said to contain more nourishnientthan any 

 other variety. It grows thirteen to fourteen feet in heiaht, 

 taking strong hold in the ground standing up well and re- 

 sisting storms of all kinds to a remarkable degree. Peck, 

 oOc; bush., $1.40; 10 bush, and over, $1.20 per bush. 



BLUNT'S WHITK PKOMFIC, or IVl AMMOTH EN- 

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



I^ONGFELtOW'S AND EAKLY YEI.I.OW 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, 65e ; bush., $2.f 0. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. Profitable 

 as green feed for milch cows, being sweeter and more nutri- 

 tious and eaten more readily than fodder from Field Corn. 

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