LEAMING. — Is in character somewhat of a Dent variety, nearly 

 always two good ears to the stalk. In good -soil, well manured, 

 has produced by actual measurement 13* bushels of 

 shelled corn, per acre. Stalks grow to a medium size., and 

 produce but few suckers, ears large and handsome, of a deep oran/e 

 color and small red cob. Some dealers offer an Improved Learning, 

 the Learning I offer needs no improvement, it is perfection Itself.

PKIDE OP THE NORTH.— One of the earliest Dents 

 in cultivation, and lias been grown further North than any other 

 Golden Dent I know of. and matured a crop. Planted on the fourth 

 day ot July, it has fully matured before frost, and it also has been 

 planted as a second crop after wheat harvest, and yielded a full, 

 weli-ripened crop. It is very prolific, 100 bushels per acre having 

 been grown; will grow wonderfully well on poor soil, and makes no 

 suckers. It is just the variety for all my customers to plant who 

 desire a first-class extra early. Pkt.. 10 cts. ; lb., 35 cts. ; 3 lbs., 90cts., 

 postpaid ; by express or freight, peck, 75 cts. ; bus., $2.25 ; 2 bus., $1.00. 



CHESTER CO. MAMMOTH CORN There have been 



hundreds of thousands of bushels of worthless stuff, Chester County 

 Mammoth only in name, distributed all over the country. If you 

 want the genuine, send direct to headquarters. The 

 Chester County Mammoth Corn, wherever introduced, has given 

 universal satisfaction, both on account of its large yield, fine 

 quality of grain and superb fodder. The strain of Chester 

 County Mammoth Corn I offer for sale has been brought to its present 

 perfection by untiring care and judicious skill of several 

 of the most scientific corn growers of Chester County, 

 being strictly pure, and saved only from the linest ears of the most 

 productive fields. Packet, 10 cents ; pound. 35 cents; ;; pounds, 90 

 cuts, postpaid. Peck, 75 cents; bushel, $2.00 ; 2 bushel sack, $3.50.

FARMERS' FAVORITE GOLDEN DEAiT CORN This variety, | roanced 



after eight years' skilful selection and careful cultivation by one of our mort scientific 

 and practical corn-growers, was first introduced by us to public notice, t.i ins.' confident 

 that it would prove worthy of a place in the trout" rank of the best and most i-opular 

 varieties ot field corn. The grains art- very deep, thi col - bl . i ' red, • rxtti mi ly -mall, 

 and well-filled, it i- easily shelled. The corn does no1 a i for feeding, but is 



easily digested, and nutritious. 70 pounds of ears of this variety will average 6 to 8 quarts 

 more than a measured bus. Farmers who desire an early and prolific • orn 

 cannot fail to be suited with the "Farmers' Favorite. - ' Pkt., 10 Cte.j

WELCOME OATS. 



Nothing like them ever seen before in Pro- 

 ductiveness, Weight or Fine Appearance. No 



oats has ever been so extensively advertised as Wel- 

 come, nor 1 ten distributee: more extensively in all 

 sections of the country. Weighing as high as 56 

 lbs. per level bushel, it surpasses all others, while 

 also remarkably productive, over 10 bushels having 

 been grown in 1883 from !i ozs. of seed. It is 

 unusually handsome, straw standing almost 6 ft., and I 

 baveseen heads over 24 inches in length. The grain 

 is very large and handsome, very plump and full, with 

 thin, white, close-fitting husks. The Welcome Oats 

 stool heavily, with strong, straight stiaw of pood height ; 

 stand up well, and crowned with long, beautiful, blanch- 

 ing, well-tilled heads. With good cultivation, they will 

 yield 80 to 125 legal bushels per acre. This may seem 

 almost beyond belief, but will be easily understood 

 when it is considered that, each measured bushel weighs 

 more than one and one-half bushels of any 

 ordinary oats. 



I offer direct headquarters' stock. Pkt., 10 

 cts. ; lb., 35 cts. ; 3 lbs., 90 cts., postpaid ; ] eck, 50 cts. ;

PRISGLE'S PROGRESS OATS.— This new and 

 distinct variety of oats was made by Mr. Pringk- several years agi >, 



by crossing the Excelsior 



with the Chinese Hulless. 



In it we have a com- 

 bination of good qualities 



which cannot fail to 



please — a short stiff straw, 



and a long full head 



or panicle. In the Pro- 

 gress we have a head 



averaging as lart;e as the 



largest of the taller varie- 

 ties, well-filled, and being 



so much' shorter, it does 



not lodge. In our trial 



plot of about 20 varieties 



of Oats, the Pro- 

 gress matured next to 



the Early Lackawanna. 



In the spring of 1886, from 



one and three-fourth 



bushels drilled in on 



rather poor soil, 162 



bushels, thresh er's 



measure, were harvested. 



We believe if the farmer 



prefersgrain. to straw, the 



Progress will suit every 



time. Horses seem to like 



these Oats much I etter 



than most sorts, probably 



because of the thin and 



tender shuck. The 



annexed illustration 



shows a cluster of the 



heads grown with ordi- 



narv cultivation. Pkt., 



10 Cts. : lb.. 10 Cts. : ?. lbs., 



$1.00, postpaid. By ex- 

 press or freight, i eck,

 the 20th oi May, as it requires at the very least as long a season as i unity 



Mammoth to mature. The stalks stool from the- ground like sorghum. 



and grow 7 to 8 feet high, each grain producing four to si\ sti 

 s to 10 inches high it begins to tiller up like wheat, one hill making an armful of 

 fodder, This one quality is sufficient to recommend it. for it makes it yield 

 more and better fodder than any corn in cultivation. It averages 10 ears to the 

 bill; ears Atom 5 to 7 inches in circumference, and from 8 to 12 Inches long: 

 grain very white. Stooling from the ground like sorghum, as stated 

 suckers should not be pulled off. cultivate same as other corn. Flour Corn is 

 worthy of a trial, at least, by every corn or wheat-grower who reads
