carefully selected in the field, consideration being given ‘to the plant, as well 
as to the ears, trueness to types, uniform maturity, and other essential points.

DENT VARIETIES. 
All the varieties offered below (except Pop Corn), in lots of $0 bushels and upwards, deduct 10 cents per bushel. 
EARLY MASTODON. (The Earliest Large Dent Corn.) Produces large ears for an early 
variety. It grows strong at a medium height, with broad, heavy leaves, and makes a fine shelled 
corn in eupeat anes being purely Dent. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
GOLDEN: BEAUTY. This corn has given most excellent satisfaction. It is exceedingly 
productive; a large proportion of the stalks produce two fine ears. The ears are of perfect shape, 
with from ten to fourteen rows, and filled out completely to the extreme end of cob. The cobs 
are unusually small. The richness of color and fine quality of grain make it very superior for 
grinding into meal. 15 cts. quart, 60 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 
EXTRA EARLY HURON. As early as most of the flint corns, and may be grown even in 
the most Northern States and in Canada. The grain is somewhat narrow, but long and deep, 
with small cob. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE. (Pride oj the North.) This variety is valuable to grow North, 
as it matures early. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully matured by October 1st. The ears 
grow 8 to 10 inches in length, from 14 to 16 rows, slightly tapering. The kernels are closely set 
together on the cob, of a light orange color at the outer end, darker in color lower, and makes 
excellent meal. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
EARLY BUTLER. A cross from Pride of the North, and has the smallest cob of any Dent 
Corn in cultivation. It is also the very earliest Dent Corn and is very profitable to grow. It is 
just the corn for Northern farmers—grows quick and strong, has small cobs, very long grains, 
and good-sized ears. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
HUNDRED-DAY BRISTOL. A very early variety of wonderful productiveness. The ears 
being remarkably large for such an early ripener; the grain is a light yellow, with small cob. 15 
cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
LEAMING. Ears are of good size, set low down, and nearly always grow two to each stalk. 
Very small, red cob, with a deep, long grain, of a rich golden color. It matures reasonably early, 
and if planted by the first of June, will generally ripen, and be fit to husk and crib early in 
September. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
WHITE CAP YELLOW. An early variety, said to produce better results on poor, thin or 
sandy soil than any other variety, and is less affected by drought. The grain is handsome yellow 
in color, with white tips. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
HICKORY KING. Has the largest grains with the smallest cob of any white corn. The stalks, 
of strong, vigorous growth, generally bear two good ears each, and occasionally three. It is not, 
however, considered a safe crop north of Philadelphia. Will make more shelled corn to a given 
bulk of ears than any other variety. 15 cts. quart, 65 cts. peck, $2.00 bushel. 
FLINT VARIETIES. 
In fots of 10 bushels and upwards, deduct 10 cents per bushel. 
LONGFELLOW. A large 8-rowed yellow flint variety well adapted for the Northern States. 
The ears are remarkably long (see cut), some of them measuring 15 inches, and oftentimes two or 
more good specimens grow on one stalk. Grain large and broad and yellow. The cob is quite 
small. It is the largest variety of yellow field corn safe to plant in the latitude of Massachusetts, 
where it is quite extensively grown. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
COMPTON’S EARLY. The earliest known yellow flint variety, ripening in from 76 to 85 
days. It is a handsome 10 and 12-rowed sort, very productive, and will ripen in the Northern 
States. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel. 
LARGE WHITE FLINT. Handsome ears, large and well filled, kernels white and of fine 
quality. 15 cts. quart, 50 cts. peck, $1.75 bushel.

RURAL THOROUGHBRED WHITE FLINT. In appearance this closely resembles the old 
white flint, but the plant branches and suckers more, and is therefore valuable for ensilage in the 
Northern States, as well as for the grain. 15 cts. quart, 65 cts. peck, $2.10 bushel.
