ENSII.AGE CORN. 



The custom of preserving Corn for winter feeding has become 

 so general that nearly every dairy farm now has a silo. It is 

 important, however, that suitable varieties be used, and we offer 

 the following, all of which are well suited for the purpose. 



Sow IJi to IJ bushels per acre. Special prices to buyers of 

 large quantities. 



Red-Cob Ensilage. One of the very best varieties for 

 ensilage and grows well in all sections. It is a pure white 

 Corn on a red cob. It is sweet, tender, juicy, has short 

 joints and produces an abundance of foliage. Every dairy 

 farmer should grow this sort; it will produce very large crops. 

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, peck, 70 cts. ; 

 bushel, $2.00. 

 Blount's Prolific White, This variety bears 4 to 6 ears per 

 stalk; grain plump and white. It is very productive. By 

 express or freight, at purchaser's expense, peck, 70 cts. ; 

 bushel, S2.00. 

 Southern Fodder, Sheeptooth. Grows 12 to 16 feet high; 

 has broad foliage and tender stalks. Will keep up the flow 

 of milk during hot weather, when the grass is burnt up. 

 Grains narrow and white. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.25. 

 Sweet Fodder Corn, For soiling or ensilage. Sow broad- 

 cast 2 bushels, or in drills 3 feet apart, 1 bushel per acre.

BARLEY. 



Sow IJ to 2 bushels if drilled; 2 to 2^ bushels broadcast. 

 Manshurey, Productive and best variety. Ripens early, 

 with strong, stiff straw. Write for price per bushel. 



BROO^ CORN. 



Improved Evergreen, This variety is extensively grown 

 on account of the color and quality of its brush, which is 

 long, fine, and straight, and always green; grows 7 feet high. 

 Sow 10 pounds to the acre in good, deep dry soil. Lb., 30 

 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense,

BUCKIYHEAT. 



Sow about the middle of June, broadcast, from 2 to 3 pecks

 per acre of other sorts. Grains are nearly twice as large as 

 those of Silver Hull. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, peck, 50 cts.; bushel (48 lbs.), $1.75. 



OATS. 



Sold at standard weight of 32 lbs. to the bushel. Special 



prices to buyers of large quantities. Sow 2J bushels to the acre. 



Storm King, (.See cut.) The seed of this variety was orig- 

 inally imported, but has been grown for several years in this 

 country, and is thoroughly acclimated. It makes a strong 

 growth of straw, with large, well-filled heads, which have a 

 tendency to be one-sided. Grains are white, large and heavy, 

 presenting a fine appearance. "Storm King" made a yield 

 of from 60 to 70 bushels per acre this year, and we recom- 

 mend it to every farmer who desires a thoroughly reliable and 

 profitable variety. By express or freight, at purchaser's ex- 

 pense, peck, 65 cts.; bushel (32 lbs.), $1.85; 5 bushels or 

 over, $1.75 per bushel.

 able. The straw is long, very strong and holds up well. The 

 heads are large and well filled. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, peck, 50 cts.; bushel (32 lbs.), $1.60; 5 

 bushels or over, $1.50 per bushel.
