^WHITE FIEI^D CORN 



Johnson County White Dent. A prolific variety which 

 produces large ears, well filled at both ends and of good value 

 for feeding stock. The grains are long and set close on the 

 cob, which measures about ten inches in length and contains 

 from 18 to 24 rows of grain, extending to the tip. By express 

 or freight, at purchaser's expense, peck (14 lbs.), $1.10; 

 bushel (56 lbs.), $3.75. 



ENSII.AGE CORN 



Sow 1 to 1^ bushels to the acre, in rows SJ feet apart. 



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

 lage 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, usually making a growth 

 of stalk measuring 12 to 14 feet high. Every dairy farmer 

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

 express or freight, at purchaser's expense, peck (14 lbs.), 

 $1.10; bushel (56 lbs.), $3.75. 



Sweet Fodder Corn. For soiling or ensilage. Some dairy- 

 men prefer the sweet fodder corn to the ordinary ensilage 

 varieties, and although it does not make as large a stalk, nor 

 as much foliage, it is highly relished by stock. It does best 

 when sown in drills at the rate of 1| to 2 bushels to the acre.
