YELLOW FIELD CORN 



Sow 8 quarts to the acre early in May 



Pedrlck Perfected Golden Beauty. An improved strain of 

 Golden Beauty which was obtained by careful selection. In the 

 preparation of this Com for seed each ear is carefully selected 

 and the end grains discarded, and it is far superior in everj- way 

 to the original Golden Beauty. The ears contain from 10 to 

 14 rows of extremely large, broad grains, which are of a rich 

 golden-yellow color, and the cob is small. The ears are well 

 filled out, even to the extreme end of the cob. 



Learning- Gotird Seed. A good early variety which ripens in 

 about 110 daj's. Stalks make good growth and are very pro- 

 ductive; ears good size, cob red, grains mediiun in size and deep 

 yellow. 



Early Yellow Canada. A ninety-day Com, used in this 

 latitude for replanting. Ears are 12 to 14 inches long, of rich 

 yellow color. Very heavy cropper and averages two ears to 

 a stalk which grows large and leafj', and makes good fodder. 



Pusey Cloud Yellow Dent. At the Chester County, Pa., 

 Com Show, Mr. Pusey Cloud, the originator, was awarded the 

 prize for this variety; also prizes at both the National and 

 Pennsylvania Com Shows. It matures in 100 to 110 days, and 

 will yield 75 to 100 bushels of shelled Com to an acre. The 

 ears measure about 10 inches in length; cob is small, and the 

 grains are verj- deep, closely set on the cob. It is a safe variety 

 to plant anj'where in the same latitude as Philadelphia. 



Early Mastodon Dent. An early variety of yellow Dent Corn 

 which is suitable for many sections, as it matures in about 110 

 days. The stalks grow rapidly and to a good size, producing 

 excellent fodder and an abimdant crop of com. 



Early 100-day Bristol. One of the earliest large Dent vari- 

 eties. It is productive, and ears are a good size with light 

 yellow grains. 



WHITE FIELD 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.

(56 lbs.), $3.50. 



ENSILAGE CORN 



Sow 1 to I5 bushels to the acre, in rows 3+ feet apart. 



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 foUage, usually making a growth of stalk 

 measuring 12 to 14 feet high. Every dairy farmer should grow 

 this sort; it will produce verj- large crops. Price, peck (14 

 lbs.), SI. 00; bu. (56 lbs.), S3.50. 



Sweet '''odder Com. For soiling or ensilage. Some dairy- 

 men prefer the sweet fodder com 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 2 bushels to the acre. Peck 

 (12} lbs.), 75 cts.; bu. (50 lbs.), $2.50.

 which are well filled with plump grains. It ripens early and is 

 good for both feeding and malting. Peck, $1.00; bu. (48 lbs.), 

 $3.00.

 to the acre, or } bushel in drills.

 weight per acre of other sorts. The grains are nearly twice 

 as large as those of Silver Hull and of a much better color.

 who claim that it makes the best grade of ilour. Lb., postpaid,
