ENSIEAGE 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 1J to 1^ bushels per acre. Special prices to buyers of 

 large quantities. 



Red=Cob Ensilage. A pure white Corn on a red cob. It is 

 sweet, tender, juicy, has short joints and produces an abund- 

 ance of foliage. Every dairy farmer should grow this sort; 

 it will produce very large crops. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, peck, 75 cts. ; bu., $2.25. 



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

 stalk; grain plump and white. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, peck, 75 cts.; bu., $2.25. 



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 it burnt up. 

 Grains narrow and white. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, peck, 75 cts.; bu., $2.25. 



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

 it easier to thresh than other kinds and safer to feed to stock.

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

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

 ing a fine appearance. " Storm King" has made a yield of 

 from 60 to 70 bushels per acre, and we recommend it to every
