 power. We shall be pleased to quote any varieties not listed herein. 



Early Mastodon Dent. A very early strofig growing 

 corn, with exceedingly large ears and grain. In the 

 American Agriiultiirist corn contest in 18S9 it outyielded 

 all others, making the wonderful record of 213 bushels of 

 shelled corn to the acre.

Cloud's Early Yellow Dent. Early, strong and vig- 

 orous, growing from 6 to 8 feet high, producing large,

 markably prolific corn, and should be largely grown by- 

 careful farmers.

 Silo owner or dairy farmer should not overlook. It grows 

 12 to 16 feet high, has broad foliage and tender stalks.

 ing hot weather when the grass is burned up. It will 

 yield 30 to 40 tons per acre. Sow 1^ to IJ bushels per 

 acre. Qt. 15 cts., peck 50 cts,, bu. $1.25.

 number of shoots, growing 12 feet high, thickly covered with 

 leaves, and yielding such an abundance of forage that one 

 plant is considered amply suflrcient lo feed a pair of cattle for 

 24 hours. As a soiling or fodder plant in the South it sur- 

 passes either corn or sorghum, and in the extreme South is a 

 perennial. The leaves are long and broad, and the stalks fuIL 

 of sweet sap. Per oz. 15 cts., lb. $1.50, postpaid $1.60.
