ENSII.AGE CORN. 



The custom of preserving Corn for winter feeding has become 

 30 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 1^ to li^ bushels per acre. Special prices to buyers of 

 large quantities. 



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

 silage 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.

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

 stalk; grain plump and white. It is very productive. Qt.,

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