OATS. 



A great 



HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION. A remarkable variety, 

 Yielding enormously of the very finest and best grain. Its 

 straw is so strong and stiflE that it does not lodge, even on rich 

 soil and succeeds upon all soils and under all conditions, 

 whether subjected to hot or cold, excessively wet or extremely 

 dry weather. The heads are large and full, with large plump 

 kernels Has yielded as high as 102 bushels per acre, weighmg 

 forty-two pounds per bushel, and will produce upon fairly good 

 soil and in an ordinary season ninety bushels per acre. It is 

 indeed a champion, and truly " knocks out" all other varieties. 

 Pkt., 40c; bu. (3-2 lbs.), $1.00; 5 bu. or more, 90c perbu., bags 

 included. 



CORN. 



PEDRICK PERFECT GOLDEN BEAUTY. 



improvemoni ujion Golden 

 Beauty ; heretofore the most 

 desirable and profitable field 

 corn in cultivation. In addi- 

 tion to being a sure cropper, 

 it gives (he heaviest yield of 

 any variety of yellow corn 

 that has yet appeared. The 

 ears are very large and are 

 invariably well filled out to 

 the end of the cob, with 12 to 

 16 rows of extra large, bright, 

 golden-yellow kernels, as 

 shown in the illustration. 

 The cob is remarkably small ; 

 so much so that a bushel of 

 ears will yield a larger meas 

 ure of shelled corn than wil 

 any other variety, which, 

 when ground, produces a 

 meal of most superior quality. 

 The kernels adliere firmly to 

 their cob, yet can be shelled 

 readily. The stalks attain a 

 height of from 8 to 10 feet and 

 stand firmly in the ground. 

 In fact, they are so rigid they 

 seldom blow down or become 

 lodged, and resist drought 

 better than any other. Tnlike 

 most other heavy yielding 

 varieties, the Pedrick Per- 

 fect matures its crop quite 

 early and can therefore be 

 successfully grown farther 

 north than almost any other 

 kind. In a word, this variety 

 has the largest and most 

 beautiful kernel of any sort 

 in cultivation and unites more 

 valuable qualities and is con- 

 sequently more profitable 

 than any other variety of 

 j^ellow corn thus far pro- 

 duced. Pkt.. 10c; lb., 25c,
