EED COR 



Selected Farm Seeds 



At my Floracroft trial grounds each 3-ear, I make 

 careful tests of all of the various fodder plants and 

 different varieties of Corn, testing them both for 

 the grain and for the growth of fodder. I fully 

 appreciate the great importance to the farmer of 

 good field crops and have given close attention to 

 their selection and improvement. I also follow care- 

 fully the bulletins of the Agricultural Experiment 

 Stations upon this subject, and should be glad to 

 give suggestions or advice to those desiring to 

 secure quick crops, and invite correspondence 

 along these hnes. In the following list of farm seeds 

 I believe I give the cream of varieties offered in this 

 country. 



Austin's Colossal Yellow Dent 



(See ear on the left) 



A wonder in large-sized ears, uniformly over afoot 

 in length. This Corn originated on the farm of Mr. 

 H. VV. Austin, of New Jersey. It makes a magnifi- 

 cent ear, averaging 12 to 15 inches in length and 16 

 to 18 rows to the ear of large, deep, rich yellow 

 grains. It will sell for the highest price in any mar- 

 ket, and its average yield is not less than 100 bushels 

 to the acre. The stalks are medium to tall, fre- 

 quently bearing two ears to a stalk, ripening in xio 

 to 120 days from planting, and I believe it to be the 

 heaviest-yielding Corn for light land to be found. It 

 won great admiration at the Pan-American E.xposi- 

 tion at Buffalo in 1901, and has gained friends stead- 

 ily ever since. By mail, postpaid, lb. 30 cts., 3 lbs. 

 75 cts.; by freight or express, sacks included, pk. 

 60 cts., bus. $1.75, bag of 2 bus. $3.25. 



The 100-Day Bristol Field Corn 



(See ear on the right) 



This valuable field Corn grows steadily in repu- 

 tation year by year, and is well worth the attention 

 of every corn- ancl ensilage-grower in the land. 

 While it does not make quite so large a fodder as 

 some varieties of white Corn, by chemical analysis 

 it is shown to be very high in protein, and for this 

 reason it has been recommended by several experi- 

 ment stations as specially valuable for ensilage. It 

 is difficult to believe that a Corn making the heavy 

 growth of stalk and fodder which this does can 

 mature its magnificent ears in 100 days, but this it 

 does regularly and has done for several j-ears past. 

 The grain is a light yellow. The cob is small. It is 

 easily husked and is a desirable Corn in many ways. 

 Price, same as above. 



Early 8-Rowed Yellow Canada Flint 

 Corn 



The Flint Corns are the hardiest and earliest in 

 maturing, and can be grown satisfactorily much 

 farther north than the Dent Corn. It is also well 

 adapted for replanting the later varieties. By mail, 

 postpaid, lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 65 cts.; by express or 

 freight, pk. 60 cts., bus. $2, sack of 2 bus. $3.50. 



lV»i. J. Mott. of Patchoguf, N. K, writes : " The Com 

 that I bought 0/ you last year called 'Austin's Colossal' 

 n'as a colossal sure. It grew to a height of I^Yi feet and 

 yielded 2$s bushels of ears per acre."
