 greatly increased results can be obtained. The interest in improved Seed Corn is attested by the 

 various prize Corn Contests over the country, and these should be encouraged in every way. The 

 varieties listed here are carefully grown for Seed and will be found first-class in ever}- respect ; all 

 carefully tested for germination before sending out. 



^jjg lOO'SaV Bristol. This valuable field Corn grows steadily in reputation year by 



* year. 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 loo days, but this 

 it does regularl}' and has done for several years past. The grain is a light yellow. The cob is 

 small. It is easily husked and is a desirable Corn in many ways. Price by mail, postpaid, lb.

° Its various types, 



is probabl}- more largely planted, now, than any 

 otlier field Corn known. The ears are very hand- 

 some, of good size, with fair-sized grain of a deep 

 orange color and small, red cob. The stalks grow 

 to medium size (not large), with few suckers, slen- 

 der and leafy, making most excellent fodder, and 

 usually produce two good ears to a stalk. Ripens in 

 from 90 to 100 days, and never fails to make a good 

 crop. Over 100 bushels per acre is not an unusual 

 crop for this Corn. It is also adapted to a greater 

 variety of soils than many, producing unusually w i ll
