PLATT'S STRAIN OF EVERGREEN CORN 



This is a new and greatlj' improved strain of tlie well-known 

 Stowell's Evergreen Corn. 



Our growers brought out this strain by making a careful 

 cross between the ordinary strain of Stowell's Evef^green and 

 an earlier strain. 



' * ■ 



The yieldSi have been somewhat phenomenal, running as 

 high as 175 bus. per acre;^a majority of the stalks having 

 two ears. > . » 



A very desirable trait is that it is a week or ten days earlier 

 than the ordinary Stowell's Evergreen. 



The kernels tend to be long and narrow, and it is ,.n,ot un- 

 common for the ears to have 18 and 20 rows; in fact,, a few 

 run as high as 22 rows. 



Our growers give us a somewhat remarkalile guaraniec 

 viz.: The, shelled corn is ALL "TIPPEnD" and ByTTEH. 

 ALL THE, CORN 'THEIR' OWN GROWING, and STRICTI Y 

 OF THE CJROP OP 191S. 



We..feel'safe in sayihg-.thajt there iS no corn on the ^market 

 mov^ sweet and tender, or better suited to the needs of tiio 

 priva^te trade. 



The slight additional cost of the seed is insignificant indeed 

 when the customer realizes the fancy seed he is.^tting and 

 the increased yields of fancy 'corn that he will secure lat^jr.
