NEW WHITE CAP YELLOW DEINT CORN. 



This new corn introduced last year combin es more solid merit than any other corn ever 

 catalogued, being suitable for all climates and soils, and yet grows large ears and matures 

 early. The ear grows as large as the Learning corn and is from seven to ten days earlier, and 

 on poor, thin soil will yield thirty per cent more corn. It will out-yield and out-shell the 

 Leaming. 



Its great merit lies in the fact that it is as natural a yielder as weeds, grows strong, 

 rank and quick, and will produce more corn on poor, thin soils than any kind now in culti- 

 vation. 



After growing different varieties of merit S. H. Todd, of Huron county, Ohio, the largest 

 breeder of Chester White hogs in the world, says, "White Cap Yellow Dent beats them all. 

 It is sure to yield me a crop of good, sound corn. It makes more bone and strength than any 

 other corn, and I will grow no other sort." One hundred farmers in Huron county, expert 

 corn growers, will confirm all that can be said about this corn. Grown in a section with over 

 sixty varieties, it out-yielded all other kinds, and withstood the drouth much better. None of 

 it was fired, no dead tassels could be seen, while on Leaming, Early Butler, Extra Early- 

 Huron, Golden Beauty and other early sorts, dead tassels could be found, caused by the hot, 

 burning sun. 



This corn will be appreciated by those living in drouth sections and by those farmers 

 who have poor, thin soil, while on strong, rich soil it has no superior. 



The tip end of the grains are white, the inside yellow, making it a beautiful color. There 

 are more fine points combined in this corn than any other in cultivation. 



Large growers in the great corn belt, as well as those out of it will be pleased with this- 

 corn. 



SEED POTATOES. 



With no other seed is the importance of a change more necessary than with the potato. 

 We oft'er a few selected and of the choicest of the newer varieties, which are worthy of a 

 thorough trial by all progressive farmei's and potato growers. 



With the potato old varieties seem to run out, and it has been found absolutely nece-snry- 

 to plant new varieties with new blood and vigor to insure large crons of ro^-ntoes, and thev wiii 

 prove far superior to old stock in EARLY MATURITY. INCREASED YIELD, and VIGOR- 

 OUS GROWTH, Our stock has been grown expressly for seed purposes, well selected, hand- 

 picked tubers. 



At the low prices new varieties are offered this season. Would advise potato growers to 

 secure and test the leading new varieties. 



We book orders at any time, and fill in rotation just as soon as the weather will permit, 

 except at the risk of purchaser. At prices named we make no charges for bags, boxes, bar- 

 rels or drayage. 



TO AVOID DELAY, when ordering late in the season, it would be well to mention your 

 second choice provided we should be sold out of variety ordered.

 express, at expense of purchaser.

EXTRA EARLY SIX WEEKS. Evidently a 



seedling of Early Ohio, which it very closelv 

 resembles in every way. It is of large me- 

 dium size, smooth, oblong to round in shape, 

 skin light pink; flesh white; eyes near sui' 

 face; tubers close together in "the hill, and 

 begin to form when the vines are verv small 

 and grow so rapidly, that, under favorable 

 circumstances, they are as large as hen's 

 eggs, and are therefore fit for familv use, in 

 SIX weeks from time of planting, and mature 

 in between ten to eleven weeks. We find 

 them good yielders, productive and good crop- 

 pers for so early a sort. Per pk, 50 cts., bu. 

 $1.25, 3 bu. .$3.00. 



EAKLY THOROUGHBRED POTATO. 



EARLY THOROUGHBRED. This new po- 

 tato is claimed to be perfection. As fine 

 flavor as the Freeman, the greatest cx-opper 

 of any early variety, and as early as the 

 Early Ohio. It resembles the Early Rose in 

 shape, color and quality very much, when this 

 variety was in its prime. THOROUGHBREI> 

 besides being so early, is of handsome ap- 

 pearance, superb quality, an enormous 

 yielder, in fact the introducer considers iti a 

 perfect potato. The quality as a table potato 

 is A No. 1, dry and mealy without falling ta 

 pieces. Per pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.00. 



EARLY OHIO. This standard extra early sort 

 matures about two weeks before the Early 

 Rose. It is widely known and deservedly pop- 

 ular in all parts of the country. It has given 

 better satisfaction over a wider range of 

 country than any other variety. Our choice 

 grown seed is at least ten days earlier than 

 Southern grown stock, and will out-yield then> 

 by far. Experienced gardeners will have no 

 other seed at any price. Per pk. 35 cts., bu. 

 $1.00, 3 bu. $2.50'.
