CHOICE SEED CORN. 



Our Improved Strains of Seed Corn are all carefully selected. We test many new varieties every 

 year, and only offer such as will do best in this and other States of the same latitude. The Mammoth 

 Southern varieties seldom do well in this climate. 



All seed corn is carefully tested, and none shipped out that will not grow under proper conditions.

 climate, which are beyond our control.
