MM Gap Yellow Dent. Corn. 



This new corn introduced last year combines more solid merit than any corn ever catalogued 

 heing suitable for all climates and soils, and yet grows large ears and matures early. The ear grows 

 as large as the Leaming 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 Learning. 



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 cultivation. 



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 Learning, 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.

 cause

SEED POTATOES. 



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

 oifer a few selected and of the choicest of the newer varieties, which are worthy of a thorough trial 

 by all progressive farmers and potato growers. 



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

 plant new varieties with new blood and vigor to insure large crops of potatoes, and they will prove 

 far superior to old stock in Early Maturity, Increased Yield, and Vigorous 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, barrels or drayaye. 



To avoid delay, when ordering late in the season, it would be well to mention yonv second 

 choice provided we should be sold out of variety ordered. 



At the 2]ound price we send by mail prepaid; at pec/c, bushel and barrel rates they are sent by freight or 

 express, at expense of purchaser. 



PcQnd Prices. All varieties at 30 cts. per lb., 3 lbs. for 75 cts., prepaid. 



BURPEE'S EXTRA EARLY POTATO. 



BURPEE'S EXTRA EARLY. Thoroughly tested 

 by several thousand growers. It has proved 

 itself as early as the Early Ohio, and nearly twice 

 as productive. The potatoes are uoiformly of 

 good size, oblong in shape, very smooth, eyes 

 set well on the surface, skiu creamy white, 

 slightly shaded with pink: the flesh is pure 

 white, remarkably fine grained, and of the very 

 best table quality. The tubers grow very com- 

 pact in the hill, with strong and vigorous 

 foliage; it is a sure cropper, and will undoubt- 

 edly become a standard extra early potato. Per 

 pk. 40 cts., bu. $1.25, 3bu. S3.00. 



EXTRA EARLY SIX WEEKS. Evidently a 

 seeaJlng of Early Ohio, wnich it very closely 

 resembles in every way. It is of large me- 

 dium size, smooth, oblong to round in shape, 

 skin light pink; flesh white; eyes near surface; 

 tubers close together in the hill, and begin to 

 form when the vines are very small and grow 

 so rapidly, that, under favorable circum- 

 stances, they are as large as hen's eggs, and 

 are therefore fit for family use, in six weeks 

 from time of planting, and mature in between 

 ten to eleven weeks. We find them good yield- 

 ers, productive and good croppers for so early 

 a sort. Per pk. 60 cts., bu. $1.50. 



EARLY OHIO. This standard extra early sort 

 matures about two weeks before the Eariy 

 Rose. It is widely known and deservedly pop- 

 ular in all parts of the country. It ha'^ given 

 better satisfaction over a wider range of coun- 

 try than any other variety. Our choice grown 

 seed is at least ten days earlier than Southern 

 grown stock, and will out-yield them by far. 

 Experienced gardeners will have no other s^eed 

 n.t any price. Per pk. 40 cts., bu. $1.00, 3 bu. 

 $2.50.
