tiXTRA EARLY HURON DENT- 

 the growers of Field Corn has offered a large sum of 

 money to any man who could produce and iirove to 

 him a Dent Corn as early as Flint. Mr. A. A. Chat- 

 field, of Fulton county, Ohio, has won the money, 

 and I now offer 10 my customers the most perfect 

 shaped ear, economical grain ^and earliest Dent Corn in the 

 United States. This Dent Corn will ripen with my customers 

 In many Northern States, heretofore tiiey have only been able 

 to grow the Flint varieties, and is really themostvaluable extra 

 early corn ever introduced. I*- is of a briglit orange color, has 

 good sized stalk and ear, small red cob. long deep grain, is very 

 rich in oil and starch, and is the only smooth, very early Dent 

 Corn I know of. 70 pounds of ears made 6S}4 pounds of shelled 

 corn, leaving only 6}-^ pounds for the cobs. My own growth

CLARK'S NEW EARLY MASTADON— Called by some Maule's and 

 Improved Early Mastadon I quote the introducers discription 

 as follows: "I claim that it is the largest-eared early Dent 

 Corn ever seen in this section of the country, and the largest 

 grain of any early Dent Corn. It grows strong rank, quick, and, 

 makes the finest appearing shelled corn of them all, being purely 

 Dent, of two shades of white and yellow. To convince your cus- 

 tomers that it will ripen with them just say that it was grown 

 within eight miles of Lake Erie." My own growth choicest

CHESTER COUNTY MAMMOTH— It yields under good cultivation, 

 from one hundred to one 

 hundred and thirty bushels 

 of shelled com per acre. 

 The ears are very large, 

 containing fourteen to 

 thirty-two rows of me- 

 dium sized yellow grains. 

 It furnishes a large 

 amount of fodder, grow- 

 ing twelve to sixteen 

 feet high. It is un- 

 doubtedly one of the best 

 yellow varieties for good 

 land in this latitude and 

 the South, but cannot be 

 relied upon to mature 

 sufiBciently early for the 

 North. My o < n growth,

lOWA COLD MINE— "Six 

 years ago a special pre- 

 mium offer brought sam- 

 ple ears of corn from sev- 

 eral hundred farmers 

 and seed growers, and from these w6 choose the one which was 

 most decidedly the best, and have been selecting and improving 

 it until it is now about as near perfection as corn can be made. 

 It is early, ripening only a few days later than Pride of the 

 North ; ears are of good size and symmetrical ;color a brisrht gold- 

 en yellow, grain is very deep, cob small, and therefore dries out 

 very quickly as soon as ripe. Seventy pounds of ear corn makes 

 sixty to sixty-two pwnds of shelled com, and will grade No. 1 in any 

 market." Myowngrowth, choicest stock seed. Postpaid, qt.

RILEY'S FAVORITE— r quote the originat- 

 or's description (Mr. James Riley, of 

 Boone Co., Ind. No doubt the best Corn 

 Specialist in the countri ). — "The peculiar 

 merit of point or excellence that I clain. 

 for its superior feeding' quality is the 

 great amount of shell corn to cob. I orig- 

 inated this corn fifteen years ago by hybridizing the Golden Yel 

 low, a very large late Corn, with Sibley's Pride of the North, a 

 very deep grain early corn. Since that time, each year, I have 

 improved it by the following method. I select a plot containing 

 one- half an acre, entirely away from any other corn ; I supplied 

 the soil with all necessary fertility, to perfectly develop th( 

 Corn, then give thorough cultivation, and a* 

 soon as the tassels begin to appear I go through the 

 plot and remove all the barren and diseased stalk* 

 of any kind, thus leaving nothing but the most per 

 feet and healthy stalks ; this gives me a pedigree 

 corn, as i know every grain on every ear is fertil- 

 ized by a healthy product! ve tassel. In selecting 

 the seed each year to plant the plot, I have avoided 

 extremes either way, but have selected as my typi 

 cal or standard ear, one of medium size and from & 

 stalk of medium height, making the special point 

 of selecting as small a cob as possible." My

 value to average hay
