 Pride of the North. 

 A very early Dent

 growing in high lati- 

 tudes. We have

 July I, and still ma- 

 ture before frost. 

 The ears are of 

 medium size, lo to 

 12 inches long, and 

 contain from 14 to 16 

 rows of kernels. The 

 stalks grow from 6 

 to 8 feet high, and 

 generally produce 

 two ears. Per qt.isc,

 of our best green fodder plants, producing from two to three cuttings 

 during the summer. Sow four quarts in drills, and eight quarts 

 broadcast, to the acre. Per qt. 20 cts. (postpaid 35 cts.), bu. $3.

 render it of especial value. It is enormously prolific, yielding double 

 the weight of other sorts, and makes an excellent flour, equal in

 very heavy crop of seed. Per qt. 20 cts. (postpaid 28 cts.), bu. $3.50. 



TOBACCO. {%ahal) 



The seed should be sown as early as possible after the danger of 

 frost is over. A good plan is to burn a quantity of brush and rubbish 

 in the spring on the 

 ground intended for the 

 seed-bed ; then dig and 

 thoroughly pulverize 

 the earth and mix with 

 the ashes, after which 

 the seed may be sown 

 and covered very 

 lightl3^ When the plants 

 are about six inches 

 high, transplant into 

 rows six feet apart each 

 way and cultivate thor- 

 oughly.

to the climate of the
