for stock-feeding, as they form very wholesome 

 rymen find them of especial value for feeding to 

 cows, and say that they greatly increase the How of milk. The seeds 

 should be dropped about 2 inches apart in drills 2 feet apart, and the plants 

 thinned so that there will be 12 or 15 inches between them. Round-rooted 

 varieties are best suited to light, sandy, shallow soils ; long-rooted sorts- 

 to deep ones. On rich ground the yield per acre is enormous. 



From 6 to 8 pounds of seed are re- 

 quired to sow an acre.

FIEI.D CORIV. 



Our Field Corn is the very choicest stock from varieties grown specially for seed, and perfect in germinat 

 qualities. Add 10 cents per quart when to be sent by mail. 



twHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. (New.) Combines more solid merit than any Corn ever catalogued ; suit- 

 able for all climates and soils ; grows large ears and matures early. Ears as large as the Learning, and from 7 

 to 10 days earlier ; outyields and outshells the Leaming; it is as natural a yielder as weeds, grows strong, 

 rank and quickly, and produces more Corn on poor, thin soils than any other kind. Grown in a section with 

 over 6a other varieties, it outyielded them all, and withstood drouth much better ; tips of grains are white, the 

 insid^yeliow, making a beautiful contrast. Qt. 10 cts., postpaid 20 cts. ; bus. $1.25 ; 2 bushels, including cotton 



v' LEAMING IMPROVED. Cobs small and red ; grains deep and golden yellow in color ; ears of good size, 

 and generally produced two on a stalk ; ripens very early, and is one of the most desirable sorts. Per qt., 

 postpaid, 20 cts. ; bus. jfi.25; 2 bus., including seamless sack, I2. 50. 



SWEET FODDER. This is grown for green fodder, being very sweet and nutritious. Cattle will eat every 

 part of the stock and leaves. Bus. $1.75. 



yCUBAN GIANT ENSILAGE. Offered for the first time, but thoroughly tested in comparison with all the 

 large white-grained Ensilage varieties. It is a perfect fodder or Ensilage Corn, having the creamy quality of 

 thdTuscarora Corn and the growth and rankness of the Red-Cob Ensilage. The grains are pure white, very 

 large, broad and long; of stronger vitality than any other variety in cultivation — a very strong point in its 

 favor. The fodder grows on the stalk in great quantities, and is of the finest flavor; the best milk producer of 

 all- the Ensilage sorts, being mostly as sweet and tender as Sugar Corn. It will outyield the Red-Cob Ensilage, 

 and is some 10 or 12 days earlier ; the most perfect Ensilage Corn in existence. Qt. 10 cts., by mail 20 cts.; 

 bus. $1.25 ; 2 bus., with cotton sack, $2.40.
