Batt's Pour-Ear Prolific Corn. 



BATT'S POUR-EAR PROLIFIC CORN. 



This is a small ear white variety of 

 corn, and grows from four to six ears to 

 the stalk. Batt, the originator of this 

 corn, claims that it yielded last year 227 

 bushels per acre on land in North Caro- 

 lina; the land was measured by the Agri- 

 cultural Department of that State and the 

 yield verified by them. We secured several 

 bushels of the seed at an expense of $8.00 

 per bushel and planted it here and it has 

 given us splendid results and we feel that 

 it is going to be a very fine corn for this 

 country, as well as our State. It matures 

 in about 100 days and grows about the 

 same height as the ordinary variety of 

 corn. Price, pint 20c; quart 35c; gallon 

 80c; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00. 



BLOODY BUTCHER CORN, 



A most beautiful large-grained Red Corn. 

 It is an enormous yielder of large, hand- 

 some ears, measuring from 10 to 12 inches 

 long and containing from fifteen to twenty 

 rows of splendid, deep grains. Price, 

 pint lie; quart 20c; gallon 60c; peck $1.00; 

 bushel $3.00. 



STRAWBERRY HICKORY KING CORN. 



Tkis is the largest grained and smallest 

 cobbed dent corn in the world. It is early, 

 the ears are from 7 to 9 inches in length, 

 and are generally borne from 3 to 5 on a 

 stalk, making it very productive. The 

 ears are well covered by shucks, a great 

 consideration in field corn planted in the 

 South. It matures in 118 days, is a splen- 

 did keeper, almost weevil-proof, and very 

 firm; has been tried in the South with 

 satisfactory results. Price, pint 20c; 

 quart 35c; gallon 90c; peck $1.50; bushel 

 $5.00. 



WHITE TUSCARORA CORN. 



. This variety is becoming a great favor- 

 ite in the South because of the fact that 

 it is as sweet as sugar corn, with ears 

 much longer, and fully as early as the 

 Early Evergreen or ten days earlier than 

 the Stowell's Evergreen. It has 8 or 10 

 rows of cream white colored corn. We 

 cannot recommend a better roasting ear 

 than this corn and we feel that it will 

 please you if planted for home use and 



will please your customers in the market, 



if you are planting for profit. Price, pint 



15c; quart 25c; gallon 75c; peck $1.25; 

 bushel $3.50. 



STICKLER'S SPECIAL WHITE WINTER 

 LETTUCE. 



This Lettuce has been planted North, 

 East and West, and has become more than 

 popular. It has been tried here last win- 

 ter and found to surpass any of the other 

 Lettuce we are now growing. It is hardy, 

 light green in color; fine head. We feel 

 that it is the coming winter Lettuce for 

 the Southern States; too much cannot be 

 said of it as a winter growing Lettuce. 

 Price, 25c per ounce; 50c per *4 lb.; $1.75 

 per lb. 



HALBERT'S RUBBER RIND WATER- 

 MELON. 



This grand new variety is the product of 

 Mr. H. A. Halbert, the veteran melon grow- 

 er of Texas and the world. Mr. Halbert 

 has given to the public many fine new 

 varieties of melons during the years he has 

 been making a specialty of growing water- 

 melons. Some have been shipping varieties
