STECEIiEIl'S SEIiECTED ZMFBOVED 

 YEIiliOW CBEOZii:. — Produces well with 

 little cultivation, is not affected by 

 drouth or by excessive rains; is not 

 injured by climbing- wet vines at time 

 of its maturity, resists the attacks of the 

 birds in the field. Long- yellow ears, filled 

 to the end, large grains, tapering: cob, 

 close fitting covering of long: tough shucks; 

 g-enerally two or more ears, g-rowing- high 

 upon a tall firm stalk. Will yield, in fit 

 condition for storing-, almost every ear that 

 buds in the spring-. 



HICKOBT KING.— This field corn has 

 come into general cultivation. It has 

 proven itself all that is claimed for it and 

 is the largest g-rained and smallest cobbed 

 pure white 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 

 g-reat consideration in field corn planted in 

 the South. 



GOImHHN dent gourd seed.— This is 

 now the standard variety in many corn 

 growing- sections. Ears average nine to ten 

 inches long-, tapering- slightly toward tip, 

 are about six inches in circumference, con- 

 tain 16 to 20 rows, and are remarkably 

 uniform. Kernels light yellow, deeply 

 dented, and well placed on cob of medium 

 size. Matures in 80 to 90 days. 



STOWEIiXi'S EVEBGBEEN SUGAR. — 



This is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is 

 early, the ears of large size and are well 

 filled. It remains green longer than any 

 other variety, and is quite productive. The 

 cultivation of this excellent cereal, as well 

 as all other Sugar Corn, is much neglected, 

 yet why people will plant common field 

 corn for table use considering size instead 

 of quality, we cannot understand. Recom- 

 mended by the Louisiana Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station for canning. 



BEST OP AZ.Z.. — This white corn is the 

 most profitable variety yet introduced. It 

 is a week later than the Large Adams, but 

 the ears are large, nearly double the size 

 of Adams, therefore the lateness of bearing 

 is offset by its extra large size, a quality 

 that is demanded by all our truckers and 

 gardeners. We recommend it very highly. 



IMPROVED ZiEAMING. — A very popular 

 and extremely productive variety. On good 

 land the stalks grow tall, producing two 

 g-ood ears to each stalk. The ears are long, 

 with small red cob well filled with grains 

 of medium size, of a rich golden color. 

 Extensively grown by sugar planters for 

 first feed, making- a good crop even in dry 

 seasons, by reason of its strong- vigorous 

 growth. Stalks are leafy, making excellent 

 fodder, while the grrains being so deep, 

 yield an extra large quantity of shelled 

 corn per bushel of ears.
