 F. W. Bolgiano & Co., 

 Dear Sir: I must say that 

 I had the finest crops from 

 your seed any one ever saw. 

 The Ensilage Corn could not 

 be better, 18 acres made over 

 300-ton of ensilage, besides I 

 had fed some before cutting.

YELLOW CORN 

 Bolgiano's Prosperity 



Com '' y°" really wart to 

 ' grow a bumper crop 

 of beautiful Yellow Dent Corn 

 this year, just take our advice 

 and plant Bolgiano's "Pros- 

 perity" Corn. The fine, large, 

 stately ears are 12 to 14 Inches 

 long, 8 to 11 Inches In circum- 

 ference and have from 20 to 24 

 uniform rows of long, large 

 kernels, well developed over tip 

 and butt. It is a luxuriant 

 grower, from 12 to IB feet 



high, and if planted during the first half of May, will mature be- 

 fore the 20th of September. For more than a score of years 

 "Prosperity Corn" has been under the most watchful breeding 

 and selection. 



Reid's Yellow Dent. Vl^ is a splendid Tellow Dent va- 

 riety with 18 to 24 rows of kernels 

 on an ear. The cob Is small and red and the grains are very 

 close together, so there is scarcely any room between the rows. 

 Reid's Yellow Dent has been awarded more prizes at Corn shows 

 than any other variety except "Prosperity." The ears average 

 8 to 10 inches long. Matures 90 to 100 days. 



Its extreme earliness and 

 fine quality have made it 

 very popular with the farmers, and especially with those in the 

 localities where the seasons are short. It produces from 65 to 90 

 bushels to the acre. In accordance with the quality of the soil. 

 The ears and grains are of medium size.

corn on a white cob. Very 

 deep grain, not overly wide. 

 Rows generally 20, sometimes 22

 is the striking thing about it — 

 big. long ears, beautiful shape, 

 perfect butts and tips, and deep

 yielder; has small cob and pro- 

 duces good-sized fodder, free 

 from barren stalks. Matures 

 in 110 days.

Cnrn So large are the grains 

 ^ • and so small the cob 

 that on an ear broken in half 

 a single grain will almost cover 

 the cob section. Of a strong 

 growth, the stalks take a firm 

 hold in the ground and stand 

 upright. It yields splendid 

 crops on light soils, and Is un- 

 doubtedly the best and most 

 productive White Field Corn for the South.
