Late Varieties 



StowelPs Evergreen Sugar. This is not only the most celebrated, but the most 

 popular of all the varieties, although not an early sort. It is, without any exception, the 

 best for table use of the entire lot, although quite late. Some may observe thev have tried 

 it and found it not equal to the ordinary sugar. To such we say you have not had the 

 pure stock, as no variety degenerates so quickly, unless the grown is exceedingly careful 

 We have very frequently observed samples sent out by some seed establishments as Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen, that were composed of several varieties, caused by being grown in the 

 vicinity. Pt., 10c; qt., 20c; gal., 45c; pk., 75c; bu., $2.75; per dozen, 40c 



Late Mammoth. A rather late variety on account of its immense size, producing the 

 largest ears of any variety. These measure up to 14 inches in length and are well filled 

 with large broad white kernels which are 

 sweet, tender and delicious. Usually there 

 are 16 to 18 rows to the ear. The stalks are 

 very large, about eight feet high and pro- 

 ductive. Packet, 5c; pt., 10c; qt., 20c; 

 4 qts., 50c; \i bush., 80c; bush., $3.00. 



Rice Pop Corn for Popping or Seed. A 



very handsome variety; ears short; kernels 

 long, pointed; very prolific; no variety of 

 pop corn is superior to this for popping. 

 10c per lb. 



Field Corn 



Hickory King. Broad 

 large, white grain, specially 

 adapted to poor ground; 

 grows 2 to 3 ears to the 

 stalk. Pt., 10c; qt., 15c; 

 gal., 35c; pk., 60c; bush., 

 $2.00. 



Mammoth Golden 

 Beauty Corn, large yellow 

 grain; fine size ears; very 

 small cobs. Pt., 10c; qt., 

 15c; pk., 60c; bush., $2.00. 



Choice White Dent 

 Corn. Long narrow grain ; large fodder; very prolific; large ears, small cob. Pt., 10c; 

 qt., 15c; pk., 50c; bush., $1.75. 



Boone County White Corn. A pure white corn on a white cob. Not a red cob in the 

 lot. Ears average over twelve inches. Not slender like so much of the long corn, but big 

 in proportion. Very deep grain, not overly wide. Rows generally 20, sometimes 22 or 

 24. A perfect shape. That is the striking thing about it — big, long ears, beautiful 

 shape, perfect butts and tips, and deep grains. Grains fit very tightly together, showing 

 a square rather than a rounded top. Stalk very strong and of medium height. Ears 

 always lop over, but shanks are not long enough to blow off easily . Season about 110 days. Ripens in plenty of time in 

 this latitude and 100 miles north. Compared with other varieties it is about two inches longer, better shape, better grain 

 and dries out better. Price, $2.00 per bush., 50c per pk.

Too much care cannot be given to the growing of Corn. In Sugar Corn for table use care should be exercised that the 

 seed be Northern and Eastern grown, because you get better yield and sweeter corn. In field corn that which has been 

 acclimated to the locality, and that care has been used in selection of the seed stock. Why produce 50 bushels to the acre 

 when with the same work and same fertilizers you can grow from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre? 180 bushels have been 

 grown to the acre with special care and fertilizers, but this is unusual. When corn is bringing from 70c. to 80c. a bushel, 

 the difference between 50 and 100 bushels means a difference of from $35.00 to $40.00 to each acre. The present war means 

 high prices for our corn for at least another year. Get the best for seed.
