CULTURBRE.—Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thin 
out to two or three. When the ground is strong the Adams’ Extra Early and Crosby’s 
Sugar can be planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more 
dwarfish than the other kinds. Plant for a succession from February to June. Seed 
corn that is in perfect condition to-day may be unfit for use in three days, and we 
suggest that you spread out all seed corn the moment it is received from any seed 
house or grower. The following information was given us by an experienced Missouri 
farmer: The only way te keep corn free from weevils in a crib is to put a gallon can 
of coal oil at the four corners of the crib, taking the corks off and allowing the oil to 
evaporate. The fumes from the oil will keep away the weevil and will not impair the 
germination of the corn in any way. Sweet Corn, 1 quart to 500 hills; 8 quarts to the 
acre. 
Adams’ and. White St. Charles; well filled 
large ear. Recommended highly for family 
use, and used largely by market gardeners. 
| LARGE WHITE FLINT.—A very popu- 
| lar variety with gardeners and amateurs. 
it is planted for table use principally. 
| WHITE TUSCAROBA.—This variety is 
becoming a great favorite in the South 
beeause of the fact that it is as sweet as 
sugar corn, with ears much longer, and 
fully as early as the Harly Evergreen or 
ten days earlier than the Stowell’s Ever- 
ereen. It has 8 or 10 rows of cream white 
colored corn. We cannot recommend a bet- 
ter 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. 
BLOODY BUTCHER.—A most beautiful 
large-grained Red Corn. It is an enormous 
yielder of large, handsome ears, measuring 
from 10 to 12 inches long and containing 
‘rom fifteen to twenty rows of splendid, 
Geep grains. ; 
CHAMPION WHITE PEARL.—This is a 
yery handsome white corn. The grain is 
pure white, exceedingly heavy and _ long, 
top of which will span the cob, which is 
small. Being medium in size of stalk it 
can be planted much thicker than a large 
corn, and at the same time bear a _ full- 
sized ear. The originator has established 
in Champion White Pearl Corn a_ short, 
thick stalk, with the ear growing low upon 
it, which is an advantage in stormy 
weather. Planted a good deal for the 
rarket. 
BRAZILIAN ¥FLOUR.— One of the 
erandest plants ever introduced into this 
country. It originated in Brazil, where it 
constitutes the principal food. This corn 
is especially adapted to the wants of our 
-| Southern States. It withstands drought,
