and extremely productive variety. On good 
land the stalks grow tall, producing two 
good ears to each stalk. The ears are long, 
Leaming. 
J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 
jwith small red cob well filled with grains 
iof medium’ size, of a rich golden color. 
\Extensively grown by sugar planters for 
ifirst feed, making a good crop even in dry 
jseasons, by reason of its strong vigorous 
igrowth. Stalks are leafy, making excellent 
fodder, while the grains being so deep, 
yield an extra large quantity of shelled 
corn per bushel of ears. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY.—tThis is the hand- 
somest of all yellow corn; the ears are 
of a perfect shape, long, and filled out to 
the end of the cob. The grains are not of 
a flinty type, neither are they so soft as to 
be greatly shriveled, as in the Golden Dent. 
Golden Beauty matures early, ripening in 
eighty days from planting, and surpasses 
all in size and beauty of grain. 
GOLDEN 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, 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE.— Originated’ 
in Boone County, Indiana. This is the 
earliest of the large white varieties of 
corn. The stalks are short with short 
thick joints. The ears are set low on the 
stalks, and are from eight to twelve inches 
long with from sixteen to. twenty-eight 
rows of pure white grain, which is always 
deep on the cob. 
IOWA SILVER MINE.—Large ear, white 
dent, long grain, small cob, 110 day corn. 
Fine yielder of splendid merit. 
IMPROVED YELLOW CREOLE.—Pro- 
duces 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; 
generally two or more ears, growing high 
upon a tall firm stalk. Will yield, in fit 
condition for storing, almost every ear that 
buds in the spring. 
HICKORY EING.—This field corn has 
come into general cultivation. It has 
proven itself all that is claimed for it and 
is the largest grained 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 
great consideration in field corn planted in 
the South. 
FIRST IN THE MARKET SUGAR.—It 
is fully two weeks earlier than Extra Harly 
Crosby and nearly a week earlier than any 
Corn. It is a good producer, more prolific 
than. Extra .Early Crosby’s, the ears are 
somewhat larger and the kernel of a pale, 
pinkish color, some of the ears run entirely 
white, while others again are of a deep 
pink. The stalks grow larger than _ the 
Crosby’s, almost as tall as Stowell’s Ever- 
green, and produce two ears each. 
ADAMS’ EXTRA EARLY.—tThe earliest 
kind, but ears are small and not as desir- 
able as the Adams’ Harly, which follows 
this variety closely in maturity.
