Oklahoma White Wonder. 
OKLAHOMA WHITE WONDERB.— The 
king of all corn. It grows under conditions 
that kill all other varieties. It is, as its 
name implies, a white variety. Its good 
points are so numerous that were we to 
detail them all, one by one, our readers 
would think we were exaggerating the 
facts. But this corn is grown in every 
part of the country and is pleasing every 
one that has planted it. It is grand and 
good and reliable—a veritable mortgage 
lifter. It makes the prettiest stand of any 
corn we have ever seen. The stalks grow 
from ten to thirteen feet in height and are 
oes thick, with short and heavy 
joints. 
MEXICAN JUNE.—This is a valuable 
addition to our large and selected list of 
field corn, best adapted for the South, has 
been thoroughly tested in the past and has 
proven all that was claimed for it. It is 
the best late corn yet introduced. It is a 
strong, robust grower, sending the roots 
deep into the soil. Stands heat and drouth 
well. Ears large, small grain and well 
covered with shucks. We recommend same 
highly. Should be planted in succession 
from middle of April to end of August. 
POP COBN.Is one of the smallest 
varieties of kernels or seeds, cultivated 
same as field or garden corn, but drilled 
instead of hills. Very extensively used for 
pop corn candy. We handle the two best 
varieties known, the Rice and the Pearl, 
for seed purposes or candy manufacturing. 
MOSBY’S PROLIFIC.—This is a South- 
ern corn, and is recommended for general 
crop. The originator of this variety says: 
“This corn is a cross between two widely 
different varieties. It is purely white, 
small cob, deep full grain, neither too hard 
nor too soft, and stands crowding in the 
drill as close again as any other kind. 
Ears of medium size, but long. It stands 
drouth better than ordinary corn.” Should 
be planted early. 
NE PLUS ULTRA OR SHOE PEG 
SUGAB.—Is some three to five days earlier 
than Country Gentleman Corn, which is as 
late as Stowell’s Evergreen. It has very 
small cob, long grain, shape of shoe pegs. 
It is very sweet and tender and largely 
used by market men in the large cities of 
this country. 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.—A _ remark- 
ably satisfactory and delicious corn for 
family use. The ears are good sized and 
produced in great abundance, many stalks 
bearing four plump ears. Its long, small, 
milky kernels are full of sweetness, and as 
the cob is small, and the corn white and 
tender, it is sure to please. Recommended 
by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment 
Station for canning. 
YELLOW NEW MADRID.—This corn is 
about six inches in circumference, the 
kernels light yellow, very uniform and 
deeply dented. Ears average 9 to 10 inches 
in length. 
WHITE NEW MADRID.—Can be planted 
close and thick on account of being a small 
corn. Has small cob, but bears a full-sized 
ear. Grain is pure white, heavy and long. 
CRESS. 
For Price List See Red Pages in Back of Book. 
Cresson (Fr.), Kresse (Ger.), 
CULTURE.—Used for salad during the Winter and Spring. 
drill six inches apart. 
CUBLED OBR PEPPER GRASS.—A popu- 
lar salad which should be sown early in 
the spring at short intervals, for succes- 
sion, as it soon runs to seed. 
BROAD-LEAVED.—This variety is ex- 
tensively cultivated for the market. It is 
Berro (Sp.), Agretto (Ital.)

ered a very wholesome dish. 
WATER CRESS.—We have succeeded in 
obtaining and are controlling the output of 
Water Cress seeds. 
Steckler’s Seeds Are True to Name and Quality.
