 F. W. Bolgiano & Co., 



Deal - 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 

 Corn ^ you rea "y want tc 



" grow a bumper crop of 



beautiful Yellow Dent Corn this 



year, just take our advice and 



plant Bolgiano's "Prosperity" Corn. 



The fine, large, stately ears are 12 



to 14 inches long, 8 to 11 inches 



in circumference 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 1") feet high, 



and if planted during the first half of May, will mature before the 



20th of September. For more than a score of years "Prosperity Corn" 



has been under the most watchful breeding and selection. 



This is a splendid Yellow 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. 



Improved Learning Corn Its ..^ t ™ me ear , Iiness and fin<? 



r a quality have made it very popu- 



lar 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.
