CORN. 
Corn is the most important food crop of the world for both man or beast and to have 
the best results, it is necessary to have first class Selected Seed to plant, and especially 
of such varieties as have been found from experience to he best adapted for the South. 
Cheap, poorly selected Seed, usually produces a crop of very inferior quality so it always 
pays to plant the best. We handle all the best varieties of Seed Corn, and have them 
selected for us by growers who make this their business. 
CULTURE.—Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four or five seeds and thin 
out to two or three. Plant for a succession from February to June. Seed corn that is 
in perfect condition today 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 
to keep corn free from weevils in a crib is to put a gallon 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 weevils and will not impair the germination of the 
corn in any way.

Golden Bantam. 
GOLDEN BANTAM.—For sweetness and 
richness of flavor it has no equal. It is a 
hardy, early maturing variety of very dwarf 
growth and can therefore be planted closer 
than other sorts and through a longer range 
of season. The cob is small, but fills out 
nicely with large, deep, cream-cloored ker- 
nels, which turn to yellow when entirely 
ripe. No family garden should be without 
a plot of this excellent Corn. Packet, 10c.; 
4% Ib., 30c.; lb., 55c., postpaid; 11 lbh. peck, 
$3.75; 44 Ib. bu., $13.50, not prepaid.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.—A delicious 
corn for family use.; The ears are good 
sized and produced in great abundance, 
many stalks bearing three to five 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 can- 
ning. Packet, 10c.; 1% Ilb., 30c.; lb., 55c., 
postpaid; 11 Ib. peck, $3.75; 44 lb. bu., 
$13.50, not prepaid. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN SUGAR.— 
This is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is 
early, the ears of large size and are well 
filled. It remains green longer than any 
other variety, and is quite productive. The 
cultivation of this excellent cereal, as well 
as all other Sugar Corn, is much neglected, 
why people will plant common field corn 
for table use we cannot understand. Rec- 
ommended by the Louisiana Agricultural 
Experiment Station for canning. Packet, 
10c.; 4% 1b., 25c.; 1b., 35c., postpaid; 11 Ib. 
peck, $3.25; 44 lb. bu., $11.00, not prepaid.
