NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
STECKLER’S KING GOLDEN CORN is 
medium early and matures considerably 
in advance of the ordinary Southern vari- 
eties. It makes a strong stalk that stands 
up well in stormy weather. The ears are 
beautiful, medium large, tapering ears, 80 
to 87% grain and you will find that a large 
number of the stalks will bear two ears. 
Many more make one fine ear and a good 
nubbin. It is a good yielder on uplands 
and makes splendid crops of large ears on 
bottom lands. It has been tested by Ex- 
periment Stations of several states and it 
has led in yield and quality of ear and 
grain so often that it has become the most 
sought after Yellow Dent Corn in several 
Southern States We recommend it as one 
of the best for the South. See illustration
