Boone County Wliite. 



BOONE COUirrT WHITE (ThoroufiTli- 



bred Type). — Is a very large, white 

 corn, something like Silver ISIine, but 

 larger and later in maturing. Ears 

 well filled out at both ends, cylindrical, 

 9 to 11 inches long, averaging 20 rows, 

 some 18 and 22. Grain very deep, a little 

 rough. Cobs white, of medium size. Boone 

 County is a sho"w corn, and has carried off 

 many premiums offered at corn contests at 

 State and county fairs. Matures in 110 to 

 120 days. It is peculiarly suited to all the 

 Southern States, as it ripens earler than 

 the natiive corn and will not be forced 

 ahead too rapidly owing to its slow grow- 

 ing tendencies 



BEID'S YEIiIiOW DENT (Universal 



Yellow Corn). — We offer the pure type 

 of this leading standard variety, which 

 stands among the best all round purpose 

 Yellow Dent Corn grown. Color deep yel- 

 low, with lighter cap. Grain very deep, 

 closely packed; butts and tips almost en- 

 tirely covered over. Slightly rough, with 

 grains dented on top. Leaves and stalks of 

 Reid's Yellow Dent make the finest ensilage 

 and fodder. :Matures in 11 days. 



ZiABG-E WHITE PIiINT. — A very pop- 

 ular variety with gardeners and amateurs, 

 It is planted for table use principally. 



BLOODY BUTCHER. — A most beautiful 

 large-grained Red Corn. It is an enormous 

 yielder of large, handsome ears, measuring 

 from 10 to 12 inches long and containing 

 from fifteen to twenty rows of splendid, 

 deep grains. 



BIiUNT'S FBOI.IFIC FIELD.— This is a 



very excellent variety, either for field or 

 the table, it is very prolific, producing from 

 four to six ears of corn. They are medium 

 size, but well filled and heavy. It is second 

 early. We recommend it as an early yield- 

 ing corn for field culture. 



WHITE BOCKDALE. — A Southern varie- 

 ty has been planted quite extensively and 

 has proven everything that was claimed for 

 it. It is the best Southern White Corn in 

 cultivation, flintier than the Mosby's 

 Prolific; moderately early; cob small, 

 grains deeply dented, of pure white color, 

 and makes excellent meal. We recommend 

 same highly; anyone using this corn will 

 not be disappointed. 



GOLDEN DENT GOUBD 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 or 90 days. 



EABLY YELLOW CANADA.— A long 

 eight-rowed variety, very early, and is 

 planted in both field and garden. It does 



well. 



CHAMPION WHITE PEABL.— This is a 



very handsome white corn. The grain is 

 pure white, exceedingly heavy and long, 

 top of which will span the cob, which is 

 small. Being medium in size of stalk it 

 can be planted much thicker than a large 

 corn, and at the same time bear a full- 

 sized ear. The originator has established 

 in Champion White Pearl Corn a short, 

 thick stalk, with the ear growing low upon 

 it, which is an advantage in stormy 

 weather. Planted a good deal for the 

 market. 



SNOWFLAEE WHITE DENT. — Large 

 ear, large cob; very rank and strong 

 growth — good in" all that makes up a big 

 white corn. 



IMFBOVED YELLOW LEAMING.— A 



^ ery popular- and extremely productive va- 

 riety. On good land the stalks grow tall, 

 producing two good ears to each stalk. 

 The ears are long, with small red cob well 

 filled with grains of medium size, of a rich 

 golden color. Extensively grown by sugar 

 planters for first feed, making a good crop 

 e\ en in dry seasons, by reason of its strong 

 vigoroTis growth. 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. — This is the hand- 

 somest of all yelloA- corn: the ears are 

 of a perfect shape. long and filled out to 

 the end of the cob. Tlie 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.
