If you really want to grow 

 a bumper crop of beautiful 

 Yellow Dent Corn tliis year. Just take our advice and plant Bol 

 giano's "Prosperity" Corn. The fine, large, stately ears are l:'. 

 to 14 inches long, S 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 15 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. Peck, 85 cts.; bushel, $3.00. 



R<ai<l'<i Y«»IIrkiij- riont This is a splendid Yellow Dent va- 

 r\eia S I eilOW ueni. ^.j^^^ .^^j^j^ ^3 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 awariled more prizes at Corn shows 

 than any other variety except "Prosperitv." The ears average 

 S to 10 inches long. Matures 90 to 100 days. Pk. 75c; bus. $2.50. 



Its extreme earliness and fine 

 quality have made it very 

 popular with the farmers, and especially with those in the locali- 

 ties 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, Pk. 75 cts.; bus. $2.50. 



Has the largest ears 

 of any 100-day corn. 

 It outyields many other corns. The increased yields repay the 

 seeds many times over. Growers should make sure of getting 

 the largest yield and most handsome grain to meet competition, 

 and secure the highest prices. Ears usually average from 9 to 

 12 inches long and from 20 to 30 rows on the cob, some of the 

 stalks bearing from 2 to 3 ears. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50. 



WHITE CORN 



Boone County White (Pedigreed Stock), a pure white : 



^ 'corn on a| 



white cob. Very deep grain, not overly wide. Rows generally 20, i 

 sometimes 22 to 24. A perfect shape. That is the striking thing ! 

 about it — big, long ears, beautiful shape,, perfect butts and tips, 

 and deep grains. We believe this to be the best all-around AVhite 

 Corn in existence. It is a heavy yielder; has small cob and pro- 

 duces good-sized fodder, free from barren stalks. Matures in 

 110 days. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50. 



"Hickory King" White Com. So large are the grains 

 ™ and so small the cob tha< 



on an ear broken in half a single grain will almost cover the cob 

 section. Of a strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in thi' 

 ground and stand upright. It yields splendid crops on light soils, 

 and is undoubtedly the best and most productive White Field 

 Corn for the South. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50. 



The very best Silo Corn on the 

 market. For manv years we have 

 used great care in the selection of our seed, which will give a 

 large amount of fodder 3 or 4 long, slender ears of Corn to the 

 stalk. Grows to a height of 15 feet. Can • be sown in hills or 

 planted m checked rows. It is a very rapid grower and can be 

 grown throughout the United States with wonderful success. 

 Growers should not miss planting this special variety of ours 

 for their Silo Corn. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50.

 profitable, but will return to the 

 land the much needed nitrogen. Peas are second only to Clover 

 in their soil enriching properties and can be grown under almost 

 any condition of soil or climate. There is always a ready market 

 for Peas, or they can be profitably ground and fed to the' stock. 

 The vines make rich, nutritious hay. Peck, $1.15; bushel, $4.25.

 Northern States whei-e an early variety is desired. Peck $1.00; 

 bushel, $3.50. 



This is a very valuable 

 forage plant and is rapid- 

 ly becoming more popular each year, as the farmers of this coun- 

 try aro learning more of its great value. It is very hardy. Is 

 valuable as a winter cover crop to prevent leaching, and for 

 forage and fertilizing purposes. It is an annual. ' It succeeds 

 well on nearly all soils and thrives surprisingly on poor, light 

 land and will endure extremes of drought, heat and" cold. It im- 

 proves the soil, being a great nitrogen gatherer. The roots bear 

 innumerable nodules or nitrogen-gathering bacteria. These take 

 the nitrogen from the air and restore it to the soil, where it is so 

 much needed. It belongs to the Pea family, but the vines are 

 much longer and the foliage is more abundant. It may be sown 

 either in the spring or fall with about half a bushel of Rye or 

 Oats for support. It grows rapidly and is particularly valuable 

 in sections where Clover does not thrive. In the North it re- 

 mains green all winter under the snow, and it is invaluable for 

 early pasturing. -Not only does it produce an enormous amount 

 of very valuable feed, but it at the same time restores to the soil 

 a great amount of fertility, which is so much needed. ■ 50 to 60 

 pounds of seed required to the acre. 5 lbs.,~ 15 cts. per lb.; 

 10 lbs., 14 cts. per lb.; 100 lbs., 13 cts. per lb. 



Closely associated with Peas 

 in character. Used for the 

 same purpose as Hairy Vetch, but must be planted in the spring 

 wherever the winters are severe, as this variety is not so hardy 

 as Hairy Vetch. Highly valuable for soiling or for green manur- 

 ing. Sometimes grown with Oats for mowing and feeding to 

 stock. Sow alone 70 to 90 pounds per acre, and 11 wun Oats 6U 

 pounds of Vetch and 40 pounds of Oats. 5 lbs. 10 cts. per lb.; 

 10 lbs., 9 cts. per lb. ; 100 lbs., 8, cts. per lb. 



It is an annual, bearing a close re- 

 semblance in leaf and stalk to the 

 Kale, but both leaves and stalks are more numerous in the 

 Rape plant, and of a taller habit of growth. It is ai pasture 

 plant which may be eaten off by any kind of live stock, but it is 

 pre-eminently fitted to furnish pasture for sheep, cattle and 

 swine. Under favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing 

 sheep or cattle within six weeks from the time of sowing, 

 5 lbs., 15 cts. per lb.; 10 lbs., 14 cts. per lb.; 100 lbs., 12 cts.' lb,
