GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES.

Mexican June. This latest addition to our large and 

 selected list of field corn, best adapted for the South, has 

 been thoroughly tested in the past and has proven all that 

 was claimed for it. It is the best late corn yet intro- 

 duced. It is a strong, robust grower, sending the roots 

 deep into the soil. Stands heat and drouth well. Ears 

 large, small grain and well covered with shucks. We 

 recommend same highly. Should be planted in succes- 

 sion from middle of April to end of August. 



Blunt's Prolific Field. This is a very excellent va- 

 riety, either for field or for the table. It is very prolific, 

 producing from four to six ears of corn. They are me- 

 dium size, but well filled and heavy. It is second early. 

 We recommend it as an early yielding corn for field cul- 

 ture. 



Improved Learning. An extra early field variety. 

 It is not hard and flinty, but sweet and nutritious, mak- 

 ing excellent feed and fine meal. The ears are large and 

 handsome, with deep large grains, deep orange color and 

 small red cob. It is very productive. The shucks cover 

 the ear better than any Northern or Western variety we 

 have ever tried. It adapted to any variety of soils, and 

 produces well on heavy or light soil; it has shown itself as 

 very reliable. 



Golden Beauty. This is the handsomest of all yel- 

 low corn; the ears are of a perfect shape, long, and filled 

 out to the end of the cob. The 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. 



Champion White Pearl. This is a very handsome 

 white corn. The grain is pure white, exceedingly heavy 

 and long, two 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 grow- 

 ing low upon it, which is an advantage in stormy weather. 

 Planted here a good deal for the market. 



Mosby's Prolific. This is a Southern corn, and !<= 

 recommended for general crop. The originator of this 

 variety says: "This crop is a cross between two widely 

 different varieties. It is purely white; small cob, deep 

 full grain, neither too hard nor too soft, and stands crowd- 

 ing in the drill as close again as any other kind. Ears of 

 medium size, but long. It stands the drouth better than 

 ordinary corn." Should be planted early. 



Hickory King. This field corn has come into general 

 cultivation. It has proven itself all that is claimed for it 



and is the largest grained and smallest cobbed Pure White Dent Corn 

 in the world. It is early, the ears are from seven to nine inches in 

 ! length, and are generally borne from three to five on a stalk, making 



it very productive. The ears 

 are well covered by the shucks, 

 a great consideration in field 

 corn planted in the South. 



White Rockdale. This new 

 Southern variety has been plant- 

 ed quite extensively and has 

 proven to be everything that 

 Golden Beauty. was claimed for it. It is the best 













Hickory King.
