FIELD CORN. 



I have an excellent stock of several hundred bushels of seed 

 field corn, all of my own growing-. This corn has been extra selec- 

 ted, and hand nnbbed. My set d corn is very fine and I shall be 

 pleased to supply everybody who is in need of seed, believing that 

 my stock of seed corn will give satisfaction wherever used. 



EIGHTY DAY YELLOW DENT.— This is said to be the earliest 

 dent corn in the world and so far as my own observation goes, it 

 is true. I planted a field of this corn the past season after plowing 

 up an old berry field, about the 10th of June, and the corn grew 

 and was ready for cutting by the last of August. This corn is 

 especially adapted to a northern climate where the season is short 

 and the frost comes early in the fall. There is no que-tiou that it 

 will give satisfaction in northern States, New York. Lanada and 

 similar latitudes, and under favorable conditions 1 have no doubt 

 that it will mature in seventy-five days of good corn weather. 

 The Eighty Day Yellow Dent is earlier than the Pride of the 

 North. It is the highest standard known in the production of an 

 early variety for the extreme North, The ears run from seven to 

 ten inches long with sixteen to tw enty rows of very compact 

 grains, solidly set on a small red cob and will yield from forty to 

 sixty bushels of shelled corn per acre. My seed crop this season is 

 unusually fine. Those of our readers who want an early corn that 

 is early, should not fail to give the Eighty Day Y~ellow Dent a 

 trial. I have a good stock and have made the price reasonable. 

 Large Pkt. 10c: qt. 25c: postpaid. Peck 60c; h Du. £1.00: bu. $1.75; 

 2 bu. $3.00; 10 bu. or over $1.40 per bushel, bags included.

HARYLAND QUEEN.— It is a beautiful sight to look at in 

 the crib I nave been growing this strain of white corn for 

 number of years and have found it to be an extremely valu- 

 able sort. The ears are usually eight to xen inches long, set 

 very close and compact on the ear, which is well filled out at 

 both ends, the small or top end usually being entirely cov- 

 ered over with corn. The above photograph waa taken from 

 a fair sample of three ears. Hundreds of bushels just as good 

 arenowln my corn crib. While I have been growing and se- 

 lecting this variety for a number of years, I never offered it to 

 the public until last season. I believe all who plant it will be 

 pleased with the results. It matures in about one hundred 

 days, grows to medium height, with strong, sturdy stalks. I 

 sold se v eral hundred bushels of this variety to the leading mill_ 

 er in Salisbury the past season, and he paid me two cents per 

 bushel over the highest market price for white corn and told 

 me that it was the best corn that he had bought this season, 

 and made the whitest and sweetest meal, Large pkt. 1, c; qt. 

 25c: postpaid. Peck 5"c: half bu. 90c; bu. $1.50; 2 bu. $2.75; 10 

 bu. or over $1.25 per bushel, bags included.

KANSAS K^G.— I planted largely of this valuable corn the 

 past sea son and I am well pleased at the results, having made a 

 magnificent crop. This variety is of recent introduction, and 

 is bound to please all who grow it. It matures in about ninety- 

 five days and yields very heavily, the corn averaging from five- 

 eighths to three quarters of an inch long, set on small red cobs. 

 Sixty well developed ears will shell a bnshel of corn. This corn 

 grows deeply, and it will stand drouth better than many others. 

 The above illustration is a photograph taken from average ears. 

 I have several .hundred bushels that are just as gooa as those 

 in illustration. The increased yield this corn will give you in 

 one season will more than pay you for the cost of the seed corn 

 several times over. Try it and be convinced. Large pkt. 10c; 

 qt. 25c: postpaid, Peck 50c; half bu. Wc; bu. $1.50; 2 bu. $2.75:10 

 bu. or over $1.25 per bushel, bags included. 



POOR MAN'S CORN.— This is an excellent new early corn of 

 larger, rounder growth than my Eighty Day Yellow' Dent, but 

 not quite so early. I had a field of thi* corn planted the last of 

 June, on land where I harvested a crop of scarlet clover seed, 

 and then plowed in the stubble and planted the corn. Ihe crop 

 was entirely set and thoroughly mature. It is a very deep, 

 beautiful yellow color with deep grains set on small cobs. 

 This great corn is the result of a series of crosses, and subse- 

 quently by a continuous systematic selection. This corn will 

 mature in ninety days and yields heavily on either light or 

 heavy soil. I am much pleased, with the variety and plant it

OATS. 



1 have a fine stock of spring oats that are well matured which are very good. I see no great difference in the 



and nicely clevned, which I am pleased to offer the seed two varieties. If there is any preference, however, my 



trade. These oats are of my own growing and I know choice would be the Large White. I shall be pleased to 



that they are very fine. I have two varieties— the Large hear from anyone who wants spring oats for seeding.
