Field Corn 



FIELD KORN 



■HICKORY KING" WHITE CORN.— So large are the 

 grains and so small the cob that on an ear broken in half 

 a single grain will almost completely cover the cob sec- 

 tion. Of strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in 

 the ground and stand upright, resisting severe storms. It 

 yields splendid crops on light soil and is undoubtedly the 

 iaest and most productive white field corn for the South. 

 Pt., lOc; qt., 15c.; gal., 35c; pk., 60c; bush., $1.75. 



PEDRICKS IMPROVED MAMMOTH GOLDEN 

 BEAUTY CORN.— Has the largest ears of any 100-day 

 corn. The increased yield repays the cost of seed many 

 times over. Growers should make sure of getting the 

 largest yield and most handsome grain to meet the com- 

 petition of the times and secure the highest prices. Ears 

 usually average from 9 to 12 inches long and from 14 to 

 20 rows on a cob, some of the stalks bearing from two to 

 three ears. Pt., lOc; qt., 15c.; pk., 50c.; bush., $1.60. 



CHOICE WHITE DENT CORN.— This is one of the 

 most prolific, large-eared corns on the market. The 



grains are deep and narrow, with an exceedingly small 

 cob. Where white field corn is wanted, this is the kind 

 we recommend. Pt., loc; qt., 15c.; pk., 50c.; bush., $1.60. 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE CORN.— A pure white 

 corn on a white cob. Not a red cob in the lot. Ears 

 average over twelve inches. Not slender Hke so much 

 of the long corn, but big in proportion. Very deep grain, 

 not overly wide. Rows generally 20, sometimes 22 or 

 24. A perfect shape. That is the striking thing about 

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

 and deep grains. Grains fit very tightly together, show- 

 ing a square rather than a rounded top. Stalk very 

 strong and of medium height. Ears always lop over, 

 but shanks are not long enough to blow off easily. Sea- 

 son about no days. Ripens in plenty of time in this 

 latitude and 100 miles north. Compared with other va- 

 rieties it is about two inches longer, better shape, better 

 grain and dries out better. Price, $1.75 per bushel; 50c per 

 peck.

CULTURE OF CUCUMBER. — For early cucumbers sow the first of April in a hot-bed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), so that they can be readily trans- 

 planted to the open ground in rich soil when danger of frost is over or protect by hand glasses. For early use plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, 

 in hills about four feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill after all danger from insects is over; they succeed best in warm, moist 

 rich, loamy soil; continue planting at intervals for a succession. The cucumber should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to 

 ripen it destroys the productiveness. For pickles plant from June until the middle of July.

selected strain of this famous cucumber is by far the best 

 type on this or any other market. We have this season
