Wheat 



LEAP'S PROLIFIC. — A splendid new variety, originating in the Shenandoah Valley. It is remarkable 

 for its productiveness and fine quality of grain. The grain is flintier and of better milling qualities thaii 

 the ordinary varieties. It is very uniform in its growth, stifif-strawed, healthy, strong grower and early to 

 ripen. One thing particularly noticeable about this variety is its stooling qualities, it being particularly 

 superior in this respect, producing more stalks to plant than the ordinary wheat. 



Selected Seed Corns 



We had the longest drought ever known to the oldest inhabitant in this section, 

 making a shortage in all varieties of field corn. It would be wise to order your re- 

 quirements as early as possible, as good seed corn will be hard to procure. 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE.— A large-eared va- 

 riety of White Corn. It has deep, soft and very 

 white grains ; it is a vigorous grower and has be- 

 come very popular, and has probably taken more 

 premiums than any other variety of corn for the 

 last few years. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY.— A broad-grained, large- 

 eared variety, maturing in about 120 days ; cob is 

 small ; grain very heavy and of a beautiful golden- 

 yellow color. 



EUREKA ENSILAGE.— This variety is bred 

 from the Cocke's Prolific. The ears are much 

 larger and longer, but not as many to the stalk. 

 The ears run from 9 to 12 inches long. It is a 

 rather hard, pure white variety, and makes excel- 

 lent meal. Is especially adapted to rich low grounds, 

 and is one of the most valuable ensilage varieties. 



PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE.— Our Pamunkey En- 

 silage Corn is bred for height of stalk, breadth and 

 thickness of foliage, as well as size and number of 

 ears. It is of strong and vigorous growth, attaining 

 a height of 13 to IS feet, yields an unusually heavy 

 growth of fodder and usually bears two ears to 

 the stalk. .;The ears are 10 to 12 inches long, 2.14 

 to 2j^ inches in diameter, with a good depth of 

 grain.
