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 than 

 the ordinary varieties. It is very uniform in its growth, stiff-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. This, with the fine 

 long heads which it produces, means an increase in productiveness, and farmers who have sown this 

 variety are enthusiastic in its praise, claiming it to be the best and most productive variety naw on the 

 market. 



PURPLE STRAW, or BLUE STEM. A fine productive Wheat, in high favor in the South. Makes 

 very best quality flour. We are very careful in securing this seed which we offer to get them from the best 

 and largest-yielding crops grown throughout this section, and we have received the most flattering 

 reports from our customers as to the large and satis factory yields from our seed. 



Selected Seed Corns 



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- 

 yellov^' 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. 



PAMUNEEY 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 15 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% 

 to 254 inches in diameter, with a good depth of 

 grain.
