White Rockdale Corn. 



or for the table. It is very prolific, pro- 

 ducing from four to six ears of corn. They 

 are of medium size, but well filled and 

 heavy. It is second early. We recommend 

 it as an early yielding corn for field culture. 



Improved I/eaming-. An extra early 

 field variety. It is not hard and flinty, but 

 sweet and nutritious, making excellent feed 

 and fine meal. The ears are large and hand- 

 some, with deep large grains, deep orange 

 color and small red cob. It is very produc- 

 tive. The shucks cover the ear better than 

 any Northern or Western variety we have 

 ever tried. It is 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 hand- 

 somest of all yellow 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 shrivelled, as in the Golden Dent. 

 Golden Beaut}' matures earl} 7 , 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 growing 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 is recommended for general crop. 



The originator of this variety says: "This 

 corn 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 crowding in the drill as 

 close again as any other kind. Ears of me- 

 dium size, but long. It stands the drouth 

 better than ordinary corn." Should be 

 olanted early. 



Hickory King. This Field Corn has 

 come into general cultivation. It has proven 

 itself all that is claimed for 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 produc- 

 tive. 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 planted quite extensively 

 and has proven to be everything that was 

 claimed for it. It is the best Southern 

 White Corn in cultivation, flintier than the 

 Mosby's Prolific; moderately early; cob 

 small, grain deeply dented, of pure white 

 color and makes excellent meal. We recom- 

 mend same highly; any one using this corn 

 will not be disappointed. 



Yellow Creole. This is the flintiest 

 variety of all corns in cultivation; it can be 

 easily called weevil proof. It will withstand 

 more drought than any other sort; the ears 

 are well covered by the shuck, which pre- 

 vents birds from picking it and rain from 

 spoiling it. It is the kind generally planted 

 here for main crop. The strain we offer is 

 the true kind and very choice.
