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 now 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 satisfactory yields obtained from our seed. 



Selected Seed Corns 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE.— A large-eared 

 variety of White Corn. It has deep, soft and 

 very white grains ; it is a vigorous grower and 

 has become 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.. 



COCKE'S PROLIFIC— A very valuable white 

 variety, making enormous yields on rich land. 

 Especially adapted to river bottoms or lands sub- 

 ject to overflows. On account of its flintiness, it 

 can be shocked and harvested early and will not 

 rot in the shock; grains white and flinty; superior 

 for meal and hominy. 



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 ex- 

 cellent meal. Is especially adapted to rich low 

 grounds, and is one of the most valuable ensilage 

 varieties. Golden Beauty
