Wheat 



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

 for its productiveness and fine qualitjr of grain. The grain is flintier and of better milling qualities than 

 the ordinary varieties. It is ver^- 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 particu- 

 larly 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.— .\ fine productive \\'heat. 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 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 variet}-, maturing in about 120 daj's ; cob is 

 small; grain very heav}' 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 flintness, 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 manj^ to the stalk. 

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

 rather hard, pure white varietj', and makes excel- 

 lent meal. Is especially adapted to rich low grounds, 

 and is one of the most valuable ensilage varieties.
