SELECTED VARIETIES OF FIELD CORN 



Too much care cannot be given to the growing of field corn, which has been acclimated to the locality, 

 and that care has been used in selection of the seed stock. Why produce 50 bushels to the acre when with 

 the same work and same fertilizers you can grow from 70 to 100 bushels to the acre?

 ain, specially adapted to 

 poor ground; grows 2 to 3 cars 

 to the stalk. Pint 15 cts.; quart

Eureka Ensilage. 



This is a remark- 

 able cor n, pro- 

 ducing an im- 

 mense amount of 

 fodder and a 

 heavy crop of 

 long, slender ear with

 anything finer for ensilage than this variety, and 

 every farmer should plant it freely. Do not fail to 

 try it this year. Pint 15 cts.; quart 20 cts.; peck 

 $1.00; bushel $3.50.

 long ears, beautiful shape, 

 perfect butts and tips, and 

 deep grains. Grains fit 

 very tightly together, 

 showing a square rather 

 than a rounded top. Stalks 

 very strong and of me- 

 dium height. Ears .always 

 1 o p over, but 

 shanks are not 

 long enough to 

 blow off easily. 

 Season about 110 

 days. Ripens in 

 plenty of time in 

 this latitude and 

 100 miles north.

CORN SALAD 



One ounce 

 pounds will : 



nil sow about 18 square feet and six 

 )w an acre. 



112. Broad Leaved (Large Seeded), a del i- 



cious salad, used during the winter and spring- 

 months as a substitute for lettuce, and is also 

 cooked and used like Spinach. Sow in spring in 

 drills 1 foot apart. It will mature in six weeks. 

 For early spring use sow in September and win- 

 ter over like spinach. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 Y 4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



CHICORY 



22. Witloof (French Endive). Witloof Chic- 

 ory is used principally as a winter salad. The 

 seed should be sown in the open ground not later 

 than June. The plants form large parsnip shaped 

 roots which are lifted in the fall, trimmed of leaves 

 and stored in soil in a cool place until wanted for 

 forcing. The roots can be forced in any warm cel- 

 lar or room, requiring about, one month to make 

 edible sprouts. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; % lb. 75 

 cts.; lb. $2.50. 



CRESS 



CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every 2 or 3 

 weeks. It-should be cut often, and it will continue to grow. 

 It is useful not only for salad, but for the breakfast tabic 

 and for garnishing. True Water Cress should be sown in 

 damp soil; or, if a stream of water can be utilized, they will 

 be much finer. They will also thrive well in damp hotbeds. 

 Rightly managed, their culture is very profitable. To obtain 

 early salad, it is a good plan to sow with Water Cress seed 

 a strip 4 inches wide on the outer margin of a hotbed, inside 

 the frame, where it is always cool. 



21. True Water. It thrives when its roots and 

 stems are submerged in water. It is one of the most 

 delicious of small salads. The seed should be sown 

 and lightly covered in gravelly, mucky lands, along 

 the borders of small, rapid streams. Pkt. 5 and 10 

 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; %. lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00. 

 215. Wild Garden. Largely used for pork salad; 

 has a delicious pungent taste. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; J4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50.
