Late Varieties 



StoweU's Evergreen Sugar. This is 

 not only the most celebrated, but the most 

 popular of all the varieties, although not an 

 early sort. It is, without any exception, the 

 best for table use of the entire lot, although 

 quite late. Some may obser\-e they have 

 tried it and found it liot equal to the ordi- 

 nary sugar. To such we say you have not 

 had the pure stock, as no 

 variety degenerates so 

 quickly, unless the grown is 

 exceedingly careful . We 

 have ver>' frequently ob- 

 ser\-ed samples sent out by 

 s-jme seed establishments as 

 ^towell's Evergreen, that 

 were composed of several 

 varieties, caused by being 

 grown in the vicinity. Pt., 

 10c.; qt., 20c.; gal., 60c.: 

 pk.. 90c.: bu., $3.25; per 

 dozen, 40c. 



Late Mammoth. A 

 rather late variety on ac- 

 count of its immense size, 



producing the largest ears of any variety. These measure up to 14 inches in length 

 and are well filled with large broad white kernels which are sweet, tender and 

 delicious. Usually there are 16 to 18 rows to the ear. The stalks are very large, about 

 eight feet high and productive. Packet, 5c.; pt., 10c. ; qt., 20c.; 4 qts., 50c.; }4 bush., 

 85c.; bush., $3.25. 



Rice Pop Com for Popping or Seed. A very handsome variety; ears short; kernels 

 long, pointed: very prolific; no variety of pop corn is superior to this for popping. 

 10c. per lb. 



Field Corn 



Hickory King. Broad large, white 

 grain, specially adapted to poor ground ; 

 grows 2 to 3 ears to the stalk. Pt., 

 10c.; qt., 15c.; gal., 35c.: pk., 60c.; 

 bush., $2.00. 



Mammoth Golden Beauty Com, 

 large yellow grain; fine size ears; very 

 small cobs. Pt., 10c. ; qt., 15c.; pk., 

 60c.; bush., $2.00. Choice White 

 Dent Com. Long narrow grain ; large 

 fodder; very prolific; large ears, small 

 50c.: bush., $1.75. 



Boone County White Com. A pure white com on a white cob. 

 Not a red cob in the lot. Ears average over twelve inches. Not slender 

 like so much of the long com, but big in proportion. Very deep grain, 

 not overly wide. Rows generally 20, sometimes 22 or 24. A perfect 

 shape. That is the striking thing about it — big, long ears, beautiful 

 shape, perfect butts and tips, and deep grains. Grains fit very tightly 

 together, showing a square rather than a rounded top. Stalk very 

 strong and of medium height. Ears always lop 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 m-.les north. Compared 

 with other varieties it is about two inches longer, better shape, better 

 grain and dries out better. Price, $2.00 per bush., 50c. per pk. 



Too much care cannot be given to the growing of Com. In Sugar 

 Com for table use care should be exercised that the seed be Northern 

 and Eastern grown, because you get better yield and sweeter corn. 

 In field com that 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 75 to 100 bushels to the acre? 180 bushels have been 

 grown to the acre with special care and fertilizers, but this is unusual. 

 When com is bringing from 70c. to 80c. a bushel, the difference 

 between 50 and 100 bushels means a difference of frem $35.00 to $40.00 

 to each acre. The present war means high prices for our corn for at 

 least another year. Get the best for seed.
