Imperial White Dent. 



IMPERIAL WHITE DENT.— This is a 

 one ear large variety, a good heavy yielder, 

 strong grower, resists drought and wet 

 better than any other corn on account of 

 its strong growing habit and equally strong 

 root system. It is not a fast maturing 

 corn, it takes from 3 to 4 weeks longer 

 than the Yellow Dent to mature. It is 

 strong enough to raise up after being 

 knocked down by storm even after the ears 

 are well developed. The shuck covers and 

 protects the tip to perfection. Packet, 10c; 

 V z lb. 20c; lb. 30c, postpaid; 14 lbs. $1.50; 

 56 lbs. $4.50, not prepaid. 



HICKORY KING.— This field corn has 

 come into general cultivation. It has 

 proven itself all that is claimed for it and 

 is the largest grained and smallest cobbed 

 pure white dent corn in the world. It is 

 early; the ears are from 7 to 9 inches in 

 length, and are generally borne from 3 to 

 5 on a stalk, making it very productive. 

 The ears are well covered by shucks, a 

 great consideration in field corn planted in 

 the South. Packet, 10c; y 2 lb. 20c; lb. 

 30c, postpaid; 14 lbs. $1.50; 56 lbs. $5.00,

 planted by the local gardeners for roasting 

 ears, and in this respect excels anything 

 we offer for shipping long distances.

 somest of all yellow corn ; the ears are

 the end of the' cob. The grains are not of 

 a flinty type, neither are they so soft as to 

 be greatly shriveled, as in the Golden Dent.

 eighty days from planting, and surpasses 

 all in size and beautly of grain. Packet,

CORN FOR GENERAL FIELD CROP. 

 Southern Grown and Selected Stock. 



GANDY'S PROLIFIC— This corn was 

 introduced into Claiborne Parish, Louisiana 

 between sixty and seventy years ago and

CALHOUN RED COB. — This is probably 

 the best known prolific variety of corn in 

 the State. The type has been changed 

 until it now bears somewhat toward that 

 of the Shoepeg. Cobs are usually a deep 

 red in color. The stalks are usually vigor- 

 ous, even on poor lands, if seasonal con- 



ditions are average. One ear to a stalk 

 is most frequently produced, though two 

 ears may be found. It will mature from 

 one hundred and thirty to one hundred 

 fiftv davs from date of planting. Packet,

MOSBY'S PROLIFIC— This corn has 

 been built up from an ordinary white 

 prolific corn that showed good yielding 

 qualities, and is now recognized as one of 

 the leading prolific varieties for the South- 

 ern States. It is a medium size eared 

 corn with a dented and comparatively soft 

 kernel of good depth and horny white in 

 color. The furrows between the rows of 

 kernels are generally narrow, which shows 

 kernels of good shape. The ears hang
