Beid'B Yellow Dent Corn 



REID'S YELLOW DENT 



This is a popular variety in the central west corn district. It has been grown for the last 

 50 years in Illinois and has taken many prizes at various corn shows and fairs. It has been 

 bred up to a high type of corn. Ear 9 to 10 inches long, 7 inches around, 18 to 24 rows, deep 

 grain with small cob well filled at butt and tip. 



Farmers will find this variety to be a long step in advance towards the aim that corn 

 breeders are striving at, an ideal ear of almost perfect shape and size. Everyone that has 

 grown this variety is delighted with it, for its handsome shape of ear and color, small cob 

 and heavy solid grain. We can recommend this variety very highly and have no doubt every- 

 one who plants it will be pleased. 



Do not plant Reid's on thin light soils for best results. For this kind of soil the Silver 

 Mine will give better crops. Our Reid's Corn is all grown from pedigree stock. Price by 

 mail, pkt. 5 cts., V 2 pt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts.; by freight, pk. $1.00, bu. $3.75, 2 bu. $7.00.

RAPE 

 Dwarf Essex 



This plant is extensively grown in Europe 

 and Canada for forage, especially for sheep, 

 and for green manure, for which purposes 

 there is perhaps no plant better adapted 

 where a quick, rank growth is desired. Farm- 

 ers who raise much stock and desire to get 

 young cattle, sheep or lambs into favorable 

 condition to be sold advantageously in the 

 fall, can do it most cheaply by growing this 

 rape. Prepare the ground as for turnips, 

 sow in May to July, with a turnip drill, in 

 rows two and one-half feet apart, at the rate 

 of two and one-half pounds of seed per acre, 

 or may be sown broadcast at the rate of five 

 pounds per acre. It is also well adapted for 

 a catch crop, where crops have failed, as it 

 makes most of its growth late in the season. 

 Can be sown on stubble land or in corn at 

 the last plowing. Per V 4 lb. 10 cts., lb. 25 

 cts., 3 lbs. 70 cts., not prepaid, 5 lbs. 80 cts., 

 10 lbs. $1.50, 25 lbs. $3.50, 100 lbs. $14.00.
