In the new Giant Beauty we have a very vahia- 

 ble and long souglit for variety, viz: A very large 

 ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn. 

 Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud's Early Dent 

 and Golden Beauty, possessing the earliness and 

 deep grain of the former, with the handsome deep 

 yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It 

 is absolutely the largest grained of all yellow 

 corn. Its small red cob and great depth of grain are 

 well shown in the acoouiijanyiiig illustration made 

 from an average ear. Its rich, deep golden color and 

 fine quality ot grain make it very superior for grind- 

 ing into meal, and indicate its strong nutritive 

 qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking strong 

 hold iu the ground and averaging eight feet in 

 height, producing two large ears well filled to the 

 extreme ends of the cob, even on light and poor 

 land. Giant Beauty presents the most perfect type 

 of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced, in every respect, 

 and should be planted by all farmers who want to be 

 abreast of the times. Pkt., lOc; ear, 25c.; lb.,

The True Improved Leaming Corn is a pure, fixed 

 and distinct variety, first introduced by us ten years 

 ago. Our strain has been selected "and improved 

 each year since its introduction, and is the Earliest 

 lellow Dent Corn in Cultivation, ripening in 

 ninety to a hundred days from time of planting, sur- 

 passing tlie Yellow Canada and Flint varieties in 

 earliness, productiveness and quality. 



It is not a hard, flinty corn, but sweet and nutri- 

 tious, making excellent feed and the finest meal. The 

 ears are large and handsome, with deep large 

 grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. 

 Stalks grow to medium size (not large) with few 

 suckers, tapering gradually from root to top, produc- 

 ing two good ears to each stalk, husks and shells 

 easily. One hundred and thirty-six bushels 

 shelled com have been grown to the acre on good 

 corn ground. It is also adapted to a greater variety 

 of soils than other varieties, producing unusually 

 well on light or heavy land, where other varieties 

 would not thrive. Prices by mail, post-paid, pkt., 

 lOc; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. By freight or express, bags 

 included, qt., 15c.; peek, 60c.; bush., $1.75; bag of 2

FARMERS* F/IVORITE DENT. 



This is an improved variety of theCiolden Dent 

 Gourd Seed, which it resembles in some respects, 

 ripening earlier. The ears are of good size, with very 

 small cob and very large, deep grains, of a beautiful, 

 bright golden yellow color. The corn meal made from 

 this corn is very superior in quality and appearance. 

 It produces well even on light land, frequently yield- 

 ing from ninety to onehundred bushels shelled corn to 

 the acre. Lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75e., post-paid; qt., loc;

CLOUD'S E/IRLT YELLOW DENT. 



This corn was originated some years ago by Jas. 

 Cloud, .a prominent Chester County farmer. It has 

 taken first premiums wherever it has been exhibited. 

 It has a fine, rich appearance, weiglis well, starts 

 early and with a strong stalk as soon as it comes out 

 of the ground; grows vigorously, though the stalks 

 only range from seven to nine feet in height. It 

 withstands severe droughts to a remarkable degree.

 grained; sixty to seventy eais will yield a bushel of 

 shelled corn. Matures early, and very productive.
