Peach Blossom Mammoth. 



This valuable new and distinct variety of 

 field corn, which is now offered for sale for the 

 first time, is a cross between the celebrated 

 Chester County iVIammoth and Ohio Red, 

 brought to its present standard by careful selec- 

 tion made by Mr. Wm. Peck, who with a few 

 of his neighbors, residing in the great com 

 growing district of Chester County, Pa., will 

 grow no other sort, owing to its many superior 

 qualities over all other varieties of field corn. 

 It is without doubt the most productive corn in 

 cultivation, as from our own experience with it, 

 on our Chester County farm, as well as that 

 of the farmers who are now growing it, it is 

 indeed a rare and unfavorable season when it 

 does not yield over one hundred bushels to the 

 acre. It grows vigorously to a height often to 

 twelve feet, withstanding drought better than 

 any other corn known, ripens in good season, 

 but not early, hence we do not recommend it 

 for latitudes north of Central Pennsylvania. As 

 will be seen from the photograph above of an 

 average ear broken in half, the cob is very small 

 for so large an ear, grain very deep and broad, of 

 a beautiful golden color, handsomely tinted, and 

 striped on the outside with light pink, hence 

 the name given it by the originator, "Peach 

 Blossom." Fifty-five to sixty ears will shell a 

 bushel. It is softer, even when ground on the 

 cob, sweeter and more nutritious for feeding 

 than other sorts, making the finest meal. If 

 you want to grow one of the best field corns in 

 this country try Peach Blossom. Prices for
