EARLY n/15TODON CORN . 



A new early Dent variety, originated in Ohio. The ear 

 is very large, and grain deep. It grow.s strong, rank quick, 

 and makes the flnest appearing shelled corn, being purely 

 Dent, of two shades of white and yellow. In the American 

 Agriculturist corn contest of 1889 it outyielded all others, 

 making the wonderful record of two hundred and thirteen 

 bushels slielled corn to the acre. Pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 Ib.s., 

 75c., post-paid. Qt-.l.'ic.; peck, 6.5e.; bush., $1.75; bag of 2 

 bush.,S3.25;.10 bush, and over, $1.50 per bush., bags included. 



QOLbEN PE/IUTY CORN. 



The Golden Beauty is a large and broad-grained yellow 

 corn. The ears of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen 

 straight rows of bright golden-yellow grains, filled out com- 

 pletely to the extreme en<l of the cob. The cob is verysmall 

 in comparison with the size of the ear, and when broken in 

 half the grains will reach across. The richness of color and 

 fine quality of grain make it vastly superiorfor grinding into 

 meal. The stalks take strong hold in the ground, grow vig- 

 orously to a height of eight to nine feet. Golden Beauty 

 matures in one hundred and ten days from planting. We 

 have many favorable reports from customers who planted 

 this corn, yielding in many cases at the rate of one hundred 

 and twenty-five bushels to the acre. Prices by mail, post- 

 paid, large pkt., 10c. ; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c. Bv freight or ex- 

 press, qt., 1.5c.; peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75 ; bag of 2 bush., $3.25; 

 10 busli. and over, $1.50 per bush. 



QHE5TER CSMNTT fl/innOTH. 



Wherever introduced has given universal satisfaction, 

 both on account of its large yields, fine quality of grain 

 an<l superior fodder. The ears are large and well formed, 

 grain very large, deep, and of a bright yellow color; the 

 stalk is large, averaging from ten to fourteen feet, producing 

 a larger quantity of fodder than any other yellow corn. Our 

 stock has been imjiroved each year by the most careful and 

 skilful .selection of the largest and earliest ears. By mail, 

 post-paid, pkt.,10cts.; lb.,30cts.; 3 lbs., 75 cts. By express 

 or freight, bags included, qt., 15c.; peek, 60c.; bush., $1.75 : 

 bag of 2 bush., f3.25; 10 bush, and over, $1.50 per bush. 



HICKSRY t KINQ t CORN. 



This is unquestionably the largest grained and small- 

 est cobbed pure white Dent corn in cultivation. The 



grain is so large and cob so small, that by breaking an earin 

 half, one grain Avill cover the entire end of the cob. 

 The ears glow seven to nine inches in length, are generally 

 borne three to a stalk. It ripens medium early, yet we 



do not recommend it as an entirely safe crop north of the 

 latitude of Pennsylvania. It is particularly adapted to and 

 will yield more on thin soil than any other White Field Corn. 

 By mail, pkt., lOc; lb. 30c.: 3 lbs., 75c. By express or freight, 

 qt., 20e.; peck, 75c.; bush., 82.00; bag of 2 bush., $3.75. 



RED CSP ENJIL/IQE CORN. 



This new and superior ensilage corn we can recommend, 

 from experience, as being the heaviest cropjjing variety in 

 cultivation, producing fifty to seventy-five tons per acre. It 

 has been thoroughly tested in all dairy sections of the country 

 with the best results. It is a pure white Dent corn of large 

 size and handsome appearance, growing on a red cob. The 

 fodder is sweet, tender, juicy, and said to contain more 

 nourishment than any other variety. It grows thirteen to 

 fourteen feet in height, taking strong hold in the ground, 

 standing up well and resisting storms of all kinds to a 

 remarkable degree. Peck, 50c.; bush., $1..50; 10 bush, and 

 over, $1.40 per bush. 



BLUNT'S WHITE PROLIFIC, or MAMMOTH EN- 

 SILAGE CORN. Produces three to eight good ears to a 

 stalk. It is also much used for ensilage, and has been known 

 to produce seventy tons of fodder to the acre. Peck, 50c. ; 

 bush., $1.50; 10 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush. 



LONGFELLOW'S AND EARLY YELLOW CAN- 

 ADA. These well-known eight-rowed yellow flint varieties 

 ripen very early, and are well adapted to the North and for 

 late replanting. Qt., 20c.; peck. 65c.; bush., $2.00. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. Profitable 

 as green feed for milch cows, being sweeter and more nutri- 

 tious an<l eaten more readily than fodder from Field Corn. 

 Bush., $1.50 ; 5 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush. 



nAnnoTii Russian smnflswer. 



THE GIANT OF ALL SUNFLOWERS. Growing to 

 double the size of the common sunflower, and the yield of 

 seed is twice as great. One hundred and twenty-five 

 bushels to the acre have been grown at a less expense than 

 corn. It is highly recommended for poultry ; the best egg- 

 producing food known. The leaves make splendid fodder, 

 much relished by all kinds of stock. The seed is good feed 

 for horses, and yields a fine quality of oil. The strong, thick 

 stalks are used for fuel. Oz., 5c.; qt., 20c.; (qt., pofet-paid, 3.5c.;) 

 peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50; sack, 2 bush., $4.00.

BEST AND PUREST 



#Broom Corn 



IN CULTIVATION. 



This is the best and 

 purest in cultivation, 

 originated and select- 

 ed by Mr. Geo. Weber, 

 one of the la#geat 

 growers of Montgom- 

 ery County, Pa., who 

 has for many years 

 had the reputation of 

 having the best in the 

 State, having made 

 his stock famous by 

 selection and improve- 

 ment for length, 

 strength and straight- 

 ness of brush. It is of a 

 very bright green col- 

 or without the slights 

 est reddish tinge. It 

 makes by far the best 

 brooms of any other 

 grown ; height seven 

 to eight feet. Qt., 30o.; 

 peck, $1.00; bush., 

 $3.00; 2 bush,, $5.50. 



Dwarf Evergreen 

 Broom Corn. Grows 



three to four feet high, straight, 



smooth brush. Qt., 20c.; peck, 80c.; 



bush., $2.25. 

 MANSHURY BARLEY. The 



earliest and most productive. Qt., 



20e.; peck, 60c.; bush., $2,00. 

 SPRING BARLEY. Qt., 15c.; 



peck, 50 cts.; bush., 48 lbs., $1.50. 

 Spring Tares, or Vetches. Qt., 



•30c.; bush., $3.50. 



SPRING RYE. 



Distinct from the winter rye, grain of finer quality and 

 more productive ; can be successfully grown in any latitude. 

 Lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, post-paid ; peck, 6.5c.; bush., $2.00. 



SPRING WHEAT. 



FRENCH IMPERIAL. This wheat has proven itself 

 a most desirable variety. It possesses the quality of filling 

 out plump, hard, extra No. 1 wheat, weighing sixty-two to 

 sixty-four poundsper measured bushel. It is well adapted 

 to rather poor soils, producing good crops of No. 1 hard 

 wheat. The w^heat is vigorous and strong in its growth and 

 yielded the past season from forty to fifty bushels per acre. 

 By mail, pkt., lOc; lb., 33 cts.; 3 lbs., $1.00. By express or 

 freight, peck, 80c. ; bush., $2.75. 



SASKATCHEWAN FIFE. This wheat comes origi- 

 nally from Manitoba, and is pronounced by the great milling 

 kings of the Northwest the best. It frequently weighs sixty- 

 five pounds to the bushel, and it Is said fifty bushels to the 

 acre is not an uncommon yield. It is ten days earlier than 

 the common fife, straw growing abouta foot taller, standing 

 stiff and strong; highly recommended. Pkt., lOc; lb., 3oe.; 

 3 lbs., $1.00, post-paid. Peek, 80c.; bush., $2.75. 



SEED BUCKWHEAT. 



NEW JAPANESE. In 1883 a gentleman travelling in 

 Japan sent to a friend in New Jersey about a thimbleful of 

 this new variety. It was carefully planted and enough seed 

 raised to sow one-half bushel in 1886, from which the crop 

 was forty bushels. A few bushels of this were given out for 

 trial among neighboring farmers who were delighted \vith 

 the enormous yields it produced. Sown at the same time 

 with Silver-Hull it proved two weeks earlier and yielded 

 twice as great. The kernels are twice the size of any other 

 buckwheat; of a rich dark brown color and manufacture a 

 superior flour. Owing to its branching character only one- 

 half as much seed is required per acre, while the straw is 

 much stiffer and stands up better. This new buckwheat is 

 rapidly displacing all others. Pkt., lOc: lb.. .30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., 

 post-paid; qt., 20c.; peck, 60e.; bush., $1..50; 5 bush; and over, 

 $1.40 per bush., sacks included. 



SILVER HULL. Sown at the same time as the common 

 buckwheat, this variety continues in bloom longer, matures 

 earlier, and yields nearly double. The flour produced from 

 it is whiter and more nutritious. Lb., post-paid, 25c.; qt., 20c.; 

 peck, 50c.; bush.. $1..50. 



COMMON BUCKWHEAT. Qt., 15e.: bush., $1.25. 



OSAGE ORANGE. Lb., 50c.; peck, $2.00; bush, of 33 

 lbs. , $7.00. 



FLAX SEED. Qt., 15c.; bush., 56 lbs., about $2.50. 



SOJA HISPIDA (Soja Bean). Grown largely for for- 

 age crops and valuable for green manuring. Pkt., 10c. ; lb., 

 50c., post-paid; peck, $1.25; bush., $4.00.
