The originator says: "I have, during the past ten years, been breeding up towards a high ideal, a 

 main crop superior yellow dent corn, suitable for general and extensive culture in the corn states. I 

 have never seen a variety that combines so many desirable qualities. In fact it is what they call an 

 "all-rounder." Good in every point. It stands alone in my estimation, as the best general crop yellow 

 dent corn for all localities south of the latitude of the northern boundary of Illinois. It is a uniformly 

 large yielder, 80 to 100 bus. per acre over large fields being common occuiTences. When planted early, 

 matures in 100 daj's. Truly a most valuable feature. It makes a rapid, strong, healthy spring growth. 

 A short, thick, strong jointed stalk, with a profuse growth of air roots which hold it firm against 

 storms. A VERY profuse growth of pollen and silk, producing very long, heavy, well-filled ears, and con- 

 tains sixteen very straight compact rows of rich golden colored, starchy, oily grain. It has a very 

 small red cob. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., by freight, pk. 40 cts., bu. $1.40, 2 bu. $2,60.
