field corn and always give satisfaction. 



Mexican June. This latest addition to 

 our large and selected list of field corn, best 

 adapted for the South, has been thoroughly 

 tested in the past and has proven all that was 

 claimed for it. It is the best late corn yet 

 introduced. It is a strong, robust grower, 

 sending the roots deep into the soil. Stands 

 heat and drouth well. Ears large, small grain 

 and well covered with shucks. We recom- 

 mend same highly. Should be planted in 

 succession froai middle of A.pril to end of 

 August. 



Pop Corn. Is one of the smallest varieties 

 of kernel or seeds, cultivated same as field or 

 garden corn, but drilled instead of in hills. 

 Very extensively used, for pop corn candy. 

 We are handling the best two varieties known, 

 the Rice and the Pearl for seed purposes or 

 candy manufacturing. 



Blunt's Prolific Field. This is a very 

 excellent variety, either for field or for the 

 table. It is very prolific, producing from 

 four to six ears of corn. They are medium 

 size, but well filled and heavy. It is second 

 early. We recommend it as an early yielding 

 corn for field culture. 



Improved Learning. An extra early field 

 variety. It is not hard and flinty, but sweet 

 and nutritious, making excellent feed and 

 fine meal. The ears are large and handsome, 

 with deep large grains, deep orange color and 

 small red cob. It is very productive. The 

 shucks cover the ear better than any North- 

 ern or Western variety we have ever tried. 

 It is adapted to any variety of soils, and 

 produces well on heavy or light soil; it has 

 shown itself as very reliable. 



Golden Beauty. This is the handsomest 

 of all yellow corn; the ears are of a perfect 

 shape, long, and filled out to the end of the 

 cob. The grains are not of a flinty type, 

 neither are they so soft as to be greatly 

 shriveled, as in the Golden Dent. Golden 

 Beauty matures early, ripening in eighty 

 days from planting, and surpasses all in size 

 and beauty of grain. 



Champion White Pearl. 



White Rockdale Corn. 



Champion White Pearl. This is a very 

 handsome white corn. The grain is pure 

 white, exceedingly heavy and long, two of 

 which will span the cob, which is small. 

 Being medium in size of stalk it can be 

 planted much thicker than a large corn, and 

 at the same time bear a full sized ear. The 

 originator has established in Champion White 



Plant Bermuda Grass for a Summer Lawn from March to June.
