JERUSALEM CORN. 



This corn comes from Palestine, and was brought to this 

 country by a missionary who gave 2 grains to a farmer in 

 Kansas; these 2 grains made 5 heads the first year, the grains 

 from which he planted the next season and got 5 bushels; 

 the following season he planted 8 acres a nd gathered 200 

 bushels. It matures and grows well in all portions of the 

 United States, and is especially valuable in dry countries and 

 seasons, surpassing Brown Dhoura, Kaffir Corn and Milo 

 Maize. Grows about 4 feet high, makes 1 large head on 

 main stalk, and several smaller heads on side shoots, and 

 as many as 8 heads have been counted on 1 stalk. The 

 grains are nearly flat and pure white. The finest thing 

 for chicken food ever introduced. It requires 3 pounds of 

 seed to plant an acre. Per large pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 

 3 lbs., 75 cts., postpaid. 



From Henry Clay Brooks, Superintendent of the 

 United States ^Experimental Grass and 

 Forage Station. 



Garden City, Kan., October 27. 



This is to certify that I raised a fair crop of ' ' Jerusalem 

 Com" on the unirrigated partof the United States Experi- 

 mental Farm the past season, which was the dryest season in 

 the past 15 years at this point. The record showing 10 inches 

 less rainfall this year than the average of the past 15 years. 



I had 90 acres in crop -with different varieties of forage 

 plants and the Jerusalem Com was the only kind that 

 did any good. I consider it good for both man and beast. 

 I have experimented with it in fattening a hog, and the 

 hog is in as fine condition as I ever saw one. I have also 

 used it in my family in the form of hominy, and it certainly 

 makes the best hominy that I ever ate.

Crimson Clover {Trifolhm Incarnaium). 



The accompanying illustration was drawn and en- 

 graved from a single plant of this popular clover. All who 

 have sown it have been well pleased, and have sown double 

 the amount planted the next season. There is no clover that 

 can be sown that is so valuable as a fertilizer. September is 

 the best time to sow ; it will germinate quickly, and by the 

 time winter sets in will make a thick green carpet, staying 

 green all winter, even though the ground may be frozen. 

 In the spring it makes rapid growth, and by May will stand 

 2 or 3 feet high and is in full bloom, ready "to tum under as 

 green manure. For ensilage it is grand and can be cured as 

 easily as the common red clover, being the earliest crop for 

 this purpose. Succeeds well on any kind of soil. Bears 

 a beautiful scarlet flower. Ten to 12 pounds are required to 

 the acre. Per lb., 20 cts.; 10 lbs., $1,75; 25 lbs. or over, 15 

 cts. per lb.; bush., 87.50, 



NEW BRAZILIAN FLOUR CORN 



Has given general satisfaction throughout the South ; it is 

 not suitable for planting north of Pennsylvania, except for 

 fodder. It grows rapidly, matures medium early, and pro- 

 duces ears 7 to 9 inches long, with small cob arid beautiful 

 white grain, which, when ground, yields a flour in every 

 respect equal to the best wheat. It should be cultivated the 

 same as other field corn, and grows from 8 to 10 feet high and 

 bears from 6 to 7 full ears on a stalk. A sa forage plant it is one 

 of the most valuable, either in a green or dry state. It will 

 make 5 times as much flour to the acre as wheat. Large sized 

 pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 2 

 quarts, 50 cts.; peck, 80 cts.; bush., S2.50, 



E. M. Talent, Burmingtown, N. C, Oct. 21, 1891, writes:— 

 I have ordered seeds from you for two years and found them 

 to be as good as recommended. The Hickory King Corn is 

 giving the best satisfaction of any corn. We have planted it 

 for 4 years.
