 of our seed stocks, and we know them to be perfectly pure and their germinating properties unsurpassed. Our prices include 

 bags and delivery to any express or freight depot in Philadelphia. 



GENUINE HIWASSEE MAMMOTH. 



This valuable variety of com has the reputation of produc- 

 ing some of the largest and best crops of white Dent corn 

 grown. Both ear and grain are large, very similar to the 

 Chester County Mammoth in size, shape and growth, and is 

 sometimes catalogued as White Surprise and Parrish White. 

 It is a variety that is particularly valuable for the Southern, 

 Western and Middle States. We have the genuine stock. Per 

 pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, peck, 

 60 cts.; bush., $1.90; 4 bush, or more, Sl.75 per bush., bags 

 included. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. 



This is a variety of vigorous growth, attaining from 8 to 10 

 feet in height, nearly every stalk producing 2 fine ears, which 

 are large, of perfect shape, containing 16 rows and filling out 

 well to the end of the cob. It matures as early as most varie- 

 ties of Golden Dent, has a small cob, is easily shelled, and sur- 

 passes all others in size, appearance and productiveness. In 

 the State of Pennsylvania it has yielded over 150 bushels to 

 the acre. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts., postpaid. By express 

 or freight, peck, 60 cts.; bush., Si.50 ; 6 bush, or more, $1.35 per 

 bush., bags included. 



EARLY CANADA YELLOW. 



An 8-rowed, hard, flint variety requiring about 90 days 

 to mature. Used largely in the extreme North, and is well 

 adapted to sections where the season is short. Very largely 

 used for replanting. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts., postpaid. 

 By express or freight, peck, 60 cts.; bush., $1.90; 6 bush, or 

 more, $1.75 per bush., bags included. 



EARLY MASTODON DENT CORN. 



This new variety has the largest ear and largest grain of 

 any early Dent corn. It grows strong, rank, quick and makes 

 the finest shelled corn of all, being purely Dent of 2 shades of 

 white and yellow. Can be grown with equal success in all 

 sections. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts., postpaid. By express 

 or fireight, peck, 60 cts.; bush., $1.75, bags included. 



FARMERS' FAVORITE GOLDEN 

 DENT. 



The ears of this variety are of good size, with small red 

 cobs, and well filled out to the ends with large, deep grains, 

 of a beautiful, bright golden-yellow color. The stalks grow 

 from 8 to 10 feet high, taking a strong hold on the ground, 

 and for main crop it is one of the best standard sorts in culti- 

 vation, frequently yielding from 90 to 100 bushels of shelled 

 corn to the acre. It makes abundant fodder and produces 

 well, even on light land, where many other varieties will not 

 yield a good crop. It is early and prolific, and has given the 

 utmost satisfaction wherever grown. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 30 

 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, peck. 55 cts.; bush., $1.50; 

 6 bush, or more, $1.35 per bush., bags included. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. 



Better than field corn for green fodder, it being sweet and 

 nutritious, the cattle eating stalks and leaves with much 

 relish. Sow about bushels to the acre in rows 3 feet apart. 

 Per peck, 40 cts.; bush.. $1.50. 



BLUNT'S PROLIFIC. 



This variety of corn is principally used for soiling purposes. 

 It is an 8 to 10-rowed white flint, with short, well-shaped ears 

 and white cob. It matures early and the stalks are unusually 

 leafy, bearing from 4 to 6 ears each. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 

 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, peck, 50 cts.; bush., 

 $1.60 ; 6 bush, or more, $1.50 per bush., bags included. 



CHESTER COUNTY MAMMOTH 

 CORN. 



This variety of com yields, under good cultivation, from 

 100 to 150 bushels per acre of the very best quality of shelled 

 corn. The ears are large and well formed, grain very large, 

 deep and of a bright yellow color. It is one of the largest 

 yellow varieties of field corn in cultivation, growing 12 to 16 

 feet high, and taking a firm, strong hold in the ground, and 

 is highly recommended for stock. The quantity of grain pro- 

 duced on each ear, together with the comparative smallness 

 of the cob, make it one of the most desirable varieties grown. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts.-t lb., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 peck, 55 cts.; bush., $1.50; 6 bush, or over, $1.35 per bush., 

 bags included. 



THE LEAMING CORN. 



This is a particularly good variety of corn 

 for withstanding severe droughts, which 

 characteristic is owing to its earliness, strong 

 and vigorous growth, and its stocky and leafy 

 nature, as it enables it to stand up until ripe, 

 thus protecting the soil from dryness, caused 

 by the heat of the sun. The ears are of good 

 size; cob red and small, with a deep, large 

 grain of bright yellow. It is somewhat of a 

 Dent variety, and is a valuable sort to plant 

 when it is desired to remove it in time to seed 

 the ground for fall crops. If planted by the 

 first of June, it will generally ripen and be fit 

 to husk and crib early in September. Per pkt., 

 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; postpaid. By express or 

 freight, peck, 55 cts.; bush., $1.70; 6 bush, or 

 over, $1.50 -per bush., bags included. 



Learning Corn, 



NEW SELF-HUSKING FIELD CORN. 



This variety of field com is the earliest in cultivation, 

 ripening fully 10 days before the Early Canada. Its great 

 merit, however, lies in its most distinct feature (one possessed 

 by no other corn) of stripping itself clean of its husks, and 

 this peculiarity makes it of great value where large areas of 

 field com are grown. It is a flint variety, dwarf in habit, 

 with large ears, averaging 12 inches in length, while the cob is 

 small ; grain of an amber color ; husks open about half-way 

 down, which makes stripping very easy. It generally pro- 

 duces 3 ears to the stalk, and even under ordinary cultivation, 

 seldom confines itself to one. Per pkt, 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 20 cts.; peck, 60 cts.; 

 bush., $1,90.
