mCKOKY KING CORN. We are headquarters for this 

 remarkable corn, having first introduced it ;n 18S6. It is 

 entirely distinct from all other varieties, having the largest 

 grain, with the smallest cob ever introduced in a White Corn. 

 The stalks bear 2 good sized ears each, and occasionally 3, 

 are never barren, no matter how thin the soil, and both ends 

 of the ear are filled full out. A single grain, as in the 

 illustration, will completely cover the cob section of an ear 

 broken in half. It both shells and shucks easily, and 'vvill 

 make more shelled corn to a given bulk of ears" than any 

 other variety. Buy your supply from us and obtain the 

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

 or freight, peck, 50 cts.; bush., $1.25. 



NEW RED KAFFIR CORN. 

 A new Variety of Sorghum, Cultivated for both Forage 

 and Grain. 



This new vari- 

 ety, now ofFered 

 for the first time, 

 is a valuable sort. 

 It grows taller 

 than the White 

 and ripens earlier, 

 the stalks are 

 more slender and 

 very juicy and 

 leafy ; the long 

 narrow heads 

 grow erect and are 

 very compact. 

 The seed is red, 

 smaller than the 

 White and is more 

 hard and brittle. 

 It is one of the 

 best drouth re- 

 sisters among all 

 the new saccha- 

 rine sorghums, 

 and does finely on 

 poor land and 

 yields well. The 

 whole stalks and 

 blades of this 

 plant cure into 

 excellent fodder 

 and are available 

 in all stages of 

 growth for green 

 feed, stock being 

 very fond of it.

 are low, stocky and perfectly erect, foliage broad. The long

 twice the size of any other variety, and their shape is peculiar 

 and distinct ; likewise their color, which is a dark shade of 

 brown. The straw is heavier, it branches more and does not 

 need to be sown as thickly as the other varieties. It ripens a 

 week earlier than the Silverhull and yields 2 or 3 times as 

 much. Some idea of its enormous productiveness may be 

 obtained when we state that from 1 grain planted, SSOripe 

 kernels were obtained. It makes the best of flour. Succeeds
