CHESTER COUNTY MAMMOTH 

 CORN. 



This variety of corn 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.

 peck, 50 cts.; bush., $1.40; 6 bush, or over, $1.25 per bush., 

 bags Included. 



THE LEAmNG 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, 50 cts. ; bush, $1 35; 6 bush or 

 over, $1.20 per bush, bags included. 



Learning Corn, 



COW PEAS--The Great Soil Improver. 



Makes poor land rich. Makes good land more productive. 

 Also makes a splendid and nutritious forage crop, 

 enriching the soil even when the crop is cut off. 



Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheapest 

 ways of improving the soil. For this purpose the Cow Pea 

 has no superior, especially for mediiim or light soil. Sow in 

 May or June, at the rate of one to one-and-a-half bushels to 

 the' acre, and plow under as soon as they attain their fiill 

 growth. Cow Peas are considered superior to clover as a 

 is,'Teen manuring crop. Perqt., 10 cts.; peck, 40 cts. ; bush,, 

 $1.40.

 to-day the earliest yellow dent corn in cultivation, be- 

 sides being the largest eared. The ears average twelve 

 inches long and are borne on stalks twelve to fourteen 

 feet in height. The cob is small compared with the size 

 of the ear ; the grain is >arge and broad, of a bright yel- 

 low. It will yield as much corn and make as much 

 fodder as the late varieties which require some four 

 weeks longer to ripen. This corn will please the farmer 

 who is seeking a large early variety and a good yielder
