HICKORY KING CORN. We are headquarters for this 

 remarkable corn, having first introduced it in 1886. 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 will 

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

 or freight, peck, 50 cts.; bush., $1.50. 



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. 

 Per large pkt., 10 

 cts.; lb., 30 cts., 



postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 30 cts.; peck, $1.25. 



WHITE KAFFIR CORN. The plants of this variety 

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

 heads are well filled with white grain which makes excellent 

 flour. The seed heads grow from 10 to 12 inches in length 

 and the product of grain will average 60 bushels to the acre.

The illustration 

 shows our Im- 

 proved Dibble and 

 is designed for set- 

 ting out cabbage, celery, tomato and similar plants. 

 It is invaluable to every private gardener, florist, 

 and nurseryman. The low price brings it within 

 the reach of all, and we claim for it superiority of 

 design and finish over similar tools now on the 

 market. It is of convenient shape, neat and attrac- 

 tive in appearance and made from best hard metals.

NEW JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. The kernels are 

 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, 850 ripe 

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

 well as far North as New Hampshire. Per pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 25 

 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, quart, 15 cts.; peck, 40 

 cts.; bush., $1.20; 5 bush, or over, at $1.10 per bush,

WISCONSIN PROLIFIC POP-CORN. 



This fine new prolific variety we obtained from one of the 

 largest growers in Wisconsin, who makes pop-corn growing a 

 specialty. The engraving we had made from nature, cor- 

 rectly shows the fine appearance. The ears are of most per- 

 fect shape, regular and handsome. It is, without question, 

 the most prolific variety grown, out-yielding all known sorts. 

 It far surpasses the old Rice variety, of which it is an improved 

 strain. The stalks attain a height of nearly 6 feet, bearing 

 on an average 6 ears of large size, which are well filled out to 

 the ends ; grain white and clear. Average size of ear, 6 inches. 

 Its popping qualities cannot be surpassed, popping white and 

 large and of the finest quality. Per large pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 40 

 cts., postpaid. Three ears, 25 cts., postpaid.

 heavv. It ripens early and has been known to yield 66 bushels 

 per acre, weighing over 50 pounds to the measured bushel.

 is without doubt the most prolific and reliable standard 

 variety in cultivation. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; lb., 30 cts.; postpaid.
