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., $1.50 ; 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 freight, peck, 60 cts.; bush., $1.75, 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. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 



This is the most valuable variety for sowing for sheep feed, 

 etc. The demand last season far exceeded the supply of 

 seed, as farmers are becoming aware of its merits and worth 

 and will use it more extensively. We will be able to fill all 

 orders this year, having a large supply of the genuine seed. 

 Per lb., 25 cts , postpaid. By express or freight, peck, $1.25 ; 

 bush., $4.50. 



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. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts.; 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 BEAMING 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 Giant White Flint Corn. 



This is the largest-eared and handsomest White Flint Corn 

 we have ever seen. The gigantic ears frequently reach 18 

 inches in length and are always well filled. It matures early, 

 and no other variety makes such fine ears for exhibition pur- 

 poses at State Fairs, etc. The ears are of perfect shape and 

 filled out to the extreme end of the cob. The cobs, like our 

 famous Hickory King Corn, are small. The ears are easily 

 shelled and the kernels are a most perfect type. Per large 

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

 peck, 60 cts.; bush., $1.75. Our supply of this new variety is 

 limited and we request early orders. 



100=Day Bristol Corn. 



This new variety originated in Bucks Co., Pa., and is 

 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 large 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 

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

 or freight, per peck, 55 cts.; bush., $1.75.
