ABUNDANCE CORN. 



ABUNDANCE CORN. 



The most productive, large eared, yellow dent variety ever introduced . 



We piFered this variety as a noTclty last year believing that it possessed 

 unusual merits. The past season's experience proves that we were not 

 mistaken, for reports from all sections of the country indicate that it is 

 the greatest corn for the North, South, l^ast and West ever placed upon 

 the market. 



ITS GROWTH is wonderfully strong and vigorous, the roots penetrat- 

 ing the soil a great distance, rendering it almost drottght proof. The 

 stalks grow 7 to S feet high and are well set with ears SYn to 4 feet from 

 the ground, 



ITS PRODUCTIVENESS is the marvel of all who have grown it. Where 

 other varieties have 1 to 2 ears to the stalk, Abundance has 2 to 3, only 

 1 ear to the stalk being a very rare occurence. The ears are just the 

 right size — 10 to 12 inches long, and are well filled to the tip with frpra 

 l-fc to IS rows of very long, rich, golden yellow kernels. The yield is in- 

 variably very large, 200 bushels of shelled corn being no uncommon crop. 

 ITS APPEARANCE is all that can be desired in any com. The color is 

 most attractive, the cob small, the kernels long, 70 pounds in the ear in- 

 variably making 64' pounds of shelled corn, 



IT MATURES in from 90 to 95 days from planting, rendering it early 

 enough for all corn sections. Even in the extreme North, if planted in 

 May, it will mature before September 1st. It is the best corn for all sec- 

 tions that we have ever offered, and we know our farmer friends will 

 thank us for recommending it to them. Lb. 25c, postpaid: Pk Soc, Bu.

 Scotland, for many years, where yields of 150 bushels per acre are 

 not uncommon. The berry is of largest size, full and phtmp, pure

 seems to be well fitted for all soils, seasons andcondition*. Measured

 WUl II, OUlCClUp. i„g^ extra early, j^ellow variety in 

 our entire list. It matures its crop in 80 days, which is of special 

 interest to the farmers of the Northwest. The ears (borne two to a 

 stalk) are large, long, 14 to 20 rowed. The kernels are extra long, 

 the cob small. The quality of flour ground from this variety is very 

 choice. We recommend it for general planting, as its earliness, pro- 

 ductiveness (150 bushels to the acre) and quality are the three great 

 essentials to all growers. Lb. 2sc, postpaid; Pk, 50c, Bh. ,$i 75, Bag

Netted Gem Potato. ^^^J^^^^. 



ago, quickly jumped into popular favor, and is by far the best vari- 

 ety in existence tod av. 



IT IS WONDERFULLY PROLIFIC. Prom II4 acres planted in ordi- 

 nary good potato soil without fertilizers or any but ordinary culti- 



vation we harvested 552 bushels of good size potatoes. 



IT WITHSTANDS DROUGHT in a remarkable manner. The above mentioned 

 yield was produced in 1901, one of the hottest and driest on record, when 

 for 7 weeks not a drop of rain fell and the theraometer ranged from 95 t© 

 105 degrees in the shade for 10 or 12 days at a time. 

 ITS QUALITY is unsurpassed. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," 

 and the supreme test of any potato is in its cooking and eating qualities. 

 The Netted Gem at all stages of growth and development cooks light and 

 mealy and is of a most delicious flavor. 



ITS KEEPING QUALITIES are unequaled It remains firm and hard at all 

 times. Tubers of this variety cellared in October were in as firm a condi- 

 tion the following June as when dug in the fall. 



ITS APPEARANCE is most striking and beautiful In shape it is oblong, 5 

 to 8 inches in length, nearly straight, well set with eyes all over, rnaking it 

 the most prolific seed variety ever offered. The skin is of most ciirieus form- 

 ation for a potato, being very closely netted and veined like the Rocky Ford 

 melon, It is rather thick, enabling it to withstand shipping well as it will 

 reach destination in prime cor dition and appearance. It is of light russet 

 color, very pleasing and beautitiil. Prices foi' 1004: Lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, post-

CRIMSON GIANT RADISH. 



CRIMSON GIANT RAD15H, 



This new variety, in- 

 troduced by a leading 

 German grower, differs radically from all other existing sorts. Its roots 

 attain more than double the size of those of other globe varieties, without 

 becoming pithy or hollow. Such good varieties as Non Plus Ultra and 

 Scarlet Globe measure 2 to 3 inches in circumference and weigh 34 oz.; once 

 past that size they are unfit for use. This new Giant however develops 

 roots 6 to 7 inches around, weighing over an ounce, their pure white flesh 

 remaining firm, crisp and of mildest flavor. The roots are almost perfect 

 globes, of a deep crimson color, and readily outsell all other varieties in the 

 early market. It is excellent for forcing and second to none in earliness.
