Miflfie^Otfl fCinC Hal f Dent. A famous half dent 
iTLiuiicdULa flvuig. eorn> This was introduced a 
number of years ago and has steadily increased in favor 
Since its introduction, and we consider it one of the most val- 
uable sorts ever grown for the Northern states. While there 
ire many varieties that in good years will yield as much as 
Minnesota King, there are very few, we think, that will, year 
In and year out, produce as heavy a crop as this sort. The 
3ars are quite large, cobs small, kernels yellow, broad, long 
and set very closely on the cob. On account of its healthy 
and vigorous growth in its early stages of growth, it can 
sndure more drougth, heat and cold weather, and being ex- 
tremely early it is soon out of danger of frost. The stalks 
grow to a medium height, are firm and well rooted, with- 
standing the strongest winds. Lb. 25c, postpaid; pk. 50c, bu.
