EWING'S SELECTED ENSILAGE SEED CORNS 
It is evident that the variety has much to do with the profit resulting from the Siloing of Corn. We mean by tliat that the weight of crop per acre regulates 
the cost per ton of the Ensilage, so that the varieties that will produce the most tons per acre, and at the same tune are sure to be npe enougli for the Silo before frost 
comes, are the most profitable. Location and time of sowing has to be taken into account. If not sown t,ll well on n. June sow an early Flmt Corn, m most sec- 
tions of the Dominion. If sown middle of May, a taller and later sort would be most profitable. There are many vaneties of Dent Corn that, even m the Provmce 
of Quebec, are certain to come to the right stage of maturity for Siloing, and that will produce from a quarter to a third more than the Flint varieties , 
One very important point to be observed in sowing Corn is this, that the distance apart m rows or hills should be regulated by the height the variety naturally 
grows, and if 3 ft. or VA ft apart is the proper distance tor a tall growing sort like Red Cob, a H foot less would be equally right for. say, Sanford, Compton, Long- 
fellow. OT^most^of th^e Sugar^va^^^ it they receive their Corn eariy in spring, to spread it out and thus keep it in perfect condition till sowing time. 
DENT VARIETIES 
EARLY WISCONSIN WHITE DENT 
No. 7 
The stalks grow to an average height of 8 feet, and are thickly furnished with 
foliage close to the ground. The ears are large, with 16 to 20 rows of large, deep 
kernels, which are closely set on a small white cob. Bush. $2.50. 
WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT 
Is early, grows heavy, leafy stalks. Ears are as large as the average Dent 
Corn more numerous, and much fuller at the points. In a dry year, or on poor 
soil, none wUl yield better. 10 ft. Bush. $2.25. 
EARLY IMPROVED LEAMING 
A fine early Yellow Dent variety, ears of good size, cobs red and 
small, with large deep grains: a strong grower, and produces well 
on light and lieavy land where other varieties of Yellow Dent will 
not thrive. While not ripening in all sections, the ears arrive at a 
firm dough state at time for cutting and make fine ensilage. 
Bush. $2.25. 
EXTRA EARLY HURON — Is as early in maturing as the Flint 
varieties. 8 to 9 ft. Bush. $2.50. 
CHAMPION WHITE PEARL — Medium early, white, of branch- 
ing habit and profuse foliage, with numerous large sized ears.

CUBAN GIANT — Ten days earlier than Red Cob. and possesses the same rank 
luxuriance. We offer either yellow or white in this variety. 11 ft. Bush. 
We still continue 
to recommend Su- 
gar Corn for Ensil- 
age. There is no 
doubt but that it is 
more nutritious 
than either Dent or 
Flint varieties can 
possibly be. It cer- 
tainly is much 
better than either 
for feeding green ; 
cattle will not eat 
up clean the butts 
of any but Sweet 
Corn.
