We call particular notice to our complete list of both sweet and field 
varieties, as we pay special atteation to this class of seed, and our stock 
is unsurpassed. 
Culture. — Plant in hills three feet apart each way, and five or six ker- 
nels in a hill. Hoe often, and draw soil up to the stems. Break off side

a greater yield from a ^^iven surface will be obtained.

POP CORN. 
Mapledale. — This is, without doubt, the most prolific pop com that has 
ever been introduced. The average ear measures over six inches, and tlie 
grains are almost a pure wiiitc in color. It pops a clear >vhite and of the 
finest quality. The originator of this variety has counted as many as 
nineteen ears to a stalk, and it ccrtainb' is at the head of the list of pop 
corns. W'e would advise all who desire a pop com of fine quality, as well 
as the most prolific, to try the Mapledale, and thev will be satisfied that 
it is all that we claim for it. Pkt. lOc, pt. 25c., qt. 45c. 
dueen's Golden. — A most valuablevaricty. Its beautiful appearance 
when popped easily distinguishes it. from other varieties. It pops per- 
fcctly white, and a'single kernel will expand to a diameter of one inch. 
The Ktalks grow nearly six feet high, and the ears, which are particularly 
large and fine, arc produced in great abundance. XI r. Queen, the origi- 
nator, says: It is so far ahead of all others that 1 have seen or tried as 
to be beyond comparison in every respect, in yield, in sturdy growth, in 
size and in color when popped, being of a delicate golden yeUow. Above 
all is its exceeding tenderness when popped, together with its delicious
