MINNESOTA GROWN. One of the best extra early yellow 
varieties in our entire list. It matures its crop in 80 
days, which is of special interest to the farmers of the North- 
west. The ears (borne two on a stalk) arc large, long, 12 to 
16 rowed. 'I'he kernels are extra long and the cob small. 
We recommend it for general planting, as its carliness, pro-

great essentials to all growers. Peck 75c., bushel $2.25.

and we consider it one of the most valuable sorts ever 
grown for the Northern states. While there are many

year out, produce as heavy a crop as this sort. Peck 7Sc., 
bushel $2.50.
