COR]N==VEL.UOW DENT. 
The Great White Cap Yellow Dent. *,?°^2n*^;c?ionr' h>t?rXc« 
eral years ago by one of the leading; corn growers of Ameritra, who \vrites as follows regarding this va- 
riety : "It coinbine,s more -wild merit than any corn ever introduced, l)eing sxiitable for all climates and 
soils, and yet grows large size, maturing quite early. The ears grow as large as the well known Leam- 
and it is from seven to ten days earlier, and on thin, poor sous will yield 30 per cent more corn than 
^: it variety, its great merit lies In the tact that it is as natural a yielder as weeds, grows 
- ong, rank and thick and will produce more good corn on poor soils than any variety now in 
^ .iltivation." Grown in a six;tion with over 60 other varieties it out yielded all other kinds and with- 
st Mxl the drouth where all other sorts failed. None of it was fired and no dead ta,s,sels could be seen, while 
o7, Leaming, Huron and Golden Beauty, and some other early sorts, dead ta.ssels could be found, cau.sed 
b.v the hot burning sun. White Cap Yellow Dent will be appreciated by those living in drouth 
"•''"ItrMtir"'"*- and by farmers who have poor, thin soil oh their farms. The tip ends of the 
■te and the in.side yellow, making a most beautiful corn. Lb. 25o, pk. 50c, bu. SI.SO.

color, heavy yield and medium early, that's what the Great Western Corn is. It ripened the past 
season in from 95 to 100 days, so that you can readily sei^ that it is the corn for nearly every section of 
America, except the extreme North, where only the Dakota Queen Dent Corn can be g^o^vn with safety...^ 
Too much cannot be said in favor of this variety for such statis as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and m- 
fact all but the northern tier of states along the Oanadian line. Lb. 35c, 3 lbs. $1.00, pk. 50c, bu.

Bonanza White Dent Corn. 
The heaviest yielding White Dent Corn in the 
world. A variety that is unequaled for growing 
in the middle and southern parts of the U. S. Will yield heavily on all kinds of soils, and never 
known to fail, even in the worst years. The grains are of an enormous .size, broad, quite deep, and 
the cob is so small that the kernels will completely cover the cob when the ffar is broken in halfi The 
stalks bear from two to three large ears, and it ha.s never l>w^n known to have barren .stallts, no matter 
how thin the soil may l>e. All ears are well filled out to the extreme end. It shells and shucks quite 
easily, and in sections where it can be properly grown will give more shelled corn to a given 
amount of ears than any other sort in our entire list. Of course tliis variety is not to be claased 
with our famous Early Mastadon, as it cannot be grown in the North, a.s may be clone with that variety, 
but for the Soutli is without doubt the most productive Field Corn that can be .secured. ITie stock 
which we offer has been carefully saved and selected, and we cannot too highly recommend it to our 
patrons. It usually takes about 15 weeks for this corn to mature. Lb. 35c, pk. 50c, bu. $1.50.

THE NORTHERN STATES. RIPENS IN ABOUT 85 DAYS FROM PLANTING. It is, beyond a 
doubt, the earliest Dent Corn ever introduced, and is tlie most valualjlc luldition to the list of corn 
in many yoai-s. It is far ahead of Pride of the North, King of the Earlie.st, Early Butler, and in fact 
all the Dent varieties in earliness. This new corn can l>e grown in the extreme Northern states where 
heretofore only the Flint com ha-s been raised. It Ls of a bright yellow color, small ear and cob, with a 
very long, deep grain. Lb. 25c, pk. 50c, bu. $1.50, bag bu.) $3.50.

.superior to most sorts, and it is therefore very desiral)le for grinding into meal. Usually requires about 110 
days from planting to mature, and we heartily nwommend it for all sections where the seasons are long 
enough to enable it to be properly grown. Although the kernels are firmly set on the ear, they are ea.si- 
ly shelled, and we consider it about as perfect a type of dent corn as can be secured. Lb. 25c. ok.
