Abundance Corn. 
The most productive, large eared, yellow dent 
variety ever introduced. The greatest corn 
for the North, South. East and West ever placed upon the market. 
ITS GROWTH is wonderfully strong and vigorous, the roots penetrating 
the soil a great distance, rendering it almost drought proof. The stalks 
grow 7 to 8 feet high and are well set with ears 3H to 4 feet from the 
ground. 
iTS PRODUCTIVENESS is the marvel of all who have grown it. Where 
other varieties have 1 to 2 ears to the stalk, Abundance has 2 to 3, only I 
ear to the stalk being a very rare occurence. The ears are just the right 
size — 10 to 12 Inches long, and are well filled to the tip with from 14 to 18 
rows of very long, rich, golden yellow kernels. The yield is invariably 
very large, 200 bushels of shelled corn being no uncommon crop. 
ITS APPEARANCE Ls all that can be desired in any com. The color is 
most attractive, the cob small, the kernels long, 70 pounds in the ear 
invariably making 64 pounds of shelled corn. 
IT MATURES in from 90 to 95 days from planting, rendering it earjy 
enough for all corn sections. Even in the extreme North, if planted in 
May, it will mature before September 1st. It is the best corn for all sec- 
tions that we have ever offered, and know pur farmer friends will thank 
us for recommending it to them. Lb 25c, postpaid: pk. 50c, bu. $1.75, 
bag (2H bu.) $4.00. 
MoTrfiol/l T7Qfltacf A new Drought Proof, White Dent Corn. Thh> 
lUdyjlClU i:*d.l Ileal, excellent variety, introduced for the first time 
last season, possesses so many good points that we unhesitatingly pronounce it 
the best White Dent variety in existence. The plant is strong, deep rooted 
and stocky, enabling it to withstand drought in a remarkable manner. The 
corn matures 80 days from planting. This renders it invaluable to the farmers 
of the Northwest. It Ls a heavy yielding variety, nearly all stalks bearing two 
ears, some three, and but very few less than two. The kernels are very deep, 
the cob very small. It will yield more shelled corn per acre than any variety 
we have ever grown. The kernels are plump, hard and well matured clear to 
the tip of the ear. It make^i most excellent flour, being pearly white, fine 
grained and of excellent flavor. The ears are of medium length, with from 14 
to 10 closely set rows of kernels. It is the Earliest, Hardiest, Most Productive. 
Most Beautiful, High Bred, Pure White Dent Corn ever introduced, and will 
prove of inestimable value to the farmers of the Northwest. With this famous 
variety, corn raisinf? in Nortii Dakota and Northern Minnesota is an assured 
fact, and Wheat which has been King for so many years in these sections, flnds- 
a worthy rival in' Corn. Witli the introduction of corn there follows stock rais- 
ing and diversified farming, making the great northwest not only the granaiy 
but the best meat producing centre of the whole country. Lb. 25c, postpaid; 
pk. 50c, bu. $1.75, bag (2K bu.) $4,00, by express or freight.
