Description in Detail 
Eclipse corn was originated in Bucks Co., Pa., and pushed 
its way to the front in tests beside Chester Co., Mammoth and 
other excellent varieties which require twenty to twenty-live days 
longer to ripen but which have never produced as much as the 
Eclipse. 
The Eclipse is a very large handsome co-n and well filled 
on the ear. The cob is small considering (lie size of the ear. 
Seventy pounds of corn in the ear have made sixty-one and 
three-fourths pounds of shelled corn. 
Eclipse Corn cannot be recommended too highly for Penn- 
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, 
hut in territory north of these states should he grown only in 
sheltered localities.
