SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENTS. 
O UR business extends from Upper Canada on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the South, and 
while our different varieties of Potatoes, Oats, Barley, etc. are equally as well adapted for grow- 
ing in one section as another, OUR CORN IS NOT. Varieties of corn which are perfectly 
adapted to growing in one section should not be sold and will not give satisfaction in another. We 
give the following general instructions as to 
What Corn You Should Sell: 
If the growing season in your locality has a period of 1 20 days without frost, sell the Carnival 
and Seneca. Both of them are unusually rank growers and hills should be four feet apart each way 
in order to obtain large and well-filled ears. 
The Monroe Eight Rowed Flint and Wisconsin Dent may be sold in any latitude where ordinary 
varieties of corn can be grown. 
Wherever the seasons will permit of the late maturing varieties being used, always get your custo- 
mers to order the late sorts. In nine cases out of ten you will find the longer a crop stands on 
the land before maturing the better the yield. This will apply equally as well in the case of potatoes, 
oats and other seeds. We want to give our customers the best of satisfaction and hope in selling corn 
you will follow closely the rules as given above. It is to your interest as well as to our own, for we 
want you to sell in seasons to come, on the same ground, with increased sales. 
WINTEB WHEAT AND BYE. 
In addition to our full line of Farm Seeds for Spring Delivery, described in the foregoing pages, 
we also handle Winter Wheat and Rye for Fall delivery, for which we issue separate catalogues, 
circulars, order blanks, etc., in other words what is known as our Wheat outfit, the orders being taken 
for delivery in August or September. 
We give a Few Reports from Our Wheat which have just come to Hand. 
$10.00 worth from one=half Bushel. 
The wheat I sold last fall is more than meeting expectations. Last week I offered one man $10 
for the standing crop from one-half bushel I sold him, and the chickens had eaten up at least a quarter 
of that, but he would not accept my offer. He said he wished he had bought enough to sow ten acres, 
and all the others who bought of you report about the same way. S. B. SHORE, Boone Co., Ind. 
The old Varieties are Full of Weevil, but no Weevil 
in the New Varieties. 
Enclosed find my report amounting to $56- 00 worth of wheat orders. I have seen ever) piece of 
wheat grown from the seed which I sold last year and I tell you I was much surprised to see such 
awful big heads. The farmers were more than pleased with it and say they wish they had bought 
more seed. Several of these orders are from parties who bought last year. ALL THE OLD \ AR- 
IETIES OF WHEAT ARE FULL OF WEEVIL, BUT THERE IS NO WEEVIL IN YOUR 
WHEAT. I saw Mr. A. Rogers, who bought a bushel last year, and asked him if he would have any 
to sell this year and he said ‘No Sir!’ and that he wished he had bought $10.00 worth instead of $ 5 - 0 °- 
Other farmers tell the same story. “Oh! such heads, they say, “as your wheat has and no 
Weevil in it.” J- ^UDD, Putman Co., Ohio.
