PEABODY’S PROLIFIC CORN. 
'■j'' HE Subscriber is now prcpr’r'^d to furjiish SEED of this invaluable varu.ty of grain. I will put it up in sack ; <.f one bushel, h;ilf 
X bushel, peck, and quart, and furnisli it at the following rates : For sacks of oik' bushel $11), h.alf bushel So, 'peek or (piart 50 
cents. This Coni grows like the 'Wyandot, but is altogether superior for Southern culture, both as a stock corn and for bread, weighing- 
near as much again as the Wyandot, each seed iiroducing from two to seven tillers, each tiller producing cars like the main .stalk, one 
grain often producing twenty ears of com. The ears are full and large, with a heavy tirm grain, weighing, when shelled, over sixty 
pounds to the bushel. It is a first rate stock corn, and nnrivalled for bread, as it makes a meal. -is white as hour. The seed that Inow 
offer is perfectly pure, as I old not jilant a gi-ain of aiiy other corn the past .season. Eand-s that will produce forty to fifty bushels of 
our common com to the acre, will produce one huudrc(l and fifty of this, kly land is common pine land, m-ver having produced over 
fifteen bushels to the acre, with the host culture that 1 could give it. The past season, I manured a few acres with a single sack of 
guano to the acre. I have gathei-ed and mea.siired two acres, and notwithstanding ihe drouth has cut off’ at least oiuj-fourth of the crop, 
The two acres turned mo out onehundred and cighvj hicshels nf shelled corn. This is the second year that I have planted this com, and 
it not only holds out its astonishing productive qualities, hut has increased in weight. Did it not produce a grain of corn, it is worth 
its price for the immense amount of fodder that it prodiices. A field of it growing looks like a field of m.-rimnoth wheat, so many tillers 
it produces. The tillers or suckers should not be removed, as they produce like the main stalk. One bTishcl o: seed will go as far as 
two of the common cont in planting-, as it irnpiires a greater distance.

THE PE.-VEOi)\^ CORN. 
At the solicitation of Mr. C. A. Peabody, the undersigned accepted an inriUtion to visit his farm about the middle of July, when tiny 
were shown this extraort'dnary and very remarkable con-i. 
Its singular peculiarity consi.sts in throw ing out fruitful tillers, or suckers — all emanating from the roots, as is natural to rye or 
1 wheat. L[)on two acres, said to have beeu mauiu-ed with 118 and 15ff pounds of guano, , it was not uncommon to see, from one grain 
■ planted, as many as fo’ar and sometimes five stalks, besides the parent one, the greater proportion containing three. Those tillers w(ire 
! in size and height nearly equal to the. original .stalk ; on each of which we observed from two to four ear- >-i' (licibum, or respectable 
size, and all rapidly progressing to maturity. For some days previous, and after the period of our visit, the ct..i:i;ry was suffering under 
I the influence of a severe di-onth. 
The crop consisted of about forty acres, planted in rows five by fi>ur feet, one grain in a hill. AVith the c::. epf ion of the two acre.s 
j above alluded to, no manure had been applied the present year, as informed by Mr. Peabody. The unmanm-i-d p-art did not promise so 
1 -well, yet it was far superior to any we had ever seen on the same character of land. 
1 The entire fann is pine land, naturally thin, and without the aid of some fertilizer, would not n ’.-.ice over ten or twelve, bushels 
I of the ordinary variety cf corn, with propitious seasons. 
Should this corn not deteriorate in after culture, from its being a Northern variety, it must prove, a valuable acquisition to the farm - 
er and country. 
AVe submit this article a.s llie mc.ans of .suspending puhiie sen^^iment until its inerifs or demerits (-an be more fulh’ tested and known.

PURB SEED ! ! i 
T he .subscribers take great pleasure iu informing the Planters, 
Farmers and Gardeners of the South, that they have secured 
from the most reliable .sources a limited supply ef FRESH SEED, 
of thi.s very valuable plant, the properties of which may he briefly 
summed up as follows ; 
Lst. One acre of the stalks, properly cultivated, will 360] d from 
400 to 500 gallons of fine sv-rup, Ci'iual to the best Neiv Orleans ; and 
from the same roots, a second crop of excellent fodder. 
2d. Sown broadcast or in close drills, on land deeply plowed 
and highly manured, it will yield /roai thirty to jijly thousand 
pounds of superior fodder to tlic acre. 
3d. It surpasses all other plants for .soiling (feeding green) .-;r.d 
fodder, on account of the great abundance of sugar\- juice winch 
it contains ; and is greedily (iaten by .stock of all kincls. 
4th. It bears repeated cuttings, like Egyptian Millet, growing 
off freely and rapidl3-, after each cutting. 
5th. It stands (h'onth much better than common corn, retaining 
its green color and juiciness even after the seed mafttres- 
6th. The st;ed is excellent for human fjod, when ground into 
meal, and fattens domestic animals ver3' sjieedily. From twenty- 
five to seventy-five bushels can be raised on an acre. 
7th. It is so certain and iirolific a crop that planteivs may be sure 
of succeeding with it as a 8ugar plant anywhere South of Mar3-- 
land and North of Alexieo. If planted early in the Southern States 
the s^d will mature and jn-oduce another crop the same season. 
^3^ The seed, which has been vciy carefully kept fuire, from 
tlie original importation, will be oflWed in cloth pack.ago.s, eai-h 
containing enough to jilant half an acre, in drills, with full 
direction for the cultivation, wliich is perfectly siniide.
