BUCHANAN’S BIG BLUE GRAIN MEXICAN JUNE 
1134—Mexican June (Original) was handed down by the American 
Indian—it is very much like Squaw or Indian Corn grown by 
Mexicans, Indians and those farmers of the very dry farming lands 
of our Southwest. Thirty-six years ago, when I began selling this 
(original) Mexican June, I spoke and wrote of it as the last excuse 
for corn, it would make some corn planted in July, followed by 
severe drouth, when all other corns would fail. Realizing that this 
was a very unprofitable crop for the Middle South, I began about 
15 years ago to improve this variety by crossing it with Tennessee 
Champion White Dent, in an endeavor to retain the drouth- 
resisting qualities of the original Mexican June and producing the 
larger ear of the White Dent. 
During 1933 we could not supply the demand for this corn, and 
I want everyone who can supply seed for 1934 crop from corn 
bought of us, to write; in selecting your seed, try and select all 
ears 7 to 9 inches long containing blue grains, also those ears 
containing all blue grains. 
This corn has proved its worth for planting after June 1st up to 
July 15th. In 1933 some planted up to August 15th for late roasting 
ears, which it makes in 65 days. Our average killing frost date 
at Memphis is November 4th (U. S. Weather Bureau report). 
Ears 8 to 9 inches long, grains short to medium, cobs medium in 
size, and while usually white, red cobs are often found. Ears have 
mostly white grains, but dark blue and red grains often appear, 
sometimes only one to three to the ear. This apparent mixture of 
color is peculiar to many varieties of Mexican corn. Mexican June 
also makes fine “roasting” ears for use right up to frost. 
It is a great drouth resister and usually, if there is enough 
moisture to sprout the seed, a crop is assured. If wanted mostly 
for forage or ensilage, plant in April or May. Early planting makes 
stalks 12 to 15 feet high, leaves 4 to 6 feet long. 
14 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 55c; 1 pk., 90c; 14 bu., $1.50 
1136— MOSBY’S PROLIFIC (120 Days)—The most prolific corn in 
existence; the ftalks are tall, bearing 3 to 5 fine ears. The grains 
are long, set close to a small white cob, very uniform in shape, 
well filled. It has good roots and will withstand storms better 
than any other prolific sort. 
14 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 55c; 1 pk., 90c; 14 bu., $1.50 
1137— NORTH CAROLINA (120 Days)—Our grower of this variety 
of corn lives in Shelby County, Tennessee; has grown no other 
corn for years. He has bred this corn to a medium stalk, produc¬ 
ing 4 to 6 ears. This corn will stand in the field after maturing, 
through rain, storms and snow, and deteriorate less than any 
variety of corn grown today. 
14 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 50c; 1 pk., 90c; 14 bu., $1.50 
1130—WISCONSIN WHITE DENT (75 Days)—A Northern grown, 
very early, small-eared corn, highly recommended where an early 
feed crop is needed or for producing roasting ears for market. 
It will prove its worth to the man who is short of feed and needs 
a corn to make quickly. 
14 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 55c; 1 pk., 90c; 14 bu., $1.50 
1144—BUCHANAN’S (JARVIS) GOLDEN PROLIFIC—A yellow pro¬ 
lific corn with husk covering the ears so completely and tightly that 
it is practically impossible for any bird or weevil to get to the corn 
in the field. It is the hardest grained and makes the most solid ear 
of any yellow corn that w'e know, with the exception of the Cuban 
Yellow Flint. It resists drouth remarkably well, produces two good 
medium-size ears to the stalk and is in great demand on the 
Memphis market for roasting ears. 
14 gal., 40c; 1 gal., 65c; 1 pk., $1.00; 14 bu., $1.60 
1139—TENNESSEE YELLOW DENT (90 Days)—My most popular 
variety of Yellow Field corn, produces a medium stalk with two 
good ears of uniform size and shape, 8 to 10 inches long, with 
14 to 18 straight rows of yellow kernels on a medium-sized red 
cob, and ears are well filled out over tip. Tennessee Yellow Dent 
is often called drouth resister, as it will produce more corn on 
our thin uplands during a drouth year than any other known corn. 
14 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 65c; 1 pk., 95c; 14 bu., $1.50 
1141— IOWA GOLD MINE (90 Days)—An early yellow sort, having 
good size ears. It originated in the West, where it is very popu¬ 
lar, and east of the Mississippi has found high favor among most 
growers. 14 gal., 30c; 1 gal., 60c; 1 pk., 85c; 14 bu., $1.40

with lighter cap. Grains very deep, closely packed.
