FIELD CORN. 
I have an excellent stock of several hundred bushels of seed 
field corn, all of my own growing. This corn has been extra selec¬ 
ted, and hand nnbbed. My set d corn is very fine and I shall be 
pleased to supply everybody who is in need of seed, believing that 
my stock of seed com will give satisfaction wherever used. 
EIGHTY DAY YELLOW DENT.—This is said to be the earliest 
dent corn in the world and so far as my own observation goes, it 
is true. I planted a field of this corn the past season after plowing 
up an old berry field, about the 10th of June, and the corn grew 
and was ready for cutting by the last of August. This corn is 
especially adapted to a northern climate where the season is short 
and the frost comes early in the fall. There is no question that it 
will give satisfaction in northern States, New York. Lanadaand 
similar latitudes, and under favorable conditions 1 have no doubt 
that it will mature in seventy-five days of good corn weather. 
The Eighty Day Yellow Dent is earlier than the Pride of the 
IJorth. It is the highest standard known in the production of an 
early variety for the extreme North, The ears run from seven to 
ten inches long with sixteen to twenty rows of very compact 
grains, solidly set on a small red cob and will yield from forty to 
sixty bushels of shelled corn per acre. My seed crop this season is 
unusually line. Those of our readers who want an early corn that 
is early, should not fail to give the Eighty Day Yellow Dent a 
trial. I have a good stock and have made the price reasonable.

HARYLAND QUEEN.—It is a beautiful sight to look at in 
the crib I nave been growing this strain of white corn for 
number of years and have found it to be an extremely valu¬ 
able sort. The ears are usually eight to ten inches long, set 
very close and compact on the ear, which is well filled out at 
both ends, the small or top end usually being entirely cov¬ 
ered over with corn. The above photograph was taken from 
a fair sample of three ears. Hundreds of bushels just as good 
are nowin my corn crib. While I have been growing and se¬ 
lecting this variety for a number of years. I never offered it to 
the public until last season. I believe all who plant it will be 
pleased with the results. It matures in about one hundred 
days, grotvs to medium height, with strong, sturdy stalks I 
sold several hundred bushels ot this variety to the leading mill¬ 
er in Salisbury the past season, and he paid me two cents per 
bushel over the highest market price for w hite corn and told 
me that it was the best corn that he had bought this season, 
and made the w'hitest and sweetest meal, Large pkt. l.e:qt

bu. or over $1.25 per bushel, bags included. 
Kansas Iking. 
KANSAS KING.—I planted largely of this valuable corn the 
past season and I am well pleased at the results, having made a 
magnificent crop. This variety is of recent introduction, and 
is bound to please all who grow it. It matures in about ninety- 
five days and yields very heavily, the corn averaging from five- 
eighths to three quarters of an inch long, set on small red cobs. 
Sixty well developed ears will shell a bnshel of corn. This corn 
grows deeply, and it will stand drouth better than many others. 
The above illustration is a photograph taken from average ears. 
I have several hundred bushels that are just as good as those 
in illustration. The increased yield this corn will give you in 
one season will more than pay you for the cost of the seed corn 
several times over. Try it and be convinced. Large pkt. 10c: 
qt. 25c: postpaid, Peck 50c; half bu. 90c; bu. $1.50; 2 bu. $2.75; 10 
bu. or over $1.25 per bushel, bags included. 
POOR MAN’S CORN.—This is an excellent new early corn of 
larger, rounder growth than my Eighty Day Yellow Dent, but 
not quite so early. I had a field of this corn planted the last of 
June, on land where I harvested^ crop of scarlet clover seed, 
and then plowed in the stubble and planted the corn. The crop 
was entirely set and thoroughly mature. It is a very deep, 
beautiful yellow color with deep grains set on small cobs 
This great corn isthe result of a series of crosses, and subse¬ 
quently by a continuous systematic selection. This corn will 
mature in ninety days and yields heavily on either light or 
heavy soil. I am much pleased, with the variety and plant it

OATS. 
1 have afine stock of spring oats that are well matured 
and nicely clevned, which I am pleased to offer the seed 
trade. These oats are of my own growing and I know 
that they are very fine. I have two varieties—the Large 
White Spring and the Twentieth Century—either of 
which are very good. I see no great difference in the 
two varieties. If there is any preference, however, mv 
choice would be the Large White. I shall be pleased to 
Pear troin anyone who wants spring oats for seeding.
