JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, QUEENS CO., N. Y. 
NeW Field G°pi), 
GOLDEN SUPERB. 
An enormous golden dent variety, so early that it can be 
grown in the Northern States, and outyields any other sort. 
It originated in Connecticut. It is the finest Field Corn we 
have ever seen. Ears very large and handsome, 24 rows of 
deep kernels. It is enormously prolific, producing over 200 
bushels to the acre in very dry seasons, in hills four feet 
apart each way, and with ordinary cultivation. Its great 
vigor enables it to stand dry weather remarkably and give 
a good crop when other sorts fail from drouth. Two or three 
ears are borne on each stalk, and they run as uniform as 
though they were all made in the same mold, and they are 
as perfect and handsome as though they were made of wax. 
No other variety of corn can approach this, and it is bound, 
when known, to be more extensively grown than all other 
kinds put together. Owing to its extreme earliness it may 
be harvested earlier than any other Dent Corn, even when 
planted much later. It is the earliest by several weeks of 
all dent varieties. It is seldom one sees anything bred up 
to such perfection as is this new corn. Pkt., 10c.; lb.. 35c.; 
2 pounds for $1.00, postpaid. By express or freight, peck, 
$1.00; bushel, $3.00; 2 bushels, $5.00. 
James Ferguson, Bloomfield, N. J., Sept. 2d, writes: kk I 
am about to harvest my Golden Superb Corn. I have never 
seen such good Corn in my life. Its yield is immense, better 
than you claim. There is not a field of Corn in the State of 
New Jersey that can bent it. Some of the stalks have four 
good full ears with 24 rows of kernels, exceedingly hand¬ 
some. I shall take it to the State Fair.”
