Express or freight charges always to be paid by the purchaser. If wanted to be sent by mail, postage

100 lb. or ton lots of the following varieties will be given on application. 
BARLEY. 
Common. —Extra cleaned. Prices on application. 
Beardless. — Best for hay, being entirely free from beards, so injurious to the mouths of horses. Prices 
on application. 
Bald, or Russian. — Has no hull or husk, and much resembles wheat, except that the grains are larger; 
greatly esteemed for hay. Prices on application. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
Common. — Buckwheat should be sown broadcast, at the rate of about 45 pounds to the acre. The aver¬ 
age yield is from 25 to 30 bushels per acre. It should be threshed as soon as dry, on the ground or 
barn floor. If allowed to stand in mass it quickly gathers moisture. It is an excellent food for poul¬ 
try, and is also a valuable plant for bees. Per lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $4.00. 
Silver Hull. — This improved variety is much better than the old sort. It is in bloom longer, matures 
sooner and yields better. The husk is thinner, the corners less prominent, and the grain of a beauti¬ 
ful light gray color. The flour is said to be better and more nutritious. Excellent for bees. Per lb. 
10c; 100 lbs. $6.00. 
Japanese. — A distinct variety, with grains nearly twice as large as those of the common kind. The 
straw is stouter and heavier; it branches more and does not need to be sown as thickly. It is a very 
heavy cropper and less likely to blight than the other varieties. Per lb. 10c; 100 lbs. $6.00. 
CORN—EASTERN GROWN. 
Champion White Pearl. — (100 days ) The stalk is short and thick. The ear grows low on the stalk, 
from 7 to 12 inches in length, almost parallel throughout, of medium size, averaging 16 rows of 
grain. The grains are pure white, very deep, compact and heavy. Two grains will more than span 
the cob; the cob is small. It roots deeply 
and matures early. We recommend it 
highly. Selected ears, shelled, per lb. 
5c; 100 lbs. $3.50. 
Golden Beauty.— (100 days. See cut.) 
The ears are remarkable in size, and filled 
out completely to the extreme end of the 
cob. The cob is the smallest, in comparison 
with the size of the ear, of any variety in 
cultivation, and when broken in half, a 
grain will reach across. The richness of 
color and fine quality of the grain make it 
vastly superior for grinding into meal. The 
grains are not of a hard flinty nature, 
neither are they so soft as to be greatly 
shrivelled. It matures early, ripening in 
100 to 110 days from planting, and surpasses all in size and beauty of grain. Selected ears, shelled, 
per lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $3.50. 
Hickory King. — (110 days.) This corn is entirely distinct from all other varieties, having the largest 
grain with the smallest cob ever introduced in a white corn. A single grain will completely cover the 
cob of an ear broken in half. Selected ears, shelled, per lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $3.50. 
Improved Learning. — (90 days.) This is one of the earliest yellow dent corns in cultivation, ripen¬ 
ing in 90 to 100 days from planting, surpassing the Yellow Canada and Flint varieties in earliness, 
productiveness, and quality. Over 4 tons of shelled corn have been grown on one acre. Selected 
ears, shelled, per lb. 5c; 100 lbs $3 50.
