New corn, “HOLDEN BEAITV .’ 1 
I'liis new variety, which was offered for the first time last season, 
is the largest grained and handsomest of all yellow corn. The ears 
are of perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen straight rows of bright¬ 
est golden yellow grains of remarkable size, and filled out to the ex¬ 
treme end of the cob. The cobs are unusually small; when broken in 
half two grains will reach across. The richness of color and fine 
quality of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal. The 
grains are not of a hard flinty type, neither are they so soft as to be 
greatly shriveled, as is the Golden Dent. The ears are easily shelled, 
although the kernels are firm on the ear, and in every respect present 
as perfect a type as could be desired. 
Golden Beauty matures early, ripening in eighty to one hundred 
days from planting, and surpasses all in size and beauty of grain.

New Field Coni, “CHAMPION WHITE PEARL.” 
This is undoubtedly the handsomest and best white corn ever in¬ 
troduced. The grain is pure white, exceedingly heavy and extra long 
and wide, two of which will more than span the cob. It is uniform 
in cross, self fertilization and maturity, giving an even grade of corn. 
It is very prolific, and yields according to manner and thoroughness 
of cultivation, the season and fertility of soil. 
Being medium in size of stalk, it can be planted much thicker than 
a larger corn, and at the same time bear a full sized ear. It contains 
no barren habits, and but little smut. The originator has established 
in Champion White Pearl corn a short, thick stalk, with tlio ear grow¬ 
ing low upon it, which is an advantage in stormy weather.
