The ioo=Day Bristol Corn 
THE LARGEST EARED, EARLIEST YELLOW DENT CORN 
The 100-Day Bristol was first pointed out to us bv the well-known seed 
farmers, Messrs. Myers and Bowman, of Bucks Co.. Pa., who, with a few neigh¬ 
bors, had been growing it to the exclusion of all other varieties, owing to its 
great earliness and wonderful productiveness, one hundred bushels to the 
acre being no uncommon yield. 
When we first saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous 
stalks and fodder, twice the height of an ordinary sized man, and its magni¬ 
ficent ears, averaging about a foot in length, as shown in photograph alongside, 
we were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it ourselves and on 
the farms of hundreds of our customers, the past three seasons, we have found 
it cut and shocked ready for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days from 
the time the seed was planted. The grain is a light yellow; the cob is small con¬ 
sidering the size of the ear. It will produce us much fodder and more corn than 
the famous Chester County Mammoth and other late varieties, which require 
three to four weeks longer to ripen. In fnot, it is a perfect field corn in all 
respects. Prices of Extra Selected Seed: Pkt., 10e.; car, 25c.; lb., SOe.; 3 lbs.,

NEW FIELD CORN—DELAWARE COUNTY DENT 
For some years Delaware and Chester, adjoining counties in Pennsylvania, 
have given the largest yields of corn per acre of any district in the United 
States. This variety, although quite new, is already very popular there, and is 
regarded as the most productive of any corn grown in these counties; ears 
large, grain bright yellow and of great depth, maturing in 110 to 120 days from 
planting. It is one of_tlie best. Pkt., 10e.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., postpaid ; qt., 15c.; 
peck, 75c.; bush., Sl.75; sack of 2 bush., 83.25; 10 bush, and over, SI.50 per bush.,

THE TRUE IMPROVED LEAMING CORN 
Previous to our introduction of The 100-Day Bristol Corn, the True im¬ 
proved Learning has been considered the earliest Yellow Dent in cultivation. 
The cars are large and handsome, with deep grain, of deep orange color 
and small red cob. Stalks grow to medium size (not large), with few suckers, 
producing two good ears to each stalk ; husks and shells easily. One hundred 
and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn 
ground. It is also adapted to a greater variety of soils than other varieties, pro¬ 
ducing unusually well on light or heavy land, where other varieties would not 
thrive. Prices, by mail, postpaid: pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75c.; by freight or 
express, bags included, qt., 15c.; peck, 50c.; bush., 81.40; 10 bush, and over, 
81.25 per bush.; ears, 50 for 82.50; 100 for 8-1.50. 
JOHNSON & STOKES’ GIANT BEAUTY FIELD CORN 
In the new Giant Beauty wo have a very valuable and long-soughl-for 
variety, viz.: A very large ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn. 
Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud’s Early Dent and Golden Beauty, pos¬ 
sessing the earliness and Deep Grain of the former, with the handsome 
<leep yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It is absolutely the lar¬ 
gest grained of all yellow corn. Its rich, deep golden color and fine quality 
of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal, and indicate its strong 
nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking strong hold in the 
ground and averaging eight feet in height, producing two large cars, well tilled 
to the extreme ends of the cob, even on light and poor land. Giant Beauty pre¬ 
sents the most perfect type of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced. Pkt., 10c.; 
ear, 25c.; 11)., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75e., postpaid, by mail; by express or freight, peek, 75c.;
