Johnson & Stokes’ Thoroughbred Field Corn 
Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality 
IMPROVED LEAMING CORN 
AVe feel it a great honor to have been the first seedsmen to in¬ 
troduce and call attention to the great value of the True Improved 
Learning Corn, eighteen years ago,since which time it has grown 
in popularity each season, and is now catalogued by nearly every 
seedsman in America, it is probably more largely planted now, 
both in the Northern and Southern State's, than any other field 
corn known. This and the 100-Day Bristol Corn, also first, in¬ 
troduced by us in 1895, are by far the. earliest, and best large-eared 
Early Yellow Dent Corns in cultivation. The ears are large nnd 
handsome, as shown in our photograph alongside, with good, deep 
grain, of deep orange color and small red cob. Stalks grow to 
medium ei/.e (not large), with few suckers, slender and leafy,mak¬ 
ing most excellent fodder, producing two good ears to each stalk ; 
husks and shells easily. It ripens in 90 to 100 days and never fails 
to make a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of its curliness 
in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. 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, producing unusually well on light or heavy land, whore 
other varieties would not thrive. For several years past our sales 
of this one variety have averaged more than two thousand bushels 
annually, much of it going to the extreme Northern Stales and 
Canada, where it Inis also become very popular for fodder and 
ensilage purposes. Prices by mail, postpaid, pkt., 10c.; lb., 26c.;
