FLINT VARIETIES 
Early Canada. Very earlj', ears nietliuin size, usu¬ 
ally ripens in .August. Hiitens well in the North¬ 
ern .States; a i)opuIar New England variety. (Jt. 
2.5e., pk. 75c., bus. S2.25.

is eight-rowed, yellow kernel and good size. Cob is 
(piite small and oars are from 10 to 15 inches long.

Stickney’s. The Prize Winner Strain. This Corn 
won at the National Corn Show, 190!), the first iirize 
for the l)est ten ears of Flint Corn grown. ,\t the New 
England Corn Exposition, 1910, it was awarded sweep¬ 
stakes for the best single ear of Flint Corn, and for the 
l«'st ten stalks exhibited, also several other first prizes 
in the different clas.ses. On a measured field of nine 
acres the harvest was SlOfij bushels, an average of over 
ninety-one bushels per acre. The ear is much thicker 
than the I.,ongfellow, cob is small, usually eight rows 
of kernels, although sometimes it has twelve rows. 
The stalks grow alxnit as high as the Longfellow, but the 
(•roll matures earlier. We lielieve it to lie one of the 
largest yielding varieties of Flint Corn. (jt. 20c., by 
mail 55c.: by express, pl^- 50e., pk. 90c., bus. $3.00. 
SWEET CORN FOR FODDER 
Stowell’s Evergreen. (For fodder.) K Sweet Corn, too 
well known to need any description. Qt. 20c., pk. 75c., 
bus. $2.50. 
Sugar Corn for Green Fodder. We find many of 
our fanners favor this for ensilage purposes owing 
to the large ix-rcentage of saccharine matter in the 
stalks. To cut up and use for Corn fodder in the 
Fall there is nothing better. This is especially grown 
for fodder purixises, tx'ing of thick growth and early 
maturity. Usually' sown in drills for early Summer 
and Fall Corn at the rate of tw'o bushels per acre in 
drills four feet apart. Pk. 50c., bus. $1.75, sack (2 bus.)

DENT VARIETIES 
In many localities in New England the Dent varieties 
have been grown very successfully. It is a fact that the 
yield is practically double that of the Flint varieties. We 
would recommend a part of your plantings of Field Corn 
to be of the Dent varieties. 
Brewer’s Yellow Dent. .4s this Corn is strictly a 
New' England variety', all the seed having been grown 
and ripened in New England, we have no hesitancy in 
recommending the Brew'er’s Dent, for it has overcome 
all of the difficulties of ripening this Corn here in New 
England. This Corn w'as aw'arded First Grand Champion 
Prize at the Corn exhibit in Omaha; the yueld from a 
measured acre was 133)^ bushels of shelled corn and a 
large amount of fodder. One can readily see that this 
would be a most desirable crop for ensilage as well as 
for the corn. Pk. 25c., bus. $2.75. 
Early Mastodon. It grow's strong, rank, quick and 
makes the finest aiipearance of shelled corn of all the 
varieties of Dent. It is purely a Dent Corn, of two shades, 
w'hite and yellow'; it has the largest ears and the largest 
corn of any' of the early Dent Ciorns. It will ripen its 
seed in Massachusetts. Pk. 60c., bus. $2.00. 
Eureka Ensilage. The tallest and best ensilage Corn; 
produces more valuable material, for the silo than any 
other, and is also very' productive of ears. Eureka is a 
choice selection of Southern Corn and in its native lati¬ 
tude ha.s shelled out 100 bushels to an acre. For ensilage 
its value is due to its enormous grow'th and great pro¬ 
duction of leaves anil ears; the main purpose of a silo 
is to preserve the largest possible quantity of fresh 
green foliage and ears that can be obtained from the 
smallest area. The Eureka will absolutely do this and 
has proven it to a great many farmers. Qt. 20c., pk. 
75c., bus. $2.,50. 
Learning Improved. One of the most popular and 
productive %'arieties, as the stalks grow' very tall and 
produce, as a rule, tw'o good ears on each stalk. Tlie 
ears arc long, w'ith small, red cobs, w'ell filled w'ith corn 
of medium .size and rich golden color. It w'ill ripen in 
from one hundred to one hundred and ten day's and makes 
a good crop even in a dry season. On account of its 
being very strong and vigorous the stalks are very leafy, 
making an excellent fodder; the kernels are so deep that 
it makes an extra large yielder. In this vicinity we recom¬ 
mend this Corn more than any other variety for ensilage.

Red Cob ■ Ensilage. A. very strong grower, highly 
recommended for ensilage; yields enormous crops.

Virgima^ Mammoth White. There is a great variety 
of W'hite Corns from the South sold under various 
names. Our stock is produced in Virginia and we have 
had excellent satisfaction w'ith this variety. It grows 
large, plenty of foliage, excellent for either fodder or 
ensilage. Pk. 50c., bus. S1.75
