JOHNSON’S THOROUGHBRED FIELD CORN 
Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality 
THE 100-DAY BRISTOL FIELD CORN 
When a few years since, before naming and introducing it, I first 
saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous stalks and 
fodder, one-half again as high as an ordinary-sized man, and its magni¬ 
ficent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, as shown in the photo¬ 
graph, I was inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growing it 
ourselves and on the farms of hundreds of customers, 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 considering the size of the ear. It will produce as 
much fodder and more corn than the famous Chester County Mam¬ 
moth and other late varieties, which require three to four weeks 
longer to ripen. It is very high in protein, making it a fine ensilage 
corn. In fact, it is a perfect field corn in all respects. Prices, 
pkt., 10c.; ear, 25c.; lb., 
30c.; 3 lbs., 75c., post¬

of 22 acres, showing its wonderful growth of fodder.

er of this cata¬ 
logue, Herbert 
IV. Johnson, 
standing at the 
end of the row, 
is 5 feet ii in¬ 
ches tall, and as 
will he seen, the 
stalks at that 
early time were 
about one-half 
again as high, 
and before the 
end of the sea¬ 
son many mea¬ 
sured 13 to 14 
feet. 
Average ear, 100-day Bristol corn.
