JOHNSON’S THOROUGHBRED FIELD CORN 
Selected for Seed—Tested for Vitality 
THE lOO-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-lialfagiiin as iiighas an ordinary-sized man, and its magni¬ 
ficent ears, averaging nearly a foot in length, ns shown in the photo¬ 
graph, I was inclined to doubt its earliness. Hut after growing it 
ourselves and on the farms of hundreds of customers, we havefound it 
cut and shocked ready for husking in ninety-live 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 IMam- 
nioth and other late varieties, which recjuire 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,
