FIELD CORN, GENESEE VALLEY 
Genesee Valley* a new, yellow, eight-rowed Flint variety; 
originating through the crossing of the popular Longfellow with 
a choice local stock. The cob is white, twelve to fifteen inches 
in length, and very slender. The grain is a golden yellow, large, 
and compactly set, covering both butt and tip. It is an exceed¬ 
ingly early, hardy, and productive variety, yielding on good land 
from eighty to 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre. It is easy to 
husk, and the stalks make good fodder. Peck, 60 cents ; 
bushel, $1.75. 
LATE OR MAIN CROP 
Potter’s Excelsior (Squanium). A well-known sort, extensively grown 
for market and canning purposes; also used throughout New England in their 
famous clambakes. It is remarkably sweet, and wonderfully productive. 
Hickok’s Improved. This is a variety extensively used for canning pur¬ 
poses. It is earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen, and makes an attractive ear of 
very white and handsome grain. It is very prolific, every stalk producing two 
ears. It is the best sort for drying and parching. 
_ 1 <1« * There never was, and we 
Stowell’s Evergreen, believe there never'will be, a 
better late Sweet Corn than Stowell's Evergreen. For a late main crop, for 
family use, the general market, or for canning, it is unexcelled. We have made 
a specialty of this variety for years, and our sales of thousands of bushels to the 
canning trade of America attest the fact that our strain is the best. 
a _ A remarkably satisfactory and 
Country Gentleman. dclicious C J„ for faml ,J use . 
* The ears are good sized and produced in great abundance, many stalks bearing 
four plump ears. Its long, small, milky kernels are full of sweetness; and as the cob is 
small, and the corn white and tender, it is sure to please. It is somewhat later than 
Sto well’s Evergreen. 
Black Mexican. The ripe grain of this novel variety is black or bluish black, but 
when in condition for the table looks remarkably white. This is considered the very 
sweetest and most tender of any variety in the list of Sweet Corns. 
Egyptian, or Washington Market, a tall-growing son, very late, coming in 
after StowelPs Evergreen. It is a delicious, sweet, and tender Corn, and quite desirable 
for an extremely late variety. Highly prized for canning purposes. 
Mammoth Late Sugar. Green cars of this variety have been exhibited weighing 
between two and three pounds. It is the sweetest and largest of all the mammoth sweet 
sorts. It is also valuable on account of its yield of stalks for fodder.

inches in length ; cob very small and red, with grain above medium size and closely set. 
It produces an enormous quantity of shelled corn to the amount of cob. Stalks six to 
eight 'feet, and frequently bearing two cars. An exceedingly early and prolific variety. 
Improved Learning. Similar to above in every respect, but about two weeks kuer 
in maturing. A very desirable variety. 
Champion White Pearl. A new, early, thoroughbred White Dent Corn. Ears 
average sixteen rows, with very small cob; ripens in 90 to 100 days from time of planting. 
Very productive,yielding fully as well as the Yellow Dent sorts. 
Early Mastodon. An improved variety of Yellow Dent, combining large yield, large 
grains, and early ripening. It has the largest number of rows on a cob, and the 
largest grains of any Corn ever originated. It is high bred and of a beautiful color, 
being such corn as brings the highest price in the market. It is of medium height, grows 
rapidly, and ripens in 100 days. From 170 to 200 bushels per acre have been produced 
as far north as latitude 42 0 30'. Considering its size and the number of rows on a cob, 
it is the earliest Dent Corn grown. 
Golden Beauty, a grand new Dent variety of vigorous growth and immensely 
productive on rich soil. The cars are of perfect form, remarkable in size, filled to the tip 
with ten to fourteen rows of remarkably large bright golden grains. Cob very small for 
so large an ear. Ripens in from no to 120 days. Stalks ten to twelve feet in height, with 
abundant foliage. Peck, 60 cents ; bushel, $1.75. 
Iowa Silver Mine. Awarded first prize at Illinois State Fair. White kernels on 
white cob; ears ten to twelve inches long, sixteen to twenty-rowed, often weighing one 
and one-half pounds. Stalks seven to eight feet high. It is hardy, a great drouth 
rcsistcr, and a rapid and strong grower. 
Improved Early Sheeptooth. (Fodder Corn). Nearly ‘two weeks earlier and 
better adapted for fodder and ensilage in the Northern States than the ordinary Southern 
Sheeptooth. The stalks are twelve to fourteen feet in height, and enormously productive. 
This improved sort is generally superseding all known varieties for ensilage purposes. 
Peck, 40 cents; Bushel, $1.25; bag of bushels, $2.90, with no charge for bag. 
Sweet Fodder. There is nothing better for green feed, or for curing for winter, than 
Sweet Corn. Cattle highly relish it, and when fed on it keep in fine condition and give 
an abundance of rich milk. It has the great merit of being so sweet and palatable that 
cattle cat every bit of the stalk and leaves. It is also excellent for soiling. Sow in drills, 
one and one-half bushels per acre ; or broadcast double the quantity. State if wanted for 
summer or winter feeding when ordering. Peck, 50 cents; bushel, $1.75.
