1125— BUCHANAN’S PAYMASTER (100 Days)—Originated in Middle 
Tennessee, where there are several counties that are noted for their 
heavy yields of corn, due to the fact that the soil of these counties 
contains the elements of potash and phosphate in abundance. These 
elements supplied by nature are the most important factors in pro¬ 
ducing not only heavy yields of corn, but seed com of strong vitality. 
Buchanan’s Paymaster is suited for both lowlands and good uplands. 
It will produce a medium stalk with two good ears, broad white grains 
on a bright red cob—fills out well. 
Price—% gal., 35c; 1 gal., 50c; peck, $1.00; y 2 bu., $1.90 
1126— TENNESSEE WHITE, RED COB (120 Days) — An extra large 
field com; grains long, broad and evenly lined on large red cob. The 
ears of this sort will run from 9 to 12 inches long and have from 18 
to 20 rows. It is a rather late maturing sort, but for bottom land and 
main crop this corn cannot be excelled. This is one of the largest grain, 
greatest yielding and best milling corns grown in the South. 
Price— Y 2 gal., 35c; 1 gal., 50c; peck, 95c; y 2 bu., $1.85 
1128—BUCHANAN’S CHAMPION WHITE DENT (90 Days)—It is the 
earliest large-eared white field corn known. It is an early White Dent, 
coming in almost as early as the Early Surprise, but much larger; 
sample ears have been shown us 14 inches in length and 3% inches in 
diameter. For stock feeding it is very valuable; coming in as it does 
when all fodder is short, it fills a breach which all stock feeders can 
appreciate. Again, it is a corn that has made itself before the hot, dry 
weather and when other field varieties must make their growth. 
Price—% gal., 35c; 1 gal., 50c; peck, 95c; % bu., $1.85 
1132—HICKORY KING (110 Days)—This is an entirely distinct variety 
among the white corns, combining the largest grain with the smallest 
cob. Ears fill out well and will make more shelled com to bulk of 
ears than any other variety. It is good for roasting ears to follow 1 
Early Surprise; makes splendid quality of corn meal. 
Price—% gal., 45c; 1 gal. 65c; peck, $1.15; % bu., $2.15 
1136— MOSBY’S PROLIFIC (120 Days)—The most prolific corn in 
existence; the stalks are tall, bearing 3 to 5 fine ears. The grains are 
long, set close to a small white cob, very uniform in shape, well filled. 
It has good roots and will withstand storms better than any other 
prolific sort. Price—% gal., 35c; 1 gal., 50c; peck, 95c; y 2 bu., $1.85 
1137— NORTH CAROLINA (120 Days)—Our grower of this variety of 
corn lives in Shelby County, Tennessee; has grown no other com for 
years. He has bred this com to a medium stalk, producing 4 to 6 ears. 
This com will stand in the field after maturing, through rain, storms 
and snow, and deteriorates less than any variety of com grown today. 
Price—y 2 gal., 45c; 1 gal., 65c; peck, $1.10; % bu., $2.00

NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN JR. 
Is used as a dust disinfectant to control the ear, root and stalk rots of 
corn. In tests conducted in both Illinois and Iowa by the Federal and 
State governments. SEMESAN JR. increased yields from diseased seed 
by varying amounts up to 38 per cent. 
NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN JR. is applied only as a dust, at the 
rate of 3 ounces per bushel of seed. The cost therefore is only about 
5c an acre of field com. Send for SEMESAN JR. Corn Pamphlet with
