First Premium White Dent A • AliWAYS A. PREMIUM • • CORN f^UK artist has tried to faithfully portray the beauty of this grand variety and to a great extent has succeeded. The large ear is a fair representation of an ear 11 inches long reduced in size. The inches as platted are % (q of actual length, hence the ear is only % of actual length. .The hill of corn will show style of growth, and with the picture of Mr. Trout, the originator, who is a good sized man, to serve as a basis for comparison, a very, clear idea can he had of this corn as it grows in the field. Mr. Trout is the champion corn-grower of his county, and has been regularly excelling all-his wide-awake neighbors in his corn product. We name it First Premium because of tbe fact that it has been awarded highest honors wherever exhibited. It'is a pure ivory white corn on a white cob. Ears grow longer and not so thick as our Forsyth Favorite and grains do not average quite so long. The grains are of fine texture, smooth, compact, sound and heavy. Its purity in color adapts it for mak- ing White Meal and other corn products. Matures in 100 to 110 days, is finely adapted to all sections south of a line 75 miles north of Indianapolis, and will give all growers great satisfaction in quality and productiveness. This corn has taken the country by storm. We sell enormous quantities of. it as- regularly as the season comes around. Be- j**-*-* low are only a few reports, samples of hundreds received. G "I recommend R P. W. D. Corn to all farmers as one of the best varieties of white corn in this state. S. N. Clemens, Grant Co.,Ind.'* "In the lead of all white corn in my county. Mount Branigan, Vigo Co., Ind." "I cheerfully recommend F. P. W. D. Corn to any farmer In Indiana or any otner state aa one of the most productive varieties that can be grown in this country. Scott Curry, Logan Go., O "F. P. W. D. Corn has taken our section by storm. My crop is the talk of the neighborhood. S. B. Ott, Prince George Co., Md.v "Having seen a crop of F. P. W. D. Corn from one ear, I write you early to save me 4 bu7f6r seed and quote your price. I never saw suc^ corn before. Alfred Ridgly, Miller Co., Mo. "My F. P. W. D. Corn yielded at the rate 208 bu. per acre. Don't suppose I could have grown a whole acre at that rate, but it is en mous—the greatest on earth, I am sure. E. T. Osgood, Piatt Co., I1L' "When visiting my brother in Iowa, I saw them husk your F. P. W. D. Corn, and .such corn I never saw before. 3 ears would reach across the Wagon bed. It was more like stove wood in size than corn. Their yield must have been more than 100 bu. per acre. Quote me price for next season. Geo. Everly, Timble Co., Ky, "I have seen your F. P. W. D. Corn at the State Fair for 3 years past and at a number of County. Fairs, and it always was my choice of all. Last spring I obtained some seed and am wonderfully pleased with my success. O. M. Bagley, Union Co., O. When it is considered that bu. of this pure thoroughbred corn will plant about 2 acres and these 2 acres yield 50 t 100 bushels more than corn that we know is usually raised, the price we ask should not be considered. Try it and be convinced that It is O.K.
