Field GOPr>? Golden Superb. The Most Valuable Field Corn Ever Grown, and Now the Reading Favorite Where "Known from Maine to California. An enormous golden dent variety, so early that it can be grown in the Northern States, and out-yields any other sort. It originated in Connecticut. It is the finest Field Corn we have ever seen. Ears very large and handsome, mostly 24 rows of deep kernels. It is enormously prolific, producing over 2(10 bushels to the acre in very dry seasons, in hills four feet apart each way, and with ordinary cultivation. Its great vigor enables it to stand dry weather remarkably, and give a good crop, where other sorts fail. Often two or three ears are borne on one stalk, and they run as uniform as though they were all made in the same mould, and they are as per- fect and handsome as though they were made of wax. No other variety of Corn can approach this, and it is bound, when known, to be more extensively grown than all other kinds put together. Fodder so excessively sweet and nutri- tious that cattle eat it in preference to any other. Owing to its extreme earliness it may be harvested earlier than any other Dent Corn. It is seldom one sees anything bred up to such perfection as is this new Corn. Price by mail or ex- press prepaid by us, 10c per pkt.: 30c. per lb., in any quan- tity. Or per peck, $1-53. By express or freight, purchaser to pay charges, per peck, 80c; bushel,$2.75. Although it has been more than ten years since we in trodueed Golden Superb, our sales of it last year were much Urger than any previous year,showing that it is appreciated.
