JOHNSON COUNTY PEIZE WHITE- New Field Corn Johnson County Prize White. Finest Corn on Earth. At the National Corn Show, in competition with the finest samples from all over the United States, Johnson County White always captured the prize for the best Corn of any color in the world. A high honor, indeed. At one show, the ten prize ears sold for $350,and our stock here offered was grown from them- Certainly it is the most glorious Corn ever grown. Length of ears about ten inch- es, with twenty rows of grain. Weight of ten ears 13K lbs., of which 12 pounds is Corn and lK lbs., cob. About one thou- sand grains to the ear. Growth fairly strong and vigorous, and should be planted in rows not closer than 3% feet. Yield enor- mous. In any fair situation fully one-halfof the entire crop will be exhibition Corn. From every standpoint of scientific breedingthis is the finest and most perfect Corn in the world. Selected Seed, loc. per pkt.; 30c per lb.: 3 lbs., for 75c; 7 lbs,, $1-50. Carrying charges prepaid By express or freight at buyer's expense, 75c. per peck; $2.00per bushel. Three bushels for $5-00. New Field Corn. Large Grained Yard- stick. Greatly superior t o the old Yardstick, as it has a very large kernal or grain, and far better than any other Long- fellow type. Possesses great beauty, enormous productiveness andearl- iness. In cold climates where the season is short Yardstick is just the Corn that is needed. It gets its name from the enor- mous length of ears, which though not a yard in iength are often one- half of it, by far the long- est-eared Corn we have ever seen, and the most beautiful. Color golden yellow and very hand- some. Quality like that of all the fine flint Corns, which is much superior to anv dent variety. There Is no doubt but that Yard- stick is twice as produc- tive as the common vari- eties of flint Corn, Its superb quality will be appreciated by those who grind it into meal for homecomsumption. Pkt., 10c; lb.. 35c; 3 lbs., 90c; 7 lbs.,$1.75 prepaid. By ex- press or freight at buyer's expense, peck, 80c.; bushel, $2.50. SAMPLE EARS. We can supply sample ears o f Golden Superb. Large Grained Yardstick, and Johnson County White at 30c each; 4 for $1.00, prepaid,
