One of the greatest yielders known, fully half the stalks producing two to three large, well developed ears, makes a large foliage and will stand a drouth to much greater degree than any other variety. It is no uncommon thing for Dungan's White Prolific to yield 100 bushels per acre. By mail postpaid—1 pound, 15c. By express or freight, not prepaid—Peck, 35c; XA bushel, 60c; 1 bushel, $1.00.
