F. BARTELDES & CO., LAWRENCE, KANSAS. 3 This is the largest Early Yellow Corn we know of. ears averaging one foot in length and about two inches in diameter, weighing one pound and upwards. vThe ears are very uniforn in size and shape, and of a fine goldeD color. It is early, maturing for us this year in ninety days, and looks as pretty as the Golden Beauty Corn. Staiks grow about eight feet high, are very leafy and furnish large quantity of fodder. Have grown it for several years and find it to be a heavy yielder and can recommend it highly to anybody who wants a large early yellow corn. Qt. 10c, M bu. 50c., bu. $1.25.
