Qt. 3Uc, by express or freight pk. 50c, bu. $1.30. Early Mastodon Dent. While not quite as early as our Early Huron Dent, or King of the Earlies. it is one of the earliest of all the large eared varieties of Dent Corn, and wil'l mature in 90 to 100 days in favorable corn weather. It is a strong grower and makes an excellent silo corn. Has the larg- est ears; will outvie!d and outshdl any corn known to the trade. Color of grain, yellow, tipped white.

Iowa Gold Mine. An excellent variety with ears of good size and symmetrical; color a bright golden yellow; the grain is very deep and cob small, thus enabling it to dry out very quickly as soon as ripe. It is remarkable to hold out in weight, 70 pounds of ears making 60 to 62 pounds of shelled corn. Will grade Xo. 1 in any market. Qt. 30c, by ex- press or freight, pk. 50c, bu. $1.30. Hickory King. The largest grained and smallest cobbed pure white Dent Corn. It ripens too late for this section, and we do not recommend it as a safe crop north of the latitude of central Pennsyl- vania. It will yield more on thin soil than any other white field corn. Qt. 30c, by express or freight, pk. 50c, bu. $1.30.

CUCUMBERS, Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich, loamy soil. As soon as the weather becomes warm and settled, plant in hills four to six feet apart each way, with 10 to 1*2 seeds in a hill; cover one-half inch deep. When all danger from insects is past, thin out the plants, leaving three or four of the strongest to each hill. The fruit should be picked when large enough, whether required for use or not. as, if left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their productiveness. 1 oz. to 50 hills. Nichols' Medium Green. Unequalled as a pickle sort, the voung fruit being very symmetrical in shape, deep* in color and very crisp; for early forcing and for slicing there is none better.
