"Ihe earliest, heaciest, souadest and most pro-

This is the testimony of THIRTEEN papers,
published in different States, to whom we sent
small packages last year to test it.

SWe have the above testimony on file in
our Office, and could produce many more if
space would permit. 1t will produce so to
200 bushels of sHELLED corn to the acre on
any soil, from Florida to Oregon. We possess
sworn statements of these facts. ~
The important points of superiority claim
ed for this Corn over other varieties, and
which are fully sustained by the voluntary
statements of farmers who raised from seed
got of us last year, are these:
lst. This corn will yield from twice to three
times as many bushels to the acre on the
same soil and with the same culture.
I'd. TIE Cora is heavier in weight, has a
larger, longer ear. and thinner hnsk, and
makes corn meal for family use sweeter and
more nutritious and valuable for feeding
stock.
3D.. The stalks grow more vigorous and
healthy, and sufficiently strong to produce
from 3 to 80 we'll developed ears.
4th. The stalks bear more foliage and is
better for feeding,
5th. That it will grow and produce profit.
able crop on ground where other corn will
not grow to maturity.
9Th. 1t ripens earlier and is not liable to
be caught by frost.
7th. To be cut green and used for feeding
it is fifty per cent better than any other va
riety of corn.
Our Corn has all been selected with the
greatest care, the small end of every ear,
broken of, the balance shelled by hand.
We Warrant Every Grain of it to
Grow.
The increase yield per acre over the old
varieties will pay for the seed 20 times over;
besides, every farmer that plants this year
will have a large demand for seed at good
prices.
This Corn was produced by some procured
by our Consular Agent, and said to have its
origin in Jaran.
