@We have the above testimony on file in
our Office, and could produce many more il
space would permit. it 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 8
larger, longer ear. and thinner husk, and
makes corn meal for family use sweeter and
more nutritious and valuable for feedinl
stock.
Sd. The stalks grow more vigorous ani
healthy, and sufficiently strong to product
| from to 80 well developed ears.
4th. The stalks bear more foliage and ii
better for feeding,
5th. That it will grow and produce profit
able crop on ground where other corn viii
not grow to maturity.
9th. 1t ripens earlier and is not liable t,
be caught by frost.
7th. To be cut green and used for feeding
tits fifty per cent better than any other va
riety of corn.
Our Corn has all been selected with tn
greatest care, the small end of every eal
broken off, the balance shelled by hand.
We Warrant Every Grain of it t,
Grow.
The increase yield per acre over the oil
varieties will pay for the seed 20 times over
besides, every farmer that plants this yea
will have large demand for seed at goo
prices.

by our Consular Agent, and said to have it
