The BADEN WHITE FLOUR Corn
This Corn grows on stalks averaging
from 8 to 10 feet height-the body
of the stalk being a little heavier than
the medium. The average length of
the ears is nine inches: the grains
plump and of common size; perfectly
white and flinty. 1t is hardy-not
requiring as much work as most of
qualities. The root grows straight
down in the ground, and consequent
ly drought effects it very little. The
yield is double that Of any other va
riety ever raised in America. It will
produce medium good corn landsone
hundred bushels per acre.
This corn is from two to three
weeks earlier than any other variety
and grows from 4 to IA large size
ears on every stalk. The average
number of good size ears is six. A
fine quality of -four can be made from
it. When ground it produces -four
analogous both in appearance and
taste to -four made from the best
white wheat. Agents are wanted in
every County to canvass and take
orders for this corn. A sample stalk
with from 5 to s large sized ears on
it will be furnished every agent A
sample package containing about 100,
900 grains with special terms to
agents for it and other seeds will he
sent to any address on receipt of ST..
Order before the season is too far
advanced. Address W. S T1proN,
