NEW SNOW WHITE DENT.
A COMPARATIVELY new variety. Some think that it is from a selection of the Silver Mine. However, it is an excellent variety of special value for milling purposes. The introducer says: "Superfine Meal, made from Snow White Dent Corn is by all odds the best meal made in this or any other country. The ordinary dull, white colored, slightly mixed, immature white corn of the country will no more make such meal than will a sow's ear make a silk purse. Snow White Dent is the whitest, purest, most perfect, heaviest yielding, and in every way the best milling corn in the world to-day. Pkt. 5c, b. 25c, lbs 60c, postpaid.
