"Your Farmers' Reliance Corn proved to be a very fine corn and I was much pleased with it."- W. [?]. Whitmer, Clinton Co., Iowa. "The Farmers' Reliance Corn yielded a big crop for [illegible] and I was much pleased with it."-C. Guilford, Jones Co., Iowa. FARMERS' RELIANCE CORN. A grand novelty in field corn, introduced by the Iowa Seed Co. and it is by far the earlist variety of dent corn in existence, and also the largest eared early corn. It is earlier than Pride of the North and a much better cropper. Its quick growth really surprises one. The stalks usually have from 9 to 12 blades, white most ordinary corn has 13 blades. These leaves are quite broad, of dark emerald green healthy color. This corn has been planted as late as June 26th and yielded a splendid crop, earlier than Pride of the North. We claim that it will mature any year in 80 to 85 days. The ears are much larger than Pride of the North, not as rough or hackled, thus making it easier to handle. It is the farmers reliance every year. Don't fail to plant at least a small quantity, and thus obtain your seed for another season. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid. By freight or express, pk. 75c, bu. $2.25; 2 bu. or more @ $2.10, 5 bu. or more @ $2.00. ST. CHARLES WHITE CORN. This variety is quite popular with some of our customers in Missouri and makes a good crop in southern Iowa, though we do not recommend it north of Des Moines. It is a handsome, pure white corn, set on a red cob, and the corn appears to be much clearer white than most of the white cob varieties. The ears are usually 8 1/2 to 10 inches in length, 16 rowed, and the kernels are quite deep and broad. Stalk grows to medium height but has quite broad, succulent leaves and therefore desirable for fodder purposes. Pkt. 5c., lb. 25c., 3 1bs. 60c, postpaid. By freight, pk. 65c, bu. $2.00, 2 bu. or more @ $1.85, 5 bu. or more @ $1.75. T IMPROVED WORLD'S FAIR CORN. IS A STRONG GROWING VARIETY, maturing a large handsome I T ear In about 110 days, or ten days earlIer than the Legal Tender. While there may be two or three other I<lnds that have out yielded it, yet it Is a heavy cropper and for uniformIty of grain, shape of ear, filling out of butts and tlp~, and solidlty\ there Is perhaps no other that equals it. It was the prIze winner of both alploma and medal at the great World's Fair ExposItIon In Chicago, but sInce then has been greatly Improved.
