One-fourth Natural Size. Section of Ear. Natural Size. This variety Is the result of careful selection continued during a quarter of a century. The originator says: "About twenty-flve years ago I picked out a few of the best ears, the seed of which was planted the next year by itself, and produced a better crop than the otlier portion of the field. The ears now are double the size they were ; All those who grew it last year are in their praises, and declare it "TUB BEST DETvTT CORN ; The kernels are iphite, large, broad, and heavy, and inclined to shrink less than those of other kinds of Dent Corn, while the shape of the ears and of the kernels is very constant. It is generally a single- eared Com, though often two good ears grow on a stalk, and on the suckers also, one seed having pro- duced ten ears which weighed five pounds, shelled four pounds, and contained 3670 grains. The yield of this variety is enormous, one hundred bushels of shelled Com being an average yield under good cultiva- tion, while one hundred and fifty bushels per acre, and over, have been produced in favorable seasons. We are confident that no variety more desirable for the Southern and South-western States has eyer been introduced.
