CORN. Dibble's Mammoth Eight-Rowed Early Flint Corn; which was offered to farmers last season for the first time, has proven all that we guar- anteed it to be. Among the very desirable qualities of this wonder- ful Corn can be mentioned its enormous size, the ears being the longest of any variety of Corn that is grown, either Flint or Dent. Our stock of seed is from ears that are 10 inches and upwards in length. Our growers select our seed ears at time of harvesting, and they are given the most careful attention from that time until we pack them in bags ready for ship- ment. The Corn has been grown by father and son for years, until it is beyond a shadow of a doubt the purest, handsomest, heaviest yielding variety we have in this broad country of ours. It grows to good height. Each stalk bears from two to four ears under good cultivation. This year our fields of 40 acres are giving an average yield of from 140 to 160 bushels of ears per acre, shelling out from 60 to 80 bushels of first class A No. 1 shelled corn per acre. The great desideratum in a corn for northern farmers is that it should ripen early, The mammoth Flint which we offer becomes fully matured within 100 days from date of planting in any latitude. We supposed that we had an abun- dance of this Corn for our last season's trade, but found, to our disappointment, that our stock was short, as we returned any quantity of money after we were sold out. Our prices are extremely low, and as you all know this has been an unfavorable Corn year, it behooves every Corn grower to get the best seed attainable, so that he may be insured a'good crop next season. Price : 1 peck, 50c; % bush., $1.00 ; 1 bush,, $1.50 ; 10 bush., to one address, $1.25 per bush. New sacks free in every case. We will give $10 in gold for the largest yield from one peck, purchased of us, grown season of 1895, $10 in gold for the largest yield from one bushel, and $5 in gold for the longest and handsomest shaped half dozen ears delivered to us before November 1st, 1895. Cash for all of our prizes will be immediately forthcoming and paid to the winners November 1st, and the prize winners will be announced in the issue of the Rural New Yorker as soon as possible thereafter.
