WALKER'S GOLDEN DENT. The Largest Early Yellow Corn in Existence. Grows as Large as Dungan's White Prolific NATURE SHOWS FOE ITSELF. The ears in the above photograph, before being reduced, measured 10J and 11 inches in length and weighed 5 lbs. and 12 oz. Note size of cob. Compare this with your own corn. These are facts worth studying. It's corn you want to grow—not cob. For more than 20 years Mr. Walker has been breeding this corn to its present high state of perfection. It is unequaled by any corn in the world. We had 20 ears on exhibition at the Indiana State Fair, and the farmers simply went wild over them. The corn exhibited for premiums was nothing to compare with it. Hundreds of orders were taken for spring delivery. It will mature in any section where good corn can be grown and yield 30 or 40 bushels per acre more than the ordinary yellow corns now sold for seed. It is a natural=born big yielder. The grain is not only long, but broad and thick, very solid and heavy ; weighs out more shelled corn to the bushel than any known variety ; has wonderful germinating qualities, on account of its immense, large, solid grain; is strictly a Dent variety; grains grow well over the end of cob; has a good, strong foliage; husks easily, and ears set low on the stalk; matures in 1# days; has very thin bran, and easily masticated. Mr. Walker has accomplished in this corn what no other person has* a large ear with deep grains. It's the very corn you have been looking for, and for a small amount of money you can plant your entire crop with this Prize Corn. We have put a price on it to sell it. It's a money=makef, and every corn grower who does not put out a field of it this year will miss an opportunity of having the biggest yield of corn ever produced in his section. Give your ground a chance by planting the best corn on earth; that's the way to make farming pay. Price, bV mail, postpaid—Packet, 25c ; 3 pounds, 50c. By freight or express—) bushel, 75c; £ bushel, SI.00; 1 bushel, $1.50- 2\ bushels, S3.50. Bags free.
