Do you deem it wise to risk doubtful corn when good seed is so cheap? Mammoth White Dent.-This is a large eared variety.

Prepaid, qt. 25c; not prepaid, qt. 10c, peck 50c, bu. $1.50, 5 bu. $6.50. Pride of tlie North..—A very early Yellow Dent Corn.

Prepaid, qt. 25c; not prepaid, qt. 10c, peck 40c, bu. $1.25, 5 bu. $5.75. Wisconsin White Dent.—Considered by many the best White Dent Corn for the North. It cannot, however, compare with Wernich's Sweet White Pearl. Prepaid, qt. 25c; not pre- paid, qt. 10c, peck 50c, bu. $1.50, 5 bu. $7.00. Wernich's Sweet White Pearl.—Grown in the far North es- pecially for our trade. By far the best White Dent in cultivation. We have sold this corn for the past twelve years and have yet to hear the first complaint. It has all the characteristics of the Champion White Pearl, the well known White Dent variety, but is earlier in maturing and contains more, nutritious food than the Champion. In yield it surpasses anything known as corn. Those who have planted it in the past think so well of it that the new varieties constantly coming out year after year have no fascina- tion for them, being firmly convinced that Wernich's Sweet White Pearl is the earliest and purest of all the White Dents now sold by seed dealers.
