Country Gentleman Corn
This late or main-crop variety is the result of a cross of the Ne Plus Ultra with Stowell's Evergreen, producing a larger ear than the former, but retaining its productiveness, similar fine quality, and irregular “shoe-peg” arrangement of the crowded, slender, deep grains. The ears, being so much larger than those of the original type, are more desirable in most localities as a market variety. Pkt., 10c; pt., 25c; postpaid. qt., 30c; 4 qt., $1.00; peck, $1.75
