Longfellow's Field Corn Corn
This fine field corn is the result of careful selection in a family of Massachusetts farmers for forty-five years. The ears are remarkably long, some of them fifteen inches, and oftentimes two or more good specimens grow on one stock. The cob is quite small. It is the largest kerneled variety of yellow field corn that I have ever found it safe to plant in the latitude of Massachusetts, where it is extensively grown. Over two hundred bushels of ears have been raised to the acre in Massachusetts. Pkt., 10c; qt., by mail, 50c; lb., be exp, 30c; peck, 75c; bus., $2.25.
