Burpee's Golden Beauty Field Corn
This most popular variety produces the largest yellow grins of any field corn now known. The ears are perfect in form and grow to remarkable size, well filled to the extreme tip with ten to fourteen regular rows of bright golden grains. The cobs are unusually small for so large an ear, while the grains are of such size that when the ear is broken in half they will frequently equal in length the diameter of the cob. The richness of color and fine quality of the grains make it superior for grinding into meal. At Fordhook Farms it requires a season of one hundred to one hundred and twenty days to mature a crop, but the ears ripen well. The grain is easily shelled though firmly attached to the cob. The stalks take a firm hold in the soil, are strong and vigorous in growth with abundant leafage and attain a height of from ten to twelve feet if the seed is planted in rich soil. Pkt 10 cts.; lb 25 cts.; 3 lbs for 65 cts.
