first Premium wnite Dent CORN ALWAYS A PREMIUM. ■ H H V f^Vmt artist has tried to faithfully portray the beauty of this grand variety and to a great extent has succeeded. V/ The large ear is a fair representation of an ear 11 inches long reduced in size. The inches as platted are % of actual length, hence the ear is only % of actual length. The hill of corn will show style of growth, and with the picture of Mr. Tront, the originator, who is good sized man, to serve as a basis for comparison, a very clear idea can be had of this corn as it grows in the field. Mr. Trout is the champion corn-grower of his county, and has been regularly excelling all his wide-awt ce neighbors in his corn product. We name it First Premium, because of the fact that it has been awarded ighest honors wherever exhibited. It is a pure ivory white corn on a white cob. Ears grow longer and not so thick as our Forsyth Favorite and grains do not average quite so long. The grains are of fine texture, smooth, compact, sound and heavy. Its purity in color adapts it for mak- ing White Meal and other corn products. Matures in 100 to 110 days, is finely adapted to all sections, south of a line 75 miles north of Indianapolis, and will give all growers great satisfaction in quality and productiveness. The names signed to the reports we publish below are among the wealthiest and most influential men in the neighborhood where this corn originated. All complete ad- L) , dresses are on file in our office: " I recommend F. P. W. D. Corn to all farmers as one of the best variety of white corn in this state." S. N. Clemens. " In the lead of all white corn in my county." Mount Branigan. " I cheerfully recommend F. P. W. D. Corn to any fanner in Indiana or any other state as one of the most productive varieties that can be grown in this country." Scott Curry.

The prize of $5.00 offered for the best 12 ears of corn raised in Marion, Johnson and Shelby Counties was awarded to First Premium White Dent. " I planted 15 acres of F. P. W. D. Corn spring and harvested 1,200 bushels. The sea- son was very dry or would have yielded much more. It matures early." C. H. Aile. " This is to certify that I, I. Ray, was expert judge at Indiana State Fair, in 1892 and that I awarded to Lee Trout the fin premium on his white corn shown against 20 competitors." I. Ray, Judge of Farm and Garden Products, "A dozen ears of the famous F. P. W. D. Corn are on exhibition here. They are extra fine. The yield was 80 bus. per acre, and if the season had not been so fearfully dry, would have been over 100 bus. per acre.
