FIELD CORN 



Hybrid Varieties 



With the introduction of the Hybrid Strains of Field Corn, there has 

 come a distinct advance in agricultural efficiency. Besides possessing distinct 

 disease resistant qualities, they have proven their superiority in out-yielding 

 other standard sorts by as much as from 15 to 30%. Our tests of the 

 varieties which we are offering here, have proven them to be outstanding. 



CORNELL No. 29-3 HYBRID DENT 



This variety was developed for ensilage on high elevations, and husking 

 use on lower elevations. It is from inbreds of Cornell 11, Bloody Butcher, 

 Onondaga White Cap. and Luces Favorite. 



The kernels lack uniformity of color and range from white to deep red 

 and ripens in 110 days. 



Grows tall and somewhat more leafy; matures as early as Cornell No. 11. 

 Has a stronger root system than the open pollinated varieties and therefore, 

 less trouble with lodging. Can be used both for ensilage and husking. This 

 variety has become popular throughout New York State and vicinity during 

 the past few vears. 



Price, qt. 60c; K peck $1.25; peck $2.00; bushel $6.75. 



U. S. No. 63 HYBRID DENT 



95 to 100 Days 



This is the earliest of all Hybrid Dent Corn — 10 days earlier than Lan- 

 caster Sure Crop. 



The stalk is medium tall stiff stalked and low eared. The ears are medium 

 sized 16 to 18 rowed and yields are fair in consideration of short season but 

 in most cases is sure to ripen. 



Price, qt. 60c; K peck, $1.00; 1 peck $1.80; bushel $6.50. 



U. S. No. 13 HYBRID DENT 



Matures in 115 Days 



This type is about 10 days later than Lancaster Sure Crop and it is a 

 high yielding variety, medium tall stalks, grain in deep and good for ensilage. 

 Throughout the East this is recommended for best results according to season. 



Price, qt. 60c; J4 peck $1.00; 1 peck $1.80; bushel $6.50. 



Flint Varieties 



EXTRA EARLY YELLOW 



It yields 75 to 85 bushels of shelled Corn per acre and can be shelled and 

 ground earlier than any other variety. It is especially adapted to Northern 

 conditions (cool nights and short summers) . and under favorable conditions 

 the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, fre- 

 quently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set 

 with large, broad kernels. The stalks are medium height. In ordinary 

 seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can be shelled and ground for 

 feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable 

 in sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. 



It is the earliest maturing corn for northern states. 



Price, qt. 45c; peck $1.25; bushel $3.75; 10 bushels $3.65 per bushel.

 Ears large sized and handsome. 10 to 12 inches long. Matures in 90 days. 

 Price, qt. 45c; peck $1.25; bushel $3.75.

CORN for FODDER and ENSILAGE 



Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre if in hills. 



SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is 

 very leafy and well adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this corn are 

 sold by feed and other stores which usually result in disappointment to the 

 farmer. There is no corn seed more difficult to cure or keep properly, and 

 much of it is kiln-dried, while large quantities have been stored in elevators 

 and gone through a sweating process which has destroyed the germ. The 

 stock we offer is carefully selected, sun-dried and of high germination. 

 Price, qt. 45c; peck, $1.25; bushel $3.75. 



IMPROVED EARLY HORSE TOOTH. Being nearly 

 two weeks earlier, this variety is better adapted for fodder and ensilage in 

 the Northern States than the ordinary Southern Horse Tooth. 



Price, qt. 45c; peck, $1.25; bushel $3.75. 



EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER. Fodder grown from the 

 Evergreen Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary field 

 varieties, being richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan is to 

 sow in rows 24 to 30 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 

 Price, qt. 40c; peck $1.10; bushel $3.50. 



SORGHUMS &c. FOR FEED 

 DOURA YELLOW BRANCHING. (Ydiow mho Maize) 



Earlier than the Rural Branching and of taller growth, often attaining a 

 height of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not stool out quite as much from the 

 ground, although it branches out from the joints. 



Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 



SORGHUM Or SUGAR CANE. Of great value for cut- 

 ting green and feeding green during hot weather in summer, when pastures 

 are apt to be burned up. Being a tropical plant, it makes its best growth 

 during just such weather, and cattle, horses and sheep relish it, and it may 

 be fed to them with safety. Sow in drills, 10 to 12 lbs. per acre; broadcast 

 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Should be cut when about 2 feet high, and will 

 yield several such cuttings. Earlier than the Orange and may be grown 

 even in Northern States. Cured in the same way as a heavy crop of Clover, 

 it makes an excellent quality of hay. 



EARLY AMBER. 



Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50; 25 lbs. $5.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 



EARLY ORANGE. Produces a larger and heavier growth than the 

 Amber but is later. 



Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50; 25 lbs. $5.00; 100 lbs. $15.00. 



BROOM CORN, EVERGREEN. Entirely free from all 

 crooked brush, and remains strictly green, consequently always commands 

 the highest market price. 



Price, lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.50; 25 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $20.00. 



KAFFIR CORN. WHITE. Excellent fodder plant 

 green or dried, and the grain is valuable for feeding poultry, 

 lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. 

 $15.00. 



RED. Taller than white; leafy and 



juicy; grain good for poultry. 



Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. 



^$2.00; 25 lbs. $4.50; 



100 lbs. $15.00.
