Longfellow Produced a Great Crop 



".4 year ago my husband ordered a bushel of your Longfellow Yellow Flint Corn. 

 I thought you might be interested in knowing what a success the crop was. He took 

 great pains with it, and though the year was not as good as usual, he has 275 bushels 

 from "2^4 acres. Some ears were fifteen inches long. All were well filled."

 "pops" into a fluffy, snow-white, palatable mass. There are two 

 distinct types of Pop Com, Rice and Pearl, although the Amber is
