( ORN acre and has yielded an average of 133 bushels per acre 
for the last 10 years on a breadth of 80 to 90 acres 
EARS WEIGH 2 to 22 LBS. AT CRIBBING TIME 
20 to 24 uniform rows of long, broad kernels. . 
A luxuriant grower 12 to 15 feet high 
Long’s Champion Yellow Dent Corn is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by 
one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania corn belt. 
Will mature in the latitude of New York if planted during the first week of May. Early 
planting is essential, even though there may be some risk of injury by the frost, which could 
be overcome on emergency by replanting. This King of Corns is without: doubt the finest, the 
largest and the most productive Yellow Dent Cor#ivever produced, and will be found to be-of* 
great value to the farmer, especially in the corn belt of the Middle and Eastern States, on 
account of its immense yield, at least 25% and often 50% more than can be obtained from 
the average old-type corns generally planted. 
It is‘a luxuriant grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., has 
never failed to mature by September 20th when planted during the first week of May. 
There is but a limited quantity of seéd grown by the originator, which can be had 
through us. (See cut). i 
Price, $1.10 per peck; $3.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $3.40 per bushel. 
LONG’S CHAMPION CONQUERS 
“The enclosed photograph shows a picture of myself standing amongst my bumper crop of Long's 
Chambicn Corn. As you will notice, it ts at least 14 ft. high. The ears are immense, fully 14 in. long, 
well developed at the tip, and growing close to the butt. 
The crop ripened inside of 110 days, and certainly yielded one-third more to the acre than any 
corn I ever grew before on my farm."’ JOHN LYONS, Alitorney-at-Law, 
Rockville Centre, L. 1. 
FEW WORDS, BUT GOOD NEWS

“Last year I bought of you one peck of Bong's Champion Yellow Dent Corn and my ex- 
perience with it leads me to say that it more than warrants all you claim for it.”
