HEMDERSOM'S TESTED FARM SEEPS 



Long's Champion^Kellow Dent Corn 



Here is a corn that yielded 160 bushels shelled corn per 

 acre and has yielded an average of 133 bushels per acre 

 for the last 10 years on a breadth of SO to 90 acres. 



EARS WEIGH 2 to 2 1 / 2 lbs. AT CRIBBING TIME 

 20 to 24 uniform rows of long, broad kernels 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and 

 selection by one of the most successful 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 Corn ever 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 the first week of May. There 

 is but a limited quantity of seed grown by the originator, which can be had through us. 

 Price, $2.25 per peck; $8.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $8.40 per bushel. (See engrav- 

 ing; also colored illustration on back cover of this catalogue. 



"I send you a photo showing a crop of Long's Champion Corn from your seed. From less than two 

 acres I filled a silo 10x26 feet. The Corn averaged 1J, feet high and was well eared." 



L. A. TERWILLIGER, Chenango Forks. Broome Co., N. Y. 

 "I wish to speak of your Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn. It was simply great." 



F. N. COLBERG. Cannon Falls, Minn. 

 "Last year I bought of you one peck of Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn and my experience with 

 it leads me to say that it more than warrants all you claim for it." Mr. E. A. PALM ER, Stockton, N.J. 



OTHEPv VARIETIES OF DENT CORN 



Plant 8 to 1 quarts per acre if in hills. Broadcast 2 bushels per acre. 



From all the varieties offered below, in lots of 10 bushels and upward, 

 deduct 10c. per bushel. 



QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE. (Pride of the 

 North.) This variety is valuable to grow 

 North as it matures early. Planted as late 

 as July 4th, it has fully matured by October 

 1st. The ears grow 8 to 10 inches in length, 

 from 14 to 16 rows, slightly tapering. The 

 kernels are closely set together on the cob, 

 light orange in color and make excellent 

 meal. Price, 30c. per qt.; $2.15 per peck; 

 $8.00 per bushel. 



LEAMING. Ears are of good size, set 

 low down, and nearly always grow two to 

 each stalk. Very small, red cob, with a 

 deep, long grain, of a rich golden color. 

 It matures early, and if planted not later 

 than the first of June, will generally ripen, 

 and be fit to husk and crib early in Sep- 

 tember. Price, 30c. per qt.; $2.15 per peck; 

 $8.00 per bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW. An early 

 variety, said to produce better results on 

 poor, thin or sandy soil than any other 

 variety, and is less affected by drought. 

 The grain is handsome yellow in color, with 

 white tips. Price, 30c. per qt. ; $2.15 per 

 peck; $8.00 per bushel. 



HICKORY KING. Has the largest grains 

 with the smallest, cob of any white Corn. The 

 stalks of strong, vigorous growth, generally 

 bear two good ears each. It is not, how- 

 ever, considered a safe crop north of Phila- 

 delphia. Will make more shelled Corn to a 

 given bulk of ears than any other variety. Price, 

 30c. per qt.; $2.15 per peck; $8.00 per bushel. 



EXTRA EARLY HURON. As early as 

 most of the Flint Corns, and may be grown 

 even in the most Northern States and in 

 Canada. The grain is somewhat narrow, 

 but long and deep, with small cob. Price, 

 30c. per qt.; $2.15 per peck; $8.00 per 

 bushel. 



EARLY MASTODON. (The Earliest 

 Large Dent Corn). Produces large ears for 

 an early variety. It grows strong at a me- 

 dium height, with broad, heavy leaves, and 

 makes a fine shelled Corn in appearance, 

 being purely Dent. Price, 30c. per qt.; 

 $2.15 per peck; $8.00 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. This Corn has 

 given great satisfaction. It is exceedingly 

 productive; a large proportion of the stalks 

 produce two fine ears. The ears are of 

 perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen 

 rows, and filled out ot the extreme end of 

 cob. The cobs are unusually small. The 

 richness of color and fine quality of grain 

 make it very superior for grinding into 

 meal. Price, 35c. per qt.; $2.25 per peck; 

 $8.50 per bushel. 



EARLY BUTLER. A cross from Pride of 

 the North. It has the smallest cob of any 

 Dent Corn in cultivation. It is also the 

 very earliest Dent Corn and is very profit- 

 able to grow. It is just the Dent Corn for 

 Northern farmers — grows quick and strong, 

 and has small cobs, very long grains, and 

 good-sized ears. Price, 30c. per qt.; $2.15 

 per peck; $8.00 per bushel.
