The Wonderful Maryland Twin Corn 



Mr. Hall, the introducer of whom I purchased corn says, **In 1910 it produced 

 110 bushels per acre; in 1911, 96 bushels per acre and it was a very dry year; in 

 1912, 112 3-8 bushels per acre; in 1913, 100 bushels per acre; in 1914, 75 bushels 

 per acre. All the above yields were made without manure or fertilizer, 



I fully expected to realize my ambition in 1914 by getting 125 bushels per acre, 

 but instead I got the poorest yield I have ever had, owing to weather conditions. 

 I did not get it planted as early as I should, and it was the most unfavorable sea- 

 son since I have been planting this corn; just at the time this corn needed moisture 

 the most to fill out the ears we had the hottest and dryest weather of the season. 

 All varieties of corn that were planted early in this section the past year made 

 much larger yields than those planted late. The farmers that succeeded in getting 

 from 25 to 35 bushels per acre were those that planted early. Medium and late 

 crops produced from 15 to 20 bushels per acre, so you can see that 75 bushels of 

 this wonderful variety is indeed wonderful and shows the merits of this variety. 



The foliage is abundant, leaves thick, broad and long; makes more fodder by 

 one third, of the finest quality than any other variety of corn I have yet seen. 

 Unexcelled for ensilage. It grows from 10 to 12 feet high and has from 2 to 4 ears 

 on a single stalk. Ears from 7 to 11 inches long. The kernels are a nice even size, 

 medium hard, good keeper, an excellent corn for milling, the meal from this corn 

 being of the very finest quality and unexcelled for making corn flakes of any kind. 

 The corn shells much better than any other variety of corn. The ears have 12 to 

 18 rows of deep kernels around a small white cob, compact and solid, very little 

 air space, grains filled well out to the end of the cob. Grows well on light or heavy 

 soil. Stalks strong and will mature in 110 to 115 days," 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel; $5.50 for 2 bushels. 



Improved Farmers' Favorite Golden Dent. Light golden color and 

 one of the best varieties of ye 1 )w corn ever grown. The cob carries a large 

 amount of corn, the butts and tips are practically well covered with long, broad 

 grains, grows very rapid and makes excellent ensilage. The ears are from 8 to 10 

 inches long, with 16 to 20 rows. The ears are large, the grain deep and broad. 

 Cob red, medium size, ears are well set, 3 to 3 1-2 feet above ground. By careful 

 selection we have bred out the barren stalk and a large percentage of the stalks 

 have 2 ears. This corn, with a favorable season and soil will produce 80 to 100 

 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Produces a good crop on medium soils. 



Price, same as above. 



Dibble's Russet Potato 



THE BEST MAIN CROP VARIETY 



Introduced in 1912 by Edward F, Dibble of New York, who says, "If you could 

 find a late crop pbtato with such a robust habit of growth that the rich, dark green 

 vines covered the ground even when planted three feet apart each way, and that 

 in a dry season, and these luxuriant vines were free from blight and not bothered 

 with bugs, you would say that you had found a valuable variety. Then, if when 

 you came to harvest the crop, you found under each hill six, eight, ten, and even 

 twelve large-sized, round, white tubers, tubers as large and shapely as those of 

 the Rurals, Carmans or Raleighs, but twice or three times as many per hill, tubers 

 completely covered with a beautiful russet skin, and tubers which, whether you 

 baked or boiled them, upon tasting, you at once pronounced 'the best potato you 

 ever ate,' you would exclaim: 'This is the best potato I ever saw,' Dibbles Rus- 

 set fits the above description in every particular," I want each one of my custo- 

 mers, who raises potatoes, either for home use or market to try this excellent 

 potato this season. Place your order early and stock will be kept until wanted. 



Price, $3.00 per barrel; $1.60 per bushel; $1.00 per half bushel; 60c per peck.
