--PETER HENDERSON &CO., NEW YORK: -- 
LONG'S. CHAMPION YELLOW DENT 
@ The highest achievement in Corn 
breeding. @ Has yielded 160: bushels 
of shelled Corn per acre. @ Average 
yield for 1904, 133 bushels per acre. 
@ Average yield for 10 years on 80 
to 90 acres, i25 bushels per acre. 
This King of Corns is without doubt 
the finest, the largest and the most 
productive Yellow Dent Corn ever pro- 
‘duced, and will be found to be of great 
value to the farmer, especially in 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 gener- 
ally planted. @ Long’s Champion 
Yellow Dent Corn is the climax of 
25 years of Corn breeding and selec- 
tion by one of the most successful and 
progressive farmers in the Pennsyl- 
ania corn belt. The breeding has been 
‘between two types, one with extra long 
—12 to 14 inch—ears, and the other a 
hheavier-built type with 10 to 12 inch 
ears. A selection is then made in the 
field of ideal plants, stalk, leaf, low 
upright ears, early. and uniform 
maturity, and other points being considered. After the selected plants 
have been cut and husked, every ear is individually examined and a 
final selection made of the largest perfect ears, weighing from 2 to 
2% \bs. at cribbing time, having small cobs, carrying from 20 to 24 
uniform ,;rows of long, broad and wide kernels, well developed 
-over the tip and close to the butt. These ears are carefully cured, 
then hand-shelled, the grain: screened. and hand-picked of all 
imperfect kernels, the tips having previously been discarded. 
This ideal seed Corn-is then stored in a cool, ‘dry, frost-proof 
place, experience having proven that seed Corm:so treated is 
-of a stronger vitality and of more rapid growth ind earlier 
than Corn that has been frozen.. This method* followed for 
many years has resulted in the production of the best field 
‘Corn in America, which we now offer under the title of 
-Long’s Champion Yellow Dent, the direct pedigree prod- 
uct of the above-bred and selected Corn, ‘andthe seed 
+that-we offer has been as faithfully selected:and treated 
-as that we have just described. Itis aluxuriant 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 half 
of May. There is but a _ limited 
quantity of seed grown by the origi- 
‘nator forsale, and cannot be offered 
by any other seedman or dealer. 
PRICE, $1.50 per peck; $5.00 per bushel; 
10-bushel lots, $4.90 per bushel. 
‘Messrs. Peter Henderson & Co.:—The - 
Champion Yellow Dent Corn I got from * 
you proved to be a.wonder. Farmers Y 
came for miles to see my crop. The R 
plants, though tall and leafy, root deep- 
.ly—for they stood up through a severe 
wind storm that knocked down much 
of my crop of another sort. The Cham- 
pion ripened inside of 110 days with 
-me. The ears and grain are both immense. 
_I exhibited twelve ears at the Mineola Fair 
and they attracted great attention and took the 
premium,”
