Seed Corn 



Sl<li« Seeds 



Corn is grown for two distinct purposes, grain or silage. Farmers 

 should be extremely careful to experiment only on small plots with 

 varieties of com which are unknown in their district. This crop, 

 above all others, must be suited to the climatic conditions for if 

 it is too late in maturing or if it is not properly acchmated, it may 

 cause very heav}- losses. The flint corns, of course, will mature 

 within anj' reasonable distance north. The dent corns are only 

 suitable in the North for silage purposes. However, it must be 

 remembered that the value of any silage com is directh' in proportion 

 to the development of the ear. Therefore, we highly recommend, 

 for districts in the latitude of Central New York, Teaming Corn for 

 ensilage purposes. We beUeve upon inquiry you will find that your 

 county agent and j'our state experiment station ■nill 'stand back of 

 this statement. Eureka Ensilage, which corresponds very closely 

 to the Boone County TSTute, although gro\%ing a large stalk, is 

 considerabty later than the Teaming in maturing its ear and, there- 

 fore, will not prove as suitable for ensilage purposes. In making 

 your selection, it is well to be guided by the varietj' which is usuaUj' 

 growTi in your locahty. In case some other variety is grown which 

 is not listed, we should be glad to secure it for you, if possible. 



IMPROVED TEAMING 



A dent com, originally coming from a Mr. Teaming, an Ohio 

 farmer. It is deep yellow in color and because of the depth of the 

 grain it will shell very heavil3^ Teaming is recommended either for 

 grain or for silage purposes. It is particular^ recommended for 

 grain purposes along the northern hne where dent varieties will 

 mature. This, in the Eastern States, is shghtly north of the fortieth 

 parallel. The stalks of Teaming are medium in size and will with- 



stand any reasonable wind. The ears are unif ormly medivmi in 

 size and the variety is suited to all classes of soils. In the latitude 

 of Central New Jerse}^ it will mature in about one himdred days. 



The seed we offer is shelled, and at the price quoted no charge is 

 made for containers. Price per bushel S4.00, which does not include 

 transportation charges. 



LIVINGSTON'S GOLDEN SURPRISE 



A variety introduced by Livingston about twentj- j'ears ago. 

 In color it is a dark orange red and in season it is extremely early, 

 ripening "snthin one hundred days in this latitude. The stock we 

 offer has been grown here in Burlington Count}' and is the result of 

 over fifteen years' selection. The ear is medium in size, the grains 

 being verj^ deep, shelling heavilj', perhaps in a larger proportion 

 than any other varietj^ in cultivation. The seed has been grown, 

 harvested and cured imder ideal conditions and is thoroughly 

 recommended. Livingston's Golden Surprise will prove to be a 

 fodder variety of convenient length and we feel very sxire will give 

 excellent satisfaction. Price §4.00 per bu. 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE (DENT) 

 A variety maturing in about one hundred and twenty days in 

 this latitude. It cannot be recommended for the more northerly 

 latitudes except for ensilage purposes as the ear will not mature. 

 This is one of the largest eared corns in existence and the white kernel 

 makes it very desirable for certain purposes. It is not recommended 

 as a grain variety for locaUties north of the fortieth parallel. Price 

 $4.00 per bu.
