Seed Corn 



GOLDEN BEAUTY (DENT) 



A large-eared, late-maturing, yellow corn which will prove to be of considerable value in 

 the warmer latitudes. It will not mature north of the fortieth parallel. For those who 

 wish a very large yellow ear, this variety is recommended. Price $4.00 per bushel. 



LONGFELLOW (FLINT) 



A flint variety which is highly recommended for sections that are north of the line where 

 dent corns will mature. The ear wiU average about fifteen inches long, is eight-rowed and 

 is deep orange in color. For all who desire com of this type, Longfellow is highly recom- 

 mended. Price $4.00 per bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT 



(100 DaylBristoI Strain) 



White Cap Yellow Dent is a well known dent corn. The strain 100 Day Bristol has been 

 developed in the neighborhood of Penn's Manor, near Bristol, Pennsylvania. This strain is 

 considerably smaller and somewhat earher than the standard White Cap Yellow Dent and 

 will mature in more northerly latitudes than the old standard. The kernel itself is light 

 yellow, the cap being white, thus giving the ears an almost pure white appearance. The 

 cob is rather small, running either white or bright red. The stalk of this variety is very heavy 

 and is splendid for fodder purposes. The ears are easily husked and will be found very 

 uniform in size and shape and in yield the variety will be fully up to standard requirements. 

 The stock we offer is real seed corn and the germination will be found very high. 



The seed we offer is shelled, and at the price quoted no charge is made for containers. 

 The prices do not include transportation charges. 



Notes taken at the meeting of the Corn Growers Association, 

 January 17th 



Flint corn will produce 15 to 20 bushels per acre less than Dent corn. 



White Cap Corn does well on poor soil. 



Boone Coimty White is earher than Johnson County. 



Reid's Yellow Dent needs good soil and season. 



Kickory King of two-ear type. " Poor soil " variety. 



There should be variety tests for every county. Seed work should be along this line. First, get 



the best strains. Second, improve on them. 

 The ideal corn is largest ear of early enough maturing habit to escape frost. 

 White Cap Yellow Dent is a small and late type. 

 Learning is not high yielder. 

 Ten varieties are necessary for Pennsylvania. 



Eight to ten percent, improvement is about all possible by selection. 



The above notes were taken from a talk by Prof. Nicholas Schmitz, "Profitable Corn Growing"
