STOKES' SEED CORN 



Attention is more and more being given to the careful selection and grading of Seed Corn, and very much 

 larger yields can be produced by care and selection of this seed in proper culture and tillage. The interest in 

 improved Seed Corn is attested by the various prize contests and Boys' Corn-raising Clubs over the country. 

 The varieties listed here are exceedingly and justly popular, and we have discontinued all others, feeling that 

 they were not worth while bothering with further, putting all our effort on improving and keeping to a high stand- 

 ard the few varieties that we list; and we feel positively assured that you cannot procure Seed Corn that will 

 give you finer results than the varieties listed below. It does not pay the farmer to leave his Seed Corn and simply 

 go to the crib and select a few good ears. The Seed Corn selection has to be done in the field, where the char- 

 acter of the hill and position and soil have to be considered in selecting the seed. In the vicinity of Philadelphia, 

 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in Burlington and Cumberland Counties in New Jersey, we believe that 

 the finest Seed Corn is grown that is produced anywhere in the United States. So far as our observation extends, 

 it far outclasses any quality of Corn that is raised in the so-called "Corn Belt" of the Middle West. We have no 

 desire to "knock" any section, as against another, but samples that have been sent to us from the West, soliciting 

 orders, were of such poor quality, in almost every case, that we did not consider them for a moment, our eastern- 

 grown Corn being superior to it in every way.

The 100-Day Bristol 



This valuable Field Corn grows steadily in reputation year by year. It is difficult to believe that a Corn 

 making the heavy growth of stalk and fodder which this does can mature its mag- 

 nificent ears in 100 days; but this it does regularly and has done for several years 

 past. The grain is a light yellow. The cob is small. It is easily husked and is a 

 desirable Corn in many ways. By mail, postpaid, lb. 30 cts., 3 lbs. 75 cts. ; by 

 freight or express (sacks included), pk. 50 cts., bus. $1.75; bags of 2 bus. $3.25; 

 10-bus. lots and over at $1.60 per bus. 



136 Improved Learning 



The Learning, in its various types, is probably more largely planted now than 

 any other Field Corn known. The ears are very handsome, of good size, with fair- 

 sized grains of a deep orange-color and small, 

 red cob. The stalks grow to medium size, not 

 large, with few suckers, slender and leafy, 

 making most excellent fodder, and usually 

 produce two good ears to a stalk. Ripens in 

 from 90 to 100 days and never fails to make 

 a good crop. Over 100 bushels per acre is not 

 an unusual crop for this Corn. It is also 

 adapted to a greater variety of soils than many, 

 producing unusually well on light land. By 

 freight or express (sacks included)., pk. 60 cts., 

 bus. $1.75, bag of 2 bus. $3.25; 10 bus. and over 

 at $1.60 per bus.

Stokes' Eureka Ensilage 



This is a very fine white Corn, with a large-sized, very 

 heavy, solid ear. Its close-set grains are well filled out at both 

 the butt and tip; cob medium size, very white. It grows a tremendous 

 stalk, 14 to 16 feet high, on strong land, frequently has two ears 

 to a stalk, and has the heaviest quantity of fodder in tons per acre of 

 any Corn that we have ever had any knowledge of, producing fre- 

 quently from 60 to 75 tons. We offer it without any qualifications for 

 ensilage use as being the best Corn we know of. Pk. 60 cts., bus. $2 

 10 bus. lots and over, $1.75 per bus.
