A NEW FLINT CORN fVSSSSiF&SP) 



Allison's ESS? White Flint 



This corn has been grown and selected on the Knapp Farm, Rockland County, N. Y., for a 

 number of rears. It is a great improvement on the Eight Rowed White Flint, the ears measuring 

 from 12 to 15 inches in length and are invariably Twelve Rowed They are well covered with 

 smooth broad rich ivory colored kernels from butt to tip. The stalks under good cultivation 

 grow to an average height of 10 feet and are very leafy, making excellent fodder. The yield is 

 from 80 to 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre. 



Wherever a large eared Dent Corn fails to ripen we would recommend the planting of this variety. 

 It requires a little longer to mature than the Eight Rowed Flint varieties because the size of the 

 ear and '.-iela of grain is much larger. 



There has been but a limited quantity of seed grown by the originator, for sale, and it cannot be 

 offered by any other seedsman or dealer. 



Price $1.75 per peck, $6.00 per bushel, 10-bushel lots at $5.90. 



"My son, who is under 15 years old, entered the 

 Warren County Corn Growers' contest with one acre of 

 ground, did all the work himself, after the ground was 

 plowed, and raised 244 bushels of ear corn or 120.88 

 bushels of shelled corn. He raised it from the seed he 

 bought from you last spring — Long's Champion Yellow 

 Dent." W. M. VOLLEXTIXE, Irvine, Pa. 



Extra Early Yellow Flint Corn 



This is a valuable addition to the Flint Varieties of Field Corn. It is the earliest variety in 

 existence and especially adapted to Northern conditions (cool nights and short summers) and under 

 favorable conditions the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, frequently 

 measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set with large broad kernels. The 

 stalks are of medium height. In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can be shelled 

 and ground for feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable in 

 sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. With good cultivation Extra 

 Early Yellow Flint will yield 90 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that it is an eight- 

 rowed early sort this is an excellent yield. Specially recommended for planting in northern New 

 York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Price, $1.50 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10 bushels at $5.40. 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn 



For the last 15 years on a section of 90 acres this Com has yielded an average of 133 

 bushels of Shelled Corn per acre and has yielded as high as 160 bushels. 



This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the 1-rgest and the most productive Yellow Dent 

 Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially in the Midde 

 and Eastern States, where from 120 to 130 days of good Corn growing weather can be relied upon; 

 on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can be ob- 

 tained from the average old-type Corns generally planted. 



Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, 

 one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn Belt. 



The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 

 20 to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant 

 grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed 

 to mature by September 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited 

 quantity of seed for sale, which can only be had through us. (See engraving.) 



Price, $1.50 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $5.40 per bushel. 



Henderson's Eureka Yellow Dent Corn i2a3«r3 



One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder — 150 bushels 

 of shelled Corn per acre is not unusual. The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of 

 them bearing two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches 

 long, with small red cob covered full, and over both butt and tip ends with 18 to 22 even rows of 

 large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow color. It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, but, 

 of course, does not mature as quickly as the small early Dent and Flint varieties, but where 100 

 to 110 days of "Corn weather" are assured, it is the Corn to grow. It gives unqualified satisfaction 

 from New Jersey to Ohio and south, but north of that latitude we do not advise planting it unless 

 in favored localities. Price, $1.50 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $5.40 per bushel.
