STOKES' SEED CORN 



How is this for Learning? 



Realizing the importance of this department, we are making every possible effort to select and improve our stocks of Seed Corn. 

 Corn cultivation is practised in all latitudes and under all conditions, and for a standard crop it is the most trustworthy of all our 

 farm crops. The three varieties which we list below are three of the very best in the entire list and will give satisfaction for prac- 

 tically every purpose. We feel positively sure that you cannot procure Seed Corn that will give you finer results than these va- 

 rieties. All our Seed Corn has 

 been selected in the field, where 

 we can secure the very best ears 

 and ears produced on the most 

 healthy and most idea] plants. 

 Crib selecting is a thing of the 

 past for the up-to-date farmer, 

 and yields from seed selected 

 from the crib show that it is a 

 very foolish method for any 

 farmer to practise. If you do not 

 care to trust seedsmen, or men 

 making a specialty of selecting 

 Seed Corn, the next best policy 

 for you is to select your own crop 

 direct from the field, saving only 

 the most desirable ears from 

 plants of ideal type and free 

 from all signs of disease. We can- 

 not urge our customers too 

 strongly to make a special effort 

 to get Seed Corn which will yield 

 them crops that they may be 

 proud of. W e are spending a 

 great deal of time and money in 

 order absolutely to guarantee 

 our customers against inferior 

 Seed Corn by this careful selec- 

 tion in the field, and corn-fields 

 sown with seed from our selected 

 stocks may be depended upon, if 

 given proper treatment, to be 

 prize-winners in any section of 

 the country.
