100-Day Bristol Corn 



This Corn originated near Bristol, Pennsylvania, in the large Corn-growing section there. Since its introduction it has spread 

 to all parts of the country and has become a favorite wherever tried. It is on the order of a white cap yellow dent variety yielding, 

 however, larger crops and very uniform ears. The cob is rather small, allowing plenty of room for the development of the kernels. 

 The ear is filled out to the end of the cob better than practically any variety of corn. The kernels are also well set together leaving 

 no lost space whatever between grains. The stalk of this variety is heavy and coarse in growth, but the ears mature in about 100 

 days. The early maturity has been one of the chief factors desired in its development. Farmers desiring to put wheat after Corn 

 cannot afford to have a late-maturing variety. 100-Day Bristol, if planted at the proper time, allows plenty of time for taking off 

 the Corn crop before the wheat is sown. The kernel of this variety is a light yellow, with a white cap. The ears are easily husked 

 and are very uniform in size and shape. This variety of Seed Corn is destined to displace many of the older and smaller-yielding 

 varieties, and we cannot too strongly recommend 100-Day Bristol to every customer. Qt. 15 cts., y2pk. 40 cts., pk. 75 cts., bus. $2.25. 

 In lots of 6 bus. or more, $2 per bus. 



Stokes' Eureka Ensilage 



For ensilage purposes we recommend this variety to be the most satisfactory. The stalks grow from 12 to 15 feet in height, bear- 

 ing a large number of leaves and a tremendous amount of fibrous material for the silo. The kernels are very closely set and well filled 

 out at butt and tip. The ejJrs are large and very heavy. The cobs are of medium size, white in color, and contain deep, well-shaped 

 kernels. This variety very frequently grows two ears to the stalk and yields a tremendous amount of ensilage to the acre. Sixty to 

 seventy-five tons is not an over-estimate, when soil and season are suited for its development. We have selected and bred this variety 

 with the sole purpose of producing Corn for the silo that cannot be surpassed by any. We believe it to be the very best for this 

 purpose of the entire list of Seed Corns now planted for silo purposes. If you are not already acquainted with its productiveness we 

 should like to have you try some of it along with the variety which you have been using in the past. Qt. 10 cts., Vzpk. 35 Cts., pk. 

 60 Cts., bus. $2. In lots of 6 bus. or more, $1.75 per bus. 



Improved Learning 



The Learning variety, with its various types and improvements, has become the most largely planted of all Field Corns. The 

 Teaming seed which we offer, we believe, is the best type of all the different strains, and besides this we have spent a great deal of 

 time growing, selecting and harvesting only the best ears from the entire crop. We do not claim it to be perfect, but believe it to 

 Le developed to as near an ideal type as it is possible to get at the present stage of our improvement work. The ears are of very 

 good size, handsome in appearance and exceptionally uniform in length and shape. The cob is medium sized, containing grains of 

 a deep orange-color, set closely on the cob. The stalks are medium in size and do not sucker to any extent. Two fair-sized, uniform 



ears are not at all uncommon to a stalk. Learning is suited to all 

 varieties of soil, and matures in from 90 to 100 days. Where special 

 care and suitable soil are procurable, 150 bushels to the acre are not at 

 all out of the way for this variety. If our customers desire the very best 

 Leaming seed which it is possible to breed, we offer this to them with 

 confidence that it will not disappoint in any way. The illustration 

 gives a very good idea of the shape and general appearance of the 

 ears. Qt. 15 cts., y2pk. 35 cts., pk. 65 cts., bus. $2. In lots of 6 bus. 

 or over, $1.75 per bus. 



Seed Corn ordered in quantities of one-half bushel or over is shipped 

 at purchaser's expense. On purchases of one bushel or over, buyer should 

 add 22 cts. extra for every two-bushel seamless bag needed to fill the order.
