Improved Early Learning 
This is the genuine, original Early Learning Corn that was originated by J. S. Learning 
in Ohio many years ago. The earliest variety on our list — will mature in 90 days. The 
ears grow low down on the stalk. Matures very early, ripening next to the Flint Corns. 
The color is a rich yellow. Ears taper somewhat with a tendency to come to a point at 
the tip. This characteristic offends the corn experts, but the variety will please all who 
seek an extremely early corn that will yield well in sections where the season is necessarily 
short. This variety should do well even North of Pennsylvania, and if planted in time will 
mature even in higher altitudes. Where the season for growing corn is long, or of even 
moderate length, we would prefer some of the other varieties we offer. Improved Leaming 
has a place where the season is short that cannot be filled by other dented varieties. See 
Price List. 
Long's Champion Yellow Dent 
This variety will commend itself 
to those in search of large eared, 
yellow, deep grained, varieties. In 
considering such varieties, remember 
that all long-eared, deep-grained, yel- 
low sorts require careful culture, long 
seasons and moderately rich soils. If 
you can meet these requirements as to 
soil and season, then "Long's Cham- 
pion" is just the variety you should 
select. It is capable of 
producing immense 
yields of corn. "Long's 
Champion" should be 
planted further apart 
than smaller eared sorts. 
It should receive careful 
cultivation throughout 
the season. Our experience is that Long's Champion is one of the most profitable varieties 
on our list, making extraordinary yields when farmed by good farmers on good land. Ears 
of twelve inches or more in length are not at all unusual for our "Long's Champion." The 
ears are thick, as well as long. The rich, yellow grains are deep and a good ear is truly a 
mass of corn. Prices — See List. 
Johnson County White 
The only variety of pure white com that we offer. Johnson County White is almost 
perfect in its formation and wins more prizes in the big shows than any other corn. Besides 
being almost perfect in formation it is a large eared variety with very deep grains. The 
ears do not taper except near the tip. The fact that Johnson County White Corn has taken 
the Grand Champion Prize in four successive National Corn Shows is the best evidence 
of its uniformity of type and perfection of form and shape. 
This variety needs a comparatively long season. Don't plant it in Northern Penn- 
sylvania. Northern New Jersey, or other sections of same latitude. It will mature in all 
the Southern Counties of Pennsylvania as well as Southern half of Ohio. New Jersey, Indi- 
ana and States to the South. In this section it may be planted in soils of moderate fertility. 
Johnson County White will produce larger crops of corn than the large yellow eared vari- 
ties under same conditions. There is a mistaken belief that White Corns, or even White 
Cap Corns, do not possess nearly the same feeding value as yellow corns. There can be only 
the slightest difference in feeding value — not more than 1 per cent, at most, and this should 
not defer any one from giving trial to "Johnson County White," where the climate will 
permit early planting and late harvesting. Nearly all corns that have so large an ear as 
Johnson County White do not have a deep grain. In this respect, Johnson County White 
is an exception. A large ear of this variety !s almost a solid mass of corn of great weight 
and beauty. It is worthy of any farmer's attention. See Price List.
