Seed Corn— Cribbing Varieties 
Raid's Yellow Dent 
Not one year have we had enough of this variety to supply the demand for it. Reid's 
Yellow Dent is a first-rate, all-around, practical variety of corn. Ears are medium in 
length. Grains are narrow and deep. Rows run regular from end to end. Reid's has a 
tendency to fill out well at both tip and butt. The cob is red and very thin. Few corns 
show such a big proportion of grain 
to cob as Reid's Yellow Dent. Reid's 
is early. Not early enough for the 
Northern exposed slopes of the Penn- 
sylvania mountain sections, but will 
mature nicely anywhere else in Penn- 
sylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, 
Virginia and West 
Virginia. Suitable for 
land that is only mod- 
erately fertile, as well 
as for rich soils. 
The strongest point 
in favor of "Reid's 
Yellow Dent" is its 
tendency to produce a 
fine ear on every stalk. 
This is an important 
test of any variety. 
No corn will yield 
heavily per acre unless each stalk can be depended upon to yield a creditable ear. Reid's 
is a strictly yellow corn both shelled and on the ear. The fodder of Reid's is medium to 
tall. It is leafy. This is desirable in case of prolonged drought. Reid's has been grown 
on "Hoffman Homestead Farm" a number of years with great success. If your land is 
of the average kind — neither extremely rich nor extremely poor — and your season of aver- 
age length, you need not hesitate to plant Reid's Yellow Dent. See Price List. 
White Cap Yellow Dent 
This is a large eared variety. The sides of the grains are yellow and the caps of the 
grains are white. This type of corn yields well even on thin land. It matures in Southern 
half of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and further South. Fodder is tall. We have 
many customers growing White Cap with great success. The grains are square, rather 
than pointed. The ears taper slightly and toward the tip of the ear are not so deep as 
in the center. This variety will stand rough farming and even neglect better than others. 
On fairly rich soils long and heavy ears will be produced. White Cap Yellow Dent is 
rightfully a very popular and productive variety of corn. See Price List. 
Golden Yellow Dent 
This is another very rich colored yellow corn. 
The ears are a trifle thicker and a trifle shorter 
than Reid's Yellow Dent. The grains are deep, 
somewhat pointed. The red cob is small. Golden 
Yellow Dent shells well. Seventy-two pounds of 
ears frequenty yield sixty-four pounds of grain. 
A good reliable yielder. Yields heavily and reli- 
ably. Fodder is medium to tall, and leafy. Our 
Golden Yellow Dent is grown on a farm adjoin- 
ing our own by a very careful farmer.
