Ears of 
" Reid's 
Yellow 
Dent " 
" Reid's Yellow Dent " leads our list of straight yellow cribbing corns. Not one 
year have we had enough of this variety to supply the demand for it. No better evi- 
dence could be given of its popularity. Reid's Yellow Dent is a first-rate, all-around, 
practical varietv of yellow corn. Ears are medium in length— cob is red and very thin. 
Grains are deep' Rows run verv regular from end to end— and are set very closely on 
cob— there couldn't be a more compact ear. Reid's Yellow Dent fills out well at both 
tip and butt. Few corns show such 
a big proportion of shelled grain to 
cob. Reid's YD is an early corn. 
Not quite early enough for the 
Northern exposed slopes of Penn- 
sylvania Mountain sections, but will 
mature nicely anywhere else in 
Pennsylvania, Dela- 
ware, Ohio, New 
Jersey, Virginia and 
West Virginia. It is 
suitable alike for 
land that is only 
moderately fertile, 
as well as for rich 
soils. 
Reid's Yellow Dent 
will produce a good solid 
ear and every stalk can 
be depended on for this result. 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 strictly a yellow 
corn— both shelled and on the ear. The fodder is medium to tall— it is leafy. This is desirable in case 
of prolonged drought. Reid's has been grown on the Hoffman Homestead Farm for many years with 
very good success . If your land is of the average kind— neither extremely rich nor extremely poor— 
and your season of average length, you need not hestitate to plant Reid's Yellow Dent. 
" Early Learning." This is the small-eared Early Leaming Corn — the earliest 
of our dent varieties— will mature in 90 days. The ears grow low down on the stalk. 
The color is a rich yellow. Ears taper somewhat with a tendency to coine to a point at 
the tip. This characteristic ofifends 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 neces- 
sarily 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. 
Early Leaming has a place where the season is short that cannot be filled by other 
dented varieties. See Price List. 
" Long's Champion Yello'w Dent." 
This variety will recommend it- 
self to those in search of large- 
eared, yellow, deep grained 
It is, indeed, a magnificent corn 
will please and profit the grow 
considering such varieties, 
tomers will please note that 
eared yellow corns recjuire 
land, more careful culture, : 
longer season than the smaller 
sorts. This is just the 
variety for the ambi- 
tious farmer who wants 
to do something big 
and unusual in corn 
growing. He can't de- 
pend on our seed alone
