soils it is perhaps the best variety to plant on our list. It will respond splendidly, 
making magnificent ears of yellow corn, deep in the grain and well filled. 
Long's Champion has a record with one of our customers of over 100 bushels of 
shelled corn per acre. (See Prices on page 10).

This variety is of a type different from any other in this list. It is yellow in 
appearance on the ear but the sides of the 
grains are red, which gives the corn a red 
or speckled appearance when shelled. Corns 
that shell red are good yielders for rough and 
read}' farming. 
This variety is one of those that will not 
conform very well to the standards set up in 
the shows. The ears are very long but not 
proportionately thick. There are only four- 
teen to twenty rows of grain and the rows are 
inclined to be curved rather than straight. 
The grains fill out well, both the butt and tip. 
They are not very long, but nearly- square, 
with the rows set so closely together that there 
is no waste space between them. There is not 
much ear, so that the proportion of shelled 
corn to ear is ver}' satisfactory. 
The value of this variety is in its abilit}' to 
produce a very good ear on every stalk in the 
field. We recommend it to growers in par- 
ticular who have been disappointed in their 
trial of various sorts of corn in soils that are 
only of average strength and under conditions 
where the best of culture could not be given. 
L,ancaster County Sure Crop is early and will mature in sections where other large 
eared varieties will have no chance at all. It husks very ea.s}- and is one of the best 
all around corns for rough and ready farming in this list. (See Prices on page 10).

ter County Sure Crop. A Mr. O'Donnell of Butler Co., Pa., writes "The corn I got from you last 
year made 114 bu. per acre." A Mr. Casper of Union Co., Pa., writes " I secured 142 bu. per acre 
on five acres." A customer from Philadelphia whose farm is in Montgomery Co., Pa., stated that 
he sent four ears of Lancaster County Sure Crop to Mr. W. Atlee Burpee, the seedsman, who replied 
that, " They are the best four ears of corn I have ever seen ; and if it is really Sure Crop Corn, it 
is certainly most magnificent."
