Genesee Giant Flint Corn 
The Largest Variety of Flint Corn in Existence 
The result of many years careful selection and breeding. 
Ears grow from 10 to 15 inches long. 
Dent varieties of corn yield heavier than the ordinary varieties of Flint 
Corn, and on that account most farmers prefer to raise dent instead of flint, 
but farmers who live in northern sections cannot grow dent varieties as the 
seasons are too short for them to ripen. The GENESEE GIANT will 
ripen even as far north as Maine and Vermont, and will yield almost as 
heavy as the ordinary varieties of dent corn. 
STALKS grow to a good height, are well filled with leaves, and make splendid 
fodder. THE EARS grow a considerable longer than the dent varieties, thus gain- 
ing in length what they lose in size. THE COLOR is a handsome golden yellow 
just the color desired by millers, so it 
Will Always Bring the Highest Market Price. 
Eight quarts is ample seed for an acre of corn so the extra expense 
for the seed is but slight and it takes but a small increase in yield to re- 
pay. No farmer who grows flint corn can afford not to try this wonder- 
ful variety. 
“Will it pay to plant your corn?” we hear someone say. Well, let’s 
sit right down and figure it out and see. Mr. R. Sherwood of Sanilac Co. , 
Mich., says, “Your corn gives two bushels to one of any other kind we 
can get.” Would it pay you to double the yield of your corn? Let’s 
see. One peck will plant an acre ; a peck of ordinary corn is worth 
about 38c, while a peck of GENESEE GIANT will cost you $ 
An acre of ordinary corn will yield say 50 bu. shelled corn •=- $75 co 
Cost of seed ------- .38 
Gross profit ------- $74.62 
Double the yield of corn for one acre - . - $150.00 
Cost of seed ..... 2.00 
Gross profit ..... $148.00 
Deducting value of ordinary crop ... 74.62 
Shows a net gain of .... $73.38 
on one acre, or $733.80 on a ten acre field. Does that pay ? 
‘‘Oh, well,” you say, “That’s an exceptional case.” Then take 
the case of P. A. Booth of Chittenden Co. , Vt. He got 7 S bushels of 
corn from 5 pounds of our seed and is selling it for $1.00 per peck. He 
paid $1.00 for the 5 pounds, which would make $300.00 from the $1.00 
investment. “Exceptional case, again,” you say. Granted, but the 
men who are planting our seed are getting just such exceptional yields 
right along. Wouldn’t it pay you to join them?
