Hastings’ Rockdale Corn 
We are mighty well acquainted with Rockdale Corn. It's a Georgia variety and we have 
grown it and sold it for some 15 years. It’s a thoroughbred, the best of all the large-eared 
Southern field corns for main crop. Our illustration Is a little over half Its natural size and 
shows well the general appearance of the ears. Very flinty for a dent corn, medium early for 
main crop; cob small and white, with long slightly dented deep white grains. Occasionally a 
slightly red cob is found in it but this Is seldom. Ears very large, 10 to 13 inches long and weigh 
1 to llii pounds each. Fine for meal and for an all-round general purpose main crop corn with 
big ears it’s unexcelled. 
In the big drought In Texas six years ago it excelled all others. Mr. Geo. D. Gray, of Ken¬ 
dall Co., Texas, wrote us then: “I planted some of your Rockdale last spring during drought. 
Ground was so dry only 10 per cent could come up. What did come up grew like a thorough¬ 
bred and I have got more actual feed on one acre than my neighbors have on ten acres.” 
LouisB. Gallison, Bradford Co., Florida, writes: “Rockdale corn has a local reputation 
here. Three ears, laid end to end, measured 38 Inches. One of the ears shelled 210 grains over 
a dry quart measure.” 
W. H. Knight, Dare Co., N. Carolina, writes: “Rockdale corn bought of you is fine. Six 
ears shell out one gallon of corn,” 
E. H. Ezzell, Alabama, writes: “Your Rockdale corn is all you claim for it. I made a good 
crop and the largest ears I ever saw.” 
Mr, W. P. Henry, Union Co., Miss., won 1st, '2nd and 3rd prizes for the best single eats of 
corn, the prizes being offered by the New Albany Gazette. Variety—Hastings’ Rockdale Corn. 
We could go on and print pages of testimonials if we had the room. 
Rockdale has made many a corn record and it won’t disappoint you. For big ears of hard 
grain and a heavy crop there Is none equal to it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 
cents; postpaid. Peck, not prepaid, 66 cents; bushel, $2,25. 
K'ind fflPfimia HrilWni Has largest grains, with smallest cob of any white 
•tllCKOry lAing (UCUiyiQ Uiunll) com introduced. We have what Is known as the 
Broad Grain Hickory King, as shown In our Illustration, a single grain usually covering the en¬ 
tire cob. It Is a strong grower; the stalks take a firm hold on the ground and stand upright, re¬ 
sisting heavy wind storms without blowing down. In fairly good soil each stalk bears two and 
sometimes three medium sized ears. It yields good crops on light soils and Is one of the most 
productive and profitable white varieties for planting in the South. Ears fill out well and will 
make more shelled corn to bulk of ears than any other variety. It is good for roasting eats to 
follow Early White Dent; makes splendid quality of corn meal, and Is just the right sort for 
stock feeding, being almost all corn and very little cob. It matures fully In from 115 to 125 days. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents; postpaid. Peck, 65 cents; bushel, $'2.25. 
INSURE YOUR CORN CROP FOR 1911 
Why not insiare yonrself a first-class corn crop in 1911? We have been in the seed bnsiness 
a little over 21 years and have watched crops of other people as well as our own, and we have 
never, in that 21 years, seen a good corn crop made from either poor variety or poor seed. Un¬ 
less the seed is right yon have a mighty poor foundation for a crop. Now, jnst a word. Most 
acres of corn planted in the South don’t return over 25 cents per day for the labor put on them. 
Why? Poor cultivation is responsible for some, but poor or unbred seed is responsible for 
more. Hastings’ Prolific, Rockdale, Georgia Champion, Hickory King, Marlboro, any of them 
will increase your yield 10 to 25 bushels per acre. Less than 50 cents per acre is the cost of 
seed that will give yon 10 to 25 bushels more. Isn’t that cheap corn insurance? The Hastings 
varieties insure you larger yields of better com. Why? Because they are grown for seed 
purposes. You don’t find barren, unproductive stalks in our crops. Can yon say that of yours?
