78 MICHELL’S SELECTED HAND PICKED FIELD CORN 
Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre in hills for shelled 
corn or for silo, or sow 1}^ to 2 bushels 
broadcast for fodder. 
Our strains of corn are not the common 
kinds usually found in abundance on the 
market; we give very careful attention to 
selected stock, in all lines of farm seeds. This 
is particularly true of field corn where re-selec¬ 
tion means the limit of crop with little or no 
increase in cost. Our stock is selected for size of 
ear and fodder, uniformity of kernel and the 
careful finish of the tip and butt, all of which 
means a considerable increase in production. 
Champion White Pearl. An immense 
yielder, maturing in about 115 days; kernels 
deep set and snowy white; the merits of this 
corn are surprising. 
Early Canada Flint (Eight Rowed). A medium 
broad grained variety, perfectly smooth on 
the end and very hard. Makes a desirable 
sort for late planting. The cobs are very thin 
when shelled; excellent for pigeon and 
poultry feed. 
Golden Beauty. The broad, massive golden 
yellow dented grains are arranged very 
evenly on gigantic ears. Fodder is enormous, 
often growing 12 feet high; matures late, but 
yields wonderful crops; desirable for silo and 
ensilage purposes. 
Improved Golden Dent. A high yielding 
variety of yellow dent noted for heavy pro¬ 
duction of both grain and silage. A hardy, 
resistant corn, producing a good ear on every stalk, with few 
nubbins. Ears large, rows straight, butts and tips well filled. 
Grains square cut, moderate in depth, with uniform dimpled 
dent, easily distinguishing it from other varieties. Fodder heavy 
and leafy, 10 to 12 ft. tall; on fertile soil capable of yielding 90 
bushels shelled corn or 20 tons silage per acre. 
Lancaster County Sure Crop. One of the best all-around 
general purpose varieties and has proved to be a most reliable 
and profitable corn for either husking or ensilage purposes. 
Grows quite tall; a sure cropper, producing a big ear on every 
stalk, very few nubbins; will yield good crops on land that is not 
so fertile; ears long, cob thin; top of grain rich yellow, when 
shelled the grain has a reddish yellow cast; matures early; 
husks very easily. 
Learning Early Dent. Beautiful long ears of deep, uniform 
kernels. The cob when shelled is very small. The stalks grow 
about 7 feet high, very leafy, excellent for fodder and on the 
average will produce two ears to the stalk; ripens in 90 days and 
occasionally crops 100 bushels to the acre. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent. A splendid late variety with an average 
record of 100 bushels per acre; small cob, deep bright yellow 
grain.

BROOM CORN 
Sow in May, about ten pounds per acre, in drills 3 feet apart. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand 3 inches apart in the row. 
Evergreen. Produces extremely straight brush retaining its 
green color well after ripening, thus commanding the highest 
market prices. Yields 1000 lbs. of salable brush per acre. 
Bushel 50 lbs. 20c. per lb. (by parcel post, 30c.); larger quantity, 
price upon application. 
STANLEY’S CROW REPELLANT 
Protects your corn during the period when it is most easily 
damaged, by ridding your crop of Crows, Pheasants, Black¬ 
birds and other corn pulling birds and animal pests; also 
protects seed from rotting in the ground; insures larger yields; 
is non-poisonous. Per Y 2 pt., 60c.; $1.00 per pt.; qt., $1.75. 
One pint is sufficient for two bushels of seed corn. 
Price for any of the above varieties of Field Corn 20c. per 
qt. (by parcel post, 30c.); larger quantity, price on application. 
BARLEY 
The straw is good for green feed or when cured as hay. The 
grain in the hull is excellent poultry feed. If wanted for hay it 
should be cut while the grain-head is in a soft or milky condition. 
Sow broadcast 1H to 2 bushels per acre from May 15th to July 1st. 
48 lbs. per bushel. Makes an ideal nurse crop for Spring sown 
Alfalfa, frequently yields 50 bushels per acre. 20c. per qt. (by 
parcel post, 30c.); larger quantity, price upon application. 
BEANS, SOJA OR SOY 
This valuable plant enriches the ground in which it is planted 
by the free nitrogen gathered from the air and which is deposited 
in the ground by the roots. Fodder is relished in either green or 
dry form by cattle. Sow 1 bushels per acre alone, or bushel 
Soja Beans with one bushel Cow Peas. Sow in drills 2J^ feet 
apart, any time from the first to the last of May. If wanted for 
silo it will be ready for harvest about the first of September, when 
the pods will be well filled; yields as high as 20 tons of green food 
per acre. 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Mammoth Yellow {Late). 20c. per qt. (by parcel post, 35c.). 
Wilson (Early). 20c. per qt. (by parcel post, 35c.); larger quantity, 
price upon application. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Japanese. In the locality of Philadelphia this is sown any time 
from June 1st to July 15th, one bushel of 48 lbs. broadcast 
to the acre. Makes a very fine quality of flour and is also 
largely used for poultry food. Buckwheat frequently yields as 
much as 80 bushels to the acre. 15c. per qt. (by parcel post, 
25c.); larger quantity, price upon application. 
CORN, WHITE KAFFIR (for Seed) 
The grain is used for feeding poultry and the fodder for 
cattle. Grows from 4 to 6 feet high, the grain being produced on 
the top of stalk in the shape of a brush; frequently as many as 
four heads of grain will be found on a single stalk. It usually ripens 
after the first few frosts; produces enormous crops. Can be sown 
as late as July at the rate of 10 lbs. per acre in drills. (Bu. 56 lbs.) 
15c. per lb. (by parcel post, 25c.); larger quantity, price upon 
application.

tion and prepaid.
