(LANCASTER CO. SURE CROP) 
Says Wilbur Barkdoll, Mont Alto, Pa. 
Lancaster County “Sure Crop” 
There isn’t another single item in this catalog that has brought 
in so many good reports from its users as has this corn. . . . The 
above report is but one of a great many hundreds that customers 
have sent in to us. 
Lancaster County “Sure Crop.” One of the biggest money-makers 
that there is. That’s why it is called “Sure Crop.” Successful 
farmers have used this corn year after year because it produces 
good large ears of hard corn. It is a big producer. You get lots 
of ears. It fills the crib and there are very few nubbins. If you 
have a silo that needs filling, be sure to order Lancaster County 
“Sure Crop” and you won’t be disappointed. 
It Fills the Silo 
More folks are coming to believe that it pays to put a con¬ 
siderable quantity of corn as well as stalks into the silo and that 
preferably corn grains should be well glazed before cutting. 
Lancaster County “Sure Crop” is the ideal corn for ensilage. It 
will fill your silo quickly and easily. 
Some of the largest dairymen throughout Pennsylvania, New 
York, New Jersey, Ohio and adjoining states depend upon Hoff¬ 
man’s Lancaster County corn seed for their silos. They prefer it 
because it provides ensilage of rich feed value. 
Lancaster County “Sure Crop” Corn grows tall, handsome, 
leafy stalks. It develops early and is very hardy. It will withstand 
drought. It will develop corn well into the north. 
It Fills the Crib 
We don’t know of a better general-purpose corn both for husking 
and silage use than Lancaster County “Sure Crop.” Looks different 
from other varieties and is different. It does not conform to 
most Corn Show standards, but it will conform to your standards 
without a doubt because it is a real money-maker. 
As Good as Its Name . . . Always a Sure Crop 
Ears run 12-14-16 rows. Cob is thin. Grains are rather square. 
No lost space between rows. You get a bushel of corn out of 
66 to 68 pounds of ears. Rich yellow color. Tests show that 
this corn is richer in protein. It matures early. It will grow 
anywhere in Pennsylvania and Ohio except on very high locations. 
Lancaster County “Sure Crop” will grow almost anywhere. Of 
course, it responds to deep rich soil, but you will never be dis¬ 
appointed. You will always get a sure crop on ordinary soils. . . . 
Just average land where other crops would fail. Furthermore, it 
husks easily. You get a golden harvest of rich yellow, full-bodied 
kernels every time.
