Worcester County Sweepstakes 
It is a big yellow Dent Corn, stalks very large, l l /i tq 2 inches 
in diameter, growing 12 to 15 feet high, foliage is long, broad 
and heavy, starting well down to the ground with an abundance of 
leaves and produces 15 to 25 tons per acre. It will mature in from 
75 to 100 days in this latitude when ready for the silo, carries an 
exceptionally heavy crop of ears in the milk stage, making the 
variety ideal for this purpose. V 2 pk., 40c; pk., 65c; bu., #2.40; 
10 bu. or over, #2.30 per bu. 
Improved Learning 
The True Improved Learning which we offer is a pure, fixed, 
and distinct variety, having been bred for earliness of maturity, 
size, shape and color, also for the amount of grain that each ear 
will produce. It ranks as one of the early dent corns, has a very 
heavy stalk growing 12 or 13 feet high and very leafy. The ears 
are 8 to 10 inches long, filled with medium sized but deep kernels. 
Pk., 55c; bu., #2.00; 10 bu. or over, #1.90 per bu. 
Early Smoky Dent 
A Dent Corn That Can be Grown in This Latitude for Grain. 
It is a very hardy grower and prolific yielder for so early a corn. 
This corn has nice leafy stalks, averaging 8 feet in height, which 
very often yields 2 nice cars, measuring 8 to 10 inches in length, 
well filled with a good sound kernel of a dark red shade, tipped 
with pure white, making it a very handsome corn in appearance. 
V 2 pk., 35c; pk., 55c; bu., #2.00. 
Sheffield World’s Prize Flint 
The ear of this corn haa^ a very compact form, usually well 
capped at the tip, similar to the Improved Canada. The average 
length of the ear is 8 to 8’/2 inches, the kernels are very broad, 
and of dark color. This corn exceeds in proportion of corn to 
cob any other variety. 
Owing to the fact that Sheffield Corn will mature in a short 
season and also give a minimum quantity of forage, it is being 
used quite generally for silage in the states of New Hampshire and 
Vermont. l/ 2 pk-, 40c; pk., 65c; bu., #2.50. 
Early Canada Flint 
Improved strain. This strain is in most respects identical with 
the original, but the ears are longer and stalks are of slightly larger 
growth. Ears of the original are about 6 inches in length while of 
this strain they are about 2 inches longer, and of similar or nearly 
identical strains known as Early Greenfield, Deerfield and Connec¬ 
ticut Valley, ears are often 9 inches or longer. V 2 pk., 40c; pk., 
65c; bu., #2.50. 
Sanford White Flint 
It is an 8-rowed white flint variety, the ->opular type in Rhode 
Island, being cultivated there almost to the exclusion of the yellow 
flint. The ear of the strain which is more generally grown there 
and which we offer as the Rhode Island strain, is of about the same 
size as the Improved Canada, resembles it very closely, except in 
color, having the same broad kernel and well-filled tip and ripens 
with or very close to it. The variety is rather more leafy than the 
other flint varieties! which is doubtless the reason for its popularity 
for ensilage in the northern part of New England. V 2 pk., 40c; pk., 
65c; bu., #2.50. 
Longfellow Flint 
This, for a long time, has been very popular in southern New 
England. Ears are 8-rowed and of remarkable length—12 to 14 
inches, with occasionally one 15 inches. Stalks are considerably 
taller than the Improved Canada, but not so large but that they 
make excellent and easily handled dry stover. J /2 pk., 40c; pk., 65c; 
bu., #2.50. 
Sweet Fodder 
Unexcelled for cutting green and feeding to stock. It should be 
included in all soiling schedules. 10 lbs., #1.00; 100 lbs., #7.50. 
Ross’ Genuine Eureka Ensilage Corn 
Outstanding as the Heaviest Producer of Silage 
Material—It Pays to Plant the Best. 
Yield and quality are the most important things to 
consider when selecting corn for silage. This wonderful 
product has been the farmer’s friend for over forty-two 
years. 
Here is a variety of silage corn that surpasses all 
other. Forty-two years of undisputed leadership. Gen¬ 
uine Eureka Corn has always given a maximum yield 
to the farmer—whether soils are light or heavy, the 
deep-rooted nature is a characteristic of Eureka Corn 
that responds quickly to all conditions. 
Fourteen to nineteen feet Ross Eureka Ensilage Corn 
is your assurance. 
The astonishing yield of seventy tons and eight hun¬ 
dred pounds of silage fodder per acre in Michigan in 
1911 still has not been beaten. In the southern states 
where the season is long, Eureka Corn will mature and 
the enormous ears produce a heavy crop of ripened 
grain. In the central states it will not mature for grain 
except in unusual seasons, but for silage material it 
produces a tremendous amount of green corn with ears 
in the milk stage. Our Canadian friends in Ontario, are 
loud in their praise of Ross’ Genuine Eureka and 
Eureka Corn has become the popular variety, where 
quantity and quality are paramount. 
Hardy and rugged characteristics; Eureka Corn germinates 
surprisingly well in cold, wet springs, and today farmers every¬ 
where heartily approve planting the Ross Genuine variety of 
Eureka Corn. 
The Eureka is our own in¬ 
troduction, being first placed 
on the market by us forty-six 
years ago and we still offer 
the genuine Eureka, which is 
far superior to many varieties 
which are sold under this 
same name. For the protec¬ 
tion of the planter, the Eure¬ 
ka comes put up in trade 
marked bags and our sugges¬ 
tion is that you accept your 
Eureka Seed Corn in no other 
package. 
The trade mark, “Eureka 
Corn,’’ is printed on every 
bag for your protection. 
Don’t take chances on an in¬ 
ferior product. There is noth¬ 
ing just as good, and you take 
chances of losing as many 
dollars as you save cents.
