We have always made a specialty of Seed Corn, supplying our trade with only those varie¬ 
ties that experience has proved are most suitable for the climate of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and 
West Virginia. Our Seed Corn is carefully hand-picked and tipped and butted before it is 
shelled. We aim to have every variety true to name and of high germination. 
GOLDEN SURPRISE. An old-time variety maturing in 90 to 95 days. Because of quality, 
yield, and color, Golden Surprise is one of our most popular Corns. Ears are good size, with 
14 to 18 rows of long, light orange kernels. A crackerjack good Corn for the crib, and has a 
host of friends. 
SURE-CROP. The tremendous quantity of shelled Corn this variety produces to the acre 
surprises everyone who grows it. Generally there are two good ears to a stalk. The grain is 
very long—longer than any other—and the cob very thin. Sure-Crop has a rich, deep yellow 
grain, making it much desired by millers. The fodder grows from 8 to 10 feet high. It is an 
early Corn, ripening in 90 to 100 days. 
EARLY ORANGE YELLOW DENT. A 90-day Corn that is almost a giant, stalks ranging 
from 8 to 11 feet high. The ears are 8 to 10 inches long, with 16 rows on a red cob. One of 
the earliest maturing and prettiest yellow Dents in cultivation, which has made a reputation 
for yield and quality. 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH. A Yellow Dent variety, maturing in 90 days. Ears 8 to 10 inches 
long, sixteen rows on the ear, cob small, grain above medium size and closely set. One of the 
hardiest, and especially adapted to the northern planter; will mature farther north than 
any other Dent Corn. 
PATTON’S IMPROVED LEAMING. Our stock of this variety has been grown in Lawrence 
County, Pennsylvania, for nearly fifty years and has become well acclimated in western 
Pennsylvania. It produces a good-sized ear, with deep, broad grains that contain a large 
germ, and shoots out a large, vigorous sprout that makes a strong, quick growth at the start. 
Grows a very leafy fodder, making it one of the best varieties for silage. In a good season, 
Patton’s Improved Learning has yielded as high as 75 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. It 
matures in from 90 to 100 days. 
WHITE-CAP YELLOW DENT. An early sort which grows well on light soil; grain is yellow 
with white tip. Nearly as early as Pride of the North, maturing in from 90 to 95 days. Ears 
from 8 to 10 inches long, well filled, with sixteen or eighteen rows. 
ENSILAGE CORN 
SWEEPSTAKES PEDIGREE. This is not a variety, but a high-class hybrid sold under this 
trade name. It produces from 15 to 20 tons per acre of the highest quality ensilage. Crops 
of 25 to 35 tons of well-developed ears and stalks, grown from plantings made from May 25 
to June 12, have been reported to the producers for the past ten years in many states. It 
also makes high quality Corn for cribbing, and 180 to 240 bushels of ears of husked Corn 
have been produced several times. Do not plant more than 1 bushel of seed on 3 acres; better 
to do it on 4 acres. Plant rows not less than 334 feet apart, and drill kernels 10 to 16 inches 
apart in the row. 
EUREKA. (Virginia-grown.) The Eureka is a Virginia-bred Corn and originated a num¬ 
ber of years ago on the rich bottom of the James River Valley where it grows to perfection, 
often attaining a height of 16 to 18 feet. It is a vigorous grower, large stalks, with unusually 
heavy foliage, and produces from one to three ears to the stalk, according to the land. The 
ears average about 11 inches in length. Will produce more tons of ensilage to the acre than 
any other variety. 
BLUE MOUNTAIN. This Corn is grown at a high altitude in the Blue Ridge Mountains 
in Virginia, and makes an ideal ensilage Corn. Grows to a mammoth size, full of leaves, and 
has a big ear. It is a vigorous-growing Corn, often knee-high after 30 days from planting, 
and grows 14 to 16 feet high. Our seed is selected in the fall, properly taken care of, and 
always shows nearly a perfect germination test. 
LANCASTER COUNTY SURE-CROP. Lancaster County Sure-Crop holds first place in 
the estimation of many leading farmers. It is a yellow Corn, ears are very long and not 
proportionately thick. It grows quite tall, is very leafy and develops ears early. Some 
farmers claim that for husking purposes it is just as valuable a variety as it is for ensilage. 
VIRGINIA HORSE-TOOTH. The popular fodder Corn of the Southern States; from 12 to 
14 feet high, and stiff enough to stand up during severe storms. The seed is white, broad, 
and deep, with white cob. 
RED-COB. A tall-growing plant, with a quantity of side leaves, making it desirable for 
ensilage. A favorite with a great many growers. The grain is narrow and clear white.
