“LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP”—Continued 
Some of the largest dairymen throughout Pennsylvania, New 
York, New Jersey, Ohio and adjoining states depend upon Hoff¬ 
man's Lancaster County "Sure Crop” 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. 
“SURE CROP” 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 differ¬ 
ent from other varieties and is different. It conforms to show stand¬ 
ards. But 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. Lancaster County "Sure 
Crop” will grow almost anywhere. Of course, it responds to deep 
rich soil, but you will never be disappointed. You will always 
get a sure crop on ordinary soils. . . . Just average land where 
other crops would fail. Furthermore, it husks easily. You truly 
get a golden harvest of rich corn in this very popular variety— 
which undoubtedly when called "Sure Crop” was given the right 
name! 
“GOLDEN QUEEN” CORN 
Always a favorite here in southeastern Pennsylvania. Big ears. 
Full of rich, golden yellow corn. Has high feed value. A good- 
looking corn. Nice even rows. Medium sized grains. Tall and 
leafy. Many folks like it because it is a great prize-winner at the 
Corn Shows. 
“IMPROVED LEAMING” CORN 
Will thrive on any kind of soil. Just the kind of corn to plant 
on any kind of soil. You won’t be disappointed in this rich yellow 
corn. Wedge shaped grains that are very deep. Red cob. Medium 
sized, tapering ears. 14 to 18 rows to the ear. Thick stalks. Wide 
leaves. Excellent for fodder. This is not a tall corn. Improved 
Learning does well anywhere and everywhere; of course, it will do 
its best on good soil, but it will thrive on poor soils.

acres.” 
That’s what Dr. Chas. H. Peck, of New¬ 
town, Conn., got from his Hoffman 
Seed Corn. (Lancaster County Sure 
Crop.) 
★ 55 “ It might interest you to know 
that the Sure Crop corn seed 
that the writer purchased from you is 
coming along great. It stands about an 
average of 11 feet high. The most of 
the stalks would measure 2 inches in 
diameter and will give about 2 ears per 
stalk.” (Fall, 1934.)

corn from your Lancaster 
County Sure Crop and was well 
pleased with the seed purchased from 
you this spring.”
