Cornell No. 11 Corn 
Page’s High-Bred Seed Corn 
Page’s High-Bred Seed Corn is largely grown from our own stock seed 
under our own supervision, and the descriptions, for the most part, are 
made from our own observations. The varieties listed are those for which 
we have the most demand. We exercise due care in growing, selecting, 
drying, and recleaning our Seed Corn, testing all stocks for vitality, 
moisture and purity, which is the nearest approach to crop-insurance that 
can be offered. Good Seed Corn cannot be produced as cheaply as common 
milling Corn. It is poor economy to sacrifice quality for a little difference 
in price. 
EARLY DENT VARIETIES 
Bloody Butcher. An early-maturing Corn, ordinarily ready for the silo 
in 80 to 90 days. Grain is of a reddish color, produced on slender ears 
8 to 12 inches long. Quite dependable as a husking variety in many 
of our eastern states. 
Cornell No. 11. Not as heavy in stalk-production as the later varieties, 
but highly recommended for the silo in sections with elevations of 1000 
feet or more. It produces an abundance of ears 9 to 11 inches long, on 
stalks 7 to 8 feet high. Grain is bright yellow. 
Early August. Stalks 7 to 9 feet high. Ears 9 to 10 inches long. Grain 
short, red, tipped with white. Readily matures in northern New England. 
Largely used for ensilage in sections of high altitude. 
Early Triumph. A distinct cross between a Flint and a Dent variety. Early 
crops have been harvested as far north as the St. Lawrence River. 
Largely used for ensilage in sections with short growing seasons. Grain 
a bright yellow. 
Luce’s Favorite. (Northern-grown.) One of the leading early ensilage 
varieties. Will mature in the average year in most of our eastern sec¬ 
tions. Stalks 10 to 12 feet high. Ears 10 to 12 inches long, 8-rowed; 
broad, flint-shaped, yellow kernels. 
Golden Glow. An early Dent variety growing 8 to 10 feet high, bearing 
ears 6 to 9 inches long, with deep golden yellow kernels. Is in good 
demand as an ensilage variety. 
Smoky Dent. One of the earliest Dent Corns, often maturing in 80 days. 
An excellent variety for sections visited by early frosts. Stalks 7 to 
8 feet tall, generally bearing two ears 8 to 10 inches long; kernels smoky 
red. Is growing in popular favor each year. 
SECOND-EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Eureka. A large-growing white Dent variety much earlier than the 
True Virginia Eureka. We can recommend it as a profitable sort where 
heavy tonnage is desired. 
Early Marvel. An early selection from our West Branch Sweepstakes. 
It is considered a 90-day variety although it has produced Corn in a 
glazed state in 80 days from planting. Stalks 11 to 12 feet tall. Foliage 
heavy. Ears 10 to 14 inches long, with 12 to 16 rows of reddish cast kernels. 
Produces a high percentage of dry matter and an abundance of grain.
