ducing big yields on good land. A medium rough 
ear 10 to 12 inches long and bright yellow color. 
Grains are deep and closely set on small cob 14 
to 16 rowed. Stalks are sturdy and have a dis¬ 
tinct two-eared characteristic, making this variety 
an extra heavy yielder. Especially popular, due 
to its early maturity and drought resisting qual¬ 
ities. Planted during early spring for a quick 
green feed crop and a main crop for grain.

No. 448. Pamunkey Ensilage 
The Heaviest Producer of All Ensilage Corns 
Our Pamunkey Ensilage Corn is bred for 
height of stalk, breadth and thickness of foliage, 
as well as size and number of ears. It is of 
strong and vigorous growth, attaining a height 
of 13 to 15 feet, yields an unusually heavy 
growth of fodder and usually bears two ears to 
the stalk. The ears are 10 to 12 inches long, 
2 Yz to 2% inches in diameter, with a good depth 
of grain. In tonnage of ensilage we do not be¬ 
lieve it can be surpassed. It is a real silo filler, 
as proved by reports from dairymen and stock- 
men in every section of the country. We do not 
believe that any ensilage corn has ever been 
bred that can equal our Pamunkey Ensilage for 
height of stalk and tonnage. Let a portion of 
your planting the coming season be Pamunkey 
and prove to yourself how much superior it is 
to corns grown in your locality. At ensilage 
stage in 98 days.

No. 449. Hickory King 
A late maturing prolific variety, with very 
broad and firm flat grains. The ears average 
about 8 inches long. The cob is exceedingly 
small, not much larger than a man’s finger, and 
has 10 to 12 rows. Fine for meal and makes 
good roasting ears. It is especially recommended 
for high land and can be depended upon to pro¬ 
duce a crop on poor, thin land; on good land 
it bears two or three ears to the stalk. Our 
seed is very carefully grown; selected in the 
field, hand shelled, nubbed at both ends. Matures 
in 115 to 125 days.

the mountain section of North Carolina. Stalks 
are 10 to 12 feet tall, producing two ears, about 
10 inches long, to the stalk. The cob is small, 
about the size of Hickory King, containing 8 to 
10 rows of closely set grain. Matures in 110 to

No 451. Eureka Ensilage 
This is a medium late maturing corn, being fine 
for ensilage, as it is tall and leafy, 
growing 12 to 15 feet high and 
producing an enormous growth of 
fodder. This corn also ranks high 
as a field corn, being a heavy 
yielder, producing one to two ears 
to the stalk, the ears frequently 
over 12 inches. Eureka corn should 
be grown on bottom lands and low 
grounds, as it is a prolific corn 
and such corn should only be grown 
on good land. Matures in 110 to 
120 days.

Plant An Easily Marketed Crop 
We recommend the planting of a large quantity of 
yellow field corn by Western North Carolina farmers, 
as there is a splendid market for it at the Earle-Ches- 
terfield Mill Company, which uses large quantities of 
locally grown yellow corn in the manufacture of feed. 
Yellow corn is especially adapted to this section. It is 
very prolific and easily grown. Whether used for feed¬ 
ing your own stock or for the market, its extra food 
value is universally recognized.
