Rapidly Gaining Favor 
We have had so many calls for this 
Corn, we decided to offer it in our Cata¬ 
log. It is one of the leading varieties of 
yellow corn grown in northern Ohio and 
Indiana. Farmers in northern part of 
Illinois who have grown this variety were 
well pleased. The Ohio Experiment Station 
recommends It highly as a heavy yielder and 
its ability to get out of the way of early 
frost. It ripened and fully matured this past 
year in the northern part of the Corn Belt, 
where Reid’s Yellow Dent and other well 
known varieties failed. A dependable variety 
and heavy producer for the cattle feeders. 
Also profitable corn for the market.

low Dent, running from 9 to 11 inches long. 
The grams are deep yellow color. The cob 
is medium size and has fairly long kernels.
