WOODBURN GOLDEN 
Variety YELLOW DENT 
Our seed corn was secured from Mr. Woodburn (in Champaign County) soon after it was introduced. We 
bought several of his entire crops and have carefully bred and selected until we can safely say it is one 
of the best producing varieties of good solid corn in Ohio today. Our experience is backed by many of the 
leading com growers of the State. It ripens 5-10 days later than Cash and together make an excellent, 
combination, both yielding heavy crops and the Cash maturing earlier gives you an opportunity to have it 
out of the way just in time for the Woodburn. 
The Standard Midseason Variety 
Woodburn has an accredited yield of 134.31 bushels corn per acre in Men’s 10-acre contest. Has been a 
consistent heavy yielder of good solid corn carrying highest feeding value. It is the standard mid-season corn. 
Large ears of golden yellow corn with big deep grain will always distinguish Woodburn from any other 
variety. So popular has it become that it has won a special class in practically all corn shows in Ohio and 
other states. The stalks are medium size, carry plenty of blades and the ears are about 4-4 on the stalk. 
Many stalks carry two ears measuring about 9 inches on average soil and larger in proportion to the fertility. 
Woodburn has never failed to produce a good yield for us and has won a permanent place on our farms. 
It will not disappoint you and may increase your yield many bushels per acre. See enclosed leaflet for prices. 
WARNING WARNING WARNING 
Corn carried more moisture this year than it has since the wet season, 1928, or perhaps back in 
1917. We have had several days when the temperature has registered zero or below. If it has not actually 
killed the corn germ it has so weakened it that a weak sprout will result. 
Our Seed Corn was protected in our Seed House from all cold weather. 
It has all the original vitality. Order your Seed Corn today before it is 
too late. 
Early Golden Surprise 
Will mature anywhere in the corn belt. A great deep grained high quality 
feeding corn. The cob is small and many times we have shelled 60 to 62 
pounds of shelled corn from 70 pounds of ears. The stalk is of medium 
size and stands very erect. There are a great number of blades which makes 
it valuable for feed. We recommend Golden Surprise where you want to hog 
on part of the field and allow the balance to stand. In fact, it fits in any 
program you may have because of its two outstanding characteristics, first 
being medium early and second a very heavy yielder. We are sure you will 
like Golden Surprise. See enclosed leaflet for prices. 
Lancaster Sure Crop 
For Main Crop and for the Silo too 
This variety, originally from Pennsylvania, is becoming so well known 
and so popular among all corn farmers that it is rapidly replacing many of 
Ohio's old favorite kinds. It grows a tall stalk with plenty of blades. Matures 
in about 105-110 days and is wonderful for ensilage. In comparative tests 
it has outyielded all kinds for green weight per acre except the very late 
ensilage varieties that will not mature except under extraordinary conditions. 
On our farm this last season it was not planted until May 30th. It grew 
vigorously and yielded around 75 bushels per acre average with many ears 
measuring 14 inches. This was an unusual season but it matured and was 
ready to crib by November 10th. See enclosed leaflet for prices.
