FLINT VARIETIES 
Early Canada. Very early, ears medium size, usu¬ 
ally ripens in August. Ripens well in the North¬ 
ern States; a popular New England variety. Qt. 
25c., pk. 75c., bus. $2.25. 
Longfellow. Very largely grown in New England; 
is eight-rowed, yellow kernel and good size. Cob is 
quite small and ears are from 10 to 15 inches long. 
Ripens excellently in Massachusetts. Qt. 20c., pk. 
60c., bus. $2.25. 
Sanford. It is early, ears large with a small cob, kernel 
white. Very prolific and excellent quality. In some 
sections grown largely for ensilage Corn on account of 
its foliage. Qt. 20c., pk. 60c., bus. $2.25. 
Stickney’s. The Prize Winner Strain. This Corn 
won at the National Corn Show, 1909, the first prize 
for the best ten ears of Flint Corn grown. At the New 
England Corn Exposition, 1910, it was awarded sweep- 
stakes for the best single ear of Flint Corn, and for the 
best ten stalks exhibited, also several other first prizes 
in the different classes. On a measured field of nine 
acres the harvest was 819*% bushels, an average of over 
ninety-one bushels per acre. The ear is much thicker 
than the Longfellow, cob is small, usually eight rows 
of kernels, although sometimes it has twelve rows. 
The stalks grow about as high as the Longfellow, but the 
crop matures earlier. We believe it to be one of the 
largest yielding varieties of Flint Corn. Qt. 20e., by 
mail 35c.; by express, % pk. 50c., pk. 90c., bus. $3.00. 
SWEET CORN FOR FODDER 
Stowell’s Evergreen. (For fodder.) A Sweet Corn, too 
well known to need any description. Qt. 20c., pk. 75c., 
bus. $2.50. 
Sugar Corn for Green Fodder. We find many of 
our farmers favor this for ensilage purposes owing 
to the large percentage of saccharine matter in the 
stalks. To cut up and use for Corn fodder in-the 
Fall there is nothing better. This is especially grown 
for fodder purposes, being of thick growth and early 
maturity. Usually sown in drills for early Summer 
and Fall Corn at the rate of two bushels per acre in 
drills four feet apart. Pk. 50c., bus. $1.75, sack (2 bus.) 
$3.00. 
DENT VARIETIES 
In many localities in New England the Dent varieties 
have been grown very successfully. It is a fact that the 
yield is practically double that of the Flint varieties. We 
would recommend a part of your plantings of Field Corn 
to be of the Dent varieties. 
Brewer’s Yellow Dent. As this Corn is strictly a 
New England variety, all the seed having been grown 
and ripened in New England, we have no hesitancy in 
recommending the Brewer’s Dent, for it has overcome 
all of the difficulties of ripening this Corn here in New 
England. This Corn was awarded First Grand Champion 
Prize at the Corn exhibit in Omaha; the yield from a 
measured acre was 133% bushels of shelled corn and a 
large amount of fodder. One can readily see that this 
would be a most desirable crop for ensilage as well as 
for the corn. Pk. 25c., bus. $2.75. 
Early Mastodon. It grows strong, rank, quick and 
makes the finest appearance of shelled corn of all the 
varieties of Dent. It is purely a Dent Corn, of two shades, 
white and yellow; it has the largest ears and the largest 
corn of any of the early Dent Corns. It will ripen its 
seed in Massachusetts. Pk. 60c., bus. $2.00. 
Eureka Ensilage. The tallest and best ensilage Corn; 
produces more valuable material for the silo than any 
other, and is also very productive of ears. Eureka is a 
choice selection of Southern Corn and in its native lati¬ 
tude has shelled out 100 bushels to an acre. For ensilage 
its value is due to its enormous growth and great pro¬ 
duction of leaves and ears; the main purpose of a silo 
is to preserve the largest possible quantity of fresh 
green foliage and ears that- can be obtained from the 
smallest area. The Eureka will absolutely do this and 
has proven it to a great many farmers. Qt. 20c., pk. 
75c., bus. $2.50. 
Learning Improved. One of the most popular and 
productive varieties, as the stalks grow very tall and 
produce, as a rule, two good ears on each stalk. The 
ears are long, with small, red cobs, well filled with corn 
of medium size and rich golden color. It will ripen in 
from one hundred to one hundred and ten days and makes 
a good crop even in a dry season. On account of its 
being very strong and vigorous the stalks are very leafy, 
making an excellent fodder; the kernels are so deep that 
it makes an extra large yielder. In this vicinity we recom¬ 
mend this Corn more than any other variety for ensilage. 
Pk. 60c., bus. $1.75. 
Red Cob Ensilage. A very strong grower, highly 
recommended for ensilage; yields enormous crops. 
Pk. 50c., bus. SI.75. 
Virginia Mammoth White. There is a great variety 
of white Corns from the South sold under various 
names. Our stock is produced in Virginia and we have 
had excellent satisfaction with this variety. It grows 
large, plenty of foliage, excellent for either fodder or 
ensilage. Pk. 50c., bus. $1.75.
