“LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP” 
Here’s a famous variety. More folks planted it in the Eastern 
part of this country than any other corn. For 25 years it has 
been a money-maker because it produces plenty of good large 
ears of hard corn. It fills the crib and the silo. Grows thin 
cobs—solid ears—grain closely set—no lost space. Rich in 
protein. Fine for even pocr to average soils. 
For the silo you get plenty of corn as well as stalks. The grains 
are well glazed before cutting. If you want ensilage with rich 
food value, and also lots of corn for the crib, plant Lancaster 
County Sure Crop. Grows tall . . . and leafy. Develops early, 
and is exceptionally hardy. Stands drought, and thrives every¬ 
where, even up north. A real general purpose corn for both 
husking and silage. You always get a sure crop. 
’’Good Coro—Wasn’t Cob Enough” 
Frank P. Cook of Maud, West Virginia, says: 
“You may remember my buying ‘‘Sure Crop’ 
seed corn from you in 1936. Inclosed find 
photograph of some ears raised from that seed. 
It is surely a fine and good corn; the longest 
ears I ever raised, some of them 15 inches 
long; of deep, rich golden-yellow color, filled 
out over the ends of the cob close and tight. 
It really seemed to have the appearance, the 
way it filled out over both ends of the cob, that 
there wasn’t cob enough.” 
’’WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT” 
An extra good husking corn—one of the most 
successful on this whole list. The famous Landis 
strain, developed here in Lancaster County. 
Ears are white, but when shelled the sides of the 
grains show yellow. A big yielder. Lots of shelled 
corn. Compact ears. Cob not large. Rows closely 
set. Fairly large grains . . . long and wide. Does 
well on poor to average soils. 
Medium early corn. Matures nicely in Southern 
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio, except in 
higher altitudes. Good ears come from stalk after 
stalk—that's where its good yields come from. 
Famous prize-winning strain. Photo below (right). 
’’IMPROVED LEAMING” 
Adapted for almost any soil. Rich, yellow grain 
of good depth. Red cob, medium size, tapering 
ears. Reliable for rough and ready culture. 
Fodder has numerous wide leaves. Gives surpris¬ 
ing results even on poorer soils.

’’LONG’S CHAMPION YELLOW” 
A fine big smooth ear . . . rich yellow . . . deep 
grain . . . very productive corn. If you have good 
ground, and put on enough stuff to feed it well, 
you can do something extra fine with this corn! 
Long’s Champion Yellow is too late a variety for 
maturing good hard corn in the more Northern 
sections. Rut it makes fine crops in the lower 
counties season after season.

silage, in the Northern and New England States 
especially. Rich in feeding value. Produces extra 
heavy tonnage. Preferred by many to the regular 
silage types. See Price List.
