Field Seed l orn 
Seed corn produces best results when planted under climatic and soil conditions 
similar to those under which it was originally produced. Our seed corn is pro¬ 
duced in localities where each variety is at its best. With corn, as with other crops, 
no one variety has all the best qualities. No one variety is best suited for all soils 
and conditions. Plant corn suited to your locality. Southern varieties usually 
make best yields in the South, but for those who want quicker action we are pre¬ 
pared to supply the best Northern and Western varieties. 
Top Notch Brand Corns 
Selected from high-yielding fields of well matured crops. Every ear hand se¬ 
lected, hand nubbed and hand tipped before shelling, then graded and cleaned. All 
this selection and handling is done by men who know seed corn. Result—satisfied 
purchasers and improved crops. 
Top Notch Brand seed corns cost a trifle more than ordinary machine graded 
corns, and are worth it. If the difference were $1.00 per bushel, that would be 
just 12c to 15c per acre additional cost. An additional yield of one peck per acre 
from Top Notch would equalize that. We believe you can expect 10 to 30 extra 
bushels per acre with Top Notch. 
Top Notch Paymaster 
We endorse this corn as one of the most satisfactory and heavy yielding corns 
for Southern farms. Bred in Tennessee, its excellence reached the point where 
seventy-five percent of all the corn planted in the State of Tennessee is reported 
to be Paymaster. Paymaster is now planted all over the South. White grain, cob 
bright red; mostly two ears to stalk, ears well filled to end. A tall variety making 
good ensilage, maturing 100 to 115 days. Postpaid, 1 gallon, 60c. 
Top Notch Tennessee White Red Coh 
An extra large field corn; grains long, white, broad and evenly lined on large red 
cob. The ears of this sort will run from 9 to 12 inches long and have from 18 to 
20 rows. The stalks grow from 8 to 12 feet high, are broad, strong and short- 
jointed, it makes one of our best ensilage corns. Matures in 120 days. Postpaid, 
1 gallon, 60c. 
Top Notch Hickory King 
The white grain is so wide and deep and the cob so small that often a single 
grain will cover the end of a broken cob. It has been called the Poor Man’s Corn 
because it can be depended upon to produce a crop on poor, thin land. On good 
land it bears two ears to the stalk. Postpaid, 1 gallon, 60c. 
Top Notch Tail’s Early White Dent 
The stalk is short and thick. The ears grow long on the stalk, from 7 to 9 inches 
in length, almost parallel throughout, of medium size, averaging 14 rows of grains, 
and will mature in 9 0 days. The grains are pure white, compact and heavy. The 
cob small. Postpaid, 1 gallon, 65c. 
Top Notch Silver Mine

shape, 16 to 20 straight rows of deep, pure white kernels on a small white cob.

White grains, slightly dented, medium size white cob, ears good length, well 
filled. Maturity 90 days. An old standby for late planting. Postpaid, 1 gallon, 55c. 
Top Notch Moshy’s Prolific 
One of the most prolific corns in existence; the stalks are tall, bearing 2 to 5 fine 
ears. The grains are long, set close to a small white cob, very uniform in shape, 
well filled. Another important feature of this fine corn is its abundant foliage, 
which renders it superior to most sorts for ensilage purposes. This is a southern 
corn, and is recommended for general crop. It is pearly-white, small cob, deep full 
grain, neither too hard nor too soft. Matures in 110 to 120 days. Postpaid, 1 gal¬ 
lon, 60c.

field and table purposes, just flinty enough for milling the most beautiful meal. 
Some of the largest yields of corn ever made in the South have been made with 
this prolific corn. Postpaid, 1 gallon, 60c. 
Top Notch Hastings’ Prolific 
It will make two ears to the stalk on average land, and if planted 24 to 30 inches 
apart in the row on good strong land, four to six ears to the stalk can be had. The 
ears are well filled at both ends; the cob is small; the shuck is heavy and covers 
the ear tightly, protecting it from birds and insects. Matures in 120 to 130 days. 
Postpaid, 1 gallon, 60c.
