A NEW FLINT CORN 
Allison’s ROWED White Flint 
“My son. who is under 15 years old. entered the 
Warren County Corn Growers' contest with one acre of 
ground, did all the work himself, after the ground was 
plowed , and raised 244 bushels of ear corn or 120.88 
bushels of shelled corn. He raised it from the seed he 
bought from you last spring — Long’s Champion Yellow 
This corn has been grown and selected on the Knapp Farm, Rockland County, N. Y., for a Dent." W. M. VOLLENTINE, Irvine, Pa. 
number of years. It is a great improvement on the Eight Rowed White Flint, the ears measuring 
from 12 to 15 inches in length and are invariably Twelve Rowed. Thev are well covered with 
smooth broad rich ivory colored kernels from butt to tip. The stalks under good cultivation 
grow to an average height of 10 feet and are very leafy, making excellent fodder. The yielo is 
from 80 to 100 bushels of ^helled corn per acre. 
Wherever a large eared Dent Corn fails to ripen we would recommend the planting of this variety. 
It requires a little longer to mature than the Eight Rowed Flint varieties because the size of that 
ear and yield of gram is much larger. 
There has been but a limited quantity of seed grown by the originator, for sale, and it cannot be 
offered by any other seedsman or dealer. 
Price $1.75 per peck, $6.00 per bushel, 10-bushel lots at $5.90. 
Extra Early Yellow Flint Corn 
This is a valuable addition to the Flint Varieties of Field Corn. It is the earliest variety in 
existence and especially adapted to Northern conditions (cool nights and short summers) and under 
favorable conditions the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, frequently 
measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set with large broad kernels. The 
stalks are of medium height. In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can be shelled 
and ground for feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable in 
sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. With good cultivation Extra 
Early Yellow Flint will yield 90 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that it is an eight- 
rowed early sort this is an excellent yield. Specially recommended for planting in northern New 
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Price, $1.50 peck, $6.50 bushel, 10 bushels at $5.40. 
Long’s Champion Yellow Dent Com 
For the last 15 years on a section of 90 acres this Corn has yielded an average of 133 
bushels of Shelled Corn per acre and has yielded as high as 160 bushels. 
This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest and the most productive Yellow Dent 
Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially in the Midde 
and Eastern States, where from 120 to 130 days of good Corn growing weather can be relied upon; 
on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can be ob¬ 
tained from the average old-type Corns generally planted. 
Long’s Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, 
one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn Belt. 
The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 
20 to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant 
grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed 
to mature by September 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited 
quantity of seed for sale, which can only be had through us. (See engraving.) 
Price, $1.50 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $5.40 per bushel, 
Henderson’s Eureka Yellow Dent Corn 
One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder—150 bushels 
of shelled Corn per acre is not unusual. The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of 
them bearing two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches 
long, with small red cob covered full, and over both butt and tip ends with 18 to 22 even rows of 
large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow color. It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, but, 
of course, does not mature as quickly as the small early Dent and Flint varieties, but where 100 
to 110 days of “Corn weather” are assured, it is the Corn to grow. It gives unqualified satisfaction 
from New Jersey to Ohio and south, but north of that latitude we do not advise planting it unless 
m favored localities. Price, $1.50 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $5.40 per bushel.
