★ CORN ★ 
EARLY 
LEANING 
Oilmans This is one of the earliest 
yellow corns. Small eared 
. . . grains of good size 
. . . small cobs, borne 
low on the stalk. The ears 
are rich yellow, of fine 
appearance. Hoffman’s 
"Early Learning" is par¬ 
ticularly well adapted to 
higher locations. 
“West The true strain. . . . 
Grown in Lycoming 
Branch county, Northern Penn- 
Sweepstakes’’ sylvania. This is a fine 
silage variety. * 
Widely used in several 
Northern States. Is not a corn that would take prizes at a 
beauty show—for its grains represent quite a mixture of 
color. Red to yellow, with many in-between shades of both 
running through it. In spite of any undesirable color of 
this strain, it has one main feature that makes it so popular. 
... It is a good practical variety—that grows a dependable 
stand of fodder season after season. Northern 
dairymen use it and always get a lot of feed. 
Makes a good crop of ear-corn, too. 
It isn’t always the best-looking fellow who 
makes the best farmer . . . other traits often 
have more value than good looks. That’s the 
way many folks regard this variety.

“8-ROW YELLOW FLINT’^ 
In higher and colder sections or where sea¬ 
sons are too short to mature the standard varie¬ 
ties of corn, Flint Corn can be grown with 
profit. The ears of Hoffman’s "8-Row Yellow 
Flint" are 9 to 11 inches long, often two to a 
stalk. Eight rows to an ear. In some places it 
can be planted as late as June and still mature 
a crop. Supply is limited. This year’s supply 
was produced in East-Central Pennsylvania.
