WHITE CAP 
For Poor Land 
Insure Your Corn Crop by Planting 
Our Special Strain 
No other com will produce more bushels of good solid ears on 
thin land than our special strain of White Cap. For orer thirty 
years this variety has been grown by us, and no pains spared to 
improve it for the special purpose of high yield and well-developed 
ears. It not only yields well on thin land, but responds to high 
culture and rich soil as any other com. It will do well on either 
clay or black soil and every farmer should grow one or more fields 
of this variety to insure against crop failure. The ears are slightly 
tapering, averaging about 9^ inches long. Stalks with plenty of 
blades, making excellent fodder. It matures in 100 to 110 days. As 
the name implies, it is a white cap corn—not a white com, but 
yellow kernel with a small cob, and moderately deep grains filled out 
to the very ends. Seed Corn prices on page 44. 
WARNING FOR 1938 
We urge you again this year to prepare early for your Seed Corn. 
In many communities seed did not mature properly and does not show 
the strong vitality necessary. During the middle of November tem¬ 
peratures all over Ohio dropped to 8 to 12 degrees above zero. 
All corn, with few exceptions, that was exposed was, in varying 
degrees, frozen. So again this year it is necessary to “PREPARE FOR 
YOUR SEED CORN EARLY.” 
Ear Whits Cap 
Corn 
RED RIVER or SMOKY DENT 
This variety is sometimes 
called 90-day red corn. It 
is not completely red as the kernel has a white cap. When planted early it matures 
fully two weeks ahead of the main crop and makes good early feed for the hogs and 
dairy cows. The fodder is medium in height, has lots of blades and the stalk produces 
an abundance of brace roots which help make it very rigid in the field. You should 
try a field of Red River. Our strain during the last two years has yielded heavy crops 
while other kinds were seriously injured by the hot, dry weather. See fage 44 for prices. 
One bushel of seed corn will plant around 7 acres. No other seed is so cheap per 
acre and you depend more on your com crop than all the rest. Good germination will 
do more to help you raise a bumper crop than any other one factor. We specialize in 
the care of Seed Corn and when you buy your Seed Corn from us you can be sure the 
germination is exactly as it is marked on the tag. Why take a chance for only a few 
cents per acre. We receive hundreds of letters from customers telling how our strains 
have increased their yields. In fact many Farmers depend upon us for their Seed Corn 
each season. It pays them and it will pay you. 
FADI V WUITIT niTMT FINEST QUALITY FOR EARLY CORN 
■ ww n ■ I k Vklw I MEAL. We recommend Early White Dent 
to be one of the very best early white varieties. It is a strong, thrifty grower and an 
exceptionally heavy yielder for an early corn. If you plant early you can be the first 
in your community to have white com meal. It matures for us on clay soil in about 
90 days. The cob is not large and grains deep. You will like this early variety as it 
fills the need for a white general purpose corn better than any kind we know anything 
about. Try a small acreage and allow it to 
BLOODY BUTCHER 
The most popular medium early mixed 
variety grown. Matures 95-110 days. 
An exceedingly heavy yielder. The stalk 
is medium size and ear is medium to 
large and carries its circumference clear 
to the tips. The grains are red and 
white streaked making a very beautiful 
appearance. We have many farmers who 
prefer it to any other variety because of 
its deep grain and fine feeding qualities.
