FIELD 
We have always made a specialty of Seed Corn, supplying our 
trade with only those varieties that experience has proved are 
most suitable for the climate of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West 
GOLDEN SURPRISE. An old-time variety maturing in 90 to 
95 days. Because of quality, yield, and color, Golden Surprise 
is one of our most popular Corns. Ears are good size, with 14 
to 18 rows of long, light orange kernels. A cracker jack good 
Corn for the crib, and has a host of friends. 
SURE-CROP. The tremendous quantity of shelled Corn this 
variety produces to the acre surprises everyone who grows it. 
Generally there are two good ears to a stalk. The grain is very 
long—and the cob very thin. Has a rich, deep yellow grain, 
making it much desired by millers. The fodder grows from 8 
to 10 feet high. Ripens in 90 to 100 days. 
EARLY ORANGE YELLOW DENT. A 90-day Corn that is 
almost a giant, stalks ranging from 8 to 11 feet high. The ears 
are 8 to 10 inches long, with 16 rows on a red cob. One of the 
earliest maturing and prettiest yellow Dents in cultivation, 
which has made a reputation for yield and quality. 
CORN 
Virginia. Our Seed Corn is carefully hand-picked and tipped and 
butted before it is shelled. We aim to have every variety true to 
name and of high germination. 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH. A Yellow Dent variety, maturing in 
90 days. Ears 8 to 10 inches long, sixteen rows on the ear, cob 
small, grain above medium size and closely set. One of the 
hardiest, and especially adapted to the northern planter; will 
mature farther north than any other Dent Corn. 
IMPROVED LEAMING. Matures in 90 to 100 days. Produces 
a good-sized ear, with deep, broad grains. A large, vigorous, 
and quick-growing sprout makes leafy fodder; one of the best 
varieties for silage. Improved Learning has yielded as high as 
75 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. 
WHITE-CAP YELLOW DENT. An early sort which grows 
well on light soil; grain is yellow with white tip. Nearly as 
early as Pride of the North, maturing in from 90 to 95 days. 
Ears from 8 to 10 inches long, well filled, with sixteen or 
eighteen rows. 
ENSILAGE CORN 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES. A very hardy variety, 
thriving in northern Pennsylvania where it is difficult to ma¬ 
ture the ordinary ensilage Corn. Has yielded over 15 tons of 
green weight per acre. Stalks 10 to 12 feet high; ears 12 inches 
in length, with 14 to 20 rows. It has produced more than 150 
bushels of ears per acre. Should be heavily fertilized to mature 
a desirable crop. Large quantities are grown in dairy sections 
for ensilage purposes. Matures for silage in 90 to 100 days. 
LANCASTER COUNTY SURE-CROP. Lancaster County 
Sure-Crop holds first place in the estimation of many leading 
farmers. It is a yellow Corn; ears are very long and not pro¬ 
portionately thick. It grows quite tall, is very leafy and 
develops ears early. Some farmers claim that for husking 
purposes it is just as valuable a variety as it is for ensilage. 
YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES. Large, broad, deep golden yellow 
grains; large ears at least 12 inches long. Very heavy yielder, 
producing 19 tons per acre in New York State tests and 24 
tons in Rhode Island tests, and has averaged 64 bushels of 
Corn per acre. About 10 days earlier than white ensilage 
varieties. 
EUREKA. (Virginia-grown.) Virginia-bred Corn originated on 
the rich bottom of the James River Valley where it grows to 
perfection, often 16 to 18 feet high. It is a vigorous grower, 
with large stalks, unusually heavy foliage, and produces from 
one to three ears to the stalk, according to the land. The ears 
average about 11 inches in length. 
BLUE MOUNTAIN. This Corn is grown at a high altitude in 
the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, and makes an ideal 
ensilage Corn. Grows to a mammoth size, full of leaves, and 
has a big ear. It is a vigorous-growing Corn, often knee-high 
after 30 days from planting, and grows 14 to 16 feet high. Our 
seed is selected in the fall, properly taken care of, and always 
shows a nearly perfect germination test. 
VIRGINIA HORSE-TOOTH. The popular fodder Corn of the 
Southern States; from 12 to 14 feet high, and stiff enough to 
stand up during severe storms. The seed is white, broad, and 
deep, with white cob. 
RED-COB. A tall-growing plant, with a quantity of side leaves, 
making it desirable for ensilage. A favorite with a great many 
growers. The grain is narrow and clear white.
