THOMAS JEFFERSON GREW LANDRETHS’ SEEDS AT MONTICELLO 
GARDEN CORN—Continued 
LANDRETHS’ EARLIEST TABLE OR EARLY 
BEVERLY—72 Days. Grains medium length, 
cream color. Height of stalk 4§ to 5 ft. Ears med¬ 
ium length, thin, averaging 6 to 7 inches, short 
pointed. Rows generally 8 or 10. This is a cream 
colored flint corn that may be planted very early in 
the Spring for early market, not a true sweet corn. 
Truckers Favorite—85 Days. Grains medium in 
length, white in color. Height of stalk 7^ to 8 ft. 
Ears medium length and thickness, average 7 to 8 
inches, and short pointed. Rows generally 12 or 14. 
This is a favorite in the South for roasting ears, 
being a white dent. 
Be sure to plant some of our Hybrid Sweet Corn 
marked with a star. 
FIELD CORN 
Plant 10 to 15 pounds to the acre or about one bushel, 56 pounds to 5 acres. Originally a native 
of North and South America. Was grown in Peru centuries ago. We feel that our stocks are superior 
in quality and germination to the usual strains grown, as they are all grown in Bucks County, Pa., one of 
the four best corn counties, and Pennsylvania Field Corn is famous. It is all grown from the best hand 
selected, tipped stock which we select from the various fields which we are growing in this neighborhood. 
Landreths’ stock should not be compared with the cheap field corn, as our aim is to produce better quality, 
regardless of price. 
Bristol Early Yellow 
BRISTOL EARLY YELLOW or White Capped 
Yellow Dent—100 Days. Grains are medium in 
length, broad, the color being light or lemon yellow 
with a white dented cap or top. Height of stalk 
7 to 7^ ft. Ears long, thin, averaging 10 to 11 inches, 
short pointed. Rows generally 10 to 14 on a white 
cob. A fine quality corn, highly productive on good 
soil and even does well on poor ground, giving it the 
name of “Poor Man’s Corn” in some sections.

Dent.

long, medium width; the color being a glossy golden 
yellow with a distinctly dented cap or top. Height 
of stalk 8| to 9 ft. Ears medium in length and thick,

the dairy or general farm.
