SEED CORN, continued 
Rohrer’s 90-Day Yellow Dent. The earliest variety 
listed. It is a splendid, beautifully colored golden 
yellow Dent Corn. The ears grow to a fairly good 
size, 7 to 9 inches long, with 16 to 18 rows on a beau¬ 
tiful red cob. Its grains are of good length and the 
fodder grows 8 to 11 feet high. Where the season 
is short you will find this variety profitable to grow. 
See Price-List. 
Bountiful Yellow Dent. One of the most profitable 
varieties to grow, and very popular in this part of 
Pennsylvania. It matures in 105 days, about 10 days 
later than Improved Learning. Because of its great 
root-development it will withstand more drought 
throughout the season than any other variety. It is 
an exceptionally strong, robust grower, and con¬ 
sidered one of the best varieties in cultivation where 
the season is not too short. We do not recommend 
it in the extreme northern part of Pennsylvania and 
New York State. The ears attain an immense size, 
and because of its medium-sized cob it is a 
profitable Corn to shell. One bushel shelled Corn 
will plant 8 acres. See Price-List. 
Lancaster County Sure Crop. One of the best va¬ 
rieties for cribbing as well as a silage Corn. It is 
recommended very highly by many farm bureau 
agents, and some of the best dairy farmers grow it 
exclusively for ensilage. The fodder is very tall and 
leafy. It withstands drought and develops ears 
early. The ears are very long, but not very thick. 
Grains are filled out well at both ends; cob is very 
thin and therefore shells very easily. Lancaster 
County Sure Crop contains more protein than any 
other Corn we know. It is a sure cropper and will 
mature in any part of Pennsylvania and Ohio. See 
Price-List. 
Hybrid Yellow Dent. Hybrid Corn yields 15 to 25 
bushels more per acre than ordinary varieties, with 
few nubbins. They are sounder, more disease-, 
storm- and drought-resistant, have a better root- 
system and stronger stalk. Matures in about 112 
days. Every stalk bears a uniform, large, solid ear 
with 16 rows of deep grains tightly wedged on a 
small cob. See Price-List. 
Red-Cob Ensilage. Has a long, narrow, white grain 
and is sold as a special Ensilage Corn. Grows tall 
and is prolific in leaves. In the North where the 
season is short, the Corn will not fully mature. We 
can recommend this variety where the season is not 
too short. We furnish fine-quality seed. All our 
Seed Corn germinates 90 per cent or better. See 
Price-List. 
Eureka Ensilage. The largest-growing ensilage Corn 
in existence is grown in Virginia. This is a white 
Corn and has very large, flat, square kernels. Ma¬ 
tures late. Believe Eureka Ensilage will grow more 
tonnage per acre than any other variety grown. 
See Price-List. 
Broom Corn 
Evergreen. Grows to a height of 8 to 10 feet. Adapted 
to all soils that will produce corn. Yields heavy, 
straight brush that are free from heavy center stems. 
Best sort to grow. Postpaid, lb. 25c. 
TOBACCO SEED 
Sprout seed and sow in hotbed early in April. Plants, 
when developed, should be transplanted in rows about 
32 inches apart and 24 inches m the row. One-half 
ounce will sow 200 to 250 square feet.

The value of Aroostook-grown Seed 
Potatoes is unquestionable. The Certifica¬ 
tion Department of the State of Maine plans 
to safeguard the interests of the seed-buyers. 
Two field inspections are made during the 
growing season and one at digging-time. 
While each carload is being graded, an in¬ 
spector visits several times. The maximum 
size for certified seed has been changed from 
14 to 12 ounces. The Department believes 
meet your 
requirements. 
Irish Cobbler. An early, white-skinned variety, very 
short, thick and inclined to be shaped round. This 
Potato is yearly increasing in popularity for early 
markets. The crop is ready about 10 days earlier 
than Early Rose. Vines are very stocky, vigorous, 
and not as liable to be affected with blight or suffer 
drought as most other varieties. Owing to the fact 
that the Cobbler withstood the severe drought last 
season better than other sorts, it is probable that 
there will be a larger demand than usual this season. 
We advise ordering early. 
Katahdin. This new Potato, introduced by the Maine 
Experimental Station, promises to be an outstand¬ 
ing variety. Matures about midway between the 
Cobbler and Green Mountain. Round in shape, eyes 
very shallow. Very heavy yielder. Clarence Sand¬ 
burg, of Colorado, has reported a yield of 742 bushels 
per acre of the Katahdins on his 1937 crop. Our 
stock is Maine-grown, from seed that was supplied 
by the Maine Experimental Station. 
Bliss Triumph. This season we will be able to supply 
Maine-grown Certified Bliss Triumphs. An early, 
deep red, round, very smooth variety and a fine 
quality cooker. Planted extensively in the South. 
Russet. One of the best for main-crop cultivation. 
Similar to the Raleigh in shape of tuber but has a 
russet skin and few eyes. This is a very hardy sort 
and usually produces good yields, even when seasons 
are unfavorable. Vines grow vigorously, have fine 
blight-resisting qualities, and usually remain green 
until late in fall. Russet outyielded other varieties 
two to one in many sections last season, planted side 
by side. The stock we offer this year is Certified 
Michigan-grown.
