Russell-Heckle’s Celebrated 
Harpeth River Seed Corns 
Tennessee Bred and Grown 
We are proud of our Harpeth River Seed Corns. They are selected 
and handled right; they are what seed corns should be, and you will 
agree when you see them. Each bag is from hand selected ears, hand- 
nubbed and hand-tipped before shelling, then graded and cleaned, just 
as we do with our famous Top Notch brand corns. 
Harpeth River seed corns established a reputation 30 years ago in the 
days of the late Col. Jo Ullathorne, who first introduced them. They 
were his pride then—they are ours now. 
Harpeth River Seed corns cost a trifle more than ordinary commercial 
seed corns, and are worth it. If the difference in cost were $1.00 per 
bushel, that would be just 12c to 15c additional cost per acre for seed; 
you should gather 10 to 30 extra bushels per acre with Harpeth River 
corns, for “like produces like." 
Every bag is plainly printed, “Harpeth River Seed Corn." Buy only 
the genuine. Obtainable in the following varieties (see descriptions un- 
under Top Notch Corns): 
Harpeth River Champion White Dent. 
Harpeth River Early Yellow Dent.

HOW TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB 
This will apply to crib of any kind. Three cubic 
feet of sound, dry unshucked corn in the ear will 
make a bushel. 
To get the quantity of shelled corn in a crib of 
corn in the ear, measure the length, breadth and 
height of the crib inside of the rail, multiply the 
length by the breadth and then multiply the product 
of these two dimensions by the height; then divide 
the product by three and you will have the number 
of bushels in the crib. • 
2% cubic feet of corn without shucks, equal one 
bushel of ear corn. 
R. H. Co/s Golden Surprise 
A large Yellow Corn for our Southern farmers. Ears 8% to 9 x / 2 inches long, 
usually 14 to 16 rows of well-dented grains, grows a stalk 7 to 8 feet high and 
matures in 90 to 100 days. 
Among its excellent qualities are the grains, are very narrow and deep, 
of a very bright golden yellow color and grains are medium hard, not at 
all flinty, just hard enough to stand the rainy weather conditions to keep 
ears from rotting. 
Golden Surprise produces well on most any soil—good upland as well as 
low moist locations. It is a good yielding variety. Each stalk produces 
2 good large ears, shells easily, is also often used for an ensilage crop. 
Top Notch Jarvis Golden Prolific 
This is one of the finest corns for this section on our list. A natural 
drought-resisting variety, one of the few varieties of Yellow Corn that pro¬ 
duces more than 1 ear. It is hardy enough to withstand any kind of weather 
in the fall. Crops have been left in the field until early spring and then 
came out good, sound corn. 
A native southern Yellow Corn, carefully bred, and one that bears two 
good ears to the stalk. The stalk is rather dwarf, 6 to 8 feet high, and does 
not fall down in stormy weather. Grains are bright golden yellow ; ears are 
firm and solid, about 7 to 10 inches long. The grain is medium in size. 
This is a very productive and desirable variety, and is drought resistant. 
Our seed is all carefully selected. It will please you. 
Top Notch Early Yellow Dent 
Yellow grains, medium size red cob, ears good length, about 90-day maturity. 
One of the popular varieties, for late planting particularly. 
Top Notch Gold Mine 
A dandy big eared Yellow Corn that succeeds well in this section. Grains medium 
long, bright yellow and set on medium to large size ear about 8 inches in length. 
Does well on good uplands. Matures in about 105 days. 
Top Notch Large Golden Dent 
Large golden grains, big ear, red cob, medium size. Maturity about 100 days. 
Extremely popular everywhere. 
Top Notch Mexican June Corn 
Our native grown selected strain. This dependable variety, largely planted late 
in the spring throughout the entire Cotton Belt, originally came from 
Mexico. It is largely used for planting after oats and wheat, and can be 
planted as late as August 15th with good results. The stalks are usually 
short, although early plantings make stalks 12 to 15 feet high, leaves 4 to 6 
feet long. The roots run deep and spread, so that it is a splendid drought 
resister. Ears 8 to 9 inches long, grains short to medium, cobs medium in 
size, and while usually white, occasionally you’ll find a red cob with white 
and some blue grains. This apparent mixture of color is peculiar to many 
varieties of Mexican Corn. 
Top Notch Tait's Early White Dent 
One of the few early 90-day White Dent varieties with a small cob; makes 
large beautiful ears, and the smooth dent grains are pure white. It is ideal 
for early feed or roasting ears. Prices on Green Ink List.
