Field Corn 
Our strains of Corn are not the common kinds usually found in abundance on the market. 
We give very careful attention to selected stock in all lines of farm seeds. This is particularly 
true of Field Corn where re-selection means the limit of crop with little or no increase in cost. 
Our stock is selected for size of ear and fodder, uniformity of kernel, and the careful finish of 
the tip and butt, all of which means a considerable increase in production. Field Corn weighs 
56 pounds per bushel. 
Hybrid Field Corn 
Most productive Corn for Middle Atlantic 
States. Excellent early feed Corn. Matures 
in 112 days. Experiment Station tests in¬ 
dicate it is the heaviest yielding Corn of the 
same maturity and adaptation as Lancaster 
Surecrop and Learning for southeastern 
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Long 
Island, and Connecticut. Every stalk bears 
large, beautiful show-type ears, 11 inches 
long, with practically no short or unsound 
ears. Sixteen rows of deep grains are tightly 
wedged on a small red cob. Medium dent. 
Medium short, stocky stalks, 8}^ feet tall. 
Extremely disease and drought resistant.

the ground by the roots. Fodder is relished 
in either green or dry form by cattle. Sow 
1 bushels per acre alone, or 50 pounds, in 
drills 2L^ feet apart, during May or June. If

about the first of September, when the pods 
will be well filled. Yields as high as 20 tons of 
green feed per acre. 60 pounds per bushel.
