Shumway’s Goliath Silo or Ensilage Seed Corn 
The World’s Greatest Yielder—Many Report 50 to 75 Tons Per Acre. 
For many years I have w’orked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting 
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saying it leads all others in growth of fodder-producing 
stalks 18 to 22 feet high. The leaves are broad and long, they start forming at lower end of 
.stalk and continue to the very top. It has strong root system thereby not affected by wind 
or draught. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not recommend it to 
ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one acre will produce 
more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn. If you desire hard ripe corn in 
your silo, plant one roAV of Goliath and one of native corn. That way you get max¬ 
imum yield, maximum feeding value from minimum acreage. Plant a few 
Soy Beans in each hill—Makes a wonderful combination feed. Bushel 
of shelled corn contains 56 pounds.

symmetrical shape, of a flinty white color.

three ears, and it is a splendid variety for fodder.

1560 King Philip Red Flint 
This extra early red flint corn is eight-rowed and one of the most reliable and productive varieties 
for the Northwest. The ears grow 12 inches long with eight straight rows of broad kernels of shiny 
red color. Stalks produce two and sometimes three good large ears. Not nearly as hard as ordinary 
Flint Corn. The stalks grow about 7 feet in height and are very leafy, therefore more valuable for 
fodder than Dent Corn. Matures in 80 days. Postpaid, lb., 22 cts.; 3 lbs., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., 75 cts.
