R.-H. Co/s Top Notch Corns 
When we selected Top Notch brand for our seed com many years ago we had in mind 
the highest standard of quality, and every year since then we have tried to live up to that 
brand. The tremendous volume of TOP NOTCH quality seed corn that we sell year after 
year is ample proof that farmers are pleased with our corns. 
Top Notch brand corn costs a trifle more than machine-graded corns and are more than 
men who know seed corn. Every ear hand-selected, hand-nubbed and tipped before shelling, 
then graded and recleaned. 
Top Notch brand corns cost a trifle more than machine-graded corns and are more than 
worth it. If they cost $1.00 per bushel more that would be just 12V^ cents to 15 cents per 
acre additional cost. One peck per acre additional yield from Top Notch brand would 
equalize that—we believe you can expect 10 to 30 extra bushels per acre with Top Notch corns. 
Seed corn produces best results when planted under climatic and soil conditions similar to 
those under which it was originally produced. Our seed com is produced in localities where 
each variety is at its best. With com as with other crops no one variety has all the best 
qualities. No one variety is best suited for all soils and conditions. Plant corn suited to 
your locality. Southern varieties usually make best yields in the South, but for those who 
want quicker action we are prepared to supply the best Northern and Western varieties. 
R.-H. CO/S EARLY SURPRISE 
(85 days.) This splendid early corn is 
already well-known. You can plant it 
early and gather it early. Dependable 
because it matures before the summer 
droughts. The white grains are medium 
size. Ears snow-white, about 8 inches 
long. The grains are set on a medium 
white cob; stalks medium tall and pro¬ 
duce average two good ears. Our stock 
of Northern Early Surprise corn is gen¬ 
uine, grown for us by the introducer. Be 
careful—don't be misled and plant Early 
Surprise of uncertain origin. 
Postpaid, 5 lbs., 70c. Not prepaid, 5 
lbs., 50c, Quantity prices ore given on

TOP NOTCH EARLY SNOWFLAKE. (90 days.) 
Large size, very early in maturing, grains 
snow white. Ears are 8 to 10 inches in 
length—a dependable variety for early use. 
TOP NOTCH HASTINGS' PROLIFIC. (120-130 
days.) It will make 2 each to the stalk on 
average land, and if planted 24 to 30 inches 
apart in the row on good strong land, 4 to 6 
ears to the stalk can be had. The ears are 
well filled at both ends; the cob is small; 
the shuck is heavy and covers the ear 
tightly, protecting it from birds and insects. 
TOP NOTCH NORTH CAROLINA PROLIFIC. 
(115 days.) A beautiful white prolific com. 
Well adapted to both field and table pur¬ 
poses, just flinty enough for milling the 
most beautiful meal. Some of the largest

TOP NOTCH ST. CHARLES WHITE RED COB. 
(100 days.) The ears are large, both in 
length and circumference. The grains are 
deep and firmly set in a medium large red 
cob. 
TOP NOTCH SILVER MINE. (100 days.) Ears 
measure from 10 to 12 inches in length. 
They are very uniform in size and shape, 
16 to 20 straight rows of deep, pure white 
kernels on a small white cob. 
TOP NOTCH WHITE DENT. (100 days.) White 
grains, slightly dented, medium size white 
cob, ears good length, well filled. An old 
standby for late planting. 
TOP NOTCH MOSBY'S PROLIFIC. (110-120 
days.) One of the most prolific corns in exist¬ 
ence; the stalks are tall, bearing 2 to 5 fine 
ears. The grains are long, set close to a 
small white cob, very uniform in shape, 
well filled. Another important feature of 
this fine corn is its abundant foliage, which 
renders it superior to most sorts for ensilage 
purposes. This is a southern corn, and is 
recommended for general crop. It is pearly 
white, small cob, deep full grain, neither 
too hard nor too soft. 
TOP NOTCH PAYMASTER. (100-115 days.) 
We endorse this corn as one of the most 
satisfactory and heavy yielding corns for 
southern farms. Bred in Tennessee, its 
excellence reached the point where 75 per 
cent of all the corn planted in the state 
of Tennessee is reported to be Paymaster. 
Paymaster is now planted all over the 
South. White grain, cob bright red; mostly 
2 ears to stalk, ears well filled to end. 
A tall variety making good ensilage. 
TOP NOTCH TENNESSEE WHITE RED COB. 
(120 days.) An extra large field corn; 
grains long, white, broad and evenly 
lined on large red cob. The ears of this 
sort will run from 9 to 12 inches long and 
have from 18 to 20 rows. The stalks grow 
from 8 to 12 feet high, are broad, strong 
and short-jointed. It makes one of our best 
ensilage corns. 
TOP NOTCH HICKORY KING. (120 days.) The 
white grain is so wide and deep, and the 
cob so small that often a single grain will 
cover the end of a broken cob. It has 
been called the Poor Man's Corn because it 
can be depended upon to produce a crop 
on poor, thin land. On good land it bears 
two ears to the stalk.

HOW TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB 
This will apply to crib of any kind. Three cubic feet 
of sound, dry unshucked com 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 V 2 cubic feet of com without shucks, equal one bushel 
of ear com.
