Notch . 
® Drouth Resistant. 




For years we have had inquiries for Bloody 
Butcher corn but we were unable to furnish 
as we could not locate good stock. Finally 
we obtained a small lot of extra fine stock 
and had it grown for us on delta soil by 
one of our local planters. It turned out as 
fine as we have ever seen. Our grower ob- 
tained a splendid yield last fall in spite of 
the dry weather prevailing last summer—its 
ability to resist drouth has always been an out- 
standing characteristic of Bloody Butcher. He 
tells us further that it produced mostly two ears 
| to the stalk, and grows about 8 feet tall. It can 
be planted up until June ist safely, and with 
ample moisture present June 15th planting 
would probably do all right. Bloody Butcher is 
one of the best varieties we know of for thin 
upland soils—truly a poor land corn. And, of 
course, does even better on richer soils. Our 
stock is limited. Please let us know your re- 
quirements early. 
TOP NOTCH EARLY SNOWFLAKE. (90 
days.) Large size, very early in maturing, 
grains snowy 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 ears 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 PRO- 
LIFIC, (115 days.) A beautiful white pro- 
lific corn. Well adapted to both field and 
table purposes, just flinty enough for mill- 
ing the most beautiful meal. Some of the 
largest yields of corn ever made in the 
South have been made with this prolific 
corn. 
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 corn 
in the ear ll 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 teenie 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.
