finest that can be grown. We grow 10,000 acres annually, each va- 
riety in the correct locality to insure adaptation, and isolated to 
prevent crossing. Our pedigree seed stocks are the best that can 
be gotten, either bred by us or secured each year from the original 
breeder regardless of cost. The maturity dates listed here are 
based on our tests, but vary in different seasons and localities, 
CERTIFIED FIELD CORNS 
We offer certified seed of all varieties marked *. These were 
field and bin inspected by the Virginia or North Carolina Crop Im- 
provement Associations and earry official certified tags. State tests 
show that certified seed corns yield larger and better quality crops 
than uncertified. The additional cost of 3c or 4c an acre to plant 
certified strains will pay you back in dollars at harvest time.
