Blue Ridge Ensilage Seed Corn 
FIELD AND ENSILAGE SEED CORN 
Blue Ridge Ensilage Seed Corn. A variety of West Branch Sweepstakes Ensilage Seed Corn. 
Ensilage corn of great merit. Blue Ridge Ensilage 
is at least three weeks earlier than its famous pro- 
totype, Eureka Ensilage, with all its good quali- 
ties and none of its faults. It is a product of the 
Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia, bred for 
earliness so as to give a glazed ear in this locality 
at harvest-time. It grows 12 to 14 ft. high, ona 
thick, heavy stalk, well filled with leaves which 
retail their color well to the ground until harvested. 
The ears average 10 to 12 in. long; the grain is 
broad, thick and white, containing an unusual 
amount of sugar, making this variety the ideal 
ensilage corn, insuring an appetizing and good- 
keeping silage. (See illustration from an actual 
photograph, two-thirds natural size.) Pk. $1.25, 
bus. $4.00. 
Virginia-Grown Eureka Ensilage Corn. It is 
the largest corn we know of; grows from 14 to 18 
ft. high, on stalks 2 to 214 in. in diameter, and 
has a vast amount of foliage. If it is a question of 
tonnage on your farm, grow Eureka Ensilage Corn. 
It gives you a succulent, palatable, cheap feed the 
year around. The seed we offer is the genuine 
Eureka, grown in the Shenandoah Valley of Vir- 
ginia, and will give one of the largest crops of 
ensilage corn you have ever had. Pk. $1.00, 
bus. $3.50. 
Lancaster County Golden Sure Crop. We have 
procured reliable seed stock from growers recom- 
mended to us by the Lancaster County Farm 
Bureau. This is a large-growing corn, 12 to 14 ft. 
high, with long ears and a large amount of leaves, 
making it an excellent silage corn. Will not ma- 
ture for grain in a short season in Northern Penn- 
sylvania and New York. Fine for silage in these 
locations. Pk. $1.00, bus. $3.50. 
Longfellow Flint. This for a long time has been 
the popular, 8-rowed Yellow Flint corn. It is a 
very productive variety; ears 12 to 14 in. long and 
matures where the Yellow Dent fails. Pk. $1.00, 
bus. $3.50.

White-Cap Yellow Dent. 
This corn originated in Lycoming County, Penn- 
sylvania. Our stock is original and is grown in 
Lycoming County. The genuine West Branch 
Sweepstakes is a big corn. The stalks are very 
large, 1144 to 2 in. in diameter and 12 to 15 ft. high. 
The foliage is long, broad, and heavy, starting well 
down to the ground, with an abundance of leaves, 
and produces from 15 to 25 tons of silage per acre. 
The ears are large, averaging 12 in. long and 10 in. 
in circumference, containing 14 to 20 rows of red 
and golden grains, with a decided reddish cast. 
Pk. $1.00, bus. $8.00. Subject to change. 
Quenshenaque Yellow Dent. An early-maturing 
Yellow Dent, grown and bred on the hills of 
Lycoming County. A corn of good size and a sure- 
cropper. It is a beautiful Yellow Dent with just 
enough White-Cap blood in it to give it strong 
vitality and early maturity. It matures in 90 to 
100 days; the stalks are 7 to 8 ft. tall, and the 
ears 8 to 10 in. long. We feel safe in recommending 
this corn to the growers on hil! farms on account of 
its extreme earliness and strong vitality. Pk. 75c., 
bus. $2.50. Subject to change. 
This corn has never 
failed to mature properly; vigorous habit, large 
foliage, and a sure cropper. The ears are large— 
9 to 11 in. and 14- to 16-rowed—well filled out 
and showing practically no gloss whatever, thus 
demonstrating its well-bred propensities. The 
grains are large, beautiful lemon-yellow, and 
white-capped. Pk. 75c., bus. $2.50. Subject to 






change.
