the ears are 9 inches long, with 12 to 16 rows.

cent. Lh. 25 ets.; 5 Ibs. 70 cts.; 14 Ibs.

F. M. FoLi_mer, Pennsylvania, wrote us Sept. 11, 
last year: ‘“Dear Mr. Schell, If you want to see 
one of the most beautiful fields of your Schell’s Big 
Yellow Corn you ever saw, then come and see the 
crop I have grown from your seed.” 




“SCHELL’S BIG YELLOW” Seed Corn. The grandest Corn of them all 
Schell’s Quality Seed Corn 
(For Hybrid Seed Corn see inside front cover.) 
“SCHELL’S BIG YELLOW” 
It Pays to Change to New Seed and Better Seed 
FARMER FRIENDS—I wish you could have seen the storage 
rooms of ears of our 1941 crop of this good Corn. Every ear was 
just like the picture above. We have a grand crop of seed for you 
and it germinates 100%. It is beautiful seed. 
**Schell’s Big Yellow’’ was originally bred from Improved 
Leaming and Golden Dent. From these two good standard 
varieties it received its first good points of value. From Improved 
Leaming it inherited the length of grain and the broad rich foliage 
of the fodder. From the Golden Dent it inherited the broadness 
of its grain, the larger number of rows of grains, and the very 
beautiful rich golden yellow color. It produces a crop of the most 
perfectly uniform ears and has averaged 81 bushels of shelled 
Corn per acre, which is almost twice as much as the average 
yield of other varieties as given by the Department of Agriculture, 
which average is but 40.3 bushels per acre. Why not grow twice 
as many bushels to each acre and double your profits? 
*‘Schell’s Big Yellow’? is a Big Corn, yet Matures in 
110 Days. The ears are immense, 12 to 14 inches long, with 20 
to 24 rows of long, broad grains. It is without question one of 
the most valuable Yellow Dent Corns ever produced because of 
its immense yield—at least 50 per cent and often 100 per cent 
greater number of bushels to the acre than any of the average 
yields of other varieties. The stalks grow from 12 to 15 feet high, 
giving an immense quantity of fodder heavily covered with big, 
broad leaves. If you want the biggest and best crop in the neigh- 
borhood, then grow ‘‘Sechell’s Big Yellow Dent.’’ Plant it in 
May and it will mature in September. Remember, it takes no 
more seed, no more work in preparing the land, planting and 
cultivating to grow a big crop of ‘‘Schell’s Big Yellow’’ Dent 
than it does to grow a crop of common Corn. ‘‘Schell’s Big 
Yellow”? will give you 100 per cent germination. Prices: Lb. 
30 cts.; 5 Ibs. 90 cts.; 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.75, postpaid. By 
freight (not prepaid), Pk. (14 Ibs.) $1.40; Y4bus. (28 lbs.) 
$2.50; bus. (56 Ibs.) $5 (or only 63 cts. per acre); if 5 bus. or 
more at $4.80 per bus. 
t Schell’s Ninety-Day Seed Corn 
After all, the real purpose in planting Corn is to get CORN,—all we can get of it,—not cobs, not fodder, but 
Corn—those golden rows of Corn which surround the cob. With this variety you gain 7 pounds per bushel or 
700 pounds to each 100 bushels, and 50 acres, averaging 100 bushels of ears, would mean 35,000 pounds more 
actual Corn or about 630 bushels’ gain. Every 70-pound bushel of ears makes 63 pounds of shelled Corn while 
other varieties make only 56 pounds shelled Corn to the bushel, so you gain 7 pounds on every bushel of ears. 
Its great value is in its earliness and the tremendous quantity of shelled Corn it produces. The fodder grows 8 to 
10 feet high. You can plant this closer than the average and thus increase the yield. Ears average 10 inches 
long, with 16 rows of rich, dark yellow grains. Much preferred by millers who are ready to pay more for it. Do 
not delay sending your order, for the demand this year will be as great as ever. Our tests of this variety will 
average 98 to 100 per cent. Prices: Lh. 30 cts.; 5 Ibs. 90 cts.; 14 lbs. (pk.) $1.75, postpaid. By freight (not 
prepaid), Pk. (14 Ibs.) $1.40; 44bus. (28 lbs.) $2.50; bus. (56 Ibs.) $5; if 5 bus. or more at $4.80 per bus.
