Wetsel’s Standard and Ensilage Corns 


Reid’s Yellow Dent—Ward’s Certified 
120 days. Reid’s Yellow Dent strains con- 
tinues to be the most popular yellow corns, 
especially in the east. Ears are medium in 
length and comparatively large diameter. 
Medium cob, bearing long rich golden yel- 
low kernels. Excellent corn for feeding on 
cob. 
This particular strain of seed was grown 
under personal supervision of Mr. John S. 
Ward, President of Virginia Crop Im- 
provement Association. Demand for cer- 
tified crop seeds of all kinds is expanding 
at a rapid rate. Farmers are now con- 
vinced that it pays to plant certified seeds, 
despite the higher cost. Try some of our 
certified corn in 1942. Price below.
