TOP NOTCH MOSBY’S PROLIFIC 
TOP NOTCH PAYMASTER. (100-115 days.) We 
endorse this corn as one of the most satisfactory 
and heavy yielding corns for southern farms. 
Bred in Tennessee, its excellence reached the 
point where 75 per cent of all the corn planted 
in the state of Tennessee is reported to be Pay- 
master. Paymaster is now planted all over the 
South. White grain, cob bright red; mostly 2 
ears to stalk, ears well filled to end. A tall 
variety making good ensilage. Postpaid, pt., 
20c; qt., 30c; 12 gal., 45¢; gal., 75c. >

Top Notch SEED CORN ... the 
When we selected Ton Notch brand for our seeds many years ago we had in mind the highest 
standard of quality, and every year since then we have tried to live up to that brand. The tre- 
mendous volume of TOP NOTCH quality seed corn that we sell year after year is ample proof 
that farmers are pleased with our corns. Top Notch brand corn costs a trifle more than machine- 
graded corns and are preferred ey farmers who know quality. If they cost $1.00 per bushel more, 
that would be just 12% cents to 15 cents per acre additional cost. One peck per acre additional] 
yield from Top Notch brand corn would equalize that—we believe you can expect 10 to 15 extra 
bushels per acre. 
Open pollinated seed corns produce best results when planted under climatic and soil condi- 
tions similar to those under which it was originally produced. Our open pollinated seed corns 
are produced in localities where each variety is at its best. With corn as with other crops, no 
one variety has all the best qualities. No one variety is best suited for all soils and conditions. 
Plant corn best suited to your locality. One gallon of seed corn will plant approximately one acre

5 Important Reasons on Why to 
Plant Hybrid Corns 
1. GREATER YIELD—Hybrid Corns usually 
yield more bushels of corn per acre over open 
pollinated corns, year in and year out, wher- 
ever they are planted. 
2. EASIER HARVESTING—The uniform 
height of the ears of most Hybrid Corns makes 
them twice as easily harvested. No stooping, 
no scraping in the mud is required. There are 
virtually no down stalks, and the ears are all 
of the same level. 
3. STIFFER STALKS—When hard winds lay 
other corns flat, most Hybrid Corns stand firm 
and erect. The stalks are so much stiffer, the 
roots so much deeper that the problem of 
twisted and down corn is virtually eliminated. 
4, DEEPER ROOTS—The roots of some Hybrid 
Corns have been known to go down eight feet. 
When drouth strikes they dig down for moisture 
and produce a crop where other corns fail. In 
normal years these deeper roots tap a supply 
of food that ordinary corns never reach. 
5. A SURER CROP—It costs less than $1.00 
per acre to plant our Hybrid Corns. For that 
nominal cost you get more bushels of corn per 
acre plus protection against wind, drouth, dis- 
ease and pests plus uniform ears of a distinct 
quality. 
Tennessee Paymaster Hybrids 
Nos. 10, 14, 15 
The University of Tennessee Agricultural 
Experiment Station has been working on Pay- 
master Hybrids for a number of years and 
experiment station tests have shown them to 
be exceptionally good. These hybrids are made 
by combining inbreds from the high yielding 
prolific open pollinated variety Neal Paymas- 
ter. Thus they are all more or less similar to 
Neal Paymaster in having white grain, red cob, 
prolificacy, and high shelling percent. These 
hybrids are more uniform and lower eared than 
Neal Paymaster. The difference in yielding 
ability of these three hybrids is small and may 
be considered non-significant at the present. 
However, further testing will give additional 
information as to the relative merits of each of 
these hybrids. Over a period of years these 
Tennessee Hybrids have outyielded open pol- 
linated Neal Paymaster appreciably. No. 10 
stands well, some ears very light copper tinted. 
Nos. 14, 15, high yielding, prolific. Price, post- 
paid, pt., 30c; qt., 50c; 12 gal., 85c; gal., $1.50; 
pk., $2.60; 1 bu., $4.75. 
National 134 Hybrid 
An early, high yielding, yellow hybrid devel- 
oped by Dr. Stuart Smith, nationally known in 
Hybrid Corn breeding. Sold by us last year 
and proven very satisfactory. Postpaid, pt., 35c: 
qt., 55e; Ye gal., 95c; gal., $1.70; pk., $2.85; 
VY bu., $5.25. 
TOP NOTCH EARLY SURPRISE. (85 days.) 
This splendid early corn is already well-known. 
You can plant it early and gather it early. 
Dependable because it matures before the sum- 
mer droughts. The white grains are medium 
size. Ears snow-white, about 8 inches long. The 
grains are set on a medium white cob; stalks 
medium tall and average two good ears. Post- 
paid, pt., 25c; qt., 35ce; V2 gal., 55c; gal., 95c. 

TOP NOTCH TRUCKER’S FAVORITE. (85 
days.) Ears 8 inches long, even rowed, tender 
and of fine quality, usually produces two good 
ears to each stalk. An excellent variety for field 
culture or for late planting to use as a garden 
crop. Postpaid, pt., 25c; qt., 35ce; 1% gal., 55c¢; 
gal., 95c. 
TOP NOTCH MEXICAN JUNE. (90 days.) This 
dependable variety, largely planted late in the 
spring throughout the entire Cotton Belt origi- 
nally, came from Mexico. It is largely used for 
planting after oats and wheat, and can be 
planted as late as August 15th with good re- 
sults. The stalks are usually short, although 
early plantings make stalks 12 to 15 feet high, 
leaves 4 to 5 feet long. The roots run deep and 
spread so that it is a splendid drought resister. 
Ears from 8 to 9 inches long, grains short to 
medium, cobs medium in size, and while usually 
white, occasionally you'll find a red cob with 
white and some blue grains. This apparent 
mixture of color is peculiar to many varieties 
of Mexican corn. Postpaid, pt., 20¢; qt., 30c; 2 
gal., 50c; gal., 85c. 
TOP NOTCH LAGUNA. (110-120 days.) This 
variety has been a favorite in Mississippi for 
years, standing third among twenty-four vari- 
eties in 1929, and was third in average stand- 
ing for the next ten years at Stoneville, Miss.— 
a fine record. Laguna ears average 8 inches 
long, 14 rows of white, broad kernels, medium 
length, white cob. Laguna seems to stand ad- 
verse weather conditions that usually occur 
during the latter part of the growing season, 
and like Mexican June, will build its yield above 
other varieties planted under these conditions. 
Postpaid, pt., 20c; qt., 30c; 2 gal., 50c; gal., 85c. 
TOP NOTCH MOSBY’S PROLIFIC. (110-120 
days.) One of the most prolific corns in exist- 
ence; the stalks are tall, bearing 2 to 5 fine 
ears. The grains are long set close to a small 
white cob, very uniform in shape, well filled. 
Another feature is its abundant foliage, which 
renders it superior to most sorts for ensilage 
purposes. This is a Southern corn, and is rec- 
ommended for general crop. It is pearly white, 
small cob, deep full grain, neither too hard nor 
too soft. Postpaid, pt., 20c; qt., 30c; 2 gal., 45c; 
gal., 75c.
