1125—NEAL PAYMASTER (About 100 days)—Originated in Mid- 
dle Tennessee, where the natural fertility due to abundance of 
phosphate and other necessary elements makes it ideal for pro- 
ducing a more potent type of seed corn. Due to its natural vigor 
and heavy yields it has been a corn by which others were judged 
for years in tests over the South. Paymaster is suited for both low- 
lands and good uplands. Produces a medium tall stalk with usually 
two well filled ears 8 to 9 inches long, broad white grains on a 
bright red cob—Planted thick it will produce a heavy tonnage of 
ensilage. On good land it has been the heaviest yielding open pol- 
linated corn for a quarter century. 
Price—¥ gal., 65c; 1 gal., $1.00; peck, $1.75; 44 bu., $3.15 
1126—TENNESSEE RED COB (About 120 days)—An extra large 
white field corn; grains long, broad and evenly lined on large red 
cob. The ears are 9 to 12 inches long, stalks tall, making it an 
_ ideal ensilage corn. Rather late maturing, but for bottom land and 
main crop this corn cannot be excelled. This is one of the largest 
grain, greatest yielding and best milling corns for rich land. 
Price—% gal., 65c; 1 gal., $1.00; peck, $1.75; 14 bu., $3.15 
1129—SILVERMINE (About 100 days)—Medium large, very uni- 
form ears, 8 to 10 inches; deep grain and prolific. Stalk is sturdy 
and large, 8 to 10 feet tall; blades wide and vigorous, giving plenty 
of forage. The best early white cob, white corn adapted to South- 
ern soils and climate. Excellent for feed and milling. Although 
usually considered 110 day corn, our seed, coming from further 
north, will frequently produce hard corn in 90 days if weather 
conditions are favorable. 
Price—% gal., 65c; 1 gal., $1.00; peck, $1.75; 4% bu., $3.15 
1132—HICKORY KING (About 110 days)—This is an entirely -dis- 
tinct variety among the white corns, combining the largest grain 
with the smallest cob. Ears fill out well and will make more 
shelled corn to bulk of ears than any other variety. It is good for 
roasting ears to follow Early Surprise; makes splendid quality of 
corn meal. 
Price—% gal., 70c; 1 gal., $1.10; peck, $1.90; 14 bu., $3.35 
1136—MOSBY’S PROLIFIC (About 120 days)—The most prolific 
white cob, white corn for the South when planted on rich land. 
The stalks are tall, bearing 3 to 5 fine ears. The grains are long, set 
close to a small white cob, very uniform in shape, well filled. It 
has strong roots and is considered the most storm and drouth 
resistant open pollinated corn. 
Price—% gal., 65c; 1 gal., $1.00; peck, $1.90; 14 bu., $3.15 
STATE CERTIFIED SEED CORN 
The certification of seed corn is supervised by disinterested state 
authorities and is produced under very rigid regulations. Grown 
from superior strains that were bred many years for highest yield, 
purity, resistance to disease and strength of stalk. The Crop Im- 
provement Association inspects each field to see that it is isolated 
from other varieties to prevent crossing. After harvest the ears 
must be hand selected, true to type, sound, and normal germina- 
tion. State tests show that certified seed yields more than uncer- 
tified. The additional cost of a few cents an acre to plant certified 
strains will pay you back in dollars at harvest time. This insures 
certified corn to be the highest quality it is possible to buy. 
1140—CERTIFIED NEAL PAYMASTER (100 days)—Securing pure 
bred seed is the first step in producing a uniform heavy yielding 
corn crop. Since certified seed is a continual process of selection 
it results in constant improvement. Don’t fail to plant your best 
corn land to our Certified Paymaster for maximum yields. 
1141—CERTIFIED GOLDEN JARVIS PROLIFIC (90 days) —All 
of our Certified Jarvis is taken from stalks haying 2 good ears or 
more to insure transmitting its prolific characteristic. Plant your 
medium rich and upland in this most carefully selected seed corn. 
Price, either variety—% gal., 75c; 1 gal., $1.25; peck, $2.05; y% bu., 
$3.50.
