If you want regular old-type corn, Hoffman offers 
you special advantages that will help you get ut- 
most yield from these fine old varieties. For 36 
years we've been supplying our friends with the 
right kind of seed. That means careful selection 
of seed fields, ear culling, perfect conditioning and 
proper grading. The man who plants his own corn 
never geis these advantages. Yet how important 
they are to a full row of vigorous seedlings in the 
spring and a full harvest in the fall! 
“LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP” 
Since Hoffman introduced this variety to Eastern 
farmers in 1912, more ‘Sure Crop” has been grown 
than all other varieties combined. It isn't a show 
corn, but if you like a large proportion of ears with 
well-glazed grain in your silo along with stalks, 
this corn will do it. 
Ears are long and big, with yellow grains rich in 
protein. Cobs are thin and run 12 to 16 rows. 
Grains are somewhat square and don't leave gaps 
between rows. About a bushel of corn to 66 to 68 
pounds of ears. Stalks are tall and leafy. Develops 
and matures early, and comes through droughts in 
fine shape. Soil? You don't have to worry. It 
doesn't demand rich soil. ‘Lancaster Sure Crop” 
has produced crops where other corns failed. De- 
pendable even well into the North. 
“LONG’S CHAMPION YELLOW” 
A little too late for Northern sections, but has turned 
in fine crops in Southeastem Pennsylvania 
counties. It produces a big, smooth ear with deep 
yellow grains—plenty of them. In Northern Penn- 
sylvania and New England States it has been a 
favorite for silage, producing heavy tonnage— 
topped only by the G Hybrids for silage developed 

for these sections. Don't plant it on poor soil. Feed 
it well. On good soil it will perform well. 
“WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT” 
A medium early corn that matures in Southern 
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio (except in 
higher altitudes). It is a big yielder. Ears are 
white, but sides of the grain show a healthy yel- 
low. Ears are compact, cob not too large, rows set 
close and grains are long and wide. 
“IMPROVED LEAMING” 
Called “rough and ready” because it is reliable for 
almost any soil. Good on poorer soils—fine on 
well-drained, fertile land. Grain is rich yellow, of 
good depth. Ear is well filled at both ends and be- 
tween rows. Red cob, medium size, 14 to 18 rows 
to the ear. Good for fodder, numerous wide leaves 
and thick stalks, though not extra tall. 
“GOLDEN QUEEN” 
Rich yellow corn, high in feed value, good-sized 
ears with medium-sized grain. A good show corn 
that matures in mid-season. Popular in South- 
eastern Pennsylvania. Tall, well-leafed fodder, but 
won't mature in Northern counties. 
“EARLY YELLOW LEAMING” 
One of the earlier yellow dent corns, well adapted 
for higher locations. Small ears, small cobs with 
grains of good size, coming low on the stalk. 
“EUREKA ENSILAGE” 
Produces heavy leafy silage—sometimes up to 16 
ft. tall. A favorite with dairy farmers. Too late for 
grain in the North. 
“8-ROW YELLOW FLINT” 
Grow this corn where your season is too short for 
the standards—in higher or medium-northern sec- 
tions. Eight rows of yellow grains to ears which 
run 9 to 11 inches long. 
“REID‘S YELLOW DENT” 
If this is the variety you want—practical yellow 
corn that turns in good crops—we have good seed 
ready for you. Grows successfully from Southern 
Pennsylvania south, except in higher altitudes. 
Ears are compact, with a thin, red cob and deep 
yellow grains. Regular rows set closely. 
“RED COB WHITE ENSILAGE” 
Special Virginia-grown ensilage corn that produces 
sweet, tender, juicy feed. Big tonnage producer, 
stalks have short joints, plenty of leaves. It grows 
a white corn on a red cob. Give good hard ears 
in long seasons.
