Ten days earlier and much more desirable in every way than the old Sweepstakes Ensilage Corn. 
This variety is grown for us in Central Pennsylvania near Williamsport. The New York State College 
of Agriculture found it gave a large green tonnage and matured early enough to qualify as an excellent 
silage variety. It ears heavily and matures earlier than most other varieties sold under the name of 
Sweepstakes. 
Dibble’s West Branch Sweepstakes is a blend, made by crossing Lancaster Sure Crop, White Cap 
Yellow Dent, and a red variety of the Bloody Butcher type. The plant is a vigorous grower, 10 to 15 
feet on good soil, ears 8 to 12 inches in Jength, with 12 to 20 rows of kernels. Cob is usually large and 
rather well filled at the tip. The color of kernels varies from Red to White Cap Yellow Dent. 
We have been selecting for the red-kernel type and have thereby cut down materially on the per- 
centage of white-cap yellow ears. Some ears, however, have kernels with very light- 
colored caps and only a tinge of red on the sides of the kernels. Others are nearly red. 
It has been an exceptionally favorable fall for the maturing of this variety and we have 
some very choice high-germinating seed to offer. 
Dibble’s West Branch Sweepstakes is the most popular ensilage variety in all sections 
of New York State, except at high elevations where an earlier sort is needed. 
We have bought our seed supply from you for many years and have always been satisfied 
100 per cent and shall continue to order from you with complete confidence.—J. C. THomrson 
& Son, Unionville, Conn. 
DIBBLE’S Big Red Dent Corn 
Is a Corn of great value and well worthy of trial. We found this Corn in 
Northern Ohio several years ago, and in comparison with Improved Leaming 
on adjoining farms, it has larger and more vigorous stalks. It grew more and 
bigger foliage than the Leaming, with bigger ears and more of them, and 
ripened earlier. Experience on our farms has given the same results, and a 
number of the leading dairymen in our section, after seven years’ experience, 
consider it the best ensilage Corn for western New York. There have been 
raised at least 100 acres of it m our town that would have husked 125 to 150 
bushels of sound, dry Corn to the acre if it had not been put into the silos. 
Dibble’s Big Red Dent grows tall and vigo.ous, with leafy stalks, and is a 
remarkable producer. The kernels when thoroughly dry are of a beautiful 
reddish tint, well set on a small, red cob. Recommended for trial in all sections 
where Improved Leaming gives good results. 


We found your statement of Big Red Dent to be true in comparison to 
the Early Leaming. It just seemed to have the edge over Early Leaming in 
every respect. However, both crops were very good.—F. W. Burns, Rey- 
noldsville, Pa. 
I planted this Big Red Dent Ensilage Corn last year and had the best 
Ensilage Corn I have ever planted — Harry LrEEsLEy, Cochecton, N. Y.
