Eureka Ensilage. An extra large southern corn grown and selected with great care to 
keep the true vigorous stock. White seed, luxuriant and heavy in stalk and foliage. Will ordi- 
narily produce more tons of ensilage than any other open pollinated variety but does not 
have the food value of the higher grain producing hybrids, neither will it stand up as well. We 
have had stalks 17 feet, 10 inches tall. 25c. 5.50 
Iowa Hybrid 939. A Yellow Dent, primarily for shell corn, requires approximately ten 
or twelve days less to mature than does U. S. No. 13, or about:the same as Lancaster Sure 
Crop. The ears are good sized with medium stalks. Makes a good crop ................. 35c. 9.00 
U. S. No. 13 Hybrid. A Yellow Dent of remarkable vigor. Very attractive dark green 
leafy plants that have the ability to stand erect, which is an important factor in the cost of 
harvesting. U.S. No. 13 is adaptable to Connecticut except in the higher section of Litch- 
field County. Corn planted May 15th to June Ist, the earlier the better, not only reaches the 
ideal medium soft dough stage for the silo, but normally has time to mature earsfor shell 
corn. The food value per acre is high, and prferable to more tonnage of corn reaching only 
the early “milk .stage ype Xo SLA esiyc ie sa eee tae weep ner 08 is cay a) « acrnne: shta oleae egret eae 35c. 9.00 
Ohio C 12. A high yielding corn very similar to U. S. 13 but more resistant to corn borer. 
The same in season and adapted to same localities as U. S. 13. It is our first choice for either 
grain or ensilage in most parts of Connecticut, if planted May 15 to June 1. Our stéck of this 
has been produced under such care that we expect it will out-produce any other. For those 
who have not yet switched from the older varieties, we cannot, from experience of the past 
few years, recommend too highly that they do so at least over a part of their acreage ....... 35c. 9.00
