Agricultural Experiment Station, Purdue University 
Performance Record from Purdue University—3-year average acre yield ear cor 
Purdue 38............ 4605 pounds South American............ 2450 pounds 
PU RDUE 38 We do not believe you can equal this Hybrid for the commercial 
‘ grower. The quality is much superior to open polllinated pop corn 
but not quite equal to Purdue 20. The yield as shown by the table above exceeds all other pop 
corn Hybrids we know anything about. We popped Purdue 38 in our home all last year. The 
grains were abnormally large, the flavor was wonderful. 
Prices of Purdue 38—Postpaid, $1.40 per Ib.; 75c per 2 Ib.; 40c per 4 Ib.; 25c per trial packet. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, $1.15 per Ib.; 50-Ib. lots or over, $1.10 per Ib.

age length of the ears is 8% inches, and each stalk bears from two to six ears. The stalks 
range in height from twelve to fourteen feet, according to season and fertility of the soil. It

Joh nson County White Corn pure white and cob same color. The ears run 
sie from ten to eleven inches in length and about eight 
inches in circumference. The stalks make a good vigorous growth, well braced with a good system 
of brace roots, capable of withstanding severe wind storms, as well as drought. It is a variety 
very rich in protein, hence valuable for feeding purposes, also valuable for silo, as it makes as 
much fodder as the regular ensilage corn and so much larger proportion of ears, hence a much 
richer ensilage. Seed Corn prices $4.50 per bu. 
OHIO L94—THE NEW SILAGE HYBRID—OHIO L94

HYBRID SEED CORN PRICES 
Our Hybrid Seed Corn is graded over the most modern machinery for properly sizing corn 
kernels. First the small and inferior grains are taken out as they go though our Clipper 
Cleaner. They are next graded for thickness. Then for width and finally for length. Every 
process requires special machinery. These more even grades are offered at no extra cost. 
L A RGE FL AT GR AD These are the largest grains on the ear. They 
will in most all cases plant through your regular 
Planter Plates. We take a great deal of care to make this a very uniform grade of seed for the 
most critical growers who want only these large kernels. Price $8.00 per bu. 
MEDI U M FL AT GR ADE These grains are standard and only slightly 
smaller than the large grade described above. 
They are most regular in size and will in practically all cases plant through regular furnished 
Planter Plates. Medium kernels will plant two to three acres more than the large flats. More 
economical and most valuable grains on the ear. Price $8.00 per bu. 
S M ALL FL AT GR AD This is the most economical grade of seed to 
plant. We discard all of the very small grains 
and use only kernels that will, under any soil condition, have plenty of plant food to start the 
young corn plant. These grains are slightly smaller than the medium flats and are graded to 
plant regular and in many cases through your regular plates. This however will depend on the 
Hybrid and always plates should be checked very carefully before planting. Price $7.00 per bu. 
TH ICK F L AT G R ADE The grains in this grade are considered by many 
growers to carry more Vitality than any other 
kernels on the ear. They are of normal length and not over 2/64 inch thicker than the regular 
large flat grains. They do require special plates for your planter and will plant just as regular 
with these special plates as any of the flat grades will plant. It is merely a matter of planter 
plates and we will help you with them. See our Planter Plate Service below. Price $6.00 per bu. 
ROU N D GR Al N These kernels run over the 15/64 inch slot in our graders 
and as the name implies are round in shape. We discard 
the small round kernels then run the larger grains through our graders again into a medium 
round grade and large round grade. These grains require special Planter Plates and can be 
planted very regular. They are without question the most economical grades to plant and are of 
course cheaper in price. Some farmers believe they produce the best crops. We are not sure they 
produce better corn but we do know the crop is equally as good as that grown from any other 
size or shape grains planted. Here again we will help you with Planter Plates. Price $6.00 per bu. 
Scarff’s Planter Plate Service 
We have regular Planters set up in our Seed House and will gladly recommend the proper 
plates for use in the newer type machines, John Deere, McCormick, Deering and Black Hawk. 
All of our large and medium flat grades are as nearly as possible graded so they will plant 
through the regular plates furnished with the planter. Do not hesitate to ask about this service. 
The thick flat grains, round grains and small flat grains in most cases require plates other than 
nage furnished with the planter. Let us help you plant your corn by helping you with proper 
plates.
