DIBBLE’S CORNELL 11 
__Cornell 11 is developed by ear-to-row selection from Pride of the North and 
differs from it mainly in being about two weeks earlier in maturity while in stalk 
It is about 1 foot shorter. The ears are characteristically cylindrical in shape, 
6 to 8 inches long, usually not well filled at tips and of 14 to 18 rows, with cob 
rather large. The kernels are medium broad and thick and rather shallow as 
compared with Leaming or Early Yellow Dent. The color is yellow but some 
reddish ears appear. The selection was designed not for producing a “Show” 
Corn but for high yield of grain and early maturity. Cornell 11 is recommended 
by the New York State Department of Plant-breeding as one of the most de- 
sirable varieties for the hill sections where the seasons are short. 
DIBBLE'S Zaly Yellow Dent Corn 
Introduced by us thirty-seven years ago as the earliest large Yellow Dent. 
During that time we have tried out, tested, and inspected fields of other Early 
Dents and we still say that this is the most desirable of the Early Dents for 
the eastern farmer. 
We do not advise its growth at high altitudes, such as the hill lands of New 
York, for a husking crop, but we do recommend it as the best early Yellow 
Dent for ensilage now grown. 
Dibble’s Early Yellow Dent planted here in the Genesee Valley country 
May 15 to June 1, is usually ready for the silo by early September, but many 
of our customers report that it matures earlier. The foltage is very leafy and 
the stalks average 10 to 12 feet in height. One field of 12 acres on one of our 
own farms measured 14 feet on the level for the entire field. The ears, 8 to 10 
inches in Jength, are closely set with bright yellow grains on a small cob. 
Hundreds of our customers in a dozen states plant Dibble’s Early Yellow Dent 
year after year.

DIBBLE’S 
Lancaster County Sure Crop 
A splendid Corn of Pennsylvania origin and the 
leading variety in Lancaster County, the most produc- 
tive agricultural county in the state. 
Sure Crop is developed from two well-known old 
varieties. It has long, rather large ears and small cob, 
is an extremely heavy yielder, medium as to time of 
ripening, with stalks 10 to 18 feet high. Rich protein 
content makes it most desirable for ensilage. Practically 
sure to ripen on good Cornland anywhere in the East 
in the latitude of Pennsylvania where the parent seed- 
stock was grown. Our 1946 crop averaged over 40 
bushels per acre of recleaned, screened, and graded 
Corn, germinating nearly 100 per cent.
