DIBBLE’S Improved 
Just 122 years ago (1826) a variety of Yellow Dent Corn was introduced 
to American farmers and named for the originator, Mr. J. B. Leaming. 
Soon ‘“‘Leaming Corn,” through sheer merit, became the most popular of 
the Dent Corns. Dibble’s Improved Leaming is at least ten days earlier 
than the common Leaming of commerce. We recommend it as the most 
popular open-pollinated variety for ensilage purposes for the Middle and 
New England States. 
Our Improved Leaming matures here in western New York in from 100 
to 110 days of good Corn weather; the stalks average from 10 to 15 feet in 
height, and we have put into our silos, many a time, 30 tons of ensilage per 
acre, that would have husked 100 to 125 bushels of ears. 
For over 100 years Leaming has proved to be one of the best varieties 
for ensilage. Dibble’s Improved Leaming is strictly high-grade, pedigree 
seed, from carefully selected, hand-picked ears, and sold to you subject to 
your own test. Keep it ten days and, if not right, return it and get your 
money back as per terms of our guarantee. You run absolutely no risk if 
you buy Dibble’s Improved Early Leaming. We shall be glad to send you 
samples free; so test them to your entire satisfaction. For prices, see Special 
Price-List.

YELLOW FLINT CORN 
Is the best Flint Corn in cultivation either for crop or silo. It is the 
largest-growing Flint variety, and one of the earliest, maturing here in the 
Genesee Valley in around 100 days. The stalks average 8 to 10 feet in 
height (under good cultivation sometimes 12 to 14 feet), from 1 to 3 feet 
taller than other Flint varieties we have grown alongside. The stalks leaf 
profusely nearly to the ground, and the stalks and leaves are sweet, making 
it the most desirable ensilage variety for those sections of our country known 
as “Flint Corn Land.” 
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GROWING CORN 
1. Corn yields best when a good sod is well manured and plowed under at least two weeks 
prior to Corn planting. 
E i las control is most efficiently attained by successive seed-bed operations prior to 
planting. 
. For silage, select a medium tall, leafy, erect, productive Corn that will reach hard dough 
stage by harvest. 
. For grain, select a Corn that is productive, has sturdy stalks and will get fully ripe. 
. Plant May 10 to 25, soil and weather se : ania 
conditions permitting. Follow fertilizer ¥ 
recommendations. 
6. For Grain, Corn in 36-inch rows should 
average one stalk per foot of row, and for 
silage one stalk per 9 inches of row. 
7. Round or small kernels produce as much 
Corn per acre as flat kernels, provided the 
proper planting rate is used. Test for 
accuracy of planting. 
8. Weeds should be controlled when small 
by shallow cultivation. Deep cultivation 
prunes Corn roots and reduces the yield. 
9. For maximum yields postpone harvest of 
silage till ears are at least in hard dough 
stage and of grain till ears are fully mature.

Golden Glow 
CORN 
An extremely early, pure golden 
yellow Corn, most attractive in color 
and appearance. It is strictly a Wis- 
consin Corn developed by the Wis- 
consin Experiment Station. The ears 
are of medium size, around 8 inches in 
length, and in spite of its earliness 
it grows good stalks with heavy leaves. 
We are offering only the “big type of 
Golden Glow” and the strain that has 
been bred to be “cold-resistant.” 
Golden Glow is very popular in north- 
ern New York and in regions having a 
similar growing season.
