EARLY LEAMING 
CORN 
Just 125 years ago (1826) a variety of 
Yellow Dent Corn was imtroduced 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 reaches the 
hard dough stage for ensilage here in 
Western New York in from 105 to 115 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.

Mammoth Eight-Rowed 
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 m 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.” |
