Queen of the Prairie, or Pride of the North. This is an early Yellow Dent, medium size, 
uniform ears, cob small; a winner in many shelling contests

115 days. Grain is yellow tinted red. A vigorous, leafy stalk; makes a heavy yield of both 
ensilage and ears in good season 
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

dark green in color, ears are borne low on the stalk and have 14 to 16 rows of large, fairly 
deep, richly colored kernels. An excellent corn for grain in almost any part of Connecticut, 
about ten or twelve days earlier than U. S. 13. Yields more shell corn than any other of like

U. S. No. 13 Hybrid. A Yellow Dent of remarkable vigor. 
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 ears for shell 
corn. The food value per acre is high, and preferable to more tonnage of corn reaching only
