Ross’ Genuine Eureka 
Ensilage Corn 
This is a variety of silage Corn that has been 
used for many years in all of our 48 states and 
in some provinces. of Canada in preference to 
many other heavy yielding varieties. It will 
produce a tremendous crop of silage in any 
normal season and will withstand drought and 
flood better than most Corns, germinating well 
in cold, wet soils. 
If planted about May 15th in New England, 
Eureka will produce two or more mammoth 
ears per stalk which are usually in the milk 
stage at cutting time, giving the Eureka silage 
a very superior quality. 
Eureka Corn was introduced by Ross Bros. 
many years ago and has been offered by us 
every year since its introduction. 
If you will plant Eureka this year, we know 
you will be pleased with the results. Send to us 
direct for your seed or ask your local dealer to

record has never been beaten.

Know the Pests of Your Garden | 
Chewing or biting insects, such as caterpillars, beetles, grasshoppers, Tomato worms, 
etc., can be controlled best by applying poison sprays or dusts to the plants and leaves 
on which the insects feed. 
Sucking insects, such as Squash bugs, aphids, leaf hoppers, and mites, drill holes into 
the leaves or stalks of the plants and suck out the plant juices. Because of this, stomach 
poisons will not kill them and contact poisons must be used. Spray on the insect itself 
or spray heavy enough so that it will get on the insect when he lights on plant. 
Scale insects which grow hard protective shells are easily killed by lime-sulphur 
solution or Scalecide. These must be applied while foliage is off the plants.
