on account of its- <br> immense yield at least 25 per cent and often 50 per cent more than can be obtained from the average <br> old-type Corns generally planted <br> Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr I S Long one of the <br> most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn belt <br> The ears are of immense size 12 to 14 inches in length 8 to 11 inches in circumference carrying 20 <br> to 24 uniform rows of long large kernels well developed over tip and butt It is a luxuriant grower about <br> 12 to 15 feet high and in Lebanon County Pa where it originated has never failed to mature by September <br> 20th when planted during the first half of May There is but a limited quantity of seed for sale which <br> can only be had through us See cut Price 1 00 pk 3 25 bushel 10-bushel lots 3 15 per bushel <br> HENDERSON'S EUREKA CORN <br> One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder � 150 bushels of <br> shelled Corn per acre is not unusual The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high a large proportion of them bearing <br> two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome averaging 12 to 15 inches long with small red <br> cob covered full and over both butt and tip ends with 18 to 22 even rows of large deep grain of a rich <br> orange-yellow color It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn but of course does not mature as quickly <br> as the small early Dent and Flint varieties but where 100 to 110 days of Corn weather are assured it <br> is the Corn to grow It gives unqualified satisfaction from New Jersey to Ohio and south but north cf <br> that latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored localities Price 80c pk 2 75 bushel <br> 10-bushel lots 2 65 per bushel <br> WOOD'S NORTHERN <br> WHITE <br> DENT <br> CORN <br> to the acre than any Corn 1 ever grew before on my farm ' <br> JOHN LYONS <br> Aitorney-at-Law Rockville Centre L I <br> A GREAT CORN FOR THE SILO <br> / send you a photo showing a crop of Long's Champion Com from <br> your seed From less than 2 acres 1 filled a silo 10 x 26 feet The Corn <br> averaged 14 ft high and was well eared <br> L A TERWILLICER <br> Jan 16 1913 Chenango Forks Broome Co N Y <br> The earliest large White Dent ripens thoroughly in latitudes south of Albany and Buffalo Extra- <br> ordinarily prolific often yielding 110 bushels shelled Corn per acre Large ears 10 to 12 inches long 7 <br> to 8 inches in circumference Long kernels small cob Ears 2 to 3 feet from the ground Plant leafy <br> and luxuriant making fine fodder It is the earliest large White Dent Corn we know of Price 80c pk <br> 2 75 bushel 10-bushel lots 2 65 per bushel <br> He-ndersonj JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT <br> This grand variety introduced by us several years ago has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers <br> in this country It is of strong branching growth stands up well and produces from two to four times <br> as much grain as any other variety under same conditions It is also fully a week earlier The seed of <br> our Japanese variety is nearly as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the finest flour and for <br> bees has practically displaced all other sorts where known <br> The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has grown Henderson's New Japanese <br> Buckwheat for two years and found it much superior to the old varieties It is larger and stronger <br> stands up better during storms and the grains are larger but what places it far ahead of other varieties is <br> that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry hot weather It can also be sown much earlier than other <br> varieties thus avoiding loss by early frost <br> Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest Japanese type imported by us for <br> stock seed and is therefore immensely superior to that grown here for several seasons whereby it has <br> deteriorated Sow 1 bushel per acre See cut Price 60c pk 1 90 per bushel of 48 lbs 10-bushel <br> lots 1 80 per bushel <br> Truly the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements in a single line of grain of the present <br> age All other kinds of Buckwheat can be well thrown aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our land but <br> farmers in general can unite in tendering a vote of thanks to our enterprising seedsmen Peter Henderson <br> and Co From �'GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE <br> IT WAS A <br> BUMPER <br> CROP <br> The enclos- <br> ed photograph <br> shows a picture <br> of myself stand- <br> ing amongst my <br> bumper crop of <br> Long's Cham- <br> pion Corn As <br> you will notice <br> it is at least 14 <br> ft high The ears <br> are immense <br> fully 14 in long <br> well developed at <br> thetip andgrow- <br> ing close to the <br> butt <br> The crop <br> ripened inside <br> of 110 days and <br> certainly yielded <br> one-third more <br> Purchaser Pays Transportation on Farm Seeds <br> IF WANTED BY <br> PAFXEL POST <br> see Page 1 for Zone Rates and Add Postage 43874862 149634 78295 Page 70 Text http //www biodiversitylibrary org/page/43874862 c1915 10 5962/bhl title 78295 Henry G Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection ;
