EARLIEBT 

 OF ALL COBN. 



ICing of the Earlies Dent Corn. 



Tlie Earliest Dent Corn in Cultivation. Yields 

 more No. 1 Corn than any other known va- 

 riety. Ears medium in size. Cobs small. 



The past two seasons have demonstrated to 

 the farmers of the Northwest the importance 

 of planting only the earliest varieties of 

 Corn, and those that are Northern Grown. 

 In King of the Earlies we have without 

 doubt the earliest and best Dent Corn in ex- 

 istence. Color bright golden yellow. The 

 stalks grow from 6 to 8 feet in height, and 

 are thickly covered with leaves close to the 

 ground, yielding a large amount of excellent 

 fodder, unsurpassed in feeding qualities. 



The ears are medium in length, cob very 

 small, closely set with long- deep kernels 

 very rich in oil and starch. 



This Corn is eminently adapted for plant- 

 ing in high latitudes, and will mature a crop 

 farther north than any other Dent Corn. For 

 shelling there is no Corn -will compare with 

 it. It can be husked earlier, will shell easier 

 and make better fodder than any other 

 known sort. It ripens earlier, dries out 

 quicker, makes better fodder, stands drought 

 better and will yield more No. 1 Shelled Corn 

 than any other variety. 



King of the Earlies can be depended upon 

 to mature a very heavy crop of first-class 

 corn in the northern part of Wisconsin or 

 Minnesota. Our stock of it is carefully se- 

 lected every year from the earliest and best 

 ears, making it as nearly perfect as possible, 

 and is unsurpassed in uniformity of type. 



For the Northwestern States, King of the Earlies is by far the best corn. Yields 

 more than any other, and brings the highest market price at all times. 



Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart); peck 50c; bushel $1-50; %}/ z bushels $3.50. 



GURRKE'S EARLIEST OF JILL GORKI. 



The Earliest Corn in Existence. Matures in about 60 days from time of planting. 



Yields two to three ears to the stalk. Furnishes Fodder in the 



hot, dry summer months. 



Planted at the same time as other Corn, Currie's Earliest of All will be ready for 



use in July, coming in at a time when fodder is generally short, and filling in a gap 



until the main crop of corn can be used. The stalks grow about six feet in height, 



well clothed with leaves with rich feeding qualities. Stockmen will find this Corn 



invaluable in times of scarcity of early fodder, and we would advise planting at least 



a small acreage of it, enough to carry them over the early dry season. A second crop, 



of this corn may be planted on the same 



ground after the first has been taken off, 



yielding a good crop of fodder late in the 



season. We do not advise growing this Corn 



for main crop in this section. It will not 



take the place of King of the Earlies for 



that purpose, the yield of corn being much 



less, but where extreme earliness is desired 



there is no other variety equal to it. The 



crop can be cut and put away long- before 



there is any chance of frost, and at a time 



when other work on the farm is usually light. 

 Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart); peckj 



50c; bushel $1.50; 2Vz bushels $3.50. 

 Pride of the IVorth — No variety of Corn has been more extensively grown in the North- 

 western States than this. It is early, with a fairly large ear and small cob, closely 

 set with deep kernels; color bright yellow. 



Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart); peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 2% bushels $3.00. 

 Brazilian Flour Corn — In this section grown mainly for fodder. It is a wonderful pro- 

 ducer, the stalks growing about 8 feet in height, stooling out so much that one kernel 

 frequently produces as many as eight stalks, each stalk yielding two to three ears 

 of beautiful white corn. The corn contains a greater percentage of starch than any 

 other, and if ground and bolted the same as wheat, makes a fine flour, much esteemed 

 by many for making- bread and pastry. 



It is a splendid variety for ensilage, producing about four times as much fodder as 

 the ordinary corn. Plant two kernels in each hill, and cultivate the same as any 

 other corn.
