CORN. 



King of the Earliest Dent Corn. 



The Earliest Dent Corn in Cultivation. Yields 

 more No. 1 Corn than any other known va- 

 riety. Ears medium in size. Cobs small. 



The importance of planting only the 

 earliest varieties of Corn has been demon- 

 strated to the farmers of the Northwest dur- 

 ing the past few years. In King of the 

 Earlies we have without doubt the earliest 

 and best Dent Corn in existence. Color 

 bright golden yellow. The stalks grow from 

 6 to 8 feet in height, and are thickly cov- 

 ered with leaves close to the ground, yield- 

 ing a large amount of excellent fodder, un- 

 surpassed 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. It 

 can be husked earlier, will shell easier and 

 makes 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. 



EARLIEST 

 OF ALL CORN. 



KING OP THE EARLIES. 



Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart); peck 50c; bushel $1.50; 2% bushels $3.50. 



CURRIE'S EARLIEST OF ALL CORN. 



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 6 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 eardy 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 tim< f 

 when other work on the farm is usually light. * 

 Quart 20c (by mail 35c per quart); peck 

 $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



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

 producer, 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. 



Quart 20c (by mail 35c per quart); peck 75c; bushel $2.50. 



Purchasers of one hushel Corn or more will add 20e extra for each hag required.
