CORN. 



SII.YEK KING, 

 WIS. NO. 7. 



SILVER KING — (Wis. No. 7) — Wisconsin Grown. 



This Corn was originally obtained by the Wisconsin Experiment Station from Northern 

 Iowa, and by a careful selection of the best and earliest ears we now have a White Dent 

 Corn with large ears, small cob and deep kernels, that is suited to our Wisconsin 

 conditions. 



The ears of this Corn average 8 to 9 inches in length, and are always well filled out to 

 the tips. As a yielder it has no superior. A few years ago 275 members of the Wisconsin 

 Experiment Association reported an average yield tor this Corn of 10 bushels per acre 

 more than any other sort. The same year Prof. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment 

 Station reported a yield of 75 bushels per acre of it, and since then yields of over 90 bushels 

 have been reported. These are remarkable yields when taking into consideration that the 

 average crop of Corn in Wisconsin is only about 35 bushels per acre. 



Quart, 20c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



EARLY YELLOW DENT. 



Wisconsin Grown. 



This Corn is known in Wisconsin as "Wisconsin 

 No. 8" and in Minnesota as "Minnesota No. 13," the 

 parent stock of what is now known as "Wis. No. 8" 

 having been secured by the Wisconsin Experiment 

 Station from Prof. Hays of the Minnesota Experiment 

 Station in 1902, as Minnesota No. 13. It is noted in 

 both states for its early maturity, and can be depended 

 on to ripen anywhere in Wisconsin, or in the same lati- 

 tude in other "states, and is especially adapted for the 

 lake shore counties and Northern Wisconsin, where 

 the seasons are too cool and short for Silver King and 

 other large sorts, and where, during the past few sea- 

 sons, it has been grown in large quantities and has 

 shown its great value as an ideal Northern Wisconsin 

 variety. It makes a fairly large stalk growth, well 

 clothed with leaves. The ears average 7 to 8 inches 

 long. Quart 20c; peck 80c; bushel $2.85. 



GOLDEN GLOW. 



(Wis. No. 12) — Wisconsin Grown. 



This variety, a cross between Wisconsin No. 8 and 

 another deeper kernelled, heavier yielding variety, 

 was introduced by Prof. R. A. Moore of the Wisconsin 

 Experiment Station a few years ago, and is especially 

 adapted to the latitude of Central and Southern Wis- 

 consin, being somewhat earlier than Wisconsin No. 7. 

 In many extreme northern counties it has matured 

 wonderful yields, and it is therefore one of the best 

 yellow Dent varieties for general use. It is a golden - 

 yellow Dent; ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, 

 symmetrical and well-filled with closely-set deep 

 kernels. Quart 20c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



MURDOCK YELLOW DENT. 



Wisconsin Grown. 



A pure yellow, heavy yielding Yellow Dent variety 

 maturing in 85 or 90 days, which, during the past few 

 years, has come prominently to the fore as one of the 

 best corns for the northern corn belt. In fact, it has 

 twice captured the sweepstakes at the National Corn 

 Show for the best corn from the northern corn zone. 

 The ears, solidly and deeply set with broad, even 

 kernels and averaging well over 8 inches in length, 

 are very uniform in size and shape, and are really 

 very handsome in appearance. It is the earliest yel- 

 low Dent next to the Golden Glow and Wisconsin 

 No. 8, yields almost, if not quite as heavily as Silver 

 King, and is a few days earlier in maturing. It pro- 

 duces a strong, vigorous, heavily-leaved stalk, which 

 makes it valuable for silage purposes. Quart 20c; 

 peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. 



The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. 

 Yields More First-Class Fodder Than Any Other. Un- 

 excelled (or Silage. 



Our Seed Corn is all grown 

 from carefully selected pedi- 

 greed stock. 



This variety maintains its high reputation, and from 

 all quarters our customers assure us that it is the best 

 of the earliest large Dent sorts. It combines more solid 

 merit than any Corn grown, being suitable for all 

 kinds of soils, but especially suited for poor, thin soil, 

 where it has out-yielded the well-known Learning by 

 at least 30 per cent. It matures along with Pride of 

 the North, but produces much larger ears and a greater bulk of fodder. The grain is deep, 

 flat and closely set together on handsome ears, white at the tip end, balance yellow. Ripens 

 in 90 to 95 days and is a sure variety to use in Wisconsin. Fodder strong and stocky, well 

 furnished with leaf stalks; height from 7 to 8 feet. Quart 15c; peck 50c; bushel $1.60. 

 2% bushels $3.75. 



Purchasers of one bushel Corn or more will please add 20c extra for each bag required. 

 If quart quantities or over are wanted by mail, add postage at Parcel Post rates. 

 1 quart packed weighs about 30 oxs.
