LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEDS FOR 1914. 45 
CORN... =) 
SILVER KING—cwis. 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 § 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 for 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 (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 
/BARLY YELLOW DENT. 
(Wis. No. 8)—Wisconsin Grown. 
This Corn was secured by the Wisconsin Experi- 
ment Station from Prof. Hays of the Minnesota Ex- 
periment Station in 1902, as Minnesota No. 13, and is 
an improved strain of that excellent sort. It is 
noted 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. Sinaia (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 
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 yel- 
low Dent varieties for general use. It isa golden-yellow 
Dent; ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, symmetri- 
eal and /well-filled with closely-set deep kernels. 
Quart 20¢c (by mail 35c); 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 (by | 
SILVER KING, mail 35¢); peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. i 
WIS. No. 7, 
HITE CAP YELLOW DENT. 
Our Seed Corn is all grown The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. 
from carefully selected pedi- Yields More First-Class Fodder Than Any Other. Un- 
greed stock, excelled for Silage. 
This variety maintains its high reputation, and from 
5 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 Leaming 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 15ce (by mail 30c per quart); 
peck 60c; bushel $2.00; 21%4 bushels $4.75.
