 WIS. NO. 7. 



SILVER KING CORN— (Wis. No. 7.) 



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 Wis- 

 consin 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. Two years ago 275 members of the Wiscon- 

 sin 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. This was a remarkable yield when 

 taking into consideration that the average crop of Corn in Wisconsin was only 33 bushels 

 per acre. 



The Seed we offer of this Corn was grown in Fond du Lac County from stock sent out 

 by the Wisconsin Experiment Station. 



Price on the ear: Sample ear by mail, postage 

 paid, 25c; peck $1.00; bushel (70 lbs.) $2.75. 

 We do not offer this Corn shelled. 



EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN— 

 (Wis. No. 8.) 



This Corn was secured by the Wisconsin Experiment 

 Station from Prof. Hays of the Minnesota Experiment 

 Station in 1902, as Minn. No. 13. It is noted for its 

 early maturity, and can be depended on to ripen any- 

 where in Wisconsin, 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. It makes a fairly large stalk 

 growth, well clothed with leaves. The ears average 

 7 to 8 inches long. 



Price on the ear: Sample ear by mail, postage paid, 

 25c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.00. 



We do not offer this Corn shelled. 



MINNESOTA KING CORN— HALF DENT. 



For the North we consider this the most valuable 

 Corn grown. Matures a week earlier than any of the 

 " Dent Sorts. 



This is an exceedingly valuable Corn for the North- 

 west, where the Dent sorts cannot be depended upon 

 to mature a crop in seasons like the past two. '"he 

 ears are a fair size, with eight rows of broad yellow 

 kernels, half way between Flint and Dent. The stalks 

 average 7 feet in height, the ears being set about 3 

 feet from the ground. It possesses a remarkably 

 healthy and vigorous constitution, thereby enabling 

 it to withstand all extremes in the weather much bet- 

 ter than any other, so that it continues to grow and 

 mature under conditions that would render any other 

 sort a failure. Whatever the reason is it appears to 

 possess the faculty of growing under adverse circum- 

 stances, and is just the Corn for wet, cold seasons. 



Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart) ; peck 50c; bushel 

 $1.50; 2% bushels $3.50. 

 Pride of the North — No variety of Corn has been more 



extensively grown in the Northwestern States than 



this. It is early, with a fairly large ear and small 



cob, closely set with deep kernels; color bright yel- 

 low.

WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT CORN. 



The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. 

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

 excelled for Silage. 



This variety maintains its high reputation, and from 

 all quarters our customers assure us that this is the 

 best and earliest of the large Dent sorts. It com- 

 bines more solid merit than any Corn grown, being 

 suitable for all kinds of soils, but especiallysuited 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 (by mail 30c 

 per o."-7t); peck 50c; bushel $1.50; 2y 2 bushels $3.50.
