SILVER KINO, 

 WIS. NO. 7. 



Our Seed Corn Is all grown, 

 from carefully selected pedi- 

 greed stock. 



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 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 for this Corn of 10 bushels per acre 

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

 tion 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. 



Sample ear by mail, postage paid, 25c. * 



Quart 20c (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; bushel $3.50. 



EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN— 



(Wis. No. 8.) 



This Corn was secured by the Wisconsin Experi- 

 ment Station from Prof. Hays of the Minnesota Ex- 

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

 for its early maturity, and can be depended on to 

 ripen anywhere in Wisconsin, and is especially 

 adapted for the lake shore counties and northern Wis- 

 consin, 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. 



Sample ear by mail, postage paid, 25c. 



Quart 20c (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; bushel $3.50. 



GOLDEN GLOW CORN— 



(Wis* No. 12.) 



This variety, introduced lately by the Wisconsin 

 Experiment Station, is especially adaptable for the 

 central and southern sections of the state, being some- 

 what earlier than Wis. No. 7. It is a golden-yellow 

 Dent; ears average 7 to 8 inches in length, symmetri- 

 cal and well-filled with closely-set deep kernels. 



Sample ear by mail, postage paid, 25c. 



Quart 20c (by mail 35c); peck $1.00; bushel $3.50. 



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 cold, unfavorable seasons. The 

 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 faiUire. 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 

 $1.75; 2% bushels $4.00. 



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 is the best 

 and earliest of the 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 fur- 

 nished with leaf stalks; height from 7 to 8 feet. Quart 15c (by mail 30c per quart); peck 

 50c; bushel $1.65; 2% bushels $3.75.
