CORN 



The Corn we offer is shelled from selected ears, carefully tipped and graded. We recommend our Wisconsin grown Corn 

 first of all as the best for planting in Wisconsin, but where silage is wanted we have always found Nebraska grown Seed 

 Corn to give entire satisfaction. Our stocks are as represented "and are In every way suitable for seeding purposes. 



SILVER KING— (Wis. No. 7). 



This Corn was originally obtained by the Wisconsin Exper- 

 iment 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 filled out to the tips. As a yielder it has no super- 

 ior. A few years ago the Wisconsin Experiment Station re- 

 ported a yield of 75 bushels per acre, and since then yields of 

 over PO 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. Wiscon- 

 sin Grovpn or Nebraska Grown. 



EARLY YELLOW DENT— (Wis. No. 8). 



This corn is known in Wisconsin as "Wisconsin No. 8" and 

 in Minnesota as "Minnesota No. 13." It is noted for its early 

 maturity, and can be depended on to ripen anywhere in Wis- 

 consin, or in the same latitude in other states. It 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. W^isconsin GroTvn or 

 Nebraska Gro^vn. 



GOLDEN GLOW— (Wis. No. 12). 



This variety, a cross between Wisconsin No. 8 and another 

 deeper kerneled, 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 Wisconsin, being somewhat earlier than Wiscon- 

 sin No. 7. In many extreme northern counties it has matured 

 w^onderful 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. Wisconsin Grown or 

 Nebraska Grown. 



MURDOCK YELLOW DENT. 



A pure yellow, heavy yielding Yellow Dent variety matur- 

 ing in 85 or 90 days. The ears average well over 8 inches In 

 length, are very uniform in size and shape, and are really 

 very handsome in appearance. It is the earliest yellow 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 produces a strong, vigorous, heavily- 

 leaved stalk, which makes it valuable for sileage purposes. 

 Wisconsin GrOTt-n or Nebraska Grown. 



CURRIE'S EARLIEST OF ALL. 



The Earliest Dent Corn in Existence. Matures in about 

 60 days from time of planting. Yields t'wo 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 lAll will be ready for use in July. The stalks grow about 

 6 feet in height, well clothed, with leaves with rich feeding 

 qualities. It w^ill not take the place of the large-eared, 

 heavy yielding sorts, but where extreme earliness is desired 

 there is no other variety equal to it. A highly profitable 

 variety to grow in sections where even the earliest of the 

 heavier yielding Dent sorts cannot be depended upon to ma- 

 ture a crop. 



KING OF THE EARLIEST DENT. 



Color, bright golden yellow. The stalks grow from 6 to 8 

 feet in height, and are thickly covered with leaves close to 

 the ground, yielding a large amount of excellent fodder. The 

 ears are medium in length, cob very small, closely set with 

 long, deep kernels. This Corn is eminently adapted for plant- 

 ing in the northern limits of the Corn Belt, and will mature 

 a crop in 85 to 95 days. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. 



The Best Corn for the Northwestern Stockman. Unexcelled 

 for Silage. 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 within 

 a few days of Golden Glow^ and 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. Fodder strong and 

 stocky, well furnished with leaf stalks; height from 7 to 8 

 feet. 



EARLY FLINT CORN. 



Canada Smut Nose Flint — A favorite extra early, golden-yel- 



lowr sort. Ears 8-rowed and very long. 



Extra Early, Canada Flint — For the North Is an exceedingly 



valuable variety. The ears are long with eight rows of bright 



golden-yellow Corn. 



Longfellow Flint — A prolific early 8-rowed yellow variety of 



very handsome appearance. The ears are close, with large. 



broad kernels. 



Wisconsin AVhite Flint (Sanford's) — An excellent variety of 



good size; grain a dusky white color. The best and earliest 



of all the Flint sorts. 



CURRIE'S PEDIGREE RED COB 

 FODDER CORN. 



This variety is grown in great quantities in the large dairy 

 regions of W^isconsin, for early use. It is sweet, tender and 

 juicy, has short joints, abundance of leaves, and grows to a 

 great height, furnishing more than double the bulk or ordinary 

 field Com. 



Purchasers of one bushel Corn or more -will please add 50c 

 extra for each bag required. When t^vo or more pounds are 

 ivanted by mail, add postage at Parcel Post rates. See page 1.
