CORN. 
KING OF THE EARLIES DENT CORN. 
The Earliest Dent Corn in Existence. Yields more 
No. 1 Corm than any other known variety. 
Ears medium in size. Cobs smail. 
This is without doubt the earliest and finest Dent - 
Corn. Color bright golden yellow. The stalks N ! Rae A 
grow from 6 to 8 feet in height, and are thickly a \\ Ail Ny ATER ay 
covered with leaves, close to the ground, yielding ie wi \ Z ; 
a large amount of excellent fodder, unsurpassed 
in feeding qualities. 
The ears are medium in length, cob very small, 
closely set with long deep kernels very rich in oi) 
and starch. 
This Corn iseminently adapted for planting in 
high latitudes, and will mature a crop farther north 
than any other Dent Corn. For shelling there is 
no Corn will compare with it. It ean be husked 
earlier, will shell easier and make better fodder 
than any other known sort. It ripens earlier, 
dries out quicker, makes better fodder, stands 
drought better and will yield more No. 1 Shelled 
Corn than any other variety. 
King of the Earlies can be depended upon to 
mature a very heavy crop of first-class corn in the 
northern part of Wisconsin or Minnesota, where 
even the Karly Flint sorts often fail. Our stock of - 
it is carefully selected every year from the earliest 
and best ears, making it as‘nearly perfect as pos- 
sible, and is unsurpassed in uniformity of type. 
For the Northwestern States, King of the Earlies 
is by far the best corn. Always maturing before TA = 
frost. Yields more than any other, and brings i 
the highest market price at all times. :

CURRIE’S EARLIEST OF ALL CORN. 
The Earliest Corn in Existence. Matures in about 60 days irom time oi planting. Yields two 
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 All will be ready for use ir 
July, coming in at a time when fodder is generally short, and filling in a gap until the 
main crop of corn can be used. The stalks grow about six feet in height, well clothec 
with leaves with rich feeding qualities. Stockmen will find this Corn invaluable in times 
of scarcity of early fodder, and we would advice planting at least a small acreage of it, 
enough to carry them over the early dry season. A second crop of this corn may be 
planted on the same ground after the first has been taken off, yielding a good crop of 
fodder late in the season. We do not advise growing this corn for main crop in this 
section. It will not take the place of King of the Earlies for that purpose, the yield of 
corn being much less, but where extreme earliness is desired there is no other variety 
equal to it. The crop can be cut and put away long before there is any chance of frost, 
and at a time when other work on the farm 
is usually light.

Pride of the North—No variety of Corn 
has been more extensively grown in the North- 
western States than this. It is early, with a 
fairly large ear and small cob, closely set with 
deep kernels; color bright yellow. It will shell 
60 to 64 Ibs. per bushel of 70 lbs. of ears, 14

shelled of this variety which produced 64 lbs. of shelled Corn and only 6 lbs. of cobs to 
the bushel. This is without doubt the best of the medium early Corn for quality and 
cropping powers. Quart, 15c; peck, 40c; bushel, $1.25; 24 bushels, $3.00. 
Brazilian Flour Corn—In this section grown mainly for fodder. It is a wonderful 
producer, the stalks growing about 8 feet in height, stooling out so much that one kernel 
trequently produces as many as eight stalks, each stalk yielding two to three ears of beau- 
tiful white corn. The corn contains a greater percentage of starch than any other, and 
if ground and bolted the same as wheat, makes a fine flour, much esteemed by many for 
making bread and pastry. 
It is a splendid variety for ensilage, producing about four times as much fodder as the 
ordinary corn. Plant two kernels in each hill, and cultivate the same as any other corn.
