 one of the largest and most reliable growers of 

 corn in this country. Early Smoky Dent is today the earliest Dent Corn 

 in cultivation, maturing in 75 to 80 days; is a good yielder and entirely 

 free from disease; grows strong, quick, and has splendid 7 to 8 ft. fodder. 

 Pk., $1.00; bu., $3.50. 



Pnldon Woct Tnis variety will yield a larger crop than any other yellow 

 uOUjciI McSl corn in existence. It is vigorous in growth, very deeply rooted, 

 and produces broad-leaved stalks of medium height. It is most attractive 

 in appearance, and the ears usually have 18 to 20 rows of large kernels, 

 which are tightly wedged to make a solid ear. It requires about 100 days 

 to mature and deserves the attention of any grower who wants a big crop 

 of fine quality yellow: corn. Ph., 85c; bu., $3.00. 



Maturing perfectly in 90 days, and being very hardy 

 and prolific. Pride of the North has become a favorite 

 among Northern growers and planters needing a 90-day variety. The ears 

 are of medium size with very small red cob. The kernels are closely set, 

 long and compact. Pk., 85c; bu., $3.00. 



Pride of the North 



r^Hon Raaiitv ^* ' s a ' arge an< ^ broad- grained Yellow Corn. The ears of 

 UUlUcu DcdUiy perfect shape, with from ten to fourteen straight rows of 

 grains. The cob is very small. Pk., 85c; bu., $3.00. 



Learning Improved Dent 



A very popular and .extremely productive variety. 



On good lands the stalks grow tall, producing two 

 good ears to each stalk. The ears are long, with small red cob well filled 

 with grains of medium size, but deep, of a rich golden color. It ripens with 

 us in from 100 to 110 days, and makes a good crop, even in dry seasons, by 

 reason of its earliness in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. The stalks 

 are rather slender and leafy, making excellent fodder, while the grains, being 

 so deep or long, yield an extra large quantity of shelled corn per bushel 

 of ears. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.50. 



fnurt Cn]A Mina Not a ' aI °se corn, but the best thing we know of for me- 

 lOWd U0IU llllUC dium early. We offer the pure strain Gold Mine, and rec- 

 ommend it. With the expert farmer Gold Mine is known as medium early, 

 between the 110 day and the extra early sorts that mature in eighty-five 

 days. It is, however, a great producer and sure cropper. Ears are me- 

 dium, symmetrical. Color bright golden yellow. The grain is deep and the 

 cob is small. For this reason it dries out quickly, producing sixty-two to 

 sixty-three pounds of shelled corn to seventy pounds _of ears. Stalks make 

 excellent silage or fodder. Pk., 75c; bu., $2.50. 



I,v,,.w«., n J Mm.,,l« n /I V/Jln.iT H/Liit This magnificent Golden Yellow Corn is 

 Improved [Maryland iellOW Uent the result of a cross with the Golden West 

 and Maryland Yellow Dent, both well-known varieties. The ears will mea- 

 sure from 12 to IB inches in length with 14 to 18 rows of very deep grains 

 closely placed on the cob. We feel assured that the strain has been fully 

 established and will mean larger and more profitable crops to the grower. 

 Pk., 85c; bu., $2.50. 



I CJlirar Mina The National White Corn. In Iowa Silver Mine is stand- 



10Wa Oliver ltilllc a rd. In other sections it is becoming well and favorably 

 known. It is a remarkable drought resister and under adverse conditions 

 seems to pull through and make a crop where other varieties fail. Silver 

 Mine is deep grained, pure white, rough-topped, with a small, white cob. 

 Ears run from 9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 20 rows of pure white kernels, 

 solidly set on ears well filled out at butt and tip. This corn is a drought re- 

 sister, maturing in hot climates where early droughts are frequent. Stalks 

 medium height, very leafy,- with broad blades, frequently bearing two ears 

 weighing 1 to 1% pounds each. Iowa Silver Mine has probably taken as 

 many sweepstakes and first premiums as any corn in existence. Pk., 85c; 

 bu., $2.50. 



fTinntw Whilo Boone County is a very large white corn, something 

 l/OUuiy Willie iik e silver Mine, but larger and later in maturing. It 

 is a native standard variety in Illinois, Boone County is peculiarly suited to 

 all the Southern States, as it ripens earlier than the native corn and will 

 not be forced ahead too rapidly, owing to its slow growing tendencies. Ears 

 well filled out at both ends, cylindrical, 9 to 11 inches long, averaging 20 

 rows, some IS and 22. Grain very deep, a little rough. Cobs white, of me- 

 dium size. Boone County is a show corn, and has carried off many premiums 

 offered at corn contests — state and county fairs. Matures in 110 to 120 days. 

 Pk., 85c; bu., $3.00.
