CORN. 



King of the Earlies Dent Corn. 



The Earliest Dent Corn iii Cultivation. Yields 

 more No. 1 Corn than any other known va- 

 riety. Ears medium in size. Cobs small. 



The past two seasons have demonstrated to the 

 farmers of the Northwest the importance of 

 planting only the earliest varieties of Corn, and 

 those that are Northern Grown. In King of the 

 Earlies we have without doubt the earliest and 

 best Dent Corn in existence. 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 excel- 

 lent fodder, unsurpassed in feeding qualities. 



The ears are medium in length, cob very sma'l, 

 closely set with long deep kernels very rich in 

 oil and starch. 



This Corn is eminently 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 can 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. 

 Our stock of it is carefully selected every year 

 from the earliest and best ears, making it as 

 nearly perfect as possible, and is unsurpassed in 

 uniformity of type. eaeliest of all 



For the Northwestern States, King of the Earlies is by far the best corn 

 than any other, and brings the highest market price at all times.

CURRIE'S EARLIEST OF ALL CORN. 



The Earliest Corn in Existence. Matures in about <>0 days from time of 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 in 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 clothed with leaves with rich feeding qualities. Stockmen will find this Corn in- 

 valuable in times' of scarcity of early fodder, and we would advise 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.

Brazilian Flour Corn— In this section grown mainly for fodder. It is a wonderful pro- 

 ducer, the stalks growing about S feet in height, stooling out so much that one kernel 

 frequently produces as many as eight stalks, each stalk .yielding two to three ears 

 of beautiful 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.
