802 Droughtproof 

 Yellow Dent Corn 



Resists Drought and Scorching Heat 

 Better Than Any Other Variety 



Droughtproof originated in Erie 

 County, Ohilo, and came to us ttirough 

 Mr. C. y. Claris, from whom we origi- 

 nally obtained the celebrated Early 

 Mastodon that today is well and fa- 

 vorably known in all sections of the 

 country. Mr. Clark wrote to us in 

 1901 that If we wanted something dis- 

 tinctly better than anything ou the 

 market in the way of a bright yellow 

 dent corn, he had it, and would give 

 us the first chance at it. It took us 

 but a short time to place with Mr. 

 Clark probably the largest order ever 

 given for any variety of corn the first 

 year; in fact, we took Mr. Clark's en- 

 tire crop. 



Our own field notes in regard to 

 Droughtproof Yellow Dent were in 

 substance as follows: 



The largest gi-ain of any Yellow 

 Dent Corn. The smallest cob of any 

 Yellow Dent Corn. Brightest color of 

 grain. Fully as early" as Leaming. 

 "iield not excelled by any other sort. 

 Strong growth of stalk and hand- 

 some ear. An unusual yield of 

 shelled corn insured by great depth 

 of grain. 



We do not hesitate to say that, all 

 points considered — its beautiful color, 

 «!mall cob, long yellow grains, large 

 ears — taking all points combined. It 

 is the finest yellow corn ever intro- 

 duced, and each customer who gives 

 It a trial will be fully convinced that 

 It is the best 90 to 100 day corn he ever 

 planted. 



Droughtproof Corn Is phenome- 

 nally excellent, and should be tried 

 by all farmers. It will yield big 

 crops wherever corn can be grown. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 

 3 pounds, 75 cts., postpaid. By 

 express or trelght, not prepaid, 

 peck, 85 cents; bushel, S3.00;

 White Dent 



JOHNSON COUNTY WHITE DENT CORN. 



A Single Eeu- Has Won 



$1,000 in Prizes 



This wonderful white dent 

 corn is one of the sensations 

 among progressive farmers. Dur- 

 ing the Chicago and Omaha Na- 

 tional Corn Expositions, this 

 variety has captured prizes 

 amounting to 810,183.50. It has 

 also won the Grand Prize at the 

 St. Louis Exposition and the 

 Silver Medal at the Paris Expo- 

 sition. The reason for this is 

 because it complies with the 

 score card more than any other 

 corn grown. The high breeding 

 of this variety makes it uniform 

 m exhibit. The ears are cylin- 

 drical in shape up to within 

 about 2 inches of the tip. Both 

 kernel and cob are white. The 

 tips of the ears are well filled, a 

 large j^ercentage being complete- 

 ly covered with grain. The ker- 

 nels are uniform in size and 

 very long and wedge-shaped. 

 The ears will average about 10 

 inches m length and from 7i to 

 8 inches in circuinference. There 

 IS very little space between the 

 rows and this variety yields a 

 ^ ery high percentage of shelled 

 corn. The stalk is good and 

 thrifty, ranging in height from 

 10 to 12 feet. Matures in about 

 110 days. This corn has been 

 known to yield from 100 to 125 

 bashels per acre.
