Johnson County White Dent Corn 



JOHNSON COUNTY WHITE DENT CORN. 



A Single Ear Has Won $1,000 in Prizes 



This wonderful white dent corn is one of 

 the sensations among progressive farmers. 

 During the Chicago and Omaha National 

 Corn Expositions, this variety has captured 

 prizes amoimting to $10,183.50. It also won 

 the Grand Prize at the St, Louis Exposi- 

 tion and the Silver Medal at the Paris 

 Exposition. 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 imiform in exhibit. 

 The ears are cylindrical in shape up to 

 within about 2 inches of the tip, where 

 there is a slight tapering. Both kernel 

 and cob are white. The tips of the ears are 

 well filled, a large percentage of them being 

 completely covered with grain. The butts 

 are deeply rounded with medium shanks. 

 The kernels are uniform in size and very 

 long and wedge-shaped. The ears will 

 average about 10 inches in length and from 

 7J to 8 inches in circumference. There is 

 very little space between the rows and this 

 variety yields a very high percentage of 

 shelled corn. The stalk is good and thrifty, 

 ranging in height from 10 to 12 feet. An 

 excellent root system enables the stalk to 

 stand up under a heavy load of corn even 

 during severe raui and wind storms. This 

 variety has no barren stalks and is practi- 

 cally free from smut and other corn dis- 

 eases. It is strong in pollen and stands a 

 great deal of scorching wind and sim. 

 Slatures in about 110 days. According to 

 analysis Johnson Coimty White Dent is 

 very rich in protein, which every stock 

 raiser will appreciate. This corn has been 

 known to yield from 100 to 125 bushels per 

 acre and gives excellent satisfaction to all 

 who have grown it as far north as 80 miles 

 above Philadelphia. As long as my supply

Minnesota King Corn 



A Yellow Half Dent Field Corn 



This famous 8-rowed field corn is neither 

 a dent nor a flint variety, but may be de- 

 scribed as a half dent. It is widely adver- 

 tised as the most valuable early field corn 

 ever sent out. The introducers claim that 

 no other sort will produce so largely and do 

 so well, taking poor years with good ones, 

 as Minnesota King. It is able to endure 

 conditions of both flood and drought with 

 remarkable success, but what is even more 

 significant it can withstand changes of 

 temijerature, and is but little injured by 

 heat or cold. It seems peculiarly adapted 

 to those locations where short seasons and 

 early autumn frosts make corn an uncer- 

 tain crop, maturing in about 85 days. The 

 grain is very broad and of an extremely 

 clear golden color. The S-rowed ear is of 

 good size and shape, with a small cob. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts„ 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 

 65 cts,; bushel, $2.25; 2 bushels, $4.25. 



NOTE. — Customers can order half 

 pecks of field corns at peck rates; 

 half bushels at bushel rates.
