Improved Klondike Field Corn. 



This year I offer an Improved Klondike Corn that will fully equal in yield and every other 

 quality, the Klondike that I have been furnishing my customers for the last seven years. A 

 thoroughbred that has fulfilled its promise. Improved Klondike Corn combines more solid 

 merits than any corn I know of. Its great merit lies in the fact that it is a natural yielder. The 

 Illustration onthis page is an exact reproduction of an average ear. The color is a rich golden 

 yellow, the ears are large, cobs medium size, butts and tips well covered, grains close together; 

 the fodder growsstrong and abundant, but not coarse; ears set in fine form about 4 feet from the 



ground, often setting two good size ears to a stalk. 

 The Improved Klondike was brought to my attention 

 ^ a few years ago, and after a thorough trial I became 



m convinced that I had a corn that could be honestly 



yp recommended as a rival of the famous Mastodon. 



Matures in 100 to 120 days, according to the season.

Anthony Ottes. Mt. Clemens, Mich.— For several years I 

 have planted your seeds in my greenhouses, as well as in 

 field and garden, and wish to compliment you on their 

 quality, purity and high percentage of germination, all of 

 which is of great importance to anyone using seeds, but 

 especially for the market gardener, who depends for a liv- 

 ing on the products of his truck patch. It seems almost an 

 injustice to single out any special items in your list, but I 

 bless the day when I got acquainted with your Earliest of 

 All and Magnificent Tomatoes, for they have made much 

 money for me. Enclosed I hand you some pictures of 

 your Hundred Weight Pumpkin, raised from your seed, 

 it weighed 110 pounds. 



Snow White Dent Corn. 



Has proven the grandest milling corn in the 

 world, and far above all other varieties of white 

 corn in its average yield and germinating power. 



In Snow White Dent we have a corn that 

 combines very white color with large size, com- 

 pactness and smoothness of grain and sure ma- 

 turity. It has a medium ear and grows very 

 large, compact, close set grains well filled out. 

 Cob medium size, very white, and weighing 

 about l 1 /^ pounds per 70 pounds of ears. 



Taking all points into consideration, Snow 

 White Dent is the coming white variety for 

 milling and all other purposes. 



Packet, 10 cts.: pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 

 75 ets., by mall, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, 

 82.50; 2 bushels, $4.75. 



MINNESOTA KING FIELD CORN. 



A Yellow Half-Dent Northern Field Corn. 



This famous eight-rowed field corn is neither 

 a dent nor a flint variety, but may be described 

 as a half dent. It is widely advertised 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 temperature, 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 uncertain crop. 



The grain is very broad and of an extremely 

 clear, golden color. The eight-rowed ear is of 

 good size and shape, with a small cob. 



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

 75 cts., by mall, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, 

 $2.50; 2 bushels, $4.75.
