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 amounting to $10,183.50. It has also won the 

 Grand Prize at the St. Louis Exposition and the '^ihti Medal at the Paris 

 ExiX)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 xmiform 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 i^ercentage of them being 

 comiDletely co\'ered with grain. The butts 

 are deeply rounded with medivun shanks. 

 The kernels are miiform in size and very 

 long and wedge-shaped. The ears will 

 average about 10 inches m length and from 

 7J to 8 inches in circumference. There is 

 very little space between the rows and this 

 variety yields a very high jiercentage 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 imder a hea\-y load of corn even 

 during severe rain 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 

 gr?at deal of scorching wind and smi. 

 Matures in about 110 days. According to 

 analysis Johnson County White Dent is 

 very rich in protein, which every stock 

 raiser will appreciate. This corn has been 

 loiown 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 

 of Johnson Coimty White Dent holds out,

 ing prices : Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents;

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 

 temi:>erature, 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 8-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, 

 75 cts.; bushel, $2.50; 2 bushels, $4.75.

J. W. McCormick, McCormick, Ohio.— I am an old 

 man, having entered upon my 8Uh j'ear. One year ago. 

 witli other seeds ordered from you, I ordered some John- 

 son County White Dent Corn. The corn was planted 

 about the middle of May in a small plot of ground. The 

 plot produced about 1 bushel of corn. From this bushel 

 was selected the ear of corn that took fii-st premium at 

 the Gal ia.County Corn Show, took first premium at the 

 Ohio Scjfe Corn Slnow, at Columbus, and won sweep- 



,^ 



stakes over all single ears in the State, 

 tine ear of corn. 



It was indeed a
