IOWA SILVER MINE CORN. 
The National White Corn. 
It is generally conceded that 
Iowa Silver Mine Corn is more 
widely and favorably known than 
any other white corn, being a 
leader wherever Dent Corn is cul- 
tivated. On very rich land Silver 
Mine will make enormous yields, 
and on thin land it seems to 
adapt itself to hard conditions, 
and will come nearer to making 
a crop than any other corn you 
could plant. It is deep grained, 
pure white, rough-topped, with a 
small white cob. Ears run from 
9 to 12 inches long, with 16 to 20 
rows of pure white kernels, sol- 
idly set on ears well filled out at 
butt hangd.= inp: The cob being 
small it dries outrapidly, and can 
be marketed early. This Corn is 
a drouth resister, maturing in hot 
climates where early drouths are 
frequent. Stalks medium height, 
‘very leafy, with broad blades, fre- 
quently bearing two ears weighing 
1 to 1% pounds each. Iowa Silver 
Mine has a prize record to be 
proud of, having probably taken 
as many sweepstakes and first 
premiums as any Corn in exist- 
ence. It will make a safe crop 
anywhere in the corn belt, and in 
all the Southern States, includ- 
ing Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, 
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis- 
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Ten- 
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia. 
Matures in from 90 to 100 days in

ST. CHARLES RED COB WHITE CORN. 
Superior Feeding and Silage. 
Again we borrow from our neighbors 
and go outside of the Nishna Valley and 
bring in seed of a Corn that has won its 
spurs, tipping our hat to the grand old 
commonwealth of Missouri. Where the 
planter does not object to a_.red cob no 
fault can be found with this grand 
variety. Pure white corn with red cob, 
ears large, moderately rough, deep grain. 
Stalks grow very leafy and heavy and will 
produce enormous yields of corn for husk-

Southern States for a husking corn and is 
in great demand in the Hastern and North- 
ern States for ensilage and fodder pur- 
poses. Price, pint 10c.; quart 20c.; gallon
