Raid's Yellow Dent Corn

This is a popular variety in the central west corn district. It has been grown for the last 

 50 years in Illinois and has taken many prizes at various corn shows and fairs. It has been 

 bred up to a high type of corn. Ear 9 to 10 inches long, 7 inches around, 18 to 24 rows, deep 

 grain with small cob well filled at butt and tip. 



Farmers will find this variety to be a long step in advance towards the aim that corn 

 breeders are striving at, an ideal ear of almost perfect shape and size. Everyone that has 

 grown this variety is delighted with it, for its handsome shape of ear and color, small cob 

 and heavy solid grain. We can recommend this variety very highly and have no doubt every- 

 one who plants it will be pleased.
