REID'S YELLOW DENT 



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. 



Do not plant Reid's on thin light soils for best results. For this kind of soil the Silver 

 Mine will give better crops. Our Reid's Corn is all grown from pedigree stock. Price by 

 mail, pkt. 5 cts., V 2 pt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts.; by freight, pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.75, 2 bu. $5.25. 



JOHNSON COUNTY WHITE CORN 



This variety is a selection from the Boone County White, developed and introduced by L. B. 

 Clore, of Indiana, and has had 18 years of painstaking and intelligent selection and breeding. 



It is somewhat smaller and earlier than the Boone County White and can be grown further 

 north, but not safe to plant north of Central Iowa. 



For the corn growing belt there is no White Corn grown of equal merit. The corn has 

 become famous for yield and quality. It is the standard among the white corns that Reid's 

 Yellow Dent is among the yellow. 



The shape of ear is cylindrical, slightly tapering at the tip. Tips fill well over the end, 

 the butts are well rounded out, kernels very uniform, pure white, ears average about 10 

 inches in length. 



Of strong and vigorous habit of growth and well covered with broad leaves, very valuable 

 for ensilage. The length of season is from 110 to 115 days, in good corn weather. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., by mail; % bu. 75 cts., bu. $2.75, 2 bu.
