All our Field Corn is "Tipped" and "Butted" and

Attention is more and more being given to the careful 

 selection of Seed Corn, and the very much larger yields that 

 can be obtained by care and selection of the seed and in proper 

 culture and tillage greatly increased results can be obtained.

 carefully grown for Seed and will be found first-class in 

 every respect; all carefully tested for germination before

very heavy cropper. If any seed grain can truly be called 

 pedigreed, the Thoroughbred Yellow Dent Field Corn is

 painstaking care to what is at the present time one of the 

 best varieties of yellow Corn grown. Ear medium in size, 

 remarkably uniform, and of a bright yellow color, with 

 solid, deep grain and small, red cob. Has from IS to 24 

 r@ws of kernels on the cob, 50 to 60 grains in the row, and is 

 well filled over the ends, and especially the butt, leaving a 

 small shank, which makes it a great favorite with huskers.

 test. Pk. $1.00, bus. $3.50.
