Johnson County White Dent 



A Single Ear Has Won $1,000 in Prizes 



This wonderful white dent corn is one of the sensations among progressi\-e 

 farmers. During the Chicago and Omaha National Corn Expositions, this 

 variety has captured prizes amounting to $10,188.50. It has also won the 

 Grand Prize at the St. Louis Exposition and the Silver Medal at the Paris 

 Exposition. The reason for tliis is because 

 it complies with the score card more than 

 any other corn grown. The high breeding 

 of this variety makes it uniform in exhibit. 

 The ears are cylindrical in shape up to 

 Avithin 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 percentage of them being 

 completely covered with gram. The butts 

 are deeply romided with medium shanks. 

 The kernels are uniform in size and very 

 long and wedge-shaped. The ears will 

 average about 10 inches in length and from 

 7^ to 8 inches in circumference. There is 

 very little space between the rows and this 

 variety yields a very high percentage 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 under a heavy 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 

 great deal of scorching wind and sun. 

 Matures in about 110 days. According to 

 analysis Johnson County Wliite Dent is 

 very rich in protein, which every stock 

 raiser will appreciate. This corn has been 

 known 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

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 

 temperature, 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, wdth 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. *^ ' *^ '
