WHITE VARIETIES OF TESTED SEED 
IOWA SILVER MINE. (90 days.) The stalk grows to a height of 7 or 8 feet, and set the ears about 
three and a half to four feet from the ground. The ears measure from ten to twelve inches in length. They 
are very uniform in size and shape, sixteen to twenty straight rows of deep, pure white kernels, on a small 
cob. It is the heaviest yielder we know, having yielded over 100 bushels to the acre. Seventy pounds of 
ears will make sixty-two pounds of corn. It is entirely distinct and will give satisfaction Lb. 15c 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE. (100 days.) Medium late, and in our opinion the best white corn for 
bottom lands and good soil. The ears are of large size, well proportioned, well rounded at butt and tip. 
The up to date type has a deep narrow grain giving the largest possible amount of corn to the cob. This 
variety yielded well even in the past dry season and we cannot recommend it too highly Lb. 15c 
DIAMOND JOE'S BIG WHITE. (lOOdays.) This is a heavy yielding variety of large white corn. It 
has proved to be an excellent variety to withstand dry weather and has made fine crops in Kansas and 
Oklahoma when other varieties made almost nothing. This is due to the very heavy and extensive root 
system. 
The ears are from 8 to 12 inches long and have from 16 to 20 rows of deep kernels set on a medium 
size cob. It will yield as well as any variety on old, poor or hill land and yet there is no variety grown 
that will yield more corn on rich, strong land. ; Lb. 15c 
HICKORY KING. (110 days.) This is an entirely distinct variety amongst the white corn, com- 
bining the largest grain with the smallest cob. A single grain will completely cover the cob of an ear broken 
in half. It is a great yielder, giving more shelled corn to the acre bulk of ears than any other variety. 
It is satisfied with any kind of soil, and will produce good strong stalks, bearing two, and occasionally 
three good ears. A good drouth resister. We recommend it very highly Lb. 15c 
BRAZILIAN OR STOOLING FLOUR CORN 
This corn, as the name indicates, is inclined to stool, and one grain will produce in many instances 
more than one stalk. Each stalk bears two or three ears five to seven inches in circumference, nine to 
twelve inches in length and beautifully white. It produces an abundance of fodder, and is the best variety 
for ensilage. It yields 30 to 50 bushels of corn per acre, and the ears are fine for roasting although not 
sweet. It does not require a very rich soil and therefore the best variety for poor soils. The kernel con- 
tains more starch than any other corn, and ground and bolted by the same process as wheat, gives a fine 
flour that will make bread, biscuits, etc., the same as the wheat flour. Plant two kernels in a hill and 
cultivate the same as other corn. Three pounds will plant one acre Lb. 15c 
RED CORN 
BLOODY BUTCHER. (100 days.) This corn resists the drought better than any other variety. 
Ears long and of perfect shape. Grain deep red, having sometimes a yellow tip. Type is not entirely 
fixed Lb. 15c 
ODD VARIETIES 
SQUAW CORN. (90 Days.) Blue and White 
(Semi-flint). This variety grows very dwarf and is 
one of the very best for resisting drought. It is 
early and is very popular in sections deficient in 
rainfall. The ears are rather small and the kernels 
are blue, white, and blue and white. Its ability to 
resist drought together with its earliness makes 
Squaw Corn an excellent variety for Western Kansas, 
Oklahoma and Texas Per lb. 15c 
CALICO. (100 Days.) The Old-Fashioned Red, 
White and Yellow. This peculiarly colored corn 
was obtained by breeding together strong, vigorous 
red, white and yellow types producing a kernel 
showing stripes of the three colors. Ears are large, 
grains deep and cob small. Very rich in protein 
and a good feed for stock Per lb. 15c
