SILVER KING 
Wisconsin No. 7 
Famous corn. Best loved 
corn in Wisconsin; a corn 
that stands ready to give a 
glad account of itself when- 
ever planted, and for South- 
ern Minnesota, South Da- 
kota, Northern Iowa and 
Northern Illinois, as also the 
lower two-thirds of Wiscon- 
sin, it will yield more bushels 
of fine corn than any other 
white Dent. 
This corn originated in 
northern Iowa. Prof. Moore 
brought it to Wisconsin a 
few years ago and has de- 
veloped and improved it and 
sent it out over the state 
through the members of the 
Wisconsin Experimental As- 
sociation. 275 members of 
the Wisconsin Experimental 
Association tested it and re- 
ported an average yield of 
69.2 bushels of shelled corn 
per acre, which was nearly 
double the corn average for 
the whole state. On the Ex- 
perimental Station farm that 
year 22 acres yielded 75 
bushels per acre. In 1907, a 
poor crop year, the average 
yield of SILVER KING 
throughout the state was 
54.5 bushels per acre, while 
the breeding plot on the sta- 
tion farm gave the remarka- 
ble yield of 98 bushels per 
acre. In 1908 the entire 
acreage of the Wisconsin Ex- 
perimental Station, 22 acres, 
gave the very high average 
of 93 bushels shelled corn per 
acre. At the National Corn 
Exposition in 1907, Sliver 
King took 8 straight prem- 
iums, and at the 1908 show 
at Omaha it took practically 
all the premiums in the Wis- 
consin .class. 
Description: Ears averag- 
ing 8 to 9 inches, always 
filled out clear to the tips, 
and very uniform in size and 
type. The corn is pure snow- 
white in color with good 
length kernals set com- 
pactly in very straight rows. 
The corn is a strong grower, 
and is early enough to ma- 
ture as far north as Osh- 
kosh, Wisconsin, and espe- 
cially adapted to resist cold 
weather. It has a decided 
d o u b 1 e-e a r characteristic, 
one reason for its fine yield 
records. 
Silver King has almost 
revolutionized corn - growing 
in Wisconsin.

Now recognized as the best standard ant 
most reliable 110-day White Dent Corn li

age yield 75 to 100 bushels per acre. Foi 
Central Corn Belt we recommend Silver Mini 
as the one best variety.

IOWA GOLD MINE CORN 
A SPLENDID YELLOW DENT VARIETY 
This corn Is identical in appearance and habit 
of growth, in size of ear and earliness, and It 
productiveness with the Iowa Silver Mine, ant 
everyone who has tried it is enthusiastic in 
praise of this splendid variety. It is early 
ripening but a few days later than the Pride o( 
the North. Ears are not excessively large, but 
of good size and symmetrical. Color, a bright 
golden yellow, shining like a new coin direct 
from the mint. Grain Is very deep, cob small 
and therefore dries out nearly as soon as It 
ripens. 70 pounds of ear corn makes 60 to 6! 
pounds of shelled corn.

BOONE COUNTY WHITE CORF

better variety than Reid's Yellow Dent, but l!

siderable exteht here now and is becoming quit' 
popular.
