SILVER KING 
Wisconsin No. 7 
Famous corn. Best loved 
corn in Wisconsin; a corn 
tliat 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. 
Tliis 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 
tlie Wisconsin Experimental 
Association tested it and re- 
ported an average yield of 
59.2 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 remarlia- 
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 1S107. Silver 
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 inclies. always 
filled out clear to the tips, 
and vei'y 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 - gi'owing 
in Wisconsin. 
IOWA SILVER MINE 
Now recognized as the best standard and 
most reliable 110-day White Dent Corn in 
cultivation. Extremely hardy, very prolific, 
large deep grain, small cob, producing aver- 
age yield 75 to 100 bushels per acre. For 
Central Corn Belt we recommend Silver Mine 
as the one best variety. 
GEDDES' REGENERATED

light caps; grains very deep and hackled; ears 
10 to 12 inches long, very small cob — there- 
fore extremely early; .safe to plant as far 
north as Central Wisconsin or Dakota. 
Don't fail to try at least a bushel of this 
Wonderful New Corn. 
IOWA GOLD MINE CORN 
A SFI^ENDIS VEi;i.OW DENT VARIETY. 
This corn is identical in appearance and habit 
of growth, in size of ear and earliness, and in 
productiveness with the Iowa Silver Mine, and 
everyone who has tried it is enthusiastic in 
pi'aise of this splendid variety. It is early, 
ripening but a few days later than the Pride of 
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 62 
pounds of shelled corn. 
IMPROVED YELLOW YANKEE 
Particularly adapted to the Northern Middle 
States. Earliest and best known yellow l-'lint 
variety. H bushel, 35 cents; Vi bushel, 60 
cents; H bushel, $1.10; bushel, $2.00. 
MINNESOTA KING 
The earliest large yielding corn in cultiva- 
tion. Cross between a standard yellow and a 
Flint variety Those wanting Extra early, 
Ripe fall corn to snap for hogs should plant no 
other. 
EARLY LONGFELLOW FLINT 
The most popular of all flint varieties. It is a 
beautiful 8-rowed yellow flint, with slender, 
ears, 10 to 15 inches long. Kernels are large and 
wide, and cob very small. Ripens in 75 to 85 
days, and very prolific. Well adapted to the 
northern states arKl largely grown in Wisconsin 
and Minnesota. Ys bushel, 35 cents; }/> bushel, 
60 cents; ^ bushel, $1.10; bushel, $2.00; 2 to 5 
bushels, $1.90 per bushel; 6 to 10 bushels, $1.85 
per bushel. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE CORN 
This famous Illinois corn is. in our opinion, a 
better variety tlian Reid's Yellow Dent, but is 
not so well known. It is being grown to a con- 
siderable extent here now and is becoming quite 
popular. 
It is a vgry large white corn, somewhat like 
Silverine, larger and later. 
Description. Ear 10 to 11 inches long, cylin- 
drical, 18 to 22 rows, generally 20. Grain very 
deep and rather rough. Well filled at both ends. 
Cobs always white and medium size. Very large 
and a heavy yielder. Season 110 to 120 days. 
Not safe for planting north of Kookford, but for 
anywhere south of there it is a very valuable 
corn.
