CONDON'S "SURE CROP" TESTED SEED CORN 
SOUTH DAKOTAGROWN 
SEED CORN 
Acclimated for Minnesota, Dakota, 
Wisconsin and Michigan 
"EASIiY MITBDOCK CrOI-DEN DENT," also called 
Wisconsin No. 13. The Murdocli Golden Dent Corn has 
been awarded sweepstakes prizes twice for the northern 
zone, comprising the states of Minnesota, "Wisconsin, 
North and South Dakota and Michigan, at the National 
Corn Expositions. It is a heavy yielding golden dent 
corn, outyielding most other sorts, having produced over 
100 bushels per acre with good culture. Although it is 
such a heavy yielder, it matures early enough to make 
it well adapted for our northern states. The ears, which 
are large, with 16 to 20 rows of deep kernels, run very 
uniform and are of a very distinct and handsome type 
umiTESOTA KO. 13 thoroughly matures in ninety 
days when planted on favorable soil and in a good 
location, but ninety-five to one hundred days places it 
out of danger under average conditions. A variety of 
corn which will show such valuable characteristics is 
an acquisition on any farm, especially for pl^anting in 
the northwest, where early frosts are common. It 
may be planted as late as the second week in June and 
yet safely mature a crop. Another point to which par- 
ticular attention should be directed is its adaptability 
to changes in soli and climate. Many varieties fall to 
do well when subjected to new conditions or require 
several years to become acclimated. Minnesota No. 
i3 Corn, however, will thrive and produce abundantly 
on almost any soil and will do remarkably well under 
adverse conditions when other varieties would fail 
entirely. 
"SIIVER XING OB WISCONSIN NO. 7." This va- 
riety is the best white corn for any location. Not quite 
as large as some, but sure to mature. This variety 
originated in northern Iowa and was brought into Wis- 
consin and Michigan, where it developed wonderful crop. 
'DAKOTA GOI^DEN DENT CORN." This variety is 
all the name suggests — an extra early, beautiful yellow 
dent corn. The stalk Is rather dwarf in its growth; the 
e -s are fair size and well placed, sufficiently high above 
th ground to admit the use of a corn binder in har- 
vesting the crop. Golden Dent is in demand with feed- 
ers who want something to be used as a starter for 
stock to be fed in the pastures during the fall. This 
variety will make good ears when closely planted in 
drills.

CONDON'S GOIiDEN HARVEST. A splendid corn to 
sell in market on the ear. Will produce a satisfactory 
crop with less favorable conditions than those required 
by Reid's Dent. In numerous tests on botli good and 
poor soil we have found that it responds to good soil 
and cultivation with an immense yield; it will also 
Ijroduce more corn with ordinary treatment than any 
other large-eared variety. The plant is ideal, the stalk 
being about eight feet high with abundant broad leaves, 
and it is so well rooted that it withstands wind storms 
extra well. It is comparatively free from barren stalks. 
Ears are borne uniformly at about four feet from the 
ground, high enough to get at the sun and air, low 
enough to be protected from windstorms and just right 
for husking. The shank is long, allowing the ear to 
droop when maturing, thus shedding the rain instead of 
holding it in the husk, and being small, it is very 
easy to break In husking, yet we seldom find an ear 
whipped off by the wind. The ears are large, 10 to 12 
inches long, nearly cylindrical, holding their size well 
to the end, are well rounded or capped over at both 
ends and have that well groomed appearance of thor- 
oughbred corn. The fine shaped grains, which are set 
in straight rows, are quite deep and broad at the 
germ end, thus making a solid or heavy ear, and they 
are of such rich yellow color and uniform size that it 
is surely the handsomest corn we have ever seen. 
Cobs are dark red and so small that 70 pounds of ear 
corn shells out 61 pounds. 
"CONDON'S GOIIDEN GLOW." Color, deep yellow; 
grains quite deep, with very small bright red cob. Rows 
generally 14 or 16, grain rather narrow and inclined to 
be rough on top. Bars generally about 8 incheL' long, 
but as it almost always makes two ears to the stalk, it 
makes a good yield. 
"BEID'S YEHOW DENT." This variety is the best 
known among progressive farmers who grow for the 
great corn shows and who try to breed to the show 
standard. The type of Reid's Dent is the standard for 
corn judges and through its popularity at the shows it 
has become widely known and generally distributed. 
"SILVER KING WISCONSIN NO. 7." Description 
same as given on our Dakota-grown seed, only this is 
home-grown. 
"SILVER MINE." This has been the standard white 
corn of Iowa, where it originated, for years. Grows 
large, producing good foliage and ears, average from 9 
to 12 inches long, very deep pure white kernels. Con- 
sidered fairly early, but takes from 110 to 120 days to 
mature. 
"IOWA GOLD MINE." A splendid Yellow Dent va- 
riety. This corn is Identical in appearance and habit 
of growth, in size of ear and earliness, and in produc- 
tiveness, with the Iowa Silver Mine, and everyone who 
has tried It Is enthusiastic in praise of this splendid 
variety. 
"WTMPLE'S YELLOW DENT." A famous Dakota 
variety of corn. It originated with Mr. Wimple, a corn 
specialist of South Dakota, and is now largely planted 
over the corn belt and throughout northern states. This 
variety, which has had a lot of careful breeding work 
put on It, is a bright yellow corn, with an average ear, 
producing kernels of unusual depth.
