PRIDE of MINNESOTA 
A Brand New Extra Early Yellow Dent Corn 
that is dcsiincil to displace all others for earlincss. proiluciiveiicss and a.iaptabilily to 
variuus Soils and climaies. It is the one corn for Minnesota, Iowa. Somh Dakota. 
Wisconsin and Illinois. Origiiiaicd by Mr. P. Wrhlander of Washinplon Co. 
Minn., after years of carefully selecting seed stock and growine. Pride of 
Minnesota took First Prize at thcWasliiiiLton Co. Fair, last year in competition 
with Minnesota No. H, Pride of the North and Sure Crop. The Kars arc of 
splendid appearance averaeitif 85^ inches in length and arc borne two or 
three to a stalk. The Kernels area ricli yellow in color, smooth and 
packed clos*'ly on the Cob from Butt to Tip. The most important 
feature of this Corn is the smallness of the Cob and depth of Kernels 
and it is indeed a rival in that respect to the Famous Iowa Silver 
Mioc. Wc ijavc obtained the total stock of this new corn but 
owing to it being the introducers first sea- 
son, our supply is limited.

Gentlemen :- 
In sellinfr you m f 
seed stock of Pride rf M 
nesota, I can triitlifuUy vei 
your statements made in repi 
to same. I liave been en|fa| 
in ajiricultural pursuits for tlie i 
twenty years and in that time I 
tested nearly every variety of Si 
Corn recommended to our latitude o 
to find witliout exception it took an esp 
ially good season to fully mature a cr 
This caused me to think, to study conditio 
and finally to experiment in the development 
seeds. It took considerable time and labor, b\ 
was fully convinced that I could produce a variety t 
would adapt itself especially to our climate and also t 
greater variety of soils and conditions. When Pride of Mini 
sota took first premium at the Washington Co. Exhibit ;>gainst sue 
high standard of varieties as Minnesota No. 13, and Sure Crop, I t 
that my expectations w ere realized. M innesota has now a Large Ea 
Ye/lcw Dent Corn to be proud of. A variety w liich w ill produce results 
almost any soil or conditions and I firmly believe it to be the best Corn 
developed for Iowa, Wiscous 
Minnesota, South Dakota; 
jis. 
Yours very truly, 
P. Wehland
