CORN CULTURE 
PLANT IN ROWS, dropping the kernels one or two at 
time, about one foot apart. To preserve soil moisture, 
use a surface working cultivator sweep, which produces 
an ideal earth mulch and does not injure the roots of 
the corn. 
MAY'S PRIDE OF THE NORTH 
MINNESOTA GROWN, po days. A valuable variety 
for the North; matures early; planted as late 
as July 4th it has matured by October 1st. The ears 
arc from 8 to lo inches long, 14 to 15 rowed. The 
kernels are closely set and of a light orange color. 
Stalks 6 to 8 feet high. Peck 60c., bushel $2.00. 
MAY'S SURE CROP 
MINNESOTA GROWN. One of the best extra early yellow 
varieties in our entire list. It matures its crop in 80 
days, which is of special interest to the farmers of the North- 
west. The ears (borne two on a stalk) are large, long, 12 to 
16 rowed. The kernels are extra long and the cob small. 
We recommend it for general planting, as its earliness, pro- 
ductiveness (75 bushels to the acre) and its quality are the 
great essentials to all growers. Peck 7Sc., bushel $2.50. 
MAY'S NORTHWESTERN DENT 
MINNESOTA GROWN. 80 days. A ten rowed sort. Crows 
stiong, rank, quick, and makes a fine appearing shelled 
corn. It is excellent for the cool, short seasons of the ex- 
treme North. Peck 60c., bushel $2.00. 
MAY'S MINNESOTA KING 
MINNESOTA GROWN. A famous half dent, 8 rowed corn, 
and we consider it one of the most valuable sorts ever 
grown for the Northern states. While there are many 
varieties that in good years will yield as much as Minnesota 
King, there are very few, we think, that will, year in and 
year out, produce as heavy a crop as this sort. Peck 60c., 
bushel $2.00. 
MAY'S WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT 
MINNESOTA CROWN. A corn foT thin soils and drought 
stricken sections. Ears large, 16 to 18 rowed. Stalks 
stout, 6 to 7 feet high, with abundant foliage. Ears average 
8 to 10 inches in length; cobs small. Peck 7Sc., bushel $2.25.
