Iowa Silver Mine. 
RED COB WHITE DENT. — This corn is especially adapted to 
rich land where a white corn with a red cob is not objected to. 
The grain is white, deep and solid, on well filled ears of about 
10 inches in length. The number of rows vary from 18 to 24. 
This corn makes a heavy yield on land that is adapted to it. 
HICKORY KING-. — An old and well known white variety. Short 
ears with the largest grains and smallest cobs known. The 
stalks grow from six to eight feet high and have from two to 
three ears. It is a heavy yielder of both grain and fodder and 
is extensively used in some sections. Matures in about 85 to 90 
days. 
Yellow Varieties 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. — Among the many excellent varie- 
ties of Yellow Corn grown in the corn belt, Reid’s Yellow Dent 
stands among the best of all yellow varieties. It is extensively 
used by stock feeders. The color is a rich yellow, closely packed 
and very deep grains, which entirely cover the butts and tipps, 
of the cob. Grains slightly rough and dented on the top. Stalks 
of good height, with one or two ears. 10 to 12 inches long and 
11 to 16 rows. The cob carries a large amount of corn, often 
shelling 88 per cent or better. Matures in about 100 days. 
GOLD STANDARD BEAMING — One of the oldest of the yel- 
low varieties known. It is a general favorite with stock raisers 
on account of its large yield of grain and for fodder and en- 
silage. The grain is light yellow and does not become as flinty 
as most other yellow varieties. The cob is red and of medium 
size. The ears are from 9 to 11 inches in length and from 7 to 
8 inches in circumference. Stalks from 10 to 12 feet high and 
large amount of foliage. Matures early. 
IOWA GOLD MINE. — This is a Yellow Dent variety that is 
grown extensively throughout the United States, and bv many 
is claimed to be the best of all Yellow varieties. The habit of 
growth and appearance is the same as Iowa Silver Mine, as is 
its earliness, size of ear and productiveness. The grain is of a 
bright golden color, hence its name; very small cob, which dries 
out nearly as soon as it ripens. The stalk bears from one to two 
good ears which are 8 to 10 inches long. It matures 90 to 100 
days. This is the corn for thin land, on rich land the yield will 
be proportionately greater. 
PRIDE OP THE NORTH — The earliest of all Yellow Dent 
Corn, maturing from 85 to 90 days. The ears are from 7 to 8 
inches long with small coh and kernel. Color is bright orange 
70 pounds of ears will make 62 pounds of shelled 
corn. On good soil it is capable of producing 
four or five good stalks to the hill, many of which 
will bear two ears each. Good results can be 
obtained from planting in drills, as the stalks 
are small and do not require as much room as the 
large growing sorts. If for any reason you can- 
not plant your corn at the proper time, Pride of 
the North May save the day, as it matures from 
20 to 30 days earlier than the large ear varieties. 
STRAWBERRY or CALICO CORN A very old 
variety very popular with stock feeders. It is a 
combination of colors — red, white and yellow. The 
ears are large with deep grains and small cob, 
Gold Standard Learning. 
7 to 8 inches in circumference, and 9 to 12 inches 
long. It is rich in protein. Matures in about 100 
days. A bad ear in a field of Calico is a rarity. 
Load for load, Calico will outweigh any other 
corn we know of. 
BLOODY BUTCHER. — An early corn, making 
a good yield and frequently used for replanting. 
The color varies from a light to a deep red, nearly 
black. Ears from 9 to 11 inches long, 16 to 20 
rows. Grains dented and sometimes quite rough. 
This corn is not much bothered by worms or 
birds.
