SILVER KING 
H Hew Ulhite Dent Tield Corn. 
Averaged over 80 Bushels per Acre. 
Our attention was first called to this remarkable corn by 
Mr. A. A. Waller, of Daviess Co., Ind., who is an extensive grow- 
er of field corn and who lias been raising it to the exclusion of 
all other varieties for the past three years with the exception of 
a small amount of some of the leading new varieties be has 
planted in order to test their respective merits in comparison 
with the SILVER KINO. The glowing account which he gave 
of the yield and the large handsome ears he sent us, convinced 
us that it was a decided improvement upon any other variety of 
white field corn in existence. Mr. Waller says: “The first 
year I raised the SILVER KING I averaged over 80 bushels 
per acre and some of it has done this during the two dry years 
since 
Outyielded the Common Varieties 2 to 1. 
Last year I planted some of two other leading varieties by 
the side of it, and the SILVER KING made about double as 
much to the acre as either one of the others, and the others had 
much the best chance. They averaged about 40 bushels to the 
acre and the SILVER KING was easily double that. As to 
stalks they grow small, which is a strong point in its favor with 
us here on account of its standing the drouth so much better 
than larger stalked kinds. It grows to about seven feet in height 
on an average and makes splendid fodder; many of the stalks 
have two ears each. 
farmers who have beard of this corn have driven 15 
miles 10 get their seed from me/’ 
The Silver King ^ 
is a large eared Dent White corn and is not adapted for growing 
in northern climates, hut is especially recommended for Southern 
Illinois, Southern Indiana, Southern Ohio and all points in that 
latitude or which have a similar climate. This is its second 
year of its introduction. 
If you wish to obtain a variety that is almost drouth proof 
and will give you an enormous yield of splendid corn and the 
very best fodder do not fail to try some of the SILVER KING. 
$150 WORTH ON ONE ACRE. 
Morgan Co , O., March 1 st, 1S98. 
I bought one peck of Silver King corn of your agent last spring, which 
planted just one acre, from which I harvested seventy-five bushels of shelled 
corn. I have sold all I have to spare at $2.00 per bushel for seed. Its the 
grandest corn ever brought into this state. M. GOOD.
