WISCONSIN DENT. 
Description* 
The Wisconsin Dent being an early 
variety neither the ears or grain are as 
large as our Gold King, Silver King or 
Eldorado and we do not recommend it 
for growing where the seasons are long 
enough to ripen the larger and later 
varieties. It is especially adapted for 
growing wherever the ordinary Flint 
varieties will ripen. The grain is of a 
beautiful golden color; the shape and 
size of the ear is well represented by the 
cut. The stalks grow to a medium Size 
and make the very best of fodder. The 
cob is small and red. The corn is 
very rich in oil and starch. 
Klbat our average farmers Dave 
been doing. 
The average yield of corn in this country 
for the past ten years, according to the 
government report, has been twenty-six 
bushels shelled corn per acre. The 
average value for the past ten years, as 
given by the same report has been $9.47 
per acre. 
Such Crops do not Pay. 
The Wisconsin Dent has yielded 2 bushels to 1 
of tbe ordinary Flint varieties grown 
under exactly equal conditions. 
THE CORN FOR VERMONT. 
Janies Snydtr of Essex Co. , Vt., says : “I got sixty bushels 
of WISCONSIN DENT corn from the five pounds of seed. I can 
sell all I have for fti.oo per peck. It was one of the best invest- 
ments I ever made. I tell you its the corn for Vermont. 
IT’S THE CORN TO GROW IN WISCONSIN. 
OlfOberg of Milwaukee Co., Wis., says: I tell you it is 
rightly named. It’s the corn to grow in Wisconsi n. It’s just as 
early as the ordinary Flint varieties and will outyield them at 
least one-lialf. I have sold all I have to spare for fc.oo per bushel. 
I wish I had bought five bushels instead of 5 pounds last spring. 
Such Crops do Pay. 
And the difference is mostly in the seed. It is for you to decide what kind of a crop you will 
raise, an average crop or a very large one. Suppose you buy_ 15 lbs. of Wisconsin Dent Corn 
and plant one acre and harvest 100 bushels of shelled corn which, at say 40 cents per 
bushel, is worth $40. <’0; then on another acre you plant some common variety and get an average 
yield of 26 bushels of shelled corn worth $10.40; you have made a profit of $29.60 on one 
acre and on ten acres it would he $296.00. You cannot afford to grow an average crop of corn. 
From 10 to 15 lbs. will plant an acre which will give you enough seed for all your own planting 
another year and a large amount to sell to your neighbors. They will all want some when they 
see how much superior it is to the varieties they have been growing and be billing to pay a gojd 
advance over the market {trice for seed. 
Seventy lbs. of ears made 64 lbs. of shelled corn 
and onlv 6 pounds of cobs. This will give you a good idea of how r very small the cobs are, almost 
every stalk bears from two to three ears making it is .AN ENORMOUS 1 1 ELDER.
