WISCONSIN DENT 
Description 
T he Wisconsin Dent being an early 
variety neither the ears or grain 
are as large as our Carnival, 
Seneca, 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 is of the ear is well repre- 
sented 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. 
What our average farmers have 
been doing. 
The average yield of com in this 
country for the past ten years, accord- 
ing 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 the ordinary Flint varieties grown 
under exactly equal conditions. 
THE CORN FOR VERMONT. 
James Snyder, 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 $1.00 per peck. It was one of 
the best investments I ever made. I tell you its the corn for 
Vermont. 
IT’S THE CORN TO GROW IN WISCONSIN. 
Olf Oberg, of Milwaukee Co., Wis , says: “I tell you it 
is rightly named. It's the corn to grow in Wisconsin. It's 
just as early as the ordinary Flint varieties and will outyield 
them at least one-half. I have sold all I have to spare for 
$3.00 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 an 
harvest 100 bushels of shelled corn which, at say 40 cents per bushel, is worth $40.00; 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 mace 
a profit of $29.60 on one acre and on ten acres it would be $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 muc 
superior it is to the varieties they have been growing and be willing to pay a good advance over the mar 
price for seed. 
Seventy lbs. of ears made 64 lbs. of shelled corn 
and only 6 pounds of cobs. This will give you a good idea of how very small the cobs are, 
bears from two to three ears, making it AN ENORMOUS YIELDER.
