TRUE TO NAME SEED CORN. 
It Is of as much importance to have SEED CORN TRUE TO NAME AND 
VARIETY as it is to have it of well-selected and graded stock. 
All of the SEED CORN we offer is TRUE TO NAME AND VARIETY, 
CAREFULLY SELECTED, PROPERLY CURED and PERFECTLY GRADED. 
The tips and butts being removed, assures full planting, no hills having been 
missed on account of a butt or tip kernel having choked the planter, as is 
generally the case with corn that has been poorly or improperly graded. 
Our stock of SEED CORN is grown in the locality best suited for its 
highest development, and is given careful attention during the entire season. 
The merits of our seed corn must not be overlooked by the' particular and 
progressive farmer or grower. 
A trial of the following varieties will convince you of the superiority of 
our SEED CORN. WHITE VARIETIES. 
Boone County White. (110 days). 
Medium late variety; suited favorably to heavy land. It is of excellent 
fattening qualities, also very suitable for milling. The ear is well proportioned, 
tapering very slightly to a well-fllied, rounded tip. It is about 11 inches in 
length, with deep, well-shaped kernels. Cob is white and comparatively small. 
We recommend this variety as a good yielder. 
Sample by request. Champion White Pearl. (90 days). 
A very desirable early white corn, maturing in about ninety days. The 
ears are about 9 inches in length, having on the average sixteen rows of 
good sized white kernels on a very small white cob. 
lowa Silver Mine. (100 days.) 
A most popular variety, growing to a medium height. Ears set about 4 
feet from the ground and measure about 10 inches in length, with about 
eighteen to twenty rows of pure white, mealy kernels on a small white cob. 
This is one of the heaviest yielders, and generally gives satisfaction under va- 
rious conditions. It is highly recommended. 
Hickory King. (110 days.) 
This is an entirely distinct variety amongst the white corn, combining 
the largest kernel on the smallest cob. A single grain will almost cover the 
cob of an ear broken in half. It is a great yielder and will give more shelled 
corn to a given bulk of ears than any other white variety known. It will 
give the best of satisfaction under any soil in proper condition; produces good, 
strong stalks, often bearing two good ears. As a feeding corn it can’t be sur- 
passed, and is also in demand for milling purposes. We recommend it highly. 
ST. CHARLES WHITE. (120 days.) 
This variety of corn is one having long-established merits, having various 
uses. In the East no better corn can be obtained for ensilage and dairy pur- 
poses; in the West, Central West and South or wherever the corn season is 
long and warm, this corn is the profit maker for that locality, either as a 
feeding or a milling corn. The stalks grow tali and strong. The ear is about 
11 inches in length, having about twenty rows of deep, large white kernels on 
red cob of medium size. 
YELLOW VARIETIES, 
lowa Gold Mine. (90 days.) 
An early maturing variety which can always be depended upon as being 
ready for the shock in about 90 days under favorable conditions. It is rec- 
ognized as one of the heaviest yielders. The stalks grow to a medium height. 
The ears are from 9 to 10 Inches in length and about inches in circum- 
ference; have on the average about 18 to 20 rows of well-formed golden col- 
ored kernels. Price, peck, 60c; bu., $1.75. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent. (110 days.) 
One of the most popular varieties of yellow corn grown in the com belt. 
It will give excellent results on high or rolling land as well as on heavy land. 
Its popularity is due to its being so adaptable to different soils and conditions. 
The ears are from 10 to 10V4 inches in length and about 7% inches in circum- 
ference, having about 20 to 22 compact rows of deep, bright yellow kernels or 
a moderately small red cob. 
Learning Yellow. (100 to 110 days.) 
This variety of corn is quite often misrepresented by seedmen, not knowing 
any better, as being a 90-day corn, while field notes on same show it in all 
cases to be as late, and sometimes later, than Reid’s Yellow Dent. It is used 
in the dairy districts mostly, on account of its lateness, which allows a late 
filling of the soli. As an ensilage corn there is no better yellow variety. The 
ears greatly resemble Reid's Yellow Dent, only tapering more and are a little 
tliicker in diameter, having about 22 rows of well-filled yellow kernels. 
DWARF MEXICAN JUNE CORN 
June Corn is a dry weather crop. Its roots reach deep in the soil and draw nourishment 
from a depth never attained by our more Northern Corn. The only possible failure of a crop is 
during a very wet season. This Corn grows only from 6 to 8 feet high, and planted as late as 
Jvily 15, it will produce roasting cars by September 15. Can bo planted up to Au/^ust 1, but 
general planting season is May, June July. This Corn is grown by the mo.st experienced and 
trustworthy grower, and you can absolutely depend on its genuineness.
