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-filled, 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.

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 locahty, either as a 
feeding or a milling corn. The stalks grow tall 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.

nred kernels. Price, peck, 60c; bu., ?1.'(0. 
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.

ference, having about 20 to 22 compact rows of deep, bright yellow kernels or

^rv better as belnc a 90-day corn, while field notes on same show It In all 
-1‘ses to b4 ll late and sometimes later, than Reid's Yellow Dent It is used 
n the dairy districts mostly, on account of Its lateness, which allows a ^te 
rdling of the soil. As an ensilage corn there is no better yellow variety. 'The 
>ars greatly resemble Reid's Yellow Dent, only tapering more and are a little 
thicker in diameter, having about 22 rows of well-filled yellow kernels.
