WILL’S PIONEER SEEDHOUSE, GREENHOUSE AND NURSERY 
Minnesota 13. 
MINNESOTA 13 is one of the most pop¬ 
ular varieties of Corn for silage and fod¬ 
der purposes in the Northwest. The, oi> 
dinary strains are adapted, however, only 
to good soil and favorable conditions and 
will mature in a favorable year, but are 
on the average somewhat too late for 
anything but feed in our climate. Its 
yield of fodder and silage is very heavy 
and it attains near enough to maturity 
so that there is much dry matter in the 
content. It grows to a height of from 
seven to nine feet, depending on the sea¬ 
son, usually bears two large ears to a 
stalk, which are many-rowed, and of a 
beautiful rich yellow color. Cob is red. 
We have strains, extra early and adapted 
to the Northwest. 
Minnesota 13 
Yellow Dent 
The Haney Strain is adapted to the eastern and our Boyd Strain to the western part of the state. Lb„ 
postpaid, 30c. For prices see enclosed blue price list. 
Alta Yellow Dent 
This is a medium late yellow dent resembling Minnesota 13 
in appearance. About as early as Haney Strain 13 and our 
tests seem to show that it is better adapted to the drier sec¬ 
tions of the Northwest than is the 13. It was produced by 
Professor Manley Champlin when at the S. D. Station at High- 
more in the high plains region of that state. Lb., 30c, post¬ 
paid. For prices see enclosed blue price list. 
Mercer Yellow Flint 
The Tall, Leafy Silage Corn 
This is the fourth time for many 
years that we have listed the Mercer 
Flint. There is, however, quite a de¬ 
mand for it from the eastern part of 
the state, especially for silage pur- Northwestern Dent, 
poses. There is little waste in con¬ 
verting it to silage o'n account of the 
slender stalk. Rather late, but often ripens. About as sure as early strains of 
Minnesota No. 13. Lb., 30c, postpaid. For prices see enclosed blue price list. 
CRIMMINS’ STRAIN RUSTLER DENT. This strain which has produced champion¬ 
ship samples for the past several years at the State Corn Show and the Inter¬ 
national is an unusually fine and uniform selection made by Mr. David Cri'm- 
mins of Hazelton, N. D., who is one of the outstanding corn growers in our state. 
It is said to have some Pioneer Dent blood which accounts for its drouth resist¬ 
ance. Lb., postpaid, 40e. For prices see enclosed blue price list. 
Will’s Original 
Northwestern Dent 
The original Northwestern Dent Corn, a history of which is 
given in Bulletin No. 107 of the Montana Experiment Station, 
was introduced by Oscar H. Will in 1896, and almost imme¬ 
diately attained great popularity over the whole Northwest. 
So much so in fact that corn of every type, color and descrip¬ 
tion has since been sold under the name which we gave to 
this early red dent. Bloody Butcher and Calico from South 
Dakota and Nebraska have disappointed many a farmer who 
had bought them as Northwestern Dent, and found them too 
tall and too late to be of any value. The only safe plan 
therefore is to buy Will’s Original Northwestern Dent from 
Oscar H. Will & Co. 
Northwestern Dent has been in the past more extensively 
grown than any other variety in the Northwest. It is ex¬ 
tremely hardy and will produce a crop when all other dents 
fail, owing to its frost and drought resistance. Our strain is 
the early one, from 5 to 7 ft. tall, and ripens in 80 to 90 days. 
Lb., 30c, postpaid. For prices see enclosed blue price list. 
HYBRIDIZED NORTHWESTERN DENT. Latest corn breed¬ 
ing discoveries demonstrate that the heaviest yielding type 
of corn is a cross between two or more pure inbred strains. 
We have now carried such strains for 14 years and cross 
them each year to produce this very heavy yielding seed. 
Lb., 40c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.00; y 2 bn.. 
$2,00; bu„ $3.50. 
PAYNE’S WHITE DENT, Somewhat later than Pioneer, this selection of Rustler 
made many years ago in South Dakota has given very good results at the Great 
Plains Station at Mandan where it has been carefully selected and improved by 
Mr. Sarvis. Uniform and a good yielder. Lb., 30c, postpaid. For prices see 
enclosed blue price list.
