So 
Rainbow Flint —For Fodder and Silage 
RAINBOW FLINT (late S. D. strain). Rainbow seems to be definitely 
the best silage com for the Northwest. It makes a wonderful lot 
of feed and silage. Good seed is scarce this fall and we feel that we 
were fortunate to secure a supply. Postpaid, 1 lb., 30c. For prices 
see enclosed blue price list. 
GREAT PLAINS RAINBOW. It has been selected at the U. S. Great 
Plains Experiment Station at Mandan. It retains the tallness, leafi¬ 
ness and tremendous size of ears and possesses an earliness which 
makes sure a high quality of feed, although still late enough to be 
uncertain as a ripe ear producer. Most drouth resistant of all 
silage varieties. Lb., 40c, postpaid. For prices, see enclosed blue 
price list. 
4X Fodder Corn— 
The 4X is, we consider, the very best procurable fodder Corn for 
Northwestern conditions. We get this grown just far enough south 
so that the maximum quantity of fodder is produced and at the same 
time the stalks come near enough to maturity so that they are not all 
water. The best time to cut Corn for fodder is when the kernels are 
just past the roasting ear stage. Sow or drill ten pounds to one-half bushel per acre, if planted in 
rows 3 to 4 feet apart; if broadcast, use about 2% bushels. For prices see enclosed blue price list.

Acme Fodder Corn—A Cross 
The Best Silage Corn for the Northwest 
Acme fodder is a natural cross and as such possesses real hybrid vigor; it is a mixture of off type 
dent corn or of the local mixed strains or 
other early dents of which we may have an 
extra amount together with a considerable 
proportion of intentionally hybridized dents 
which we crossed the past summer. Being a 
mixture it is ranker and more luxuriant in 
growth and a heavier producer. For this rea¬ 
son it is especially valuable for silage. It is 
easily handled with a binder and gives just 
about the right degree of maturity early 
enough for silo filling. For prices see enclosed 
blue price list.

SWEET FODDER CORN—Wonderful Feed for Milch Cows 
Sweet Fodder is coming to occupy a place of very 
high esteem as a feed for milch cows.' Owing to the 
fact that its sugar content is so high it is a more 
concentrated feed than the ordinary Corn. It is 
likewise a heavy yielder as it is so bushy, and there 
are no heavy, coarse stalks which are usually waste. 
Prices are very reasonable this year. Lb., 30c, post¬ 
paid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., 
$ 8 . 00 : 
Interesting and Unusual Corn Varieties for Trial 
We know that many of our customers are interested in experimental work with Corn and in the obser¬ 
vation of novel and little known sorts. We have therefore listed here a few of the many unusual types 
that we are constantly growing and observing, and we hope to present others each year. 
Price, lb., postpaid, 40c; f. o. b. Bismarck, 5 lbs., 75c. 
BEAR ISLAND SQUAW. A very large varicolored 
flint from the Chippewa Indians of northern Min¬ 
nesota, very cold resistant. 
NAVAJO SACBED or CUDEI. A very interestingly 
colored corn from the Southwest with very great 
drouth resistance-—a flour corn. 
MANDAN YELLOW FLOUR. The sacred variety of 
the Mandan Indians, used by us in some very in¬ 
teresting and valuable crosses. 
NORTHERN RUSSIAN EXTRA EARLY. This is 
corn raised by us during the past year from sam¬ 
ples of unusually early sorts sent us by Russian 
experiment stations. 
SANTEE MIXED. This is a late corn, very tall and 
with perfectly tremendous sized ears. Probably 
the source type for Rainbow. 
ZUNI-PERUVIAN RED HYBRID. This is an inter¬ 
esting Corn, particularly on account of the very 
dark reddish purple color which in many of the 
plants dominates ear, cob, stalk and leaves. It 
has possibilities as an ornamental. 
MANDAN BLACK or PURPLE. One of the most 
interesting of the flour corn types from the Ft. 
Berthold Indians. 
MANDAN CLAY RED. Another of the several Man¬ 
dan varieties of flour corn, being distinct only as 
to color, which is most unusual. 
ZUNI BLUE. Another of the peculiar varieties from 
the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest desert coun¬ 
try. The most drought resistant varieties known. 
Of the small kernel flour corn type.
