THE GRAND JUNCTION SEED CO., Grand Junction, Colorado 
Mountain Grown Seed Corn 
Matures two weeks earlier, will often make you a safe corn crop when Seed Corn from the “Corn Belt” 
would fail. All our Seed Corn is high altitude grown. . 
Corn is a big paying crop for the mountain rancher. There never has been enough corn raised on the 
western slope to feed the poultry. You can usually get the Eastern price plus freight for your crop. Under 
irrigation, corn sometimes yields as high as 100 bushels to the acre. 
Hand Picked Seed 
The superlative in Seed Corn Stocks is reached in the Hand Picked Seed we are offering to our customers 
this season. While all our Seed Corn is carefully selected, butted and tipped, and thoroughly machine cleaned, 
in our constant desire to give our customers the very best, we have carefully picked over each kernel of these 
stocks and taken out any kernels which were not perfect. 
It costs over $20.00 to raise an acre of corn, of which about 50c is the cost of the seed. Figure it out; will 
you try to save a few cents on the seed and risk losing the $20.00? 
The extra work we have put on this seed will be amply repaid in the perfectly even stand in your corn field. 
Colorado No. 13. Certified seed. The earliest of all 
yellow dent corn. This seed was produced at an 
altitude of 6,300 feet and is fully matured. Yields 
as heavy as Minnesota 13; ears are somewhat 
smaller, fodder very similar, but it matures a week 
to ten days earlier. See Colored Price List for Cur¬ 
rent Prices. 
Rainbow Plint. The true high-altitude or short-sea¬ 
son corn. Matures much earlier than the dent 
varieties; a good yielder, ears very long and slen¬ 
der; kernels hard and smooth. Many colors on ofie 
ear, thus the name Rainbow. See Colored Price 
List for Prices. 
Australian White Plint. (80 days.) Survives drought 
or cold. Ears 8 to 12 inches long, 8 to 10 rowed. 
Excellent for grain or silage. See Colored Price 
Sheet for Current Prices. 
Minnesota No. 13 Yellow Dent. (85 days.) One of 
the earliest Dent Corns grown, and a fine yellow 
corn that always brings a premium on the market. 
A favorite since 1897, when it was introduced by 
the Minnesota Experiment Station. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
New Yellow Hybrid. A new Corn that is proving a 
great favorite. Somewhat similar to Minnesota No. 
Feterita 
The earliest of the drought-resisting Sorghums. In 
a dry year it will outyield all other Sorghums. Re¬ 
sembles Milo excepting that the stems are uniformly 
erect and the seed is larger and softer. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Yellow Milo Maize 
A variety of Sorghum, non-^saccharine, stalks 8 to 
10 feet high. It stands dry weather and makes its 
crop where Corn would fail. It ripens seed in 90 to 
110 days, making it suitable for high altitudes. The 
culture for Milo Maize is the same as for Kaffir Corn. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Grohoma 
Grows 4V 2 to 5 V 2 feet high, drought resistant, pro¬ 
duces seed ‘'heads 10 to 15 inches long, is a heavy 
yielder of grain, and produces a heavy crop of fodder. 
Grohoma is a sugar cane with a Kaffir Corn head, is 
rich in protein and fat. It stools heavily, often 8 and 
10 stalks from a single seed; and it only requires 1 72 
to 2 pounds of seed per acre. See Colored Price Sheet 
for Current Prices. 
Kaffir 
Dwarf Black Hull White. A stocky, non-saccharine 
sorghum, bearing many leaves and a very heavy seed 
head. The most valuable variety for hot, dry cli¬ 
mates. Yields from three to five tons of fodder and 
30 to 50 bushels of grain to the acre. The stalks 
and leaves remain green until the seed is matured, 
making the best feed, as well as grain crop. It is a 
high alkali resistant. Matures in 110 to 125 days. 
Kaffir Corn has no superior as a chicken feed. See 
Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Red Kaffir. Very similar to White. Stalk grows 
taller, and crop matures a little earlier. An im¬ 
mense yielder. See Colored Price Sheet for Current 
Prices. 
13, but has deeper kernels and is a better yielder. 
Requires about 10 days longer to mature. See Col¬ 
ored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Northwestern Dent. (85 days.) An early Dent corn. 
A heavy yielder adapted to varied soil conditions. 
Kernels are cherry red with yellowish cap. Yields 
well in grain and tons of fodder. See Colored Price

large ears shell 88 per.cent or better of grain. See 
Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Minnesota No. 13 Field Corn. 
Barley 
One of the earliest grain crops. Barley can be 
sown late with good results. It makes as good hog 
feed as corn. Ground Barley is an excellent dairy 
feed. Our Seed Barley is all high altitude grown, 
plump, well filled grains. 
Colsess Barley. A beardless variety developed by the 
Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. Gives a 
heavy yield on a good strong straw. Average yield 
74.7 bushels per acre. See Colored Price Sheet for 
Current Prices. 
Improved White Hulless or Bald Barley. It is hulless, 
beardless, very early; it weighs over 60 lbs. to 
measured bushel; it yields well on poor land; it 
yields enormously on good land. It makes better 
pork than corn; the straw makes a good hay; it is 
of inestimable value to stock feeders. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices.
