FIELD CORN 
THESE VARIETIES HAVE ALL BEEN GROWN ESPECIALLY FOR SEED. THE SEED IS WELL CURED 
AND TRUE TO NAME. 
There is no longer any doubt as to Corn being grown successfully in the Northwest, and careful tests have 
proven the following to be adaptable to our coast climate. As a fodder crop corn cannot be excelled, and cut 
green and packed in silos it makes a valuable green feed for milch cows. 
We can quote very low price on Corn in lots of 10 lbs. and over. Write and ask us. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 
This dent corn has been a surprise to its users on 
account of its extreme earliness. The ears are not as 
large as some other varieties, but its large production 
of ears makes it a heavier yielder than most others. 
The ears are of handsome appearance, bearing 16 to 
20 rows of bright, yellow, smooth wedge-shaped kernels 
packed closely on the cob from butt to tip. The ears 
average eight inches in length and are borne usually 
two on a stalk. No corn excels in quality the Minne¬ 
sota No. 13 ; the cobs are well filled and the individual 
kernels plump and of good color. 
Minnesota No. 13 thoroughly matures in ninety days 
when planted on favorable soil and in a good location, 
but ninety-five to one hundred days places it out of 
danger under average conditions. It may be planted as 
late as the second week in June and yet safely mature 
a crop. Per lb. 15c, postpaid 
IMPROVED LEAMING 
A very popular and extremely productive variety. On 
good land the stalks grow tall, producing two good 
ears to each stalk. The ears are long, with small red 
cob, well filled with grains of medium size, of a rich 
golden color. It ripens in from 100 to 110 days, and 
makes a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of 
its strong vigorous growth. Stalks are leafy, making 
excellent fodder, while the grains, being so deep, yield 
an extra large quantity of shelled corn per bushel of 
ears. Per lb. 15c, postpaid 
CHAMPION WHITE PEARL 
A large, White Dent variety; very popular with our 
dairymen on account of the great amount of green 
feed it makes. lb. 15c, postpaid 
GENUINE EUREKA 
Outstanding as the Heaviest Producer of Silage 
Material—It Pays to Plant the Best. 
This is what the producers say— 
Yield and quality are the most important things to 
consider when selecting corn for ensilage. This won¬ 
derful product has been the farmer’s friend for over 
forty-two years. 
Here is a variety of silage corn that surpasses all 
others. Forty-two years of undisputed leadership. Gen¬ 
uine Eureka Corn has always given a maximum yield 
to the farmer—whether soils are light or heavy, the 
deep-rooted nature is a characteristic of Eureka Corn 
that responds quickly to all conditions. 
Fourteen to nineteen feet Eureka Ensilage Corn is 
your assurance. 
The astonishing yield of seventy tons and eight 
hundred pounds of silage fodder per acre in Michigan 
in 1911 still has not been beaten. In the southern 
states where the season is long. Eureka Corn will 
mature and the enormous ears produce a heavy crop 
of ripened grain. In the central states it will not 
mature for grain except in unusual seasons, but for 
silage material it produces a tremendous amount of 
green corn with ears in the milk stage. 
Our Eureka Seed Corn is Virginia grown, as that 
state produces the best quality seed for this variety. 
Hardy and rugged characteristics; Eureka Corn 
germinates surprisingly well in cold, wet springs, and 
today farmers everywhere heartily approve planting 
the genuine variety of Eureka Corn. 
The Genuine Eureka has a production record in the 
state of Michigan of over 70 tons on one acre. It is 
a very tall growing variety ; stalks have been meas¬ 
ured over 20 feet in height and usual conditions should 
produce a crop averaging 16 to 18 feet tall. Eureka 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH 
A Dependable Early Yellow Dent Corn. In some sec¬ 
tions of the Northwest it equals other varieties in yield 
and quality. The stalks are well proportioned, being 
short jointed and leafy. Two or more well developed 
ears are frequently found on a single stalk. The ker¬ 
nels are very deep and closely set on the ear. Pride of 
the North shells more Corn in proportion to cob than 
most other varieties grown in the West. It is specially 
valuable to stockmen, to feed in the bundle thus sav¬ 
ing the expense of husking. Average height of stalk 8 
feet, average distance base of ear from ground, 3 feet.

OREGON GROWN YELLOW DENT 
Oregon grown ; acclimated. A grand success in Ore¬ 
gon. We have been raising this variety for years, and 
by selecting the earliest ripening and best select ears, 
now have a strain that is a revelation to many people 
who have thought Oregon and Washington could not 
raise profitable field corn. Pkt. 10c; lb. 15c, postpaid 
EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN 
All varieties of sweet corn' possess very much more 
“sugar” than any feed sort, and this being the most 
important constituent, it necessarily follows that the 
corn holding this in greatest quantity has the greatest 
net value. Evergreen Sweet Fodder grows much taller 
than the Early Sweet Fodder and makes well formed, 
but not matured, ears in almost any part of the North¬ 
west. Drill l x /2 to 2 bushels to the acre. 
Per lb. 20c, postpaid 
ENSILAGE CORN 
produces an enormous growth of leaves, beginning 
well down to the ground and this, together with the 
heavy yield of ears, makes an excellent silage. 
Many varieties of seed corn have been offered as 
Eureka but we have found many times that corn 
supplied is only the common Southern White Dent 
or some other white variety which will produce a very 
much smaller yield. Genuine Eureka is a smooth white 
dent corn with short kernels, while most other corns 
offered as Eureka are a long kernel type. Eureka 
almost invariably will germinate nearly 100% and is 
of such a vigorous growth that severe changes of 
weather conditions do not affect the yield seriously 
after the corn has become rooted. 
We do not claim that Eureka will mature in our 
northern states where frost may be expected early in 
September and in these states it should be sown 
strictly as an ensilage. In some of the southern states 
this corn is used as a grain crop and very large yields 
of shelled corn are secured. 
The past season has not been ideal for the produc¬ 
tion of Eureka seed corn and the supply is limited, but 
we have secured an excellent crop and germination 
tests show at this time 97 to 100%. 
To get the greatest yield, we recommend planting 
from x /2 to % bushels of Eureka Corn per acre in 
drills 3 feet apart and suggest cultivation as long 
as it is possible to get through the corn. With the 
quick start which Eureka Corn will make, it is 
almost always possible to cultivate entirely with horse 
or tractor. 
Per lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid. Write for price 
on larger quantities, but order early as last year we 
could not supply the demand.
