Medium Early Yellow 
Berry’s Golden Dent. An early yellow dent, 90 to 100 days. Large 
ears for early variety. Fairly smooth. Well filled. Similar to Reid’s 
Dent, but earlier. Sixteen to twenty rows. Much heavier yielder than 
Pride of the North. Medium height stout stocky stalks. This variety 
is easily a leader in its class. 
Iowa Gold Mine. Another fine medium early variety. About a 100 
day corn. Deep yellow grain, small cob. Always gives satisfactory 
results. Sold under various names by different seedsmen. Those wishjng 
a medium early heavy yielding corn will make no mistake in selecting 
this vanety. EARLY YELLOW DENTS 
Pride of the North. Especially recommended for northern customers and 
those wanting early feeding corn. Maturity about 90 days. One of the finest 
pure yellow early dents. Medium sized solid ears. Stands up well and yields 
surprisingly well. 
Minnesota No. 13. Also in the 90-day class. Very popular; eight-inch ears, 
often two on a stalk. Stalks quite leafy. Does well even under unfavorable 
conditions. One of the best producers in its class. We always have a big de¬ 
mand for this. 
Other Excellent Early Types 
Yellow White Cap Dent. We recommend this highly. A 90 day type. Nice 
deep kernels. Sides medium yellow. Caps or tops of grains white. One of the 
finest early feeding varieties in existence. The kind you get enthusiastic about. 
Heavy producer of fine solid corn. You will be exceptionally well pleased 
with this one. 
Golden Cap. Grains a cherry red color with yellow top or cap. 
Very fine appearing. Yields very heavily. Grain a little softer 
than the average. Ears well filled. Matures up to 100 days. 
One of the best early feeding corns you can plant. Great favor¬ 
ite with stock men. Adapted to most any section of the 
corn belt. 
White Cap Red Dent. Similar in nearly every re¬ 
spect to Golden Cap except color of cap 
is lighter and a little earlier. 
Up to-Date Calico. This is the 
famous "speckled" corn that has been 
popular for so many years. A fine 
feeding variety. Various strains of 
Calico on the market. We consider 
this the best. Excellent 
good sized ears, 
grains. Matures 
We seldom have 
of this variety tc 
demand.

SEED TREATMENT 
Semesan Jr. or Merko 
These are dry treatments that can be 
applied to seed corn anytime before 
planting. They give assurance against 
losses such as seedling blight and root 
and stalk rots. Increases germination, 
permits earlier planting and reduces seed 
decay. One pound treats 6 bushels. 
Price, 1 lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, express 
paid. That means it costs 
only 4c an acre. It pays 
to use it. We consider 
either Merko or 
Semesan, Jr., 
equally sat¬ 
isfactory. 
i KRUG'S DENT 
Ranks along with our Big 
Perfection and Pride of Iowa 
in yield, but is 10 to. 15 days 
earlier. A four-year test in 
Illinois proved it the best 
yielder of 118 varieties. It is 
a cross of a smooth Reids 
Dent with Gold Mine. Ears 
somewhat smaller than Reids, but 
lots of them. Exceptionally firm and 
solid. Rich yellow color. Combines 
early maturity with heavy production. 
We recommend it highly. We do not 
believe there is another variety of 
equal earliness that will yield like 
our Krugs Dent. Our Hybrid is the 
only exception. 
This scientific development in Corn is bringing heavy in¬ 
creases in yield. Tests in Iowa show increases of 25 bushels 
per acre. 10 to 15 bushels per acre increase can be readily ex¬ 
pected under average conditions. Yielded 127 bushels in one test 
compared to 100 bushels for the best open field pollinated. Compared 
with the kind of corn that many farmers plant it should increase 
yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre. 
HOW IT IS DEVELOPED 
First many different strains are inbred by self fertilization. This inbreeding 
is all done by hand labor and continues from 4 to 6 years. The best inbreds are 
then crossed. The next year the best crosses are crossed, giving a double cross 
inbred Hybrid. In crossing, one kind is detassled so it is fertilized from the 
other inbred in adjoining rows. The seed is gathered only from the detassled 
rows. This is good for seed only one year, but with increases such as this 
gives, it pays to get new seed each year. 
There is a great difference in Hybrids. Any Hybrid is only as good as the 
inbreds that are used. Practically every breeder of Hybrid Corn uses different 
kinds of inbreds. Therefore these various Hybrids have distinct difference. 
Our XX Hybrid has a deep yellow color. The stalks are very erect. That is an 
outstanding characteristic of our Hybrid. You find practically no barren stalks 
in the field. Many have two ears on them. Our customers report as high as 
5 ears on a stalk. 
Another important feature is the adaptability of our Hybrid to such a large 
range of country. It can he planted much further north or south and east or 
west, than ordinary corn. Matures in 105 to 110 days. 
AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT 
At first thought the cost of Hybrid may seem high. Figure it down to the 
cost per acre and compare that with increases in yields that can be reasonably 
expected. It proves to lie money wisely spent. 
Our XX Hybrid seed corn comes to you treated in advance with Semesan Jr 
The seed is not as nice in appearance as ordinary cprn. The crop is different 
from the seed.
