Kelly's Utility Corn 
KELLY’S UTILITY YELLOW DENT CORN 
Kelly's Utility is the best variety for central Illinois. Kelly’s Utility (Yellow Dent) is 
a corn we have been growing - for 21 years. It originally came from Reid’s Yellow Dent 
but has been greatly improved during these years. Reid’s Yellow Dent originated within 
5 miles of where much of our corn is grown. During this time we have tried out many 
different varieties but as yet have not found a better all around variety of corn for Central 
Illinois. The pictures we show are actual photographs which gives you a better idea of 
the corn than we can tell you. Rich yellow color, 10 to 12 inches long, bright and lustrous, 
dimple dented grain, very little starch, medium height, medium early maturing. Very 
strong in vigor and vitality. Will sprout and grow in wet cold soil where the average 
corn will produce a poor stand. Plant from May 5th to 15th for best results. Matures 
under normal conditions in 110 days. This corn has been sack picked for 20 years and 
by so doing we now have a variety of corn which will stand up where often the other corn 
goes flat. Prices page 35.
