ISBELL SEED COMPANY 
Isbell's Northern Grown Seed Corn 
Isbell’s Earliest of Early Dents 
Also Called Canadian Dent and Minnesota Kins 
Earliest of Early Dents is an extremely early Corn that ripens 
normally in 85 to 90 days. It is an eight-rowed Corn, neither a true 
Dent nor a Flint, but -a Hybrid Dent having very broad yellow 
kernels with white caps. The ears are slender with very small 
cobs. It is used a great deal by stockmen who feed Corn in the 
bundle without husking, and also for hogging down early. See 
Current Price list for prices. 
Pickett’s Yellow Dent 
This variety is the result of many years of careful selec¬ 
tion by Mr. Pickett of Kent County, Michigan, from whom 
it derives the name. The ears are long and somewhat 
slender, with a small, dark red cob. The kernels are slight¬ 
ly rough and rather deep for such an early variety. The 
seed we offer was grown from Certified seed which came 
direct from the originator. See Current Price List for 
prices. 
Improved Reid’s Yellow Dent 
A large, late, Heavy-Shelling Sort for the Corn Belt. 
Recommended highly for Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and 
Iowa, but not for Michigan, except for fodder and en¬ 
silage. Ears 8 to 11 inches long, very uniform and of light 
golden yellow. Often shells 88 % grain. Matures in 110 to 
120 days. Our seed was grown in Northern Ohio. See Cur¬ 
rent Price list for Prices. 
Smut Nose Flint 
Also Called Early Bed Blazed 
This is a very early and hardy type of flint corn and 
the best known of all the flint varieties. It will stand more 
cold weather than almost any other sort. The ears are long and slender, having eight 
rows of kernels. Length of ears is 10 to 14 inches. Kernels are a bright tan color except 
< at the tips which are deep red. 
Smut Nose is a valuable sort on 
account of its earliness. Often 
used for replanting late where 
stands are poor.

ENSILAGE CORN 
EUREKA ENSILAGE.—A very large, leafy variety of white 
Corn which will produce more tonnage per acre than any 
other variety we list. Large ears having broad, white kernels. 
We offer seed grown in Virginia, which state produces the 
best quality seed of this variety. 
IMPROVED BEAMING ENSILAGE.—Is a large, yellow 
Dent sort which matures in 110 to 120 days, making it very 
desirable for ensilage where nearly matured Corn is desired. 
Stalks grow 10 feet high and are very leafy. This variety has 
produced 100 bushels of shelled Corn per acre in the Corn 
Belt. If you want both fodder and grain, plant Improved 
Learning Ensilage. 
GIANT RED COB.—Is a large, late, pure white corn with 
red cobs. A wonderful variety for fodder and ensilage. Has 
produced 45 tons of ensilage per acre in Michigan. An old 
standard sort for ensilage where mature grain is not desired. 
IMPROVED RED COB.—Is a little finer grade of seed than 
the preceding as it is seed from ears which have been tipped 
and butted and graded somewhat closer. 
Early Sweet Fodder Corn 
This is a mixture of early varieties of Sweet Corn whicji 
will make fodder very early. Ready at a time when pasture 
is short and needs supplementing. Stalks grow about 5% feet 
tall with lots of ears. 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder Corn 
Evergreen Corn is well known nearly everywhere, but the 
seed is rather expensive for fodder. This seed is not quite good 
enough for the best grade of Sweet Corn seed but is splendid 
for fodder and priced accordingly. Produces stalks 6 to 7 feet 
tall, and large, very sweet ears. 
Golden Glow or Murdock 
An Early Yellow Dent for the-North 
Golden Glow is a very early Dent of Wisconsin origin. 
It has proven to be a very useful sort for the North where 
the seasons are too short for the larger and later types. 
The stalks grow six to eight feet tall and bear ears of 
deep yellow from 7 to 8 inches long. The kernels are near¬ 
ly square and the cobs are deep red. Ripens normally in 
90 days. See Current Price list for prices. 
King Philip Flint 
Earliest of Early Dents. 
•An Old Time Favorite 
King Philip is an early, dark 
red Flint, producing ears 10 to 15 inches long. It is a very hardy 
sort and will stand planting on wet cold soils. Recommended 
for sections where the spring is apt to be cold, wet and late. 
Often produces two ears on a stalk and is a heavy yielding sort. 
A valuable sort for feeding early and also a useful variety for 
ensilage in the North. See Current Price List for prices.
