TOLAND’S IMPROVED SEED CORN 
The greatest care is exercised in the cultivation and selection of my Seed Corn, 
which I give my personal attention from the time it is planted until it is shipped out. 
The windows are arranged in my Seed House that they can be opened on bright days 
and permit the sunshine and air to help absorb the moisture, and on cold, damp days 
the house is heated to prevent freezing and moisture. In this way the vitality of the 
seed cannot be destroyed. 
The corn is all very carefully resorted before it is shipped. 
A CRATE OF J. 0. TOLAND’S BOONE COUNTY WHITE SEiEiD CORN 
l 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE 
A standard variety of white corn that has held a high place in the list of white 
ear corn ever since its introduction. 
I have made a specialty of breeding Boone County White Seed Corn for years and 
have experimented with eight other varieties, but have found the Boone County White 
superior to all others. Why 1 ? On account of its fine quality and large yield. It is 
famous because of the large amount of protein it contains, which is so necessary in 
raising young stock and feeding work horses. 
Boone County White has been tested in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas with 
splendid results. It makes a strong and vigorous growth, making it valuable for 
ensilage. Under favorable conditions it matures in about one hundred and ten to 
one hundred and fifteen days. No other variety of white corn has shown like results, 
and we most heartily recommend it to the farmer and stock raiser. Price, per bushel, 
$2.50; one-half bushel, $1.50. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT CORN 
Reid’s Yellow Dent is a medium early variety, a medium size ear with a bright 
yellow color, having a deep grain and very small red cob. It has from 18 to 22 rows 
of kernels, and cobs are nearer filled at both ends than any other variety. This variety 
is adapted to soil and climate conditions as far north as Iowa. And in recent years 
it is one of the most popular varieties, noted for its high yield and excellent feeding 
qualities. It has been truthfully said, that three-fourths of the Yellow corn planted 
in the Corn Belt was Relid’s Yellow Dent. Price, per bushel, $2.50; one-half bushel, 
$1.50. 
BROOMCORN SEED. 
Broomcorn is one of the cheapest varieties of seed a farmer can plant. A'. 
the present price of my seed, $6.00 per bushel, it will only cost 30 cents per acre to 
plant J. O. Toland’s High Bred Seed, which germinates 95 per cent, or better. This 
price is very, very low in comparison with other field seeds.
