SELECTED SEED CORN 
BOONE COUNTY 
WHITE —This is the 
prize winner. It is a 
medium-late Corn, re¬ 
quiring about 110 to 
120 days to mature the 
grain. Grows a large, 
heavy, well-bladed fod¬ 
der, and is an excellent 
Corn both for the crib 
or silo. The ears are 
from 9 to 12 inches 
long and well propor¬ 
tioned. running about 
20 to 22 rows of deep 
grain on a medium¬ 
sized, pure white cob, 
with deep, well-filled 
medium shank. The 
tips are also well filled, 
often completely cov¬ 
ered. The kernels are 
of the Dent variety, 
moderately rough, very 
deep and wedge-shaped 
and form straight, com¬ 
pact rows. It will pro¬ 
duce 20 to 25 tons en¬ 
silage per acre, and the 
cured fodder makes ex¬ 
cellent dry provender. 
On good ground it will 
average 18 to 20 tons 
per acre. Pk. 75c; 
bu. $2.50. 
EUREKA ENSI¬ 
LAGE —Eureka is more 
universally grown for 
ensilage than any other 
one variety. It is a 
double purpose corn, for, 
aside from being a first- 
class ensilage corn, as a field variety it ranks high in yield. 
It is tall and leafy, 13 to 15 feet high, with an enormous 
growth of fodder. It bears one to two ears to the stalk, 
the ears frequently over 12 inches. The grains are me¬ 
dium large, flinty, closely placed on a small cob and are 
very high in protein. The ears are resistant to corn ear 
worm, weevil, ear rot and are seldom unsound. It makes 
ensilage in about 100 days. Pk. 75c; bu. $2.50. 
“HICKORY KING” WHITE CORN —So large are 
the grains and so small the cob that on an ear broken in 
half a single grain will almost cover the cob section. Of 
a strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in the ground 
and stand upright, resisting severe storms. It yields 
splendid crops on light soils and is undoubtedly the best 
and most productive White Field Corn for the South. 
Pk. 75c; bu. $2.50. 
CUBAN GIANT ENSILAGE CORN —Grains are 
pure white, very large, broad and long. Of stronger 
vitality than any other variety. It is the best milk pro¬ 
Yellow Varieties 
ducer of all Ensilage Corns, being as sweet as Sugar 
Corn. Outyields the Red-Cob Ensilage and is 10 to 12 
days earlier. Pk. 70c; bu. $2.25. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY —Very large, broad grains, ar¬ 
ranged very evenly on gigantic cobs. The fodder is 
enormous, often growing 12 feet high. Matures late, but 
yields wonderful crops. Desirable for silo and ensilage 
purposes. Pk. 75c; bu. $2.50. 
EARLY LEAMING —Its extreme earliness has made 
it a favorite with the farmer, and especially with those 
in the localities where the seasons are short. Ears and 
grains are of medium size. Pk. 75c; bu. $2.50. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT —A standard variety of 
Yellow Dent Corn. Slender grains, of a beautifui golden 
yellow. The kernels grow very close together. Smalicob; 
good yielder. Pk. 75c; bu. $2.50. 
CLOVER SEEDS 
ALSIKE, or SWEDISH (Trifolium Hybridum)— 
The most hardy of all Clovers; perennial. On rich, moist 
soil it yields an enormous quantity of hay or pasturage, 
but its greatest value is for sowing with other Clovers 
and Grasses, as it forms a thick bottom and greatly 
increases the yield of hay. Sow the seed in Spring or 
Fall, at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre, when sown 
alone. Write for prices. 
ALFALFA, or LUCERNE (Medicago Sativa) —The 
most valuable forage crop on the farm today. It is sown 
during May, August and September, these being the 
best months for success, although it can be sown at 
other times with a possible chance of doing well. Sow 
20 pounds per acre. 
BOKHARA or SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus 
Alba) —While extensively used as a bee food, this is a 
valuable variety for soiling (green manure); for sowing 
in spring on lands which are later to be sown in Alfalfa, 
this is excellent. It inoculates the ground and seems to 
render it more capable of insuring a good stand of 
Alfalfa than if it is not used. It grows from 3 to 5 feet 
high, according to soil and location; can be cut as often 
as three times in a season if wanted for forage. Sow 
15 lbs. per acre in early Spring, alone, or 10 lbs. per 
acre with other crops. We handle only the true white 
flowering hardy variety. 
RECLEANED RED (Trifolium Pratense) —This is 
by far the most important of all the varieties for prac¬ 
tical purposes. Sow in Spring or Fall, and if no other 
grasses are used, at the rate of 15 pounds per acre. 
Write for prices. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trtfollum Incarnatum)— 
This is used principally for soiling or green manuring, 
for which purposes it is highly valuable. If desired for 
feed, cut it just before it flowers. When desired for 
green manure, it should be allowed to mature; its height 
is from 1 to 2 feet. Sow 20 lbs. to the acre. Late 
summer or fall seeding is usually practiced. It is not 
hardy for more than one season and must be sown each 
year. 
WHITE DUTCH (Trifolium Repens) —A small, 
creeping perennial variety, valuable for pasturage and 
for lawns. It accommodates itself to a variety of soils, 
but prefers moist ground. K lb. 15c; lb. 40c.
