Burleigh County Mixed or Dakota Squaw Com 
Hardy—Early—Heavy Yielding 
This is a mixed form of the early flint and is the first variety listed by 
us after our business was started. It has retained its popularity through 
all the years since on account of its extreme earliness, and its unusual 
hardiness and heavy yield. It is very resistant to both drought and frost 
and fully as heavy a yielder as any variety of early flint. It is a flint 
Corn of mixed colors, yellow, white, blue and red predominating, ears 
long and slender, mostly eight-rowed. 
This Corn shells out heavier than any other variety. Lb., 30c, postpaid.

Mandan King 
The Heavy Yielding, 
Long Eared Flint 
A cross between King Philip Late Flint and the native Mandan Indian 
corn, this variety combines many of the good qualities of both, and sur¬ 
passes in yield both parents. It is a somewhat late, tall growing, leafy 
flint which is a tremendous yielder, often bearing three ears to the stalk. 
Ears are long and slender, dark red to reddish yellow, stalks slender so 
that there is no waste. The amount of feed produced per acre is almost 
unbelievable. Postpaid, 1 lb., 30c. F. O, B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 50 c; ^ bu.,

Assinibome Flint Corn - Earlicst » f c »™ 
Mandan King 
Grown 
This exceedingly early and hardy little Corn was secured by us from the Assiniboine 
Indians of Saskatchewan and has been raised there for decades. It is one of the very 
earliest and hardiest types of Corn in the world. Ripens 10 days before the Gehu and 
Dakota, so has an especially useful place in hogging off. Yields only 15 to 20 bushels if 
checked in, but if drilled at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre will yield as high as 40 or 50 
bushels per acre. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10' lbs., 60c; *4 bu. @ $1.40; bu.

Mandan White Flour Corn 
North Dakota Grown for 200 Years—Requires No Grinding—Wonderful for Hogging Off 
Government tests have demonstrated that the flour Corns are actually even higher in 
feed value than the dents and are much more easily ground up and digested by stock 
than any other type of Corn. In response to an urgent demand we have grown a suffi¬ 
cient supply of the white flour Corn 
from the Mandan Indians to be able to 
supply it at reasonable prices for field 
purposes. This is as early as the early 
flints, a very heavy yielder of both fod¬ 
der and ears, and certainly worthy of 
trial either for hogging off or ripening.

Mercer Yellow Flint 
The Tall, Leafy Silage Corn 
This is the fourth time for many 
years that we have listed the Mercer 
Flint. There is, however, quite a de¬ 
mand for it from the eastern part of 
the state, especially for silage pur¬ 
poses. There is little waste in converting it to silage 
on account of the slender stalk. Rather late, but often ripens. About as sure as early strains of 
Minnesota No. 13. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 50c; *4 bu., $1.40; bu., $2.50. 
Mandan White Flour Corn 
Mandan-Navajo 
Yellow Flour 
Corn 
This is another hybrid similar to the Pride of the Plains, except that it is yellow instead of white, 
and therefore somewhat more attractive than the white. Drought resistant, leafy, large ears. Par¬ 
ents are Mandan Yellow Flour corn and yellow flour corn from the Navajo tribe of Arizona. Lb®, 30c, 
postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 60c; ^ bu., $1.50; bu., $2.75. 
Pride of the Plains Flour 
Corn 
The New Drought Resistant, Leafy, Heavy Yielding Hybrid. A medium early flour corn, with excep¬ 
tional drought resistant qualities, and wonderful silage and feed possibilities on account of the length 
and number of its leaves, a quality peculiar to the desert corn of the Southwest which is one of its parents. 
The ears are large and of excellent 
feeding quality. It is a selection from 
a cross made by us a number of years 
ago between the drought resistant corn 
of the Zuni Indians who live in the 
most arid sections of New Mexico in 
pueblos on the high mesas and the 
white flour corn from our own Ft. Ber- 
thold Indians. For drought resistance 
it should be planted unusually deep.
