Will’s Original Northwestern Dent 
The original Northwestern Dent Corn, a history of 
which is given in Bulletin No. 107 of the Montana Ex¬ 
periment Station, was introduced by Oscar H. Will in 
189 6, and almost immediately attained great popularity 
over the whole Northwest. So much so in fact that corn 
of every type, color and description has since been sold 
under the name which we gave to this early red dent. 
Bloody Butcher and Calico from South Dakota and 
Nebraska have disappointed many a farmer who had 
•bought them as Northwestern Dent, and found them too 
tall and too late to be of any value. The only safe plan 
therefore is to buy Will’s Original Northwestern Dent 
from Oscar H. Will & Oo. 
Northwestern Dent has been in the past more ex¬ 
tensively grown than any other variety in the North¬ 
west. It is extremely hardy and will produce a crop 
when all other dents fail, owing to its frost and drought 
resistance. Our strain is the early one, from 5 to 7 ft. 
tall, and ripens in 80 to 90 days. Lb., 30c, postpaid.

HYBRIDIZED NORTHWESTERN DENT. latest corn 
breeding discoveries demonstrate that the heaviest 
yielding type of corn is a cross between two or more 
pure inbred strains. We have now carried such 
strains for 14 years and cross them each year to pro¬ 
duce this very heavy yielding seed. Lb., 40c, post- 
paid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 75c; % bu., $1.50;

Minnesota 13 
Minnesota 13 Yellow Dent 
MINNESOTA 13 is one of the most popular vari¬ 
eties of Corn for silage and fodder purposes in the 
Northwest. It is adapted, however, only to good 
soil and favorable conditions. It will mature in a 
favorable year, but is on the average somewhat too 
late for anything but feed in our climate. Its yield 
of fodder and silage is very heavy and it attains 
near enough to maturity so that there is much dry 
matter in the content. It grows to a height of from 
seven to nine feet, depending on the season, usually 
bears two large ears to a stalk, which are many- 
rowed, and of a beautiful rich yellow color. Cob 
is red. We have two strains, both extra early 
and adapted to the Northwest. Perhaps you 
may prefer one, perhaps the other, depending 
on your previous experience and local condi¬ 
tions. These two strains are the HANEY 
STRAIN and the BOYD MISSOURI SLOPE 
STRAIN. Specify which you wish. Lb., 30c, 
postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 50c;

Northwestern Dent 
Alta Yellow Dent 
This is a medium late yellow dent resembling Minnesota 13 in appearance. About as early as 
Haney Strain 13 and our tests seem to show that it is better adapted to the drier sections of the 
Northwest than is the 13. It was produced by Professor Manley Champlin when at the S. D. 
Station at Highmore in the high plains region of that state. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 
10 lbs., 50c; bu., $1.25; bu., $2.10; 5 bu. @ $2.00.
