BARTELDES 
Tested SEED CORN 
The difference between good seed and poor seed is al¬ 
ways several bushel per acre and sometimes means all the 
difference between success and failure. 
Our seed is selected in the ear, then tipped, batted, shell¬ 
ed and cleaned. Above all, it is tested for germination and 
we put the germination on the tag. 
GRADED CORN. This takes out nearly all of the uneven 
kernels. The cost of this is 25c per bushel extra. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
KAW CHIEF. The corn is of a deep, golden yellow color, 
ears large, measuring up to 13 and 14 inches in length 
and have 16, 18 and 20 rows to the cob. A bushel of Kaw 
Chief Corn on the ear will yield 58 to 60 pounds of shell¬ 
ed corn. Kaw Chief Corn matures in from 95 to 105 days, 
and ordinarily yields for 75 to 80 bushels per acre. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT (100 days). Ears medium size, 
remarkably uniform, a bright yellow color with a deep 
grain and small red cob. 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH (90 days). This variety has 
smaller ears than the late kinds, but is valuable, as it 
matures early. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully 
matured by October 2nd. A light orange color. 
IMPROVED LEAMING (90 days). This is one of the 
earliest yellow dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90 to 
100 days from planting. Orange yellow color and red cob. 
IOWA GOLD MINE (90 days). It is early, ears of good 
size and symmetrical; color bright golden yellow. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY (100 days). The ears are of perfect 
shape with from 10 to 14 straight rows of bright golden 
yellow grains, remarkable in size and filled out complete¬ 
ly to the extreme end of the cob. 
WHITE VARIETIES 
PRIDE OF SALINE. Pride of Saline is a medium late, 
about like Silver Mine and Reid’s. The ears are of me¬ 
dium size, the corn is pearly white, medium short, quite 
rectangular in shape and rather hard. In variety tests 
at Manhattan it outyielded every other variety for three 
straight years. If you want to fill your corn crib, plant 
Pride of Saline. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE (100 days). Medium late, ears 
large, well proportioned. This variety yields well, even in 
a dry season. 
IOWA SILVER MINE (90 days). The ears measure from 
10 to 12 inches in length, 16 to 20 straight rows of deep, 
pure white kernels on a small cob. 
HICKORY KING (110 days). It is a great yielder, giving 
more shelled corn to the bushel of ears than any other 
variety. 
ALFALFA 
DON’T PUT WEEDS BACK ON YOUR LAND. BUY 
ONLY PURE SEED FROM A RELIABLE DEALER. 
Alfalfa seed has been grown in Kansas since 1868, and 
the Barteldes Seed Company was the first to offer this 
for sale in this part of the country. 
Although there is more Alfalfa grown in Kansas than 
in any other state, more acreage could still be grown 
profitably. It usually brings a high price compared to 
other crops, and this year the farmer realized a very 
good profit from his Alfalfa crop. 
SEEDING— In the first place be sure that your seed is 
pure, free of Dodder, Russian Thistle and other noxious 
weeds. 
Success in starting Alfalfa depends largely upon pre¬ 
paring the proper seed bed. The ideal seed bed is firm, 
well settled, not too hard, and with the surface soil mel¬ 
low and finely pulverized as deep as the seed is to be 
sown. Alfalfa will grow on a number of soils grading 
from sandy to heavy clay and “gumbo,” but if your soil 
needs lime then lime must be added to your soil. If it 
needs fertilizer we suggest Acid Phosphate with or with¬ 
out manure. 
Red Corn bloody BUTCHER (100 days). This 
corn resists the drought. Ears long, 
grain deep red, having sometimes a yellow tip. 
Odd Varieties * 90 , , days ^ Blue - 
(Semi-flint). This variety grows very 
dwarf, resisting drought. It is early. Ears are rather small 
and the kernels are blue or white and blue. 
CALICO (100 days). The Old-Fashioned Red, White and 
Yellow. Ears are large, grains deep and cob small. Very 
rich in protein and a good feed for stock. 
BRAZILIAN or STOOLING FLOUR CORN 
This corn is inclined to stool. It produces an abundance 
of fodder, and is fine for ensilage, ground and bolted by 
the same process as wheat, gives a fine flour. 
PLANT NOTHING BUT TESTED CORN. 
TREAT ALL SEED CORN WITH SEMESAN JR. 
IT PAYS. 
Also inoculation is inexpensive and very helpful to your 
crop of Alfalfa. We suggest McQueen’s Inoculator,

KANSAS COMMON ALFALFA —(Verified) In buying Al¬ 
falfa seed be sure that you get seed which is adapted to 
your climatic conditions. We recommend Kansas Grown 
Seed for the Middle West with Oklahoma Seed and Utah 
Seed for second choice. Our best grades of Alfalfa Seed 
are Kansas Grown and U. S. Verified, which is protection 
for you. 
For Colorado, we recommend Colorado seed first and 
Utah second. 
GRIMM ALFALFA —is becoming more popular every 
year. We have never heard of an instance in the United 
States where it has winter killed.
