Golden 
Glow 
The Best Yellow 
Corn for Wiscon¬ 
sin and all localities 
north of Rockford, Ill. 
Golden Glow is the most 
popular variety of Wisconsin 
corn. It is grown more largely 
than any other variety, and in 
fact it is estimated that half of all 
the corn grown in the state now is 
Golden Glow. It certainly is well 
adapted to all sections of the state as 
far north as north-central Wisconsin. 
It is a little earlier than either Murdock 
or Silver King, hence safer in an unfavor 
able season.. 
Description. Golden Glow is a pure 
golden yellow corn, ears fairly large, the 
standard official length being 8 M to 9 M inches. 
It is strictly a Wisconsin corn developed at the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. 
717 Silver King (Wisconsin No. 7) 
By Far the Best White Dent for Wiscon¬ 
sin, Northern Illinois and Iowa. 
. Silver King is not only the best white variety but 
one of the best and heaviest yielders of all varieties 
of corn for the Northern states. It came from northern 
Iowa to Wisconsin in 1904. Now it is well known and a 
standard sort. It is a big yielder. The Official Descrip¬ 
tion from Wisconsin College of Agriculture Corn Bulletin 
No. 170, is as follows: 
“This variety is a uniform creamy white in color and has a 
slight roughness of kernel. The cob is glistening white. The 
length of ears varies from 7 to 10 inches. The standard length is 
from 8% to 9 3^ inches. 
“The foundation stock of Silver King was secured from John 
Banks, Algona, Iowa, by the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1904. 
Since that time it has been improved by ear-to-row breeding and 
adapted to Wisconsin climatic conditions. This variety breeds true to 
type and is one of the best yielders. Reports from Experiment Asso¬ 
ciation members show a six year average yield (1918-1923) of 62.1 
bushels per acre, an increase of 18.9 bushels above the state average.” 
714 Murdock Yellow Dent (Wisconsin No. 13) 
Sweepstakes Corn of the Northern Zone 
Murdock Yellow Dent was awarded sweepstakes for the Northern Zone, com¬ 
prising the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota 
at the National Corn Expositions of 1909 and 1910, and this in competition with corn 
of all varieties. Mr. H. C. Brueckner of Jefferson County, Wisconsin, was the exhibitor of 
this corn. He took more than 35 premiums on it in 12 years. 
Murdock Yellow Dent is of a deep yellow color, ears 8 A to 9 A inches in length, hard and 
solid, just slightly rough and very uniform in type. It makes a large heavy growth of stalk 
and leaf and so is a good silage variety. Murdock is not a whole lot different from Golden 
Glow but it grows a trifle larger both in stalk and ear and yields a trifle more.

* ‘Germination Guaranteed’ ’ 
Seed Corn is the most important item of all farm crops and 
the least expensive. You should be absolutely certain of 
dependable seed long before you are ready to plant it. 
Order your supply early—test it yourself and know its 
vitality before it is too late. 
Seed Corn is a crop that must be acclimated to the 
locality where.you plant it. You can’t expect corn 
grown in Southern latitudes to mature north. 
Northern grown corn, however, will produce 
larger and better crops south than some native 
varieties. 
We specialize on Northern Grown Pure 
Bred Seed for our Northern customers 
and Southern or Central grown seed for 
our Southern trade. 
GUARANTEE: We grant you 10 
days after arrival of your seed corn, 
to critically test and examine it. 
If not up to your liking, ship it 
back at our expense and you 
will get your money refunded 
by return mail. No wran¬ 
gling here. You are the 
judge; you don’t take any 
chance buying of us.
