BUY GURNEY’S SELECTED SEED CORN 
Why not plant the best seed corn, when it only costs 32c per acre? Why pay more when you can buy the best from 
Gurney's at this low price? All seed corn Germinates 90% or better. We Have Originated and Introduced Many of 
the Best Varieties of Early Corn. Gurney’s August 15th and Gurney’s Rainbow Flint are two of our own creations. 
Gurney’s August 15th Corn 
This corn is of our own origina¬ 
tion and is nearly identical with 
Minnesota No. 23. Ours was int re¬ 
duced and catalogued by us one 
year previous to the Minnesota 
stations sending out their No. 23. 
Produces a medium sized _ ear of 
light yellow corn with a white cap. 
It is extra early or earlier than 
Northwestern Dent. It is more de¬ 
sirable corn on account of its higher 
feeding value and many people ob¬ 
ject to a real red corn like North¬ 
western Dent. The ears of August 
15th are almost perfect in shape 
and it is a very desirable corn for 
early feeding for August, and espe¬ 
cially valuable for the main crop 
variety for the extreme north, even 
into central Canada. It has saved the pocketbook of the southern farmer by mid-May and you can husk it on the 15th of August. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs. 
furnishing him feed long before any other varieties. Plant it for hogging off. $1.10; 28 lbs., $2.00; 1 bu., $3.70; 5 bu., $18.20; 10 bu., $36.00. 
Your hogs will enjoy a scrap with a good field of August 15th. Plant it by 
Minnesota 13 
The Corn That Added Millions of Dollars to Farm Values 
and Crowded the Corn Belt 300 Miles Further North 
Minnesota 13 —When the Min¬ 
nesota Department of Agriculture 
originated and disseminated Min¬ 
nesota No. 13 they could not rea¬ 
lize the countless millions of dollars 
they were adding to the agricul¬ 
tural wealth of the Northwest. 
This was the forerunner of the 
early varieties that made corn¬ 
growing profitable much further 
north than it had been previously. 
They gave us a high yielding, high 
protein content corn that would 
grow several hundred miles north 
of the profitable corn-producing 
belt heretofore. 
Minnesota No. 13 is a yellow 
variety and has been grown suc¬ 
cessfully as far north in North Da¬ 
kota and Montana as the Canadian line. With us May 25 planting matures 
about September 1, depending, of course, on the season. This variety is out- 
yielding many later varieties by actual weight per acre. We do not advise 
Minnesota No. 13 for the main crop further north than central North Da¬ 
kota because unusual weather conditions might destroy the crop further 
north than that. To the people of Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska, 
who are short feed from the previous crop, plant Minnesota 13 for early feed 
or hogging down. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 95c; 28 lbs., $1.50; 1 bu., $2.40; 
5 bu., $11.50; 10 bu., $22.00. 
Wimple’s Yellow Dent 
A famous Dakota variety of corn. It originated 
with Mr. Wimple, a corn specialist of South 
Dakota, and is now largely planted over the corn 
belt throughout the northern states. This 
variety, which has had a lot of careful work put 
on it, is a bright yellow corn, producing kernels 
of unusual depth. It gives good results anywhere 
south of central South Dakota, southern coun¬ 
ties in Minnesota and all points south. The ears 
grow well upon the stalk and the stalks are from 
7 to 9 feet high, depending on the location and the 
soil, and climatic conditions. Our seed is grown 
in South Dakota. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 80c; 
28 lbs., $1.25; 1 bu., $2.00; 5 bu., $9.75; 10 bu., 
$19.00. 
DeWolf’s Extra 
Prolific 
North Dakota White Dent 
This extremely early White Dent Corn has 
been thoroughly tried out in the extreme north 
and has made good, maturing in North Dakota 
in any ordinary season. 
In size like Minnesota No 13, Yellow Dent, 
and, like the No. 13, stands up well even in the 
extreme north. Stalks grow to a height of seven 
feet, ears are up three feet from the ground, 
making it easily harvested with the Corn Binder. 
It has been bred for yield and earliness, and 
will withstand more extremes of weather than 
any other Corn grown, with reasonably good 
farming, 40 bushels to the acre. Our supply 
of this corn is grown in South Dakota. 1 lb., 
20c; 14 lbs., 95c; 28 lbs., $1.50; 1 bu., $2.40; 5 
bu., $11.50; 10 bu., $22.00. 
This is another production of the 
late M. J. DeWolf. This corn ma¬ 
tures well to the central part of 
South Dakota and can be grown in 
the same district as Minnesota 
No. 13, but will outyield it. 
This bright, yellow corn will out¬ 
yield any other early corn and 
should be planted in the central 
half of South Dakota and southern 
Minnesota. 
We believe that if you try this 
corn one year you will discard the 
corn you are now growing and plant 
DeWolf’s Prolific exclusively. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 
95c; 28 lbs., $1.50; 1 bu., $2.40; 5 bu., $11.50; 
10 bu., $22.00. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent 
For the last ten years we have grown and 
selected a Reid’s Yellow Dent that would be 
satisfactory to the planter in the southern tier 
of counties in South Dakota, northern Nebraska 
and northern Iowa, as well as those farther 
south. Reid’s Yellow Dent is the ideal corn 
where it can be safely grown. It is too late for any 
place north of the north line ot Iowa and our strain 
of Reid’s is the earliest grown. Dakota Grown 
Reid's: 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 80c; 28 lbs., $1.25; 
1 bu., $2.00; 5 bu., $9.75; 10 bu.,$19.00.
