IOWA GOLD MINE 
This is a very popular Yellow Dent 
Corn, and preferred by many to any 
other sort. We have found that it is a 
first-class variety and we have taken 
particular pains in selecting- our seed 
stock. It is early, ripening a few days 
later than Pride of the North, ears are 
of good size, symmetrical and the color 
is a bright golden yellow. Grains very 
deep, cob small, which enables it to dry 
out quickly. Seventy pounds of Corn 
on the ear make 62 to 63 lbs. of shelled 
Corn, and usually outweighs common 
varieties on an equal quantity. It ma¬ 
tures perfectly even as fur North as 
Michigan. We can recommend Iowa 
Gold Mine and ofTer choice seed stock 
as follows: Pkt. 6c., 3 pkts. 12c., lb. 
20c., 3 lbs. 50c., postpaid. By express

REID’S YELLOW 
DENT 
This is a very popular variety and 
one of the handsomest sorts grown,and 
is a great prize winner. It is a light 
golden color, ears symmetrical shape 
the entire length and the cob carries 
a large amount of Corn, shelling at 
least 85 per cent grain. The ears are 
always well filled from butt to tips. It 
is a vigorous grower, producing an 
abundance of foliage, which makes it 
heavy in tonnage to the acre. We

ing our seed crop and can offer it as

MORTGAGE LIFTER YELLOW DENT CORN 
This new and distinct Yellow Dent Field Corn was introduced several years ago, and it has 
given our customers great satisfaction wherever grown. 
A large corn grower in Loraine Co., O., says: “While visiting the World’s Fair I procured a 
few grains from an ear which was a sport found in a field in Iowa, and pronounced it the most 
beautiful ear of corn at the fair. That is how this splendid variety found its way into the east, and 
from these few grains w-e have bred out this Yellow Field Corn, which we do not think can be sur¬ 
passed.The grains are the largest of any largeear variety in cultivation.The stalks grow very quick, 
rank and green, and will stand storms to a remarkable degree. Those who have grown the Masto¬ 
don, Chester County Mammoth. Klondike, Learning, Iowa Gold Mine, Champion White Pearl.Gold¬ 
en Superior, Golden Beauty, White Cap Yellow Dent and Early Butler say that this corn will out- 
yield any of them. We have records of fields producing 107 bushels and 118 bushels of corn per 
acre. The largest grower of seed corn in America says it will mature in from 85 to 95 days, and has 
14 to 24 rows on a cob and is the longest and largest of any early corn in cultivation.” Describing it 
he says: “Mortgage Lifter is the most beautiful Yellow Dent Corn over seen. It will mature in 85 
to 95 days and it has the largest 
grains of any early yellow corn 
in cultivation. It grows from 7 to 
11 feet high, strong, rank and quick, 
and stands storms remarkably. The 
ears are of a very large size and will 
outyield any other corn grown. It 
husks and shells easily, brings the 
highest market price, as it will sell for 
seed on sight. It will cure out in the 
shock where large cob varieties will 
mold and spoil.” 
The above is what the originator said 
of this variety, and while thousands of 
bushels of this sort have been sold for 
seed, we are glad to say that our cus¬ 
tomers are much pleased with it and 
we believe it a hard variety to surpass. 
We have a very fine stock of extra 
choice seed which we can supply our 
customers with this year, at the fol¬ 
lowing prices:

PRIDE OF THE 
NORTH 
This is a reliable variety, very desir¬ 
able for an early Dent Corn, suitable 
for main crop as far North as Michi¬ 
gan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. We 
offer a very choice strain which has 
been carefully selected and much su¬ 
perior to the ordinary Pride of the 
North on the market. The color is deep

cob. Grain narrow, generally
