OLDS’ SEED CORN 
(Plant 7 to 12 lbs. to the acre.) 
The latest Government Crop Report for the United States estimates the corn crop to he 58.5% . of last year and 
only 54.5% of the 5-year average. Wisconsin, however, was more fortunate than other states as we had about 93% 
as compared with last year. Good Seed Corn will be in demand this year. Considering the short crop prices are low 
now but they are likely to advance. . 
This year the freight rates on corn and grains to all parts of Wisconsin and to some other sections (see freight 
table page 73) are lower as corn now goes at 5th class to these points. 
KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY. We have probably given more attention to Seed Corn during the past 20 
years or more than to any other single item. We specialize in the Wisconsin varieties originated at the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station and we have developed and improved those varieties so that now we feel 
safe in saying that there are no stocks of Seed Corn available anywhere adapted to Wisconsin conditions 
that are quite equal to the stocks we offer. 
HIGH YIELDING STRAINS. Olds’ Seed Corn will not only grow but it will produce high yields. Do not be 
careless about the seed you plant. Our corn is low in price, considering the quality. Plant the best Seed Corn you 
can get as the cost an acre of it is only a trifle. 
WISCONSIN GROWN CORN 
OUR CORN GROWN BY SPECIALISTS. We have our corn grown, selected, sorted, dried and graded by a 
group of expert corn men in different parts of the state who grow the different Wisconsin varieties on a large scale. 
All our Wisconsin corn is fire-dried and it is all from select ears. Most of our growers use the new Wright Corn 
Dryers. The corn is either tipped before shelling or thoroughly graded after shelling and much of it graded with 
Hero Corn Graders. See page 75. 
CERTIFIED CORN. The Wisconsin Experiment Association certifies stocks of seed corn of the approved Wiscon¬ 
sin varieties grown by careful growers in accordance with their requirements. The corn must be grown at least 40 
rods from any other variety, must be true to type, practically free from mixture and show at least 95 per cent germi¬ 
nation. , 
SPECIAL STOCK WISCONSIN. This is our best grade of Seed Corn. It is grown by experts who have special¬ 
ized in growing high quality corn for several years and all this stock is State Sealed and Certified. 
WISCONSIN. This is all Wisconsin Grown Corn but is not State Sealed or Certified. 
WISKA. This seed is grown in Nebraska from Wisconsin seed. However, we are not offering any this year as the 
crop was a complete failure. 
MURDOCK YELLOW DENT. (Wisconsin No. 13.) 
SWEEPSTAKES CORN OF THE NORTHERN ZONE. 
Murdock Yellow Dent is our favorite variety of c orn. It was awarded sweepstakes for the Northern 
Zone, comprising 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. This was about 25 years ago and 
the Brueckner Murdock that we have now has had th e advantage of all the years since then in breeding, 
selection and improvement. Mr. Brueckner took more than 35 premiums in 12 years.

Wisconsin Pure Bred Grain Show. Exhibited by Mr. H. C. Brueckner. 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 520. 
We have a limited stock to offer this year of a new 
strain of Hybrid Corn. This Hybrid was produced from 
seed stock obtained direct from the Wisconsin Experi¬ 
ment Station and is the result of 10 years of breeding 
work. Order early as the seed supply is limited this year. 
Wisconsin Hybrid 520 is composed of four inbreds. It 
is a few days earlier than the regular Golden Glow, grows 
remarkably uniform, stands up well, producing uniformly 
large, handsome ears. Outyields all standard varieties of 
corn. We recommend it for any section where medium 
maturing Golden Glow proves satisfactory but it should be 
planted only on real good corn land. Seed should not be 
saved from a crop of Hybrid Corn as the seed breaks up 
the next year. 
Special Stock Wisconsin—Prices: y 2 pk., 90c; pk., 
$1.75; bu., $6.00; 2y 2 bus. at $5.95; 10 bus. at $5.90. 
State Sealed in Vz bu. and bu. sacks only. 
Description; Murdock Yellow Dent 
is of a deep yellow color, ears 8 
to 9 V 2 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. Mur¬ 
dock is not a lot different from 
Golden Glow but it grows a trifle 
larger both in stalk and ear and 
yields a trifle more. Better for 
silage than Golden Glow. Not quite 
as early but nearly so. 
BRUECKNER MURDOCK. We 
handled Mr. Brueckner’s Murdock 
Yellow Dent for 13 consecutive years 
up to the time of his death in 1922, 
and he was selecting and further 
improving the corn each year during 
all that time. Since his death his 
son, Leo Brueckner, has continued 
the work of developing and improv¬ 
ing, using his father’s methods. All 
the Brueckner Murdock we offer 
this year was grown by him. 
Our Wisconsin grown Murdock is 
fire-dried and choice and most of it 
from Brueckner seed originally.

WISCONSIN NO. 25. 
(Northern Yellow Dent) 
EARLIEST OF ALL WISCONSIN VARIETIES. 
This is the corn for the extreme north and for late plant¬ 
ing farther south. Earlier than any other dent variety 
and pronounced by the Wisconsin Experiment Station as 
‘ ‘well adapted to the northern sections as a seed and silage 
variety.” It originated at the Ashland Station, a cross 
of Wisconsin No. 8 and a very early yellow dent which 
was secured from Northern Michigan. 
Our stock is grown in Pierce County, and is not only 
State Certified but State Sealed and Verified. 
Special Stock Wisconsin: y 2 pk., 60c; pk., $1.05; bu.,
