Pride of the Plains S!«co™ 
The New Drought Resistant, Leafy, Heavy Yielding Hybrid. A medium early flour corn, with excep¬ 
tional drought resistant qualities, and wonderful silage and feed possibilities on account of the length 
and number of its leaves, a quality peculiar to the desert corn of the Southwest which is one of its parents. 
The ears are large and bf excellent 
feeding quality. It is a selection from 
a cross made by us a number of years 
ago between the drought resistant corn 
of the Zuni Indians who live in the 
most arid sections of New Mexico in 
pueblos on the high mesas and the 
white flour corn from our own Ft. Ber- 
thold Indians. For drought resistance 
it should be planted unusually deep.

Assiniboine Flint Corn 
From the Canadian Indians—Earliest Type 
of Corn Grown 
This exceedingly early and hardy little Corn was secured by us from the Assiniboine 
Indians of Saskatchewan and has been raised there for decades. It is one of the very 
earliest and hardiest types of Com in the world. Ripens 10 days before the Gehu and 
Dakota, so has an especially useful place in hogging off. Yields only 15 to 20 bushels if 
checked in, but if drilled at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre will yield as high as 40 or 50 
bushels per acre. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.30; y z bu., $3.25; 1 bu. 
or more @ $6.00.

Flint. 
Acme Fodder Corn 
The Best Silage Corn for the Northwest 
Acme fodder is a mixture of off type dent corn or of the local mixed strains or other 
early dents of which we may have an extra amount. Being a mixture it is ranker and 
more luxuriant in growth and a heavier producer. For this reason it is especially val¬ 
uable for silage. Tt is easily handled with a binder and gives just about the right degree 
of maturity early enough for silo filling. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.20'; y s bu., $2.75; 
1 bu. or more @ $5.00. 
Mandan King. 
^ / -a y r, The Heavy Yielding, 
Mandan King Eared Flint 
A cross between King Philip Late Flint and the native Mandan Indian 
yellow flour corn, this variety combines many of the good qualities of 
both, and surpasses in yield both parents. It is a somewhat late, tall 
growing, leafy flint which is a tremendous yielder, often bearing three 
ears to the stalk. Ears are long and slender, dark red to reddish yellow, 
stalks slender so that there is no waste. The amount of feed produced 
per acre is almost unbelievable. Postpaid, 1 lb., 30c. F. O. B. Bismarck, 
10 lbs., $1.30; y> bu., $3.25; 1 bu. or more @ $6.00. 
Mandan King. 
North Dakota Grown for 200 Years—Requires No Grinding—Wonderful for Hogging Off 
Burleigh County Mixed or Dakota Squaw Corn 
Hardy—Early—Heavy Yielding 
This is a mixed form of the early flint and is the first variety listed by 
us after our business was started. It has retained its popularity through 
all the years since on account of its extreme earliness, and its unusual 
hardiness and heavy yield. It is very resistant to both drought and frost 
and fully as heavy a yielder as any variety of early flint. It is a flint 
Corn of mixed colors, yellow, white, blue and red predominating, ears 
long and slender, mostly eight-ro\yed. 
This Corn shells out heavier than any other variety. Lb., 30c, postpaid.

Government tests have demonstrated 
that the flour Corns are actually even 
higher in feed value than the dents and 
are much more easily ground up and di¬ 
gested by stock than any other type of 
Corn. In response to an urgent demand 
we have grown a sufficient supply of the 
white flour Corn from the Mandan In¬ 
dians to be able to supply it at reason¬ 
able prices for field purposes. This is 
as early as the early flints, a very 
heavy yielder of both fodder and ears, 
and certainly worthy of trial either for 
hogging off or ripening. Lb., 30c, post¬ 
paid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.30;
