Minnesota 13 Yellow Dent 
MINNESOTA 13 is one of the most P°P" 
ular varieties of Corn for silage and fod¬ 
der purposes in the Northwest. It is 
adapted, however, only to good soil and 
favorable conditions. It will mature in a 
favorable year, but is on the average some¬ 
what too late for anything but feed in our 
climate. Its yield of fodder and silage is 
very heavy and it attains near enough to 
maturity so that there is much dry matter 
in the content. It grows to a height of 
from seven to nine feet, depending on the 
season, usually bears two large ears to a 
stalk, which are many-rowed, and of a 
beautiful rich yellow color. Cob is red. 
We have strains, extra early and adapted 
to the Northwest. Lb., 40c, postpaid. F. 
O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.25; % bn., 
$3.00; bu,, $5.75. Larger lots at same 
price.

Will’s Original Northwestern Dent 
The original Northwestern Dent Corn, a history of which is given 
in Bulletin No. 107 of the Montana Experiment Station, was introduced 
by Oscar H. Will in 1896, and almost immediately attained great popu¬ 
larity over the whole Northwest. So much so in fact that corn of 
every type, color and description has since been sold under the name 
which we gave to this early red dent. Bloody Butcher and Calico from 
South Dakota and Nebraska have disappointed many a farmer who 
had bought them as Northwestern Dent, and found them too tall and 
too late to be of any value. The only safe plan therefore is to buy 
Will’s Original Northwestern Dent from Oscar H. Will & C'o. 
Northwestern Dent has been in the past more extensively grown 
than any other variety in the Northwest. It is extremely hardy and 
will produce a crop when all other dents fail, owing to its frost and 
drought resistance. Our strain is the early one, from 5 to 7 ft. tall, 
and ripens in 80 to 90 cays. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F\ O. B. Bismarck, 
10 lbs., $1.30; y, bu., $3.50; bu., $6.25. 
HYBRIDIZED NORTHWESTERN DENT. Latest corn breeding dis¬ 
coveries demonstrate that the heaviest yielding type of corn is a 
cross between two or more pure inbred strains. We have now car¬ 
ried such strains for 14 years and cross them each year to produce 
this very heavy yielding seed. Lb., 40c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 
10 lbs., $3.00; y 2 bu., $4.00; bu., $7.25. 
Hybridized Northwestern Dent 
Alta Yellow Dent 
This is a medium late yellow dent resembling Minnesota 13 in appearance. About as early as Haney 
Strain 13 and our tests seem to show that it is better adapted to the drier sections of the Northwest 
than is the 13. It was produced by Professor Manley Champlin when at the S. D. Station at Highmore 
in the high plains region of that state. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.30; y 2 bu., $3.50; 
bu., $6.35. 
PAYNE’S WHITE DENT. Somewhat later than Pioneer, this selection of Rustler made many years ago in 
South Dakota has given very good results at the Great Plains Station at Mandan where it has been 
carefully selected and improved by Mr. Sarvis. Uniform and a good yielder. Ll>., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. 
Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.50; % bu., $3.50; bu., $6.25. 
CRIMMIN’S STRAIN RUSTLER DENT. This strain which has produced championship samples for the 
past several years at the State Corn Show and the International is an unusually fine and uniform selec¬ 
tion made by Mr. David Crimmins of Hazelton, N. D.. who is one of the outstanding corn growers in 
our state. It is said to have some Pioneer Dent blood which accounts for its drouth resistance. Lb., 
postpaid, 40c. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.30'; y< bu., $3.50; bu., $6.25.
