MINNESOTA 13 
The Corn That Added Millions 
of Dollars to Farm Values and 
Crowded the Corn Belt 300 Miles 
Further North 
When the Minnesota Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture originated and 
disseminated Minnesota No. 13 
they could not realize the countless 
millions of dollars they were add¬ 
ing to the agricultural wealth of 
the Northwest. This was the fore¬ 
runner of the early varieties that 
made corn-growing profitable much 
further north than it had been pre¬ 
viously. They gave us a high yield¬ 
ing, high protein content corn that 
would grow several hundred miles 
north of the profitable corn-pro¬ 
ducing 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 ma¬ 
tures about September 1, depend¬ 
ing, of course, on the season. This 
variety is outyielding many later 
GURNEY'S AUG. 15th 
The Earliest Dent Corn Grown 
This corn is of our own origina¬ 
tion and is nearly identical with 
Minnesota No. 23. Ours was intro¬ 
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 The ears of Au¬ 
gust 15th are almost perfect in 
shape and it is a very desirable 
corn for early feeding for August, 
and especially valuable for the main 
crop variety for the extreme north, 
even into central Canada. It has 
saved the pocketbook of the south¬ 
ern farmer by furnishing him feed 
long before any other varieties. 
Plant it for hogging off. Your hogs 
will enjoy a scrap with a good field 
of August 15th. Plant it by mid- 
May and you can husk it on the 
15th of August. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs.,

varieties by actual weight per acre. We do not advise Minnesota No. 13 for 
the main crop further north than central North Dakota 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., $1.55; 1 bu., $2.60; 5 bu.,

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., $1.55; 
1 bu., $2.60; 5 bu., $12.75; 10 bu., $25.00. _ 
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 92% 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 RAINBOW FLINT DAKOTA GROWN—The Best Corn for Hogging-off 
The largest eared, highest yielding, early Flint corn, originated by us 
and catalogued for the first time in 1915. . ....... 
This is a variety of corn that we are proud of. It is the corn child that 
we think more of than any other. Several years ago, Professor Hansen was 
visiting us while attending the State Horticulture meeting. As usual, he 
was talking of the production and the method of production of new varieties. 
We. finally talked corn, and the Mendel theories of production. Professor 
Hansen made the statement that if we would secure somewhere a variety 
of inbred corn, the longer it had been bred the better; go in another direc¬ 
tion and secure another variety, inbred just as long so that there would 
be no danger of these two lots being related in any way; place each variety 
in separate planters, planting two rows of one variety, then two rows ot 
th6 other; then detassel one ol the varieties and save it. fot^eedj_then_vve^ 
would receive from this seed a remarkable yield of corn, but that we must 
not continue it beyond one year, as the-chances were almost 1 to 1,000 that 
the second year it would degenerate and show the bad traits of both parents. 
We planted the seed as directed by him, and produced a wonderful yield 
of remarkable, large ears of early maturing flint corn, of about every color 
you can think of. The yield was so great, and so much better than either 
parent, that we thought we would take that one chance and try it again. 
Time has proven that we struck the one chance in the thousand, and pro¬ 
duced a wonderful flint corn. It is getting to be standard everywhere, as 
the largest producer of corn and fodder, the finest to look at, and one of 
the earliest to mature. It is not unusual to produce a very large percentage 
of 14-inch ears of 14, 16 and 18 rows. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 95c; 28 lbs.,
