FLINT AND FODDER CORN 
Ideal Silo Corn Outsells All Other Varieties Combined. 
F. S. & N. CO.'S IDEAL SILO CORN 
Known throughout the Northwest as the greatest yielder of corn 
for fodder purposes. For feeding green, as ensilage, and for curing 
in shocks to be fed in the bundle, it is the most productive corn 
obtainable. Up-to-date Farmers, Like Fred Hubbard, Plant Ideal Silo Corn. Read Below

Ideal Silo Corn is of exceptionally strong, vigorous growth, with 
stalks growing 8 to 10 feet high, and broad, thick leaves that make 
succulent fodder. It is not coarse, like southern fodder corn. The 
ears grow from 8 to 12 inches long, with medium deep yellow kernels. 
Because of its deep vigorous root system, it adapts itself readily to 
unfavorable soil and climatic conditions, withstanding drought and wind, 
and cold, wet weather equally well. It matures in 95 to 100 days, only 
a few days later than Minnesota No. 13. 
As a silo filler, Ideal Silo Corn is unsurpassed. Many of our cus¬ 
tomers, who now depend upon Ideal Silo Corn for all their fodder, have 
filled silos, 12x30, with corn from 4 acres and 12x35, with corn from 
5 acres, when ordinary corn from 10 to 12 acres for the same size 
silo was formerly required. See Blue Figure Price List for quotations. 
KING PHILIP FLINT 
This extra early red flint corn 
is eight-rowed and one of the 
most reliable and productive 
varieties for the Northwest. The 
ears grow 12 inches long with 
eight straight rows of broad ker¬ 
nels of shiny red color. Stalks 
produce two and sometimes 
three good large ears. Not near¬ 
ly as hard as ordinary Flint 
Corn. The stalks grow 
about 7 feet in height and 
are very leafy, therefore 
more valuable for fodder 
than Dent Corn. Matures 
in 80 days. 
LONGFELLOW 
FLINT 
A yellow flint corn of 
rich and glossy appear¬ 
ance. The ears are 12 to 
16 inches long, filled with 
large, broad kernels. It 
is not unusual to find 
three full-sized ears grow¬ 
ing on one stalk and 
fields that yield 50 bush¬ 
els per acre. It is a heavy 
producer of fodder as 
well as of ears. The 
average height is 7% 
feet, while ears are about 
3 feet from the ground. 
Matures in 85 days.

We had very good success zvith your Ideal Silo Corn last year and 
filled two of our big silos. Our neighbors’ silos stood empty for lack 
of something to harvest. 
Fred C. Hubbard, Colman, S. Dak. 
As I was well pleased with your _ Silo Corn that I got from you last 
year, I am ordering .2 bu. more this year. I filled a silo that held 67 
tons and it was filled with 33 rows, 80 rods long. (67 tons from 3j4 
acres.) Henry Tatge, Wells, Minn. 
I had wonderful corn last year with your Ideal Corn. Planted it 
on peat soil June 8. Had 10 stalks at the Becker County Fair and 
received 1st prize for tallest corn —12 ft. 4 in. tall, so you can take my 
word. I had a lot of feed on my small farm for 26 head of cattle of 
which 16 are milk cows. Wm. H. Lage, Detroit Lakes, Minn.

CANADA SMUT NOSE FLINT 
This corn matures in 80 to 85 days and averages 50 bushels per acre 
of well matured corn. The stalks, which average 7 feet in height, often 
bear two or three ears, 10 to 15 inches long, very compact, and rich 
golden yellow, blazed with red towards the tip. The ears are set 
about three feet from the ground. 
Canada Smut Nose is well liked for hogging-off purposes as hogs make 
very rapid gains. In the northern sections it is also grown extensively 
for silage and fodder. 
YELLOW DENT FODDER CORN 
A standard early variety that has given our customers very good 
satisfaction for many years. It is a heavy yielder of fodder and may 
be used for feeding green from the field, as well as for silo filling and 
for curing in shocks, to be fed later in the bundle. 
Early type—Stalks large, ears medium, matures in 85 to 90 days. 
Late type—Stalks and ears large, matures in 95 to 100 days. 
WHITE DENT FODDER CORN 
Similar to the yellow dent fodder varieties, and is especially produc¬ 
tive of leafy growth and large ears. We offer both early and late types 
SWEET FODDER CORN 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder—This variety will grow 9 to 10 feet high 
and produce a great amount of fodder. It will increase the production 
nf. milk wonderfully, when fed to dairy cows. Stalks are sweet, tender, 
juicy, and nutritious, with large broad leaves produced in great abun¬ 
dance. Ears are large and white. Weight, 48 lbs. per bu. Plant 15 
to 20 lbs. per acre. 
Golden Evergreen Sweet Fodder Corn—Very similar to the Evergreen

WARNING—Be sure to test all corn saved for seed. Reports show that very 
little 193.5 corn has a high germination and that we may have the most severe 
seed corn shortage ever known. All seed corn should he treated with Barbak III 
or Semesan Jr. See page 72. We offer treated seed on page 66.
