WHITE CAP 
For Poor Land 
Insure Your Corn Crop by Planting 
Our Special Strain 
No other corn will produce more bushels of good solid ears on 
thin land than our special strain of White Cap. For over thirty 
years this variety has been grown by us, and no pains spared to 
improve it for the special purpose of high yield and well-developed 
ears. It not only yields well on thin land, but responds to high 
culture and rich soil as any other corn. It will do well on either 
clay or black soil and every farmer should grow one or more fields 
of this variety to insure against crop failure. The ears are slightly 
tapering, averaging about 9y 2 inches long. Stalks with plenty of 
blades, making excellent fodder. It matures in 100 to 110 days. As 
the name implies, it is a white cap corn—not a white corn, but 
yellow kernel with a small cob, and moderately deep grains filled out 
to the very ends. See enclosed leaflet for prices. 
WARNING FOR 1936 
Not since the fall of 1917 did corn go into cribs carrying so high 
a percentage of moisture. The continued wet weather throughout the 
entire fall and winter has retarded the natural drying process and 
encouraged molds and disease of all kinds that affect corn. The 
result is—

LOW GERMINATION OF PRACTICALLY ALL CORN 
Our seed was in our warehouse by November 25. The furnaces 
and battery of fans were kept going day and night until we thor- g aP white Cap 
oughly and carefully dried our corn below the danger point. In fact Corn 
the temperature has never reached 25 degrees above zero. 
One bushel of seed com will plant around 7 acres. No other seed is so cheap per acre and you depend 
more on your corn crop than all the rest. Good germination will do more to help you raise a bumper crop 
than any other one factor. We specialize in the care of Seed Corn and when you buy your Seed Corn 
from us you can be sure the germination is exactly as it is marked on the tag. Why take a chance for 
only a few cents per acre. We receive hundreds of letters from customers telling how our strains have 
increased their yields. In fact many Farmers depend upon us for their Seed Corn each season. It pays 
them and it will pay you. 
EARLY WHITE DENT F,NEST « t ^ f a° l rEARLY 
W r e recommend Early White Dent to be one of the very best early white varieties. It is a strong, thrifty 
grower and an exceptionally heavy yielder for an early corn. If you plant early you can be the first in 
your community to have white corn meal. It matures for us on clay soil in about 90 days. Note the good- 
sized ears in cut below. The cob is not large and grains very deep. You will like this early variety as it 
fills the need for a white general purpose corn better than any kind we know anything about. Try a small 
acreage and allow it to prove itself. See enclosed leaflet for prices.

I raised 110 bushels of corn per acre from your White Dent last year. I was very much 
pleased with it.
