Ten Ears of Special Stock Wisconsin Silver King, Grown in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. 
SILVER KING (Wisconsin No. 7) 
BEST YIELDER OF ALL OUR WISCONSIN VARIE¬ 
TIES AND BY FAR THE BEST WHITE DENT FOR 
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. 
Silver King is not only the best white variety but one of 
the best and heaviest yielders of all varieties of corn. It 
came from northern Iowa to Wisconsin in 1904. We first 
offered it in 1907. Now it is well known and a standard 
variety. It is a big yielder and specially fine for the silo. 
It has yielded at the Wis. Ex. Station 98 bushels per 
acre and the average yield for the whole state for 3 years 
was 57 bushels as compared with 33 bushels, the average 
of all other varieties. 
The greatest yield for Silver King thus far reported and 
the yield record for Wisconsin, all varieties, so far as we 
know, is 137 6-10 bushels per acre. This yield was in 
Racine County. 
The Official Description from Wisconsin College of Agri¬ 
culture Corn Bulletin No. 170, is as follows: 
“This variety is a uniform creamy white in color and 
has a slight roughness of kernel. The cob is glistening 
white. The length of ears varies from 7 to 10 inches. 
The standard length is from 8 x / 2 to 9V 2 inches.

COLD RESISTANT GOLDEN 
GLOW. 
EARLIER THAN GOLDEN GLOW AND THE BEST 
GOOD-SIZED CORN FOR CENTRAL AND 
UPPER WISCONSIN. 
Cold Resistant Golden Glow is a genuine Golden Glow 
with all the good qualities of that variety and in addition 
with the cold resistant features bred into it so it will 
stand unfavorable weather. 
It is just what its name indicates, a strain of Golden 
Glow that will resist the cold, unfavorable weather we are 
so apt to have at corn planting time and a little later on 
and permit earlier planting. 
The official History and Description of Cold Resistant 
from Wisconsin Bulletin No. 170 reads as follows: 
“Owing to the cool weather which frequently prevails 
during the early part of the growing season and retards 
the growth of corn a strain was bred which will continue 
to grow under conditions too cool for ordinary varieties. 
This work was begun in 1914 by germinating six kernels 
from each of a large number of ears, in an ice box kept 
at a temperature of 42° to 45° P. After six years of 
selection, a strain of Golden Glow Corn was produced which 
will grow at a soil temperature several degrees lower than 
that required for the standard Golden Glow strains. 
Our Wisconsin Cold Resistant is from Pierce County, 
Northwestern Wisconsin. A lot of selection work has been 
put on it making it earlier. It runs a full week earlier 
in maturity than Golden Glow.
