Other corn in existence. The stalk is thick at the ground, of medium height, and deep rooted. The ears are from 18 to 20 rows ; average length, 11 inches and 
weigh IV 2 pounds. The grains are rather deep, of wedge shape ; the cob comparatively small and dries out quickly, insuring a matured crop in about 110 days

REID’S YELLOW DENT _This is a very popular variety throughout many places in the corn belt and has won more prizes at Corn Shows than all 
other corn put together, it being especially a great show and exhibition corn. 
It is a light golden color, the ears running from nine to eleven inches long, seven to eight inches in circumference and eighteen to twenty rows on the cob* 
The ears are of symmetrical shape the entire length and will shell out at least 85 per cent, grain. The ears are very well filled from butt to tip. It is a very vig¬ 
orous grower, stalks from eight to twelve feet high, producing an abundance of foliage which makes it heavy in tonage to the acre. We have taken particular 
pains in selecting our seed stock and believe we have the very best strain to be found. We are well pleased with this variety and if you want something to win 
prizes with, get some of our seed stock. 
This corn contains more oil and less starch than any other corn in existence, and this accounts for the fact that Reid’s Yellow Bent will put more fat 
on a hog than any other corn used for stock feeding. Many cattlemen will not grow or buy any other variety for feeding. It is safe from frost in from 90 to 
100 days. Pkt., 5c.; 3 pkts., 12c.; lb., 20u.; 3 lbs., 50c„ postpaid. By express or freight* not prepaid, 4 qts.; 40c.; pk., 60c*; 1-2 bu,, $1.00; 
bu., $1.60. 
PROSPERITY YELLOW DENT _A corn that will produce a good crop under less favorable conditions than are required to raise a satisfactory 
crop of Reid’s or Golden West Yellow Dent. It can safely be said to produce more under ordinary treatment than 
any other large variety of yellow dent. The ears are borne about 4 feet from the ground, convenient for husking in the field. The shank is long, allowing the ear to 
droop and shed the rain. Ears are from 10 to 12 inches long, well filled at the tip and butt and the grains are not as tight on the cob as some other sorts, which 
lessens chance for mildew and is easy for feeding on the cob. It usually ripens in 100 days and can be relied upon to mature in an unfavorable season. Pkt., 6c.; 
3 pkts., 15c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 50c., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 4 qts., 60c.; pk., 80c.; 1-2 bu., $1.50; bu., $2.25,

MORTGAGE LIFTER YELLOW DENT == We introduced this new and distinct Yellow Dent Field Corn several years ago and it has 
given our customers great satisfaction wherever grown. 
A large corn grower in Loraine Co.. O.. says : “While visiting at the World’s Fair, I procured a few grains from an ear which was a sport found in a field 
in Iowa, and pronounced it the most beautiful ear of corn at the fair. That is how the splendid variety found its way into the east and from these few grains 
we have bred out the Yellow Field Corn, which we do not think can he surpassed. The grains are the largest of any large ear variety in cultivation. The stalks 
grow very quick, rank and green and will stand storms to a remarkable degree. Those who have grown the Mastodon, Chester County Mammoth, Klondike, 
Learning, Iowa Gold Mine, Champion White Pearl, Mills’ Golden Superior, Golden Beauty, White Cap Yellow Dent and Early Butler say that this coin will out 
yield any of them. We have records of fields producing 107 bushels and 118 bushels of corn per acre. The largest grower of seed corn in America says it will 
mature in from 85 to 95 days and has 14 to 24 rows on a cob and the longest and largest of any early corn in cultivation. Describing it he says : "Mortgage 
Lifter is the most beautiful Yellow Dent Corn ever seen. It will mature in 85 to 95 days and it has the largest grains of any early yellow corn in cultivation It 
grows from 7 to 11 feet high, strong, rank and quick, and stands storms remarkably. The ears are of a very large size and will out yield any other corn grown 
It husks and shells easily, brings the highest market price as it will sell for seed on sight. It will cure out in the shock where large cob varieties will mold and 
spoil. 
The above is what the originator said of this variety and while we have sold thousands of bushels of this sort for seed, we are glad to say that our customers 
are much pleased with it and we believe it is a hard variety to surpass. We have a very fine stock of extra choice seed which we can supply our customers 
this year.
