FIELD CORN 
THESE VARIETIES HAVE ALL BEEN GROWN ESPECIALLY FOR SEED. THE SEED IS WELL CURED 
AND TRUE TO NAME. 
There is no longer any doubt as to Corn being grown successfully in the Northwest, and careful tests have 
proven the following to be adaptable to our coast climate. As a fodder crop corn cannot be excelled, and cut 
green and packed in silos it makes a valuable green feed for milk cows. 
We can quote a very low price on Corn in lots of 10 lbs. and over. Write and ask us. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 
This dent corn has been a surprise to its users on 
account of its extreme earliness. The ears are not as 
large as some other varieties, but its large production 
of ears makes it a heavier yielder than most others. 
The ears are of handsome appearance, bearing 16 to 
20 rows of bright, yellow, smooth wedge-shaped kernels 
packed closely on the cob from butt to tip. The ears 
average eight inches in length and are. borne usually 
two on a stalk. No corn excels in quality the Minne¬ 
sota No. 13 ; the cobs are well filled and the individual 
kernels plump and of good color. 
Minnesota No. 13 thoroughly matures in ninety days 
when planted on favorable soil and in good location, 
but ninety-five to one hundred days places it out of 
danger under average conditions. It may be planted 
as late as the second week in June and yet safely ma- 
ture a crop. Per lb. 15c, postpaid 
IMPROVED LEAMING 
A very popular and extremely productive variety. On 
good land the stalks grow tall, producing two good 
ears to each stalk. The ears are long, with small red 
cob, well filled with grains of medium size, of a rich 
golden color. It ripens in from 100 to 110 days, and 
makes a good crop even in dry seasons, by reason of 
its strong vigorous growth. Stalks are leafy, making 
excellent fodder, while the grains, being so deep, yield 
an extra large quantity of shelled corn per bushel of 
ears Per lb. 15c, postpaid 
GENUINE EUREKA ENSILAGE CORN 
, CHAMPION WHITE PEARL 
A large. White Dent variety; very popular with our 
dairymen on account of the great amount of green 
feed it makes. Per lb. 15c, postpaid 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH 
A Dependable Early Yellow Dent Corn. In some sec¬ 
tions of the Northwest it equals other varieties in yield 
and quality. The stalks are well proportioned, being 
short jointed and leafy. Two or more well developed 
ears are frequently found on a single stalk. The ker¬ 
nels are very deep and closely set on the ear. Pride of 
the North shells more corn in proportion to cob than 
most other varieties grown in the West. It is specially 
valuable to stockmen, to feed in the bundle thus sav¬ 
ing the expense of husking. Average height of stalk 8 
feet, average distance base of ear from ground, 3 feet.

OREGON GROWN YELLOW DENT 
Oregon grown; acclimated. A grand success in 
Oregon. We have been raising this variety for years, 
and by selecting the earliest ripening and best select 
ears, now have a strain that is a revelation to many 
people who have thought Oregon and Washington 
could not raise profitable field corn.

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN 
All varieties of sweet corn possess very much more 
“sugar” than any feed sort, and this being the most 
important constituent, it necessarily follows that the 
corn holding this in greatest quantity has the greatest 
net value. Evergreen Sweet Fodder grows much taller 
than the Early Sweet Fodder and makes well formed, 
but not matured, ears in almost any part of the North¬ 
west. Drill 1^ to 2 bushels to the acre. 
Per lb. 20c, postpaid 
GENUINE EUREKA 
ENSILAGE CORN 
Outstanding as the Heaviest Producer of Silage 
Material—It Pays to Plant the Best. 
Many varieties of seed corn have been offered as 
Eureka but we have found many times that corn 
supplied is only the common Southern White Dent 
or some other white variety which will produce a very 
much smaller yield. Genuine Eureka is a smooth white 
dent corn with short kernels, while most other corns 
offered as Eureka are a long kernel type. Eureka 
almost invariably will germinate nearly 100% and is 
of such a vigorous growth that severe changes of 
weather conditions do not affect the yield seriously 
after the corn has become rooted. 
We do not claim that Eureka will mature in the 
Northwest. 
Per lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid; 10 lbs. and over 
at 10c lb., f. o. b. Portland. Order early. 
HERE’S WHERE THE 
TALL CORN GROWS! 
(Oregon Journal, October 23rd, 1934) 
The tall corn of Iowa has nothing on the corn grown 
at the county farm. 
O. A. Johnson, superintendent of the farm, reported 
to the county commissioners Monday that 324 tons of 
ensilage corn of an average height of 15 feet was pro¬ 
duced on 18 acres at the farm this year. This was 18 
tons to the acre. At $3 a ton the total value was $972. 
Johnson reported the two silos at the farm will 
hold 200 tons. The rest of the corn was fed green to 
the dairy stock. 
Johnson submitted a photograph showing a man 
riding a horse in the corn field. The corn reached far 
over the man’s head.
