SEED 
Our Pride of the North is a very popular variety. It ranks as a favorite not only with our 
northern customers, but with all who want a good producing early yellow variety. It is 
extensively used for late planting or where an early feeding corn is desired. 
This variety has a smaller stalk growth and does not use as much space as required by 
larger kinds.' It stands thicker planting. While the ears are a little smaller you will be 
surprised at the yields it produces by having four or five stalks to .the hill. We have seen it 
outyield later varieties. 
Characteristics—The ears are medium size, about 8 inches long, and quite large around in proportion to 
their length. The kernels are quite deep and of a rich yellow color. It has a pinched dent. The stalks, 
although short, are large and vigorous growers. We believe our Pride of the North is one of the best pro¬ 
ducing strains and our seed quality is excellent. Usually matures in 90 to 95 days. 
LOiW WU1T1S &U7 
This is also known as the Red 90 Day. A fine,variety to plant for early feeding corn. 
Cattle feeders like it very much. Gives excellent feed supply before main crop matures. 
Saves on feed bills. Yields well. One of the best varieties for late replanting. A very hardy, 
strong grower. Succeeds under conditions when others fail to make profitable yields. It 
certainly deserves the wide popularity it has. Every farmer should try to include at least a 
few acres of this variety in his crop schedule for this year. 
Description—The color is cherry red and on top of the kernel there Is a white or light yellow cap. The 
white cob is of medium size. Ears are 8 to 9 inches long and usually have 14 rows of kernels. Stalks are 
of medium height, and the kernels are dented. This variety should make a good crop as far north as Min¬ 
neapolis. 
We have a carefully selected lot of this Red White Cap Corn. It is a strain that has been kept true to 
type, high in production and vigorous in growth. You will get a superior article when you order this 
variety of ours. See page 32 for prices on all varieties. 
This is the type of corn 
many farmers demand. It Is 
a big type yellow corn ma¬ 
turing in 95 to 100 days in 
the northern half of the Corn 
lielt. We obtained this corn 
from a big corn grower in 
northeastern Iowa. He pro¬ 
duced 3000 bushels last year 
which was a drought year. 
This corn was dry and hard 
long before frost. Golden 
King is the corn you need 
for filling your silo before 
your neighbor starts to cut 
his corn. 
Description 
It Is a fairly smooth Yel¬ 
low Dent corn. Has a medium 
size cob. The kernels are fairly 
deep. The ears run 9 to 11 
Inches long. Produces a good 
size sturdy stalk for an early 
corn. Our seed was hand 
picked, butted, shelled and 
double graded. We guaran¬ 
tee a germination of 0i% or 
better. 
This variety is similar to our Red White Cap in many 
ways. It is even earlier than the Red. Kernels medium 
yellow color with a white cap. Ears quite long and well 
filled. Kernels of medium depth and dented. A good 
producer and an extra good yellow variety. We have yet 
to receive a complaint on our Yellow White Cap. Its 
earliness gives early feed and permits of late planting. 
It is practically in a class by itself and we recommend 
it highly as a wonderful early variety. 
LONG FELLOW FLINT 
A very popular yellow flint 
variety. Ripens in 75 to 85 
days. Very productive. 
Grown extensively in ex¬ 
treme north. Ears are long. 
Kernels large and wide. 
Color rich glossy yellow. 
Cob very small. Stalks 
about 7% feet high. Ears 
about 3 feet from ground. 
Our Longfellow flint is 
extra good seed and rea¬ 
sonably priced. 
This wonderful va¬ 
riety has been the 
means of extending 
the corn growing in¬ 
dustry over a greater 
amount of new terri¬ 
tory than has ever 
been done by any one 
variety. It is also 
known as Wisconsin 
No. 7. It is especially 
adapted to growing 
in Northern sections. 
It has produced phe¬ 
nomenal results in 
northern Iowa, Min- 
n e s o t a , 'Wisconsin 
and Michigan. It 
gives a good account 
of itself wherever 
grown. 
Description 
Ears are from 8 to 
9 inches long, and run 
very uniform. Ears 
are well filled, and 
kernels are of good 
length, set in straight 
rows. In our opinion 
it is the greatest and 
earliest white dent 
and for the northern 
part of the corn belt 
it is a most profitable 
kind to grow. Our 
Silver King 
is fine.
