STANDARD OR OPEN POLLINATED VARIETIES 
Certified, selected, care¬ 
fully bred open polli¬ 
nated seed corn is scarce. 
Crib corn is plentiful 
but undependable. Why 
take a chance ? 
Golden Jewel—Best for Southern Minnesota. 
EARLY MURDOCK, CERTIFIED 
Murdock is a yellow dent variety quite similar to 
Golden Jewel in appearance except that it has fewer 
rows. The kernels are medium deep with a wrinkled 
dent. Our strain is 5 to 10 days earlier than Golden 
Jewel and produces high yields of very fine quality. 
The ears are 8 to 914 inches long, of golden color, 
compact and uniform. It is primarily adapted to south¬ 
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, also northern 
Iowa and Illinois. It may be grown in some parts of 
central Minnesota and south central Wisconsin. It 
matures in about 100 days from the time of planting. 
The yields of Murdock are only slightly less than those 
of Golden Jewel. 
MINNESOTA IDEAL, CERTIFIED 
This splendid large eared yellow dent corn, which 
we introduced, is very productive. It is a standard 
corn variety for southern Minnesota and other states 
of the Corn Belt. Minnesota Ideal matures a few days 
later than Minnesota No. 13. Under good growing 
conditions the yields are very high. Minnesota Ideal 
has a strong, vigorous root system and stiff stalks 
which enable it to stand up well. It is also an out¬ 
standing silage and fodder corn, producing more tons 
per acre than other varieties. 
RUSTLER WHITE DENT, CERTIFIED 
This is the best main white variety now being 
grown in central and southern Minnesota, South Da¬ 
kota and parts of Wisconsin. It produces larger yields 
than some of the yellow varieties of the same maturity. 
The average height of the stalk is 8 ft., and the ears 
have 14-16 rows of kernels. 
NORTHWESTERN DENT, CERTIFIED 
Northwestern Dent Corn is a cross between a red 
flint and a yellow dent, and has red kernels with light 
yellowish and cream shadings. No other variety is 
grown as extensively in North Dakota, nOTthern Min¬ 
nesota and Wisconsin as Northwestern Dent. Under 
ordinary conditions it matures in 80 to 85 days. 
Northwestern Dent will produce high yields per acre 
for early corn. The ears are of good size, 7 to 9 inches 
long, having 10 to 14 rows of kernels._ The stalks are 
5 to 7 feet in height. This variety is excellent for 
hogging down. 
DON’T EXPERIMENT WITH UNKNOWN CORN 
The freezing temperatures of October, 1935, reduced the seed corn 
crop to a point where there was only a small amount available for 
193 6. As a result, farmers everywhere were forced to buy ordinary 
crib-run corn in order to get good germinating seed stocks. Conse¬ 
quently the corn produced in 1936 could not have been a normal 
crop even if growing conditions had been favorable, for this crib 
corn was in many cases mixed, and lacked breeding and selection, 
and much of it was run out. Our corn which had the proper breeding, 
even under the drought conditions that prevailed, produced better 
crops. 
Through long years of careful breeding and selection, we have 
improved the recommended varieties of open pollinated corn, and 
each year we offer only the finest of seed stocks which are carefully 
field inspected and state certified and sealed by the Minnesota Crop 
Improvement Association. 
When you buy our seed, you know that it will be adapted to your 
locality and the tag and seal of the Minnesota Crop Improvement 
Association is your assurance that you are getting the genuine variety. 
Seed corn prices are lower in 1937, and we have a fairly good 
supply so you cannot afford to continue growing low yielding, poor 
type varieties when for a very small cost per acre, you can increase 
your yield and get a far greater return per acre that will show you a 
profit. Now is the time to renew your foundation stocks. 
GOLDEN JEWEL, CERTIFIED 
Golden Jewel was introduced by us and there is no 
variety grown in southern Minnesota that surpasses it 
for yields of high quality corn and fodder. This variety 
is on the recommended list ol the Minnesota Experiment 
Station. Tfie ears are of a golden yellow color, very 
compact, 8-10 in. in length, 16-20 rows of medium deep, 
square shouldered kernels on a small red cob, and run 
from a moderately smooth to a slightly rough ear. It 
grows 8-10 ft. tall. 
It is especially adapted to southern Minnesota, Soujth 
Dakota, Iowa, southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois 
and other Corn Belt states. 
GOLDEN KING, CERTIFIED 
A Medium Early High Yielding Variety 
Golden King has been grown in central and southern 
Minnesota and northern Iowa for many years and is 
highly productive, having won in a number of yield 
tests. This corn grows 8 ft. tall. The ears are of rich 
golden color, medium deep kernels, 14-16 rows, 8-9 in. 
in length. It is recommended by the Minnesota Ex¬ 
periment Station for central and southern Minnesota 
and is also highly recommended for northern Iowa. 
It ripens earlier than Golden Jewel and can be depend¬ 
ed upon to produce a crop of ripe corn in practically 
any season. Golden King shows a much smaller per¬ 
centage of barren stalks than any of the open pollinated 
varieties. 
We do not hesitate to recommend it for central and 
southern Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and 
other localities where a 100 to 105 day corn variety 
can be grown to advantage. 
LARGE TYPE OR SOUTHERN STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, CERTIFIED 
This strain has been especially selected for southern 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, northern Iowa, 
and similar localities. The ears are smooth, deep yellow 
in color, 7 to 9 inches in length, 14 to 16 rows of 
medium deep kernels. Stalks grow 7 to 9 feet tall 
and it matures in 100 to 105 days. It will produce 
large yields on good corn land. 
CENTRAL STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, CERTIFIED 
This was the original strain of Minnesota No. 13 
and is especially adapted to central Minnesota, Wis¬ 
consin, and northern South Dakota, maturing about a 
week earlier than the Large Type Minnesota No. 13 or 
in 95 to 100 days. It is the best known open pollinated 
variety in central Minnesota. 
EXTRA EARLY HANEY'S STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, CERTIFIED 
This strain is particularly adapted for northern Min¬ 
nesota and Wisconsin and North Dakota and is the 
earliest open pollinated yellow dent corn now being 
grown. Stalks grow 5 to 7 feet tall and will mature 
very readily in the northern areas under normal con¬ 
ditions and is very good for hogging off or early feeding 
in other sections of the Corn Belt. It matures in 85 
to 90 days. 
EASY TIGHT CORN SHOCK 
BINDER 
Makes Binding Easy 
Has weight enough to be thrown around 
the shock, which it draws and holds 
securely. Corn leaves green, wet or dry 
do not interfere with its operation, as it 
has an open top on wheel. Price, 9 5c, pre¬ 
paid to 3rd zone.
