CANADA SMUT NOSE FLINT 
This corn matures in 80 to 85 days and averages 50 bushels per acre 
of well matured corn. The stalks, which average 7 feet in height, often 
bear two or three ears, 10 to 15 inches long, very compact, and rich 
golden yellow, blazed with red towards the tip. The ears are set 
about three feet from, the ground. 
Canada Smut Nose is well liked for hogging-off purposes as hogs make 
very rapid gains. In the northern sections it is also grown extensively 
for silage and fodder, 
RAINBOW FLINT 
This is a larger Flint corn variety than the other kinds that we 
offer. It is suited for planting in southern Minnesota, Wisconsin and 
South Dakota, also northern Nebraska and Iowa and is a very heavy 
yielder of mature corn. Rainbow Flint is also very popular as a fodder 
variety and for hogging down. We have not previously listed this variety 
but the request for dependable seed stock has been so great in the last 
few years that we decided to offer it to our customers. 
YELLOW DENT FODDER CORN 
A standard early variety that has given our customers very good 
satisfaction for many years. It is a heavy yielder of fodder and may 
be used for feeding green from the field, as well as for silo filling and 
for curing in shocks, to be fed later in the bundle. 
Early type—Stalks large, ears medium, matures in 85 to 90 days. 
Late type—Stalks and ears large, matures in 95 to 100 days. 
WHITE DENT FODDER CORN 
Similar to the yellow dent fodder varieties, and is especially produc¬ 
tive of leafy growth and large ears. We offer both early and late types. 
SWEET FODDER CORN 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder—This variety will grow 9 to 10 feet high 
and produce a great amount of fodder. It will iiicrease the production 
of milk wonderfully, when fed to dairy cows. Stalks are sweet, tender, 
juicy, and nutritious, with large broad leaves produced in great abun¬ 
dance. Ears are large and white. Weight, 48 lbs. per bu. Plant 15 
to 20 lbs. ])er acre. 
Price: All varieties of corn—Lb. 20c, 6 lbs. 70c, postpaid. Not pre¬ 
paid, lb. 15c, 5 lbs. 60c. For larger quantities, see Blue Figure List. 
LONGFELLOW 
FLINT

rich and glossy appear¬ 
ance. The ears are 12 to 
16 inches long, filled with 
large, broad kernels. It 
is not unusual to find 
three full-sized ears grow¬ 
ing on one stalk and 
fields that yield 50 bush¬ 
els per acre. It is a heavy 
producer of fodder as 
well as of ears. The 
average height is 7% 
feet, while ears are about

F. S. & N. CO.’S IDEAL SILO CORN 
Known throughout the Northwest as the greatest yielder of corn for 
fodder purposes. For feeding _ green, as ensilage, and for curing in 
shocks to be fed in the bundle, it is the most productive corn obtainable. 
Ideal Silo Corn is of exceptionally strong, vigorous growth, with 
stalks growing 8 to 10 feet high, and broad, thick leaves that make 
succulent fodder. It is not coarse, like southern fodder corn. The 
ears grow from 8 to 12 inches lon^, with medium deep yellow kernels. 
Because of its deep vigorous root system, it adapts itself readily to 
unfavorable soil and climatic conditions, withstanding drought and wind, 
and cold, wet weather equally well. It matures in 95 to 100 days, only 
a few days later than Minnesota No. 13. 
As a silo filler. Ideal Silo Corn is unsurpassed. Many of our cus¬ 
tomers, who now depend upon Ideal Silo Corn for all their fodder, have 
filled silos, 12x30, with corn from 4 acres and 12x35, with corn from 
5 acres, when ordinary corn from 10 to 12 acres for the same size 
silo was formerly required. See Blue Figure Price List for quotations. 
KING PHILIP FLINT 
This extra early red flint corn 
is eight-rowed and one of the 
most reliable and productive 
varieties for the Northwest. The 
ears grow 12 inches long with 
eight straight rows of broad ker¬ 
nels of shiny red color. Stalks 
produce two and sometimes 
three good large ears. Not near¬ 
ly as hard as ordinary Flint 
Corn. The stalks grow 
about 7 feet in height and 
are very leafy, therefore 
more valuable for fodder 
than Dent Corn. Matures 
in 80 days.

F. S. & N. Co.: 
A zvhile back we heard form you asking for results from your 
seeds. I am sending you a photo taken on September 4, 1936, the 
worst drought yeat* that we have ever experienced in this part of 
the country. 
This is corn from your seed, F. S. & N. Silo Corn. Filled our silo 
12x32 from 8 acres. The corn run on an average of 10 ft. tall. 
Cobs were plentiful and were on an average of 12 in. long. 
Most of the neighbors are only getting half a silo' full from 10 
to 14 acres. Their corn came only about half and so short they are 
cutting with grain binders.—Paul Pokaltus, Colby, Wis.
