Mountain Grown Seed Corn 
Matures two weeks earlier, will often make you a safe corn crop when Seed Corn from the “Corn Belt” 
would fail. All our Seed Corn is high altitude grown. 
Corn is a big paying crop for the mountain rancher. There never has been enough corn raised on the 
•western slope to feed the poultry. You can usually get the Eastern price plus freight for your crop. Under 
irrigation, corn sometimes yields as high as 100 bushels to the acre. 
Hand Picked Seed 
The superlative in Seed Corn Stocks is reached in the Hand Picked Seed we are offering to our customers 
this season. While all our Seed Corn is carefully selected, butted and tipped, and thoroughly machine cleaned, 
in our constant desire to give our customers the very best, we have carefully picked over each kernel of these 
stocks and taken out any kernels which were not perfect. 
It costs over $20.00 to raise an acre of corn, of which about 50c is the cost of the seed. Figure it out; will 
you try to save a few cents on the seed and risk losing the $20.00? 
The extra work we have put on this seed will be amply repaid in the perfectly even stand in your corn field. 
Colorado No. 13. One of the earliest yellow dents. 
This seed was produced at an altitude of 6,300 feet 
and is fully matured. Yields as heavy as Minnesota 
13; ears are somewhat smaller, fodder very similar, 
but it matures a week to ten days earlier. See 
Colored Price List for Current Prices. 
Rainbow Plint. The true high-altitude or short-sea¬ 
son corn. Matures much earlier than the dent 
varieties; a good yielder, ears very long and slen¬ 
der; kernels hard and smooth. Many colors on ofie 
ear, thus the name Rainbow. See Colored Price 
List for Prices. 
Australian White Flint. (80 days.) Survives drought 
or cold. Ears 8 to 12 inches long, 8 to 10 rowed. 
Excellent for grain or silage. See Colored Price 
Sheet for Current Prices. 
Minnesota No. 13 Yellow Dent. (85 days.) One of 
the earliest Dent Corns grown, and a fine yellow 
corn that always brings a premium on the market. 
A favorite since 1897, when it was introduced by 
the Minnesota Experiment Station. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Crawford Yellow Dent. We recommend this corn to 
anyone whose season permits the growing of Min¬ 
nesota No. 13. It has a deeper kernel; matures 
just as early, and shells out a larger percentage of 
corn. See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Feterita 
The earliest of the drought-resisting Sorghums. In 
a dry year it will outyield all other Sorghums. Re¬ 
sembles Milo excepting that the stems are uniformly 
erect and the seed is larger and softer. See Colored 
Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Yellow Milo Maize 
A variety of Sorghum, non-saccharine, stalks 8 to 
10 feet high. It stands dry weather and makes its 
crop where Corn would fail. It ripens seed in 90 to 
110 days, making it suitable for high altitudes. The 
culture for Milo Maize is the same as for Kaffir Corn. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Ilegari 
Decidedly the best dry land sorghum crop. A heavy 
producer of both forage and seed. Seed is one of the 
best poultry feeds produced, resembling kaffir corn. 
The fodder is a very desirable feed and is relished by 
all livestock. Highly recommended for semi-arid 
soils; produces exceedingly heavy crops under irriga¬ 
tion. See Colored Price Slieet for Current Prices. 
Sudan Grass 
One of the best catch crops to plant when late seed¬ 
ing is necessary. Matures a crop of hay almost as 
quickly as Millet and much quicker than the Sorghum 
crops. Can be cut every six weeks until frost. Frost 
kills it entirely. A real drought resister, renewing 
its growth immediately when rain comes. Plants 
stool freely and make a leafy hay. An enormous hay 
yielder and the hay can be fed in unlimited quantities 
without any danger to stock. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Buckwheat 
A grain crop often used to smother weeds and clean 
up weedy soils. Also a catch crop that can be sown 
late. Good for bees. 
Japanese. Larger grain crop than Silverhull, and 
earlier. 
Silverhull. Longer season in bloom, best for bees. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Cedaredge Special. The very best yellow dent corn 
for short seasons or for extremely high altitudes. 
Matures large ears and deep kernels. Our seed 
stock was grown at approximately 7,000 feet. It 
is a heavy yielder and the fodder is large and 
leafy, stalks growing 7 to 8 feet high. See Col¬ 
ored' Price Sheet for Current Prices. 
Northwestern Dent. (85 days.) An early Dent corn. 
A heavy yielder adapted to varied soil conditions. 
Kernels are cherry red with yellowish cap. Yields 
well in grain and tons of fodder. See Colored Price

Swadley Dent. (80 days.) Gives big yields on poor, 
upland soils where other varieties fail. An old 
Colorado variety with ears 8 inches long, 12 to 16- 
rowed, with broad, soft, pale yellow dented kernels. 
See Colored Price Sheet for Current Prices.

Grohoma 
Grows 4% to 5 y 2 feet high, drought resistant, pro¬ 
duces seed “heads 1 0 to 15 inches long, is a heavy 
yielder of grain, and produces a heavy crop of fodder. 
Grohoma is a sugar cane with a Kaffir Corn head, is 
rich in protein and fat. It stools heavily, often 8 and 
10 stalks from a single seed; and it only requires 1% 
to 2 pounds of seed per acre. See Colored Price Sheets

Kaffir 
Dwarf Black Hull White. A stocky, non-saccharine 
sorghum, bearing many leaves and a very heavy seed

30 to 50 bushels of grain to the acre. The stalks 
and leaves remain green until the seed is matured, 
making the best feed, as well as grain crop. It is a
