Isbell’s Northern Grown Seed Corn 
Early White Cap Yellow Dent (I ^e) OB 
A Selected Strain of the Old Standard Variety 
Do not confuse this strain with the large, late, white cob 
type of White Cap which is only suitable to the southern 
counties of Michigan. Isbell’s Early White Cap Yellow Dent 
matures in 90 to 100 days and the ears have small, red 
cobs. The kernels are creamy yellow with white caps. It 
is a good yielder on light soils aqd is also more resistant 
to drought than the yellow varieties. Makes a good leafy 
stalk 8 to 9 feet high and is a splendid early ensilage 
variety especially for the North. 
Pickett's Yellow Dent 
A Reliable 90-Day Yellow Dent 
This variety is the result of many years of careful selec¬ 
tion by Mr. Pickett of Kent County, Michigan, from whom 
it derives the name. The ears are long and somewhat slen¬ 
der, with a small, dark red cob. The kernels are slightly 
rough and rather deep for such an early variety. The seed 
we offer was grown from Certified seed which came direct 
from the originator. 
Isbell's Earliest of Early Dents 
Also Called Canadian Dent and Minnesota King 
Earliest of Ehrly Dents is an extremely early Corn that 
ripens normally in 85 to 90 days. It is an eight-rowed Corn, 
neither a true Dent nor a Flint, but a Hybrid Dent having 
very broad yellow kernels with white caps. The ears are 
slender with very small cobs. It is used a great deal by 
stockmen who feed Corn in the bundle without husking, 
and also for hogging down early. 
Smut Nose Early Flint 
Also Called Early Red Blazed 
This is a very early and hardy type of Flint Corn and 
the best known of all the Flint varieties. It will stand more 
cold weather than almost any other sort. The ears are long 
and slender, having eight rows of kernels. Length of ears 
is 10 to 14 inches. Kernels are a bright tan color except 
at the tips which are deep red. 
Early Yellow Flint 
This yellow flint is of rich and glossy appearance. The 
ears are 10 to 12 inches long, with large broad kernels. It 
is a heavy producer of ears as well as fodder. 
Early Sweet Fodder Corn 
This is a mixture of early varieties of Sweet Corn which 
will make fodder very early. Ready at a time when pas¬ 
ture is short and needs supplementing. Stalks grow about 
6% feet tall with lots of ears. 
Evergreen Sweet Fodder Corn 
Evergreen Corn is well known nearly everywhere, but 
the seed is rather expensive for fodder. This seed is not 
quite good enough for the best grade of Sweet Corn seed 
but is splendid for fodder and priced accordingly. Pro¬ 
duces stalks 6 to 7 feet tall, and large, very sweet ears.

Isbell’s Sure 
Thing Dent 
Isbell's Sure Thing Purple Tip Dent 
A Distinct Early Variety Especially Suited to Light Soils 
Isbell’s Sure Thing Purple Tip Dent derives its name from the 
purple coloring on the tips of the ears and from its earli¬ 
ness and sure earing habits. This variety is entirely free 
from barren stalks, many producing two good ears. Stalks 
are 6 to 8 feet high and stand up well. Ears are long, 
slender, and have very small cobs. The kernels are cream 
colored with white caps except at the tip end where they 
are bright reddish purple. 
Ears average 9 inches long but are often much longer. 
This Corn will ear up better on poor, sandy soils than any 
other variety. Its earliness makes it a fine variety 
for hogging down and for early ensilage as well as 
fodder. 
As a thoroughly dependable, 
early and sure maturing sort for 
light soils, Sure Thing Purple 
Tip Dent is un¬ 
equaled. 
Giant Growing Sorts That Produce Extra Tonnage 
LANCASTER SURECROP ENSILAGE. —For the nor¬ 
thern states particularly this is an excellent sort. It pro¬ 
duces tremendously large yields of grain and silage 
BEFORE FROST. Ears run to a foot in length, with 
light golden dent grain on red cob. Stalks 8 to 12 feet 
in height, and very leafy. Matures in 100 to 105 days.

than any other variety we list. Large ears having broad, 
white kernels. 
IMPROVED BEAMING ENSILAGE. —Is a large, yellow 
Dent sort which matures in 110 to 120 days, making it 
very desirable for ensilage where nearly matured Corn is 
desired. , ..

with red cobs. A wonderful variety for fodder and en¬ 
silage. Has produced 45 tons of ensilage per acre m 
Michigan. , _ , 
IMPROVED RED COB. —Is a little better grade of seed 
than the preceding as it is seed from ears which have 
been tinned and butted and graded somewhat closer.
