Western Seed Corn 
Colorado No. 13 is the name given to a high yielding 
yellow dent corn which originated from strains of Min¬ 
nesota 13. This corn is well adapted to regions of the 
state at elevations between 4,800 and 6,000 feet. It is 
the product of many years of careful selection. Reg¬ 
istered seed will be available from different growers. 
Minnesota No. 13 corn is a well known 
yellow dent corn well adapted to eleva¬ 
tions between 5,000 and 6,000 feet. This 
variety of corn will be available in both 
registered and non-registered stocks. 
The registered seed stock has undergone 
years of careful selection. Minnesota 
13 matures in 90 to 100 days. The ears 
set about 4 feet from the ground and 
average 7 to 10 inches long. The ker¬ 
nels are wedge shaped and of a bright, 
rich yellow color. 
Reid's Yellow Dent is a selected strain of 
the well known Reid’s Corn. This va¬ 
riety is standard for southeastern Colo¬ 
rado, the Arkansas and Grand Valleys. 
We offer registered seed. 
Colorado Yellow Dent is by no means a 
fixed type of corn. Sometimes the 
grains resemble Minnesota 13 and some¬ 
times are more like Pride of the North, 
or whiter, resembling Swadley. This 
corn variety, however, is thoroughly ac¬ 
climated, matures early, yields well, and 
withstands drought very satisfactorily. 
Logan County White Corn is a high yield- 
er the same as White Dent Corn. Is 
well adapted to northern and eastern 
Colorado. We offer registered seed only. 
White Australian is a hard flint corn well 
adapted for cool climates, short seasons 
and dry lands. Ears are of medium 
size; kernels are white, smooth, shallow, 
rounded, and flinty. 
Northwestern Red Dent is a short season 
corn maturing in 90 to 95 days, making 
it desirable for sections where the time 
between late and early frosts is short. 
It is dented and the corn would be sat¬ 
isfactory for grain feeding. Stalks 
grow 5 to 7 fet high and are very thin 
and leafy. 
Swadley is an early dent corn maturing 
in 90 days. It can stand heat and 
drought. Is quite a sure cropper and is 
a favorite, next to White Australian, 
for planting under adverse conditions. 
The kernels are large, broad, and thin; 
are light yellow merging into white on 
the cap. It is distinctly a Colorado 
product. 
Gehu Flint is a yellow dwarf, flint corn 
growing 4 to 6 feet high. It matures in 
80 to 90 days. It is not a husking corn 
as the ears set close to the ground, but 
this makes it very desirable for early 
hogging down. It is the earliest yellow 
corn and its particular use is for short 
seasons and dry land planting. 
Squaw Corn is a mixture of various sorts 
once grown by North Dakota Indians. 
It is often called Blue Squaw. It is 
early, maturing in 90 days. The ears 
are small; kernels are shallow, rounded, 
smooth, and flinty; yields well. It is 
selected for sections where the growing 
season is short where grain is required. 
Calico is a medium early, mixed dent corn maturing in 
100 days. Kernels are variegated, being speckled or 
mottled red, white, and yellow. The stalks are leafy; 
the ears are carried high. Calico corn has a high protein 
content making it a very efficient feed. 
Hartner's Rainbow Flint is an early maturing corn for dry 
lands and short seasons. It is a flint, 
resembling White Australian in habit 
and size of kernels. The grains are 
variegated and highly colored. It is 
adapted for short seasons, dry lands, 
big yields. 
Iowa Silver Mine is a white dent corn 
maturing in 100 to 110 days. Is often 
referred to as “The National Corn.” 
The cob is small and white. The kernels 
are deep, white, and rather smooth, 
dented but not hackle crowned. It has 
a deep root system which enables it to 
withstand drought and adverse condi¬ 
tions exceedingly well. We expect to be 
able to offer registered and non-regis¬ 
tered seed. 
Iowa Gold Mine is a yellow dent ensilage 
corn maturing in 110 days. Resembles 
Improved Learning very much. 
Improved Learning is a yellow dent corn 
and a general favorite with stockmen 
and dairymen for ensilage purposes. 
Matures in 100 to 110 days. The large, 
leafy stalks make an immense tonnage 
of fodder or silage. Ears are large. 
Averages 20 to 24 rows of grain. Grains 
are deep-wedge shaped, closely set and 
have a rich, yellow color. 
Red Cob Ensilage is a pure white dent 
corn with a red cob. It matures in 110 
to 115 days. Ears are large and the 
stalks grow 10 to 14 feet high with 
many broad, succulent leaves, produc¬ 
ing an immense tonnage of excellent 
quality silage. Red Cob Ensilage is well 
adapted for silage purposes.

ing large yellow kernels having a color 
of buttered corn. Is very crisp and 
leaves no hard core.

mon varieties of flint corns. It is quite 
a favorite for popping.

Baby or Hulless, Japanese Rice, Jap¬ 
anese Hulless. It is a dwarf growing, 
heavy yielding variety, and makes the 
choicest pop corn due to its fine flavor
