TEST ALL SEED CORN WHEREVER OBTAINED 
THE TRUTH ABOUT SEED CORN 
ACTUAL/ SCIENTIFICALLY ESTABLISHED 
FACTS 
Seed Corn taken from a less favorable to 
a more favorable climate will yield well and 
do well. 
Seed Corn taken from a more favorable 
climate to a less favorable one will produce 
poorly and grow poorly. 
There is no corn as well adapted to the 
particular growing conditions of the North¬ 
west as our North Dakota Missouri Valley 
grown seed. 
Corn from the south and east can not under 
any conditions be as satisfactory as the home 
seed or that from a drier locality. The only 
excuse for buying such corn is to save money, 
and that is very poor economy on the very 
few occasions when our corn is not the cheap¬ 
est. 
Good Corn from our Missouri Valley will 
produce a larger crop of matured coin year 
after year than will seed corn from any other 
source. 
Seed Corn has been produced in the Mis¬ 
souri Valley by our firm for 50 years and we 
have developed and introduced a large part 
of the list of best varieties for the Northwest. 
Use your intelligence in considering the 
various specious claims as to various lots of 
seed corn and you will buy only safely proven 
varieties from proven sources. 
We have a fair supply of North Dakota 
Grown Seed Corn. We are not shipping in 
seed corn from the east or south. 
SEED CORN IS OUR SPECIALTY 
Our stock is all grown for ns on contract from seed of our own selection. We hand sort all Seed Corn 
and store in good dry buildings after sorting, shelling, testing and making sure that the moisture is 
below 14% by drying when necessary. 
FALCONER SEMI-DENT 
Hardiest—Heaviest Yielder—Most Popular 
Falconer Corn has now definitely come to be the principal variety of Corn over the 
whole Northwest, and its popularity continues to grow in ever-widening circles. Our 
continued careful selection of seed each year demonstrates its value, and there can be 
no quarrel with the statement that Falconer is the ideal type of Corn for drought, hail 
and cold resistance. 
It has been growing in its first form for more than 50 years in Burleigh County, being 
a cross between the early native Indian flint and some yellow dent brought in by one of 
our pioneer settlers. Mr. Angus Falconer began many years ago to select it for uniform¬ 
ity of appearance, and our first stock came from him and was therefore named for him. 
It is consistently over our section the best yielder year in and year out of any sort, and 
while it is by no means as handsome as the pure dents it is very much more productive 
on the average. It is of a slightly uneven yellow color, ears are high enough to be easily 
cut with a corn binder, stalks are leafy and produce a high tonnage of edible feed. Cobs 
are white, ears 12- to 14-rowed and from 8 to 10 inches long. Lb., 30c, postpaid.
