4X Fodder Corn 
Southern Grown, Tall, Leafy 
The 4X is, we consider, the very best pro¬ 
curable fodder Corn for Northwestern condi¬ 
tions. We get this grown just far enough 
south so that the maximum quantity of fodder 
is produced an'd at the same time the stalks 
come near enough to maturity so that they 
are not all water. The best time to cut Corn 
for fodder is when the kernels are just past 
the roasting ear stage. Sow or drill ten 
pounds to one-half bushel per acre, if planted 
in rows 3 to 4 feet apart; if broadcast, use about 2 y 2 bushels. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 60c; 
y% bu., $1.25; 1 bu. or more @ $2.00. 
Acme Fodder Corn—A Cross 
The Best Silage Corn for the Northwest 
Acme fodder is a natural cross and 
as such possesses real hybrid vigor; it 
is a mixture of off type dent corn or of 
the local mixed strains or other early 
dents of which we may have an extra 
amount. Being a hybrid mixture it is 
ranker and more luxuriant in growth 
and a heavier producer. For this rea¬ 
son it is especially valuable for silage. 
It is easily handled with a binder and 
gives just about the right degree of 
maturity early enough for silo filling.

Acme Fodder Corn 
SWEET FODDER CORN—'Wonderful Feed for Milch Cows 
Sweet Fodder is coming to occupy a place of 
very high esteem as a feed for milch cows. 
Owing to the f$ct that its sugar content is so 
high it is a more concentrated feed than the 
ordinary Corn. It is likewise a heavy yielder as 
it is so bushy, and there are no heavy, coarse 
stalks which are usually waste. Prices are very 
reasonable this year. Lb., 30c, postpaid. F. O. B. 
Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs. @ 14c; 50 lbs. 
or more @ 12c per lb. 
Interesting and Unusual Corn Varieties for Trial 
We know that many of our customers are interested in experimental 
work with Corn and in the observation of novel and little known sorts. 
We have therefore listed here a few of the many unusual types that we 
are constantly growing and observing, and we hope to present others 
each year. - 
Price, lb., postpaid, 40c; F. O. B. Bismarck, 5 lbs., 75c. 
ZUNI-PERUVIAN RED HYBRID. This is an interesting Corn, particu¬ 
larly on account of the very dark reddish purple color which in many 
of the plants dominates ear, cob, stalk and leaves. It has possibilities 
as an ornamental. 
MANDAN BLACK or PURPLE. One of the most interesting of the flour 
corn types from the Ft. Berthold Indians. The darkest color in corn. 
MANDAN CLAY RED. Another of the several Mandan varieties of flour 
corn, being distinct only as to color, which is most unusual. 
ZUNI BLUE. Another of the peculiar varieties from the Pueblo peoples 
of the Southwest desert country. The most drought resistant varieties 
known. Of the small kernel flour corn type. 
A very large varicolored flint from the Chippewa Indians of northern 
Sweet Fodder 
BEAR ISLAND SQUAW. 
Minnesota, very cold resistant. 
NAVAJO SACRED or CUDEI. A very interestingly colored corn from the Southwest with very 
great drouth resistance—a flour corn. One of the oddest in appearance that* we have seen. 
NORTHERN RUSSIAN EXTRA EARLY. This is corn raised by us during the past year from 
samples of unusually early sorts sent us by Russian experiment stations. 
SANTEE MIXED. This is a late corn, very tall and with perfectly tremendous sized ears. Prob¬ 
ably the source type for Rainbow. 
WILD GOOSE. A large mixed flint from Michigan, said to come frorq corn found in the crop of a 
wild goose. Usually shows quite a number of pod corn ears.
