720 Condon’s Golden Harvest 
An Ideal Variety for Northern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa 
A splendid corn to sell in market on the ear. Will produce 
a satisfactory crop with less favorable conditions than those 
required by Reid’s Dent. In numerous tests on both good and 
poor soil we have found that it responds to good soil and culti¬ 
vation with an immense yield; it will also produce more corn 
with ordinary treatment than any other large-eared variety. 
The plant is ideal, the stalk being about eight feet high with 
abundant broad leaves, and it is so well rooted that it with¬ 
stands wind storms extra well. It is comparatively free from 
barren stalks. Ears are borne uniformly at about four feet 
Seed Corn is the most important item 
of all farm crops and the least expen¬ 
sive. You should be absolutely certain of 
dependable seed long before you are 
ready to plant it. Order your supply 
early—test it. yourself and know its vi¬ 
tality before it is too late. 
Seed Corn is a crop that must be ac¬ 
climated to the iocality where you plant 
it. You can’t expect corn grown in 
Southern latitudes to mature north. 
Northern grown corn, however, will pro¬ 
duce larger and better crops south than 
some native varieties. 
We specialize on Northern Grown Pure 
Bred Seed for our Northern customers 
and Southern or Central grown seed for 
our Southern trade. 
GUARANTEE: We grant you 10 days 
after arrival of your seed corn, to crit¬ 
ically test and examine it. If not up to 
your liking, ship it back at our expense 
and you will get your money refunded 
by return mail.

from the ground, high enough to get at the sun and air, low enough to be protected 
from wind storms and just right for husking. The shank is long, allowing the ear to 
droop when maturing, thus shedding the rain instead of holding it in the husk, and, 
being small, it is very easy to break in husking, yet we seldom find an ear whipped 
off by the wind. The ears are large, 10 to 12 inches long, nearly cylindrical, hold¬ 
ing their size well to the end, are well rounded or capped over at both ends and 
have that well groomed appearance of thoroughbred corn. 
719 Condon’s Golden Glow 
The Best Yellow Corn for Wisconsin and all localities 
north of Rockford, Ill. 
Golden Glow is the most popular variety of Wisconsin 
corn. It is grown more largely than any other variety, 
and in fact it is estimated that half of all the corn grown 
in the state now is Golden Glow. It certainly is well 
adapted to all sections of the state as far north as north- 
central Wisconsin. It is a little earlier than either Mur¬ 
dock or Silver King, hence safer in an unfavorable season. 
Description. Golden Glow is a pure golden yellow corn, 
ears fairly large, the standard official length being 8 % to 
9 1 /! inches. It is strictly a Wisconsin corn developed at 
the Wisconsin Experiment Station.

714 Murdock Yellow Dent (Wisconsin No. 13) 
717 Silver King 
(Wisconsin No. 7) 
Sweepstakes Corn of the Northern Zone 
Murdock Yellow Dent was awarded sweepstakes for the Northern Zone, comprising- the states 
of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota at the National Corn 
Expositions of 1909 and 1910, and this in competition with corn of all varieties. Mr. H. C. 
Brueckner of Jefferson County, Wisconsin, was the exhibitor of this corn. He took more than 
35 premiums on it in 12 years. 
Murdock Yellow Dent is of a deep yellow color, ears 8% to 9% inches in length, hard and 
solid, just slightly rough and very uniform in type. It makes a large heavy growth of stalk 
and leaf and so is a good silage variety. Murdock is not a whole lot different from Golden 
Glow but it grows a trifle larger both in stalk and ear and yields a trifle more. 
717 Silver King (Wisconsin No. 7) 
By Far the Best White Dent for Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Iowa 
Silver King is not only the best white variety but one of the best and heaviest yield- 
ers of all varieties of corn for the Northern states. It came from northern Iowa to 
Wisconsin in 1904. Now it is well known and a standard sort. It is a big yielder. 
The Official Description from Wisconsin College of Agriculture Corn Bulletin No. 170, 
is as follows: 
“This variety is a uniform creamy white in color and has a slight roughness of ker¬ 
nel. The cob is glistening white. The length of ears varies from 7 to 10 inches. The 
standard length is from 8% to 9% inches. 
“The foundation stock of Silver King was secured from John Banks, Algona, Iowa, 
by the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1904. Reports from Experiment Associa¬ 
tion members show a six year average yield (1918-1923) of 62.1 bushels per acre, an 
increase of 18.9 bushels above the state average.”
