Golden Jewel—Best for Southern Minnesota. 
GOLDEN JEWEL, Registered 
Golden Jewel was introduced by us and there is no 
variety grown in southern Minnesota that surpasses it 
for yields of high quality corn and fodder. This variety 
is on the recommended list ot the Minnesota Experiment 
Station. Tbe ears are of a golden yellow color, very 
compact, 8-10 in. in length, 16-20 rows of medium deep, 
square shouldered kernels on a small red cob, and run 
from a moderately smooth to a slightly rough ear. It 
grows 8-10 ft. tall. 
It is especially adapted to southern Minnesota, South 
Dakota, Iowa, southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois 
and other Corn Belt states. 
GOLDEN KING, Registered 
A Medium Early High Yielding Variety 
Golden King has been grown in central and southern 
Minnesota and northern Iowa for many years and is 
highly productive, having won in a number of yield 
tests. This corn grows 8 ft. tall. The ears are of rich 
golden color, medium deep kernels, 14-16 rows, 8-9 in. 
in length. It is recommended by the Minnesota Ex¬ 
periment Station for central and southern Minnesota 
and is also highly recommended for northern Iowa. 
It ripens earlier than Golden Jewel and can be depend¬ 
ed upon to produce a crop of ripe corn in practically 
any season. Golden King shows a much smaller per¬ 
centage of barren stalks than any of the open pollinated 
varieties. 
We do not hesitate to recommend it for central and 
southern Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and 
other localities where a 100 to 105 day corn variety 
can be grown to advantage. 
LARGE TYPE OR SOUTHERN STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, Registered 
This strain has been especially selected for southern 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, northern Iowa, 
and similar localities. The ears are smooth, deep yellow 
in color, 7 to 9 inches in length, 14 to 16 rows of 
medium deep kernels. Stalks grow 7 to 9 feet tall 
and it matures in 100 to 105 days. It will produce 
large yields on good corn land. 
CENTRAL STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, Registered 
This was the original strain of Minnesota No. 13 
and is especially adapted to central Minnesota, Wis¬ 
consin, and northern South Dakota, maturing about a 
week earlier than the Large Type Minnesota No. 13 or 
in 95 to 100 days. It is the best known open pollinated 
variety in central Minnesota. 
EXTRA EARLY HANEY'S STRAIN 
MINNESOTA NO. 13, Registered 
This strain is particularly adapted for northern Min¬ 
nesota and Wisconsin and North Dakota and is the 
earliest open pollinated yellow dent corn now being 
grown. Stalks grow 5 to 7 feet tall and will mature 
very readily in the northern areas under normal con¬ 
ditions and'is very good for hogging off or early feeding 
in other sections of the Corn Belt. It matures in 85 
to 90 days. 
Don’t Plant Seed Corn Of Unknown Origin 
CAREFULLY BRED SEED CORN BRINGS INCREASED PROFITS 
Growing conditions in 1937 were 
very unfavorable in many sections of 
the corn belt, causing a reduction in 
yield and a poorer quality than usual. 
Nondescript varieties which had no 
definite origin but which were planted 
because the seed was cheap did not 
produce enough to pay for the land and 
labor involved. 
On the other hand, farmers who grew 
varieties with known producing ability 
had enough crop to cover their costs 
and show a good profit. To get a good 
production under adverse as well as 
normal conditions, corn must have good 
breeding as well as good germination. 
Corn of unknown origin cannot be de¬ 
pended upon to produce a good crop. 
Through many years of careful breed¬ 
ing and selection, we have improved 
the recommended varieties of open polli¬ 
nated corn so that we offer you only 
the finest of seed stocks which have been 
carefully inspected, registered and state 
sealed by the Minnesota Crop Improve¬ 
ment Association. 
When you buy our seed, you can 
depend upon it giving the best results 
and being of the proper maturity. Look 
for the Blue Tag and Seal of the Minne¬ 
sota Crop Improvement Association 
which is your assurance that you are 
getting the genuine variety. 
Seed corn prices are low. Renew 
your foundation stocks now. 
MINNESOTA IDEAL, Registered 
This splendid large eared yellow dent corn, which 
we introduced, is very productive. It is a standard 
corn variety for southern Minnesota and other states 
of the Coni Belt. Minnesota Ideal matures a few days 
later than Minnesota No. 13. Under good growing 
conditions the yields are very high. Minnesota Ideal 
has a strong, vigorous root system and stiff stalks 
which enable it to stand up well. It is also an out¬ 
standing silage and fodder corn, producing more tons 
per acre than other varieties. 
RUSTLER WHITE DENT, Registered 
This is the best main white variety now bemg 
grown in central and southern Minnesota, South Da¬ 
kota and parts of Wisconsin. It produces larger yields 
than some of the yellow varieties of the same maturity. 
The average height of the stalk is 8 ft., and the ears 
have 14-16 rows of kernels. 
NORTHWESTERN DENT, Registered 
Northwestern Dent Corn is a cross between a red 
flint and a yellow dent, and has red kernels with light 
yellowish and cream. shadings. No other variety is 
grown as extensively in North Dakota, northern Min¬ 
nesota and Wisconsin as Northwestern Dent. Under 
ordinary conditions it matures in 80 to 85 days. 
Northwestern Dent will produce high yields per acre 
for early corn. The ears are of good size, 7 to 9 inches 
long, having 10 to 14 rows of kernels. The stalks are 
5 to 7 feet in height. This variety is excellent tor 
hogging down.

EARLY MURDOCK, Registered 
Murdock is a yellow dent variety quite similar to 
Golden Jewel in appearance except that it has fewer 
rows. The kernels are medium deep with a wrinkled 
dent. Our strain is 5 to 10 days earlier than Golden 
Jewel and produces high yields of very fine quality. 
The ears are 8 to 914 inches long, of golden color, 
compact and uniform. It is primarily adapted to south¬ 
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, also northern 
Iowa and Illinois. It may be grown in some parts of 
central Minnesota and south central Wisconsin. _ It 
matures in about 100 days from the time of planting. 
The yields of Murdock are only slightly less than those 
of Golden Jewel.

I purchased Thatcher Wheat from you last year. 
It yielded 21 bushels per acre. 63 pounds per bushel 
of wheat, and other wheat here went from 2 to “ 
bushels per acre. This wheat was seeded two weeks 
later than it should have been seeded and still made 
a dandy crop* The straw was 45^ feet tall, no rust, 
no smut, and it did not lodge. We only had one ram 
here last summer and uith a good rainfall, this wheat 
would haz'e made SO bushels per acre. Am sending 
you a sample of this wheat. _
