FODDER CORN VARIETIES 
Ideal Silo Corn 
Registered and State Sealed 
An Origination of the Farmer Seed & Nursery Co. 
Greatest tonnage per acre. 
Ideal Silo Corn is the greatest yielder of corn 
for fodder purposes—for feeding green, for 
ensilage, and for curing in the bundle. 
It is a strong, vigorous corn with stalks grow¬ 
ing 8 to 10 feet high and broad leaves that 
make succulent fodder. It is not coarse like 
southern fodder corn and does not grow all to 
leaves and water; but instead has large ears 
10 to 15 inches long, with medium deep yellow 
kernels, which become well dented, while most 
southern grown varieties seldom, if ever, even 
set an ear. 
Because of its deep, vigorous root system, it 
adapts itself readily to unfavorable soil and 
climatic conditions, withstanding drought, wind 
and cold, wet weather equally well. During the 
seasons of 193 6 and 1937, many reports came 
to us stating that if it had not been for Ideal 
Silo Corn, there would have been no feed pro¬ 
duced on these farms with which to feed the 
livestock during the fall and winter. 
In normal growing seasons, as well as in 
drought years. Ideal Silo Corn will produce twice 
as much tonnage per acre as open pollinated 
varieties of the same maturity. It matures in 
110 days, or about the same time as Golden 
Jewel. 
Silos Filled with Half the Acreage of Ideal 
Our customers, many of whom tried other 
varieties, will now plant only Ideal. Pour acres 
of Ideal have filled silos 12x30 and five acres, 
silos 12x35. With ordinary corn 10 to 12 acres 
are required for the same size silos. 
The Demand Always Exceeds Seed Supply 
We plant large acreages to Ideal Silo Corn 
every year, but never have enough to supply all 
the demand. We have a fairly good supply this 
year, but with the prices so low for this well 
selected, kiln dried, high germinating corn, we 
again will be sold out quickly. 
So many customers were unable to get this 
corn because they waited until the last minute, 
that we earnestly urge you to order early. It is 
not necessary to pay the entire amount now—a 
down payment of 25% will hold this corn until 
April 1 at which time the balance is due.

HYBRID CORN FOR SURGE 
Because of the outstanding characteristics, hybrids are 
well adapted for silage. Many customers have asked that 
we offer hybrid corn for silage because of its superiority 
to other kinds. 
These qualities which make hybrid suitable for silage 
are— 
1. Produces an increased tonnage of 25%; more than 
enough to pay the extra seed costs. 
2. Does not lodge and is easily cut with a binder. 
3. Grows to a uniform height. 
4. Stalks and leaves stay green longer. 
5. Resists cold, drought and heat. 
6. Produces well-developed, uniform-sized ears. 
We have a limited amount of large type hybrid corn 
in this special lot taken from our regular registered stock. 
There will be no more available when this is gone.

EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN 
A very vigorous grower, this variety will produce stalks 
9 to 10 feet high. It increases the production of dairy 
cows. Other livestock thrive on it and make rapid gains. 
The stalks are sweet, tender, juicy and nutritious with 
large broad leaves produced in great abundance. The ears 
are large, having 16 to 20 rows of kernels and are white 
in color. There are 48 lbs. per bushel of Sweet Fodder 
Corn. Plant 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Prices below. 
YELLOW DENT FODDER CORN 
Standard varieties that have given our customers very 
good satisfaction for many years. They are heavy yielders 
of fodder and may be used for feeding green from the 
field, as well as for silo filling and for curing in shocks 
to be fed later in the bundle. 
Early type—Stalks large, ears medium, matjires in 95 
to 100 days.

110 days. Prices below.

Dec. 13, 1937 
In the spring of 1937 we planted on our farm 2 Ihs. of 
\2Q-day Wisconsin Hybrid Seed Corn as a test, from 
the Farmer Seed and Nursery Co., at Faribault, Minnesota. 
This seed produced the finest fodder and corn that we 
have ever grown on our^ farm. As a result, we are going 
to plant 20 acres of this corn for our silos and I firmly 
believe it to be outstanding as a silage crop for southern 
Minnesota.
