Silver King or 
Wisconsin No. 7 
By Fur the Best AVhite Dent for 
Wisconsin, iVorthern lilinois and lo>va. 
Silver Kins is not only the best white 
variety but one of the best and heaviest 
yieiders of ali 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 Oliicial 
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 kernel. . 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. 
Since that time it has been improved by ear-to-row breeding and adapted 
to Wisconsin climatic conditions. This variety breeds true to type and is 
one of the best yieiders. Reports from Experiment Association members show 
a six year average yield of 62.1 bushels per acre, an increase of 18.9 bushels 
abo ve the state average.'* _ 
1562 Murdock Yellow Dent (Wisconsin No. 13) 
Sweepstakes Corn of the Northern Zone 
e Northern Zone, comprisi _ 
National 
*ueol^xier of 
Jefferson County, Wisconsin, was the exhibitor of this corn. He ’took rnore^than*¥5 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. 
For many years I have worked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting 
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saj'ing it leads all others in growth of fodder-producing 
stalks 18 to 22 feet high. The leaves are broad and long, they start forming at lower end of 
stalk and continue to the very top. It has strong root ,system thereby not affected by wind 
or draught. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not recommend it to 
ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one acre will produce 
more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn. If you desire hard ripe corn in 
your silo, plant one row of Goliath and one of native corn. That way you get max¬ 
imum yield, maximum feeding value from minimum acreage. Plant a few 
Soy Beans in each hill—Makes a wonderful combination feed.

Improved 
Leaiming 
The Learning is the 
oldest distinct variety of 
corn, having been originated 
in 1826. It is a standard yellow 
corn, well adapted to northern and 
central Illinois and the most of Iowa, 
and similar latitudes. In fact, it is grown with success in south¬ 
ern Wisconsin and is in great demand in the north for silage. 
Not quite as large and not quite as late as Reid’s Y'ellow Dent. 
1564 Reid’s Yellow Dent 
Leading standard yellow variety originated by Mr. Jame.s L. 
Reid of Illinois many years ago, who fixed a type that experts 
have failed to change for the better. In my opinion the mo.st 
popular sort of yellow corn grown in the United States. I 
offer pure type of this leading standard variety, which'is among 
the best all around purpose Yellow Dent Corn grown. Descrip¬ 
tion—Color deep yellow, with lighter cap. Grain very deep, 
closely packed; butt and tips almost entirely covered over. 
Slightly rough, with grains dented on top. Loaves and stalks 
of Reid’s Yellow Dent make the finest ensilage and fodder. 
Matures in 110 days. Adapted—Reid’s Yellow Dent is adapted 
to central and southern portions of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, 
Eastern Kansas and Oklahoma, Southeastern Nebraska, Missouri, 
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, 
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. 
Extra Early Flint Corn 
READY FOR HOGS IN 80 DAYS 
1560 King Philip Flint 
Thi.s extra early red flint corn i.s eight- 
rowed and one of the most reliable and pro¬ 
ductive varieties for the Northwest. The 
e.-trs grow 12 inches long with eight straight 
rows of broad kernels of shiny red color. 
Stalks i)rodiice two and sometimes three 
good large ears. Not nearly as hard as or¬ 
dinary Flint Corn. The stalks grow about 7 
feet in height and are very leafy, therefore 
more valuable for fodder than Dent Corn. 
Mat\ire..< ill so days. _ 
1561 Longfellow Flint 
A yellow flint corn of rich and glossy ap¬ 
pearance. The ears are 12 to 16 inches long, 
tilled with large, broad kernels. It is not 
unusual to And three full-sized ears grow¬ 
ing on one stalk and fields that yield 60 
bushels per acre. It is a lieav.v producer of 
fodder as well as of ears. The average 
height Is 714 feet, while the ears are set 
about 3 feet from the ground. Matures in 
v.'i days. 
1557 Yellow Yankee Flint 
Particularly adapted to the Northern IMlddlc 
Sttitcs. One of the earliest and best known 
yellow flint varieties. The cars are well filled 
to the tips with good, rich, golden-yellow ker¬ 
nels. The stalks grow five feet high and often 
produce two and three ears each. Will pro¬ 
duce a good crop if planted as late as July. 
1565 Sanford’s White Flint 
This is one of the standard varieties of flint 
corn and very popular. The ears are of un- 
u.sual length, twelve to fifteen inches, smooth 
and .symmetrical shape, of a flinty white color. 
Stalks grow very tall, usually have two to 
three ears, and it is a splendid variety for 
fodder. 
1555 Golden Glow or Wisconsin No. 12 
90 to 95 days. The outstanding: com for Wisconsin! Golden Glow is grown more largely in Wisconsin than any 
other variety and it is estimated that half of the 8ta,te'8 corn acreage is to Golden Glow. It is ideally adapted to all 
sections of the state, planting it as far north as North Central Wisconsin, and as it is early, it is a safe com in 
an unfavorable season. 
Golden Glow or Wisconsin No. 13 was developed at the Wisconsin Experimental Station. It is a beautiful, pure 
golden yellow corn, ears 8 to 9 Vi inches long, 16 to 18 rowed, of symmetrical shape, well filled from butt to tip, 
w'ith good sized kernels which are slightly rough on the outer end and entirely free from any tendency to flintiness. 
The stalks are about 7 feet iiigh and very leafy, making it a splendid fodder and silage com. Golden Glow is a splen¬ 
did variety for both light and heavy soils, and is the best yellow dent corn for Wisconsin, up to the North Central 
Part, and for other states of equal latitude, Michigan. Minnesota, North and South Dakota. 
1558 Iowa Gold Mine 
Not a large corn, but the best thing I know of for medium early. 
I offer the pure strain Gold Mine, and recommend it. Description 
,—With the expert corn farmer Gold Mine is known as medium early, 
between the 110 day and the extra early sorts that mature in eighty- 
five days. It is, however, a great producer and sure cropper. Ears 
are medium, symmetrical. Color bright golden yellow. The grain 
is deep and the cob is small. For this reason it dries out quickly, 
producing sixty-two to sixty-three pounds of shelled corn to seventy 
pounds of ears. Stalks make excellent silage or fodder. Adapted — 
Iowa Gold Mine will grow in nearly every state in the Union, and is 
especially recommended for the Western corn belt. All throughout 
the Eastern States, where the climate does not demand an extra 
early variety, it is very popular. Has been tried all over the South 
with nothing but the best results. 
1559 Iowa Silver Mine 
standard large yielding, drouth resisting white variety with same 
characteristics as Iowa Gold Mine. Adapted anywhere south of 
Rockford. ;
