I mproved Strain s of the Best Varieties Make You Money 
ilVil 
Early Maturing 
Golden Glow is a fa¬ 
vorite with northern 
com growers. It grows a 
taller stalk than the av¬ 
erage early kind and ma¬ 
tures a beautiful shaped 
ear 7 to 9 inches long. The 
Kernels are .golden yellow 
medium long. This variety 
is used for husking in 
southern parts of Minne¬ 
sota. Wisconsin, Michigan, 
northern Illinois. We rec¬ 
ommend this variety as one 
of the best producers of the 
earlier types. It yields more 
bushels of good sound corn 
per acre. We have some ex- 
tra good Golden Glow Seed 
Corn and will 
ship you highly 
satisfactory 
stock. 
This early corn was developed 
from the genuine early strain 
of Reid’s Dent. Using' that as a 
base and by field selection there 
has been secured a 100 day corn 
that is a very profitable pro¬ 
ducer. The ears are not quite so 
large as the Reid’s, but it pro¬ 
duces lots of them. Our trade 
on it is growing steadily. 
Description 
This is a smooth true dent. 
The grain is somewhat harder 
than the parent strain. Stalk is 
thick and short. Cob quite 
small. Ears uniform as to 
length on stalk and size. 
We have some very 
fine seed in this va¬ 
riety. See page 
32. 
RED WHITE CAP DENT 
ini« in mu kiiuun m 
Sometimes sold as Northwestern Dent. A tine 
variety for early feeding corn. One of the best 
varieties for late replanting. An excellent 
yielder. Include a few acres of this variety in 
your crop schedule this year. 
Description—The color is cherry red and the 
top of grain is a white or light yellow cap. 
Ears are 8 to 9 inches long and usually have 
14 rows of kernels. Will 
make a crop as far 
north as south 
central Wis¬ 
consin.

We are sure that this is the best known 
variety of corn in the United States. It 
has won all manner of prizes at leading 
corn shows. Like many of the older va¬ 
rieties, many strains have been devel¬ 
oped. Everything that goes by the name 
of Reid’s Yellow Dent is by no means all 
the same kind of corn. 
Improved Reid’s Dent 
The strain of Reid’s Dent that we have 
has been bred up for big yields of high 
quality corn. It’s not show corn we care 
about but more bushels of sound corn 
per a>cre. 
It is somewhat rougher than the aver¬ 
age Reids and one which we believe will 
dry out quicker than the old smooth type. 
It is a better feeding corn as the kernels 
are not so flinty. The ears are 9 to ll 
inches long. Cylindrical in shape, well 
filled butts and tips and straight rows.- 
Deep kernels. Light yellow color. Ma¬ 
tures in around 110 days. 
BEST 
SILVER NINE 
They used to call this corn the re¬ 
liable mortgage lifter. It has long 
been regarded as the corn that 
would meet any conditions of soil, 
rainfall, temperature and tillage. 
The deep root system of Silver Mine 
makes it an excellent drought re¬ 
sister. Its ability to mature is 100 
to 110 days and insures producing 
sound corn even during trying years. 
It is a white corn. The ears are long 
and well shaped. Has medium small 
c?b. Seed comes from a heavy corn 
producing district. It is well graded. 
See page 32.

cob and chalky 
white kernels. Used 
principally" for an 
ensilage corn. It is

times grow to a

feet. Very late ma¬ 
turing variety. Our

to growing in the northern 
sections. Matures in 90 to 
100 days, depending on
