KNOX'S SELECTED FIELD CORN 
EARLY MATURING—HEAVY YIELDING 
Proper selection of Seed Corn is a matter of working year 
after year, planting good seed in the beginning, watching the 
particular stalks which grow best and which set enough ears 
the proper distances from the ground, and then cutting the 
tassels from all other stalks in the field. The seed ears must 
be selected on the stalk, and ripened and dried under correct 
conditions. The grains must be shelled and stored and graded 
so they will be even in size, and their vitality maintained un¬ 
impaired. Finally, the seed must be tested for germination. 
We have picked growers who give their corn crops the atten¬ 
tion necessary to produce first-class seed. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE 
Eureka Ensilage corn is without a doubt the heaviest yield¬ 
ing ensilage corn adapted to California climatic conditions. It 
grows to an average height of 14 feet, has very leafy stalks 
bearing one to three ears to the stalk, and has established a 
record of an average production of 30 to 35 tons per acre. 
This when cut and put in the silo furnishes a feed that is very 
succulent and of the highest feeding value, and is relished by 
all kinds of stock. 
Our seed stock of Eureka Ensilage Corn for this season is 
of exceptionally fine quality and selected for size uniformity 
for both ear and kernel. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. Write for quan¬ 
tity prices. 
ORANGE COUNTY PROLIFIC 
Orange County Prolific is a California product of the white 
dent variety. It is also an exceptionally heavy yielder and 
highly recommended for ensilage purposes. We consider it 
next on the list following Eureka Ensilage Corn. What we 
have said regarding the selection of our seed stock for Eureka 
Corn also applies to this variety. Price per lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.

MEXICAN JUNE CORN—WHITE 
Or Pride of Modesto 
Very early and hardy, stalks growing to an average height 
of 7 or 8 feet and producing 30 to 60 bushels of corn per acre. 
This corn is also used for roasting purposes in many sections 
of California. 1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
KING PHILIP—YELLOW 
This is a hard yellow flint corn and is generally referred to 
as 90-day corn. It is drought-resisting and will give a fair 
yield where most corns are a failure. Plant 8 to 10 pounds per 
acre in hills for shelled corn or for silo. 1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
REID'S YELLOW DENT 
In the upland sections requiring a corn that will mature in 
about 115 days, Reid’s Yellow Dent has made a well-deserved 
reputation because of its large yields and superior type of ear. 
It is a big yielder on good loam and heavy land, making ears 
that average 9 to 10 inches long with 18 to 24 rows to the ear, 
and well filled out at butt and tip. It is a true dent corn, the 
grains are medium narrow, wedge-shaped, and the rows are 
so close that there is practically no waste space between the 
rows. The cob is small for the size of the ear; makes one or 
two ears to the stalk. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. Write for prices 
on larger quantities. 
IMPROVED LEAMING 
Learning is known the country over as a big yielding, early 
maturing yellow corn, making generally two big ears to the 
stalk with rarely a barren stalk. It does well on all soils, but 
prefers light to medium soils. The grain is wedge-shaped and 
covers the entire cob. The ears average about 10 inches long, 
with 18 to 20 rows to the ear. The color is a deep, reddish yel¬ 
low. Matures in about 100 days. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
HICKORY KING 
The grain is so wide and deep and the cob so small that 
often a single grain will cover the end of a broken cob. It has 
been called Poor Man’s Corn, because it can be depended upon 
to produce a crop on poor, thin land; on good land it bears 
two ears to the stalk. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00. 
IMPROVED WHITE DENT 
Or Stanislaus White Dent 
Improved White Dent has been the reliable old stand-by with 
southern corn growers, and its merits are generally recog¬ 
nized. It makes a single ear to the stalk, but they are long 
and heavy; the grains are quite wide, deep and firmly set on a 
medium-sized cob. The stalk is tall and carries a good growth 
of fodder. Lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.00.
