Certified SEED CORN 
Early Yellow Varieties—Michigan Grown 
These varieties are adapted for Michigan as they are early maturing and heavy 
yielding which will insure you high quality corn. Seeds grown too far south are 
generally a risk in Michigan climate. Our northern grown seeds are better adapted 
to this climate and growers who expect to grow corn at a profit will realize the 
importance of good seed corn such as we offer. 
Certified Golden Glow is an early maturing yellow dent corn. The stalks grow 
6 to 8 ft. tall and bear ears of deep yellow, 7 to 8 in. long. The kernels are nearly 
square and the cobs a deep red. Ripens normally in 90 days. This seed is grown 
in Michigan and certified by the Michigan Crop Improvement Association. 
Certified Pickett’s Yellow Dent. A reliable 90-day corn. The ears are long and 
somewhat slender with a small dark red cob. The kernels are slightly rough and 
rather deep. This is also Michigan grown seed and certified by the Michigan Crop 
Improvement Association. 
Standard Yellow Varieties 
Early Murdock—90 days. 
Golden Glow—90 days. 
. Early White Cap Yellow Dent—100 days.

All the above varieties have been grown with success in Michigan, being early 
and adapted to the soil and climatic conditions. They will generally mature before 
frost, and we recommend any one of them. 
Fodder and Ensilage 
Corn 
Dry Fodder Corn is the most satisfactory substitute for hay. It nearly, if not 
quite, equals in feeding value timothy and clover. All stock eat it greedily and 
thrive on it. 
Learning Fodder Corn 
This variety is preferred by most dairymen for filling silos, 
for the reason that the corn matures the large ears (in any 
ordinary season it will ripen), and gives more grain in the 
ensilage. Stalks very large and leafy, and grows an immense 
amount of forage to the acre. It requires from one peck to 
one-half bushel of seed per acre, drilled in rows one way. 
Red Cob Ensilage 
A gigantic Southern white corn, producing immensely large 
ears, rarely maturing in this latitude. The stalks grow from 
12 to 15 feet in height, with long, broad leaves from the ground 
to the tassel. Stalks very thick at the butt, juicy, tender and as 
sweet as sugar corn; and all stock eat it with relish. Many 
dairymen prefer it for the silo, for the reason that 
it produces such an enormous amount of silage 
(from 15 to 25 tons per acre). It is especially val¬ 
uable for the dry fodder when cut and kept in the 
4 shock until fed. It will produce a good crop of 
forage, even when sown as late as July. 
Eureka Ensilage Corn 
Will produce more tons of Silo Corn per acre 
than even Red Cob Ensilage Corn. Stalks will 
grow 12 to 15 feet in height, with broad leaves 
from the grround up. Each stalk will bear from 
one to three long ears. Very rapid grower and can 
either be planted in hills or in drill rows.
