Sterling 1 Seed Corn 
FIELD CORN—Cont. 
Silver Kins'. Also known as Wisconsin No. 7 or 
Silver Jewel. This variety of snow white corn 
is increasing in popularity. T'he stalks bear well, 
frequently two ears. The ears run 16 rows on the 
average, are well filled both on tips and butts and 
uniform in size and type. This Corn is best 
adapted for southern Minnesota, southern South 
Dakota, southern Wisconsin and northern Iowa. 
100 to 105 days are usually required to mature. 
WISCONSIN VARIETIES 
Wisconsin No. 12—Golden Glow. A popular yel¬ 
low dent variety, developed by the Wisconsin Experiment 
Station. Larger than Minnesota No. 13—also later, maturing 
in 100 to 110 days. Adapted for husking in Minnesota and 
Wisconsin as far north as Minneapolis. 
Wisconsin No. 8. A yellow dent strain developed by straight 
selective breeding from the Minnesota No. 13 variety by Wis¬ 
consin Experiment Station. Matures in 90 to 100 days and 
grows 6 to 8 feet tall. Adapted for husking through central 
and northern Wisconsin. 
Wisconsin No. 25. An extra early yellow dent variety de¬ 
veloped at one of the Northern Branches of the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station. Similar to Extra Early Minnesota No. 13, 
but the ears have fewer rows and kernels are broader. Ma¬ 
tures in 85 to 95 days. Adapted to husking throughout North¬ 
ern Wisconsin. A very useful variety. 
NO. MINN., NO. DAK. and MONTANA STRAINS 
Extra Early Minnesota No. 13. (Haney Strain) A yellow 
dent which matures in 85 to 95 days. Adapted for husking in 
Northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. 
Extra Early Northwestern Dent. A strain about a week 
earlier than the standard Northwestern Dent. Adapted for 
husking on both sides of Canadian border and for bundle 
feeding. Matures in 80 to 90 days. 
Geliu Flint. This yellow dwarf flint variety was introduced 
in 1889 and is supposed to be a cross between an 8 row yellow 
squaw flint and Mercer. Grows 4 to 6 feet tall and matures in 
80 to 90 days. The earliest yellow variety. Ears grow close to 
ground making it desirable for early hogging down. 
Mercer Flint. Probably the most popular medium early yel¬ 
low flint in the Northwest. Adapted to husking where Extra 
EJarly Minnesota No. 13 will mature. Excellent for ensilage 
and fodder farther North. 
North Dakota White Flint. Resulting from a careful selec¬ 
tion of Squaw corn for many years. Very much better than 
the Squaw. Average height stalk 5 feet, average distance base 
of ear from ground iy 2 feet. Average length of ear 6 inches. 
Matures in 75 to 85 days. 
KINGSCROST CORN 
“Kingscrost” is a special name created and registered by 
Northrup, King & Co. to distinguish their special varieties 
produced by their inbreeding and crossing method. 
The four strains of Kingscrost Field Corn are crosses or 
hybrids between inbred strains developed by Northrup, King 
& Co. through an extensive modern corn breeding program 
started in 1922. 
It is entirely different from the regular varieties, both in 
the methods by which it was bred and the method of growing 
the seed. Production of Kingscrost corn is carried on so that 
the seed is newly crossed each year.
