PURE STRAINS OF FIELD CORN 
The difference in seed cost per acre, between true type, graded and tested seed is less 
than a dime. Can you afford to prepare your seed bed and plant on the possibility of 
saving a nickel or dime per acre?

WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD SEED CORN 
Too many people consider seed good simply because it 
will grow. To be first class, seed must be— 
(1) Well adapted to the climatic and soil conditions where 
it is to be planted. 
(2) Of a high-yielding variety and from the high-yielding 
stalks of that variety. 
(3) Well matured and preserved from ripening time till 
planting time in a manner that will retain its full produc¬ 
tivity. 
(4) Free from disease and insect injury. Such freedom may 
indicate resistance to infection. 
X-L Brand is your guarantee of good seed corn. 
X-L FALCONER 
The Surest High Yielding Corn for Montana 
Falconer is a semi-dent yellow corn producing good size 
ears. Stalks are generally above 6 feet and fodder yield 
quite heavy. As Falconer is a cross, it has a tendency to 
"run out" or become mixed. For this reason extra precau¬ 
tions should be taken to secure genuine Falconer of true, 
high yielding strains. To protect you we have secured a 
limited quantity of registered seed. Sold only in 1/2 bushel 
and 1 bushel bags. All sealed and tagged with the Montana 
Seed Growers Ass'n Blue Tag. Don't lose this opportunity 
of renewing your seed at this low price. Our regular strain 
is selected and pure. Please refer to price list. 
NORTHWESTERN RED DENT 
This is a short season corn maturing in 80 to 90 days, 
making it desirable for sections where the time between 
the late and early frosts is short. It is dented and the corn 
would be satisfactory for grain feeding. Stalks grow 5 to 7 
feet high and are very thin and leafy. Splendid for Montana. 
MONTAWEALTH HYBRID CORN 
With the tremen¬ 
dous interest that 
has developed in 
Hybrid corn during 
the past few years, 
many of our cus¬ 
tomers have been 
anxious to try a va¬ 
riety. We r e c o m- 
me n d M O N T A- 
WEALTH as the best 
hybrid developed 
for this section. It 
may be planted ear¬ 
ly. Will withstand 
more drought and 
wind than most va¬ 
rieties and with a 
favorable growing 
period will produce 
a n unbelievable 
quantity of grain 
with heavy fodder. 
Please refer to price 
list. 
X-L HI-GERMINATING GEHU 
OR YELLOW FLINT 
The very earliest of flint corn, producing two or three ear* 
to the stalk. For some of Montana's high altitude counties 
this corn is a wonder as it is drought, frost and hail re¬ 
sistant to a greater extent than any other variety. 
PIONEER WHITE DENT COlN 
The earliest, hardiest White Dent in cultivation. Pioneer 
White Dent is perhaps the surest pure dent variety that can 
be grown in the northwest, and is in addition the easiest 
dent to pick for those wishing only the grain crop. This corn 
has never failed to produce some ripe corn for us even in the 
worst years and has proved an unusual success in eastern 
Montana where it is very popular. The ears average 6 to 8 
inches long, gently tapering, 14 to 16 rows of kernels which 
are white with occasional pink shading; cob mostly white; 
stalks 5 to 7 feet high; ears 2 feet from the ground. 
X-L MINNESOTA 13 
Early Strain 
This well known yellow dent corn is very popular, as it 
produces good sized ears with considerable stalk. Being a 
true dent, it is preferred by many for feed. Only the early 
strain can be depended upon to mature here. 
X-L FODDER CORN 
Every farmer milking two or more cows should grow 
fodder corn for silage. It should be cut green, and either 
stacked whole or chopped and put in pit or trench silos. 
Mr. and Mrs. Job Robinson of the Robinson Dairy inspect¬ 
ing their crop of X-L FODDER CORN. Compare the height of 
this corn with the corn binder and Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. 
Mr. Robinson has used X-L Fodder Corn for the past three 
years, cutting it like hay and placing it in a pit silo. 
Our particular strain of this variety has become popular 
with many dairymen and stock growers in Montana because 
of its large size, earlier maturity, finer and richer fodder and 
ease of handling. Grows to an average height of 8 to 10 
feet, is very leafy and has a small stalk. 
X-L GIANT SUNFLOWERS 
Sunflowers have proven their value in soil conservation 
work. By planting several rows around a fallowed field, or 
by planting a double row through the center of each fallow 
strip where strip farming is practiced, soil blowing is re¬ 
duced and snow is held during the winter. IV 2 to 2 lbs. for 
each mile of single row.
