FODDER AND FLINT CORN 
Ideal Silo Corn 
Registered and State Sealed 
An Origination of the Fanner Seed & Nursery 
Company. Greatest tonnage per acre. 
Ideal Silo Corn is the greatest yielder of corn 
for fodder purposes, for feeding green, for en¬ 
silage, and for curing in the bundle. 
Originated by us, to give the largest tonnage 
in stalks and leaves—and well developed ears, 
that will make a balanced ration ensilage. It 
is not coarse like southern fodder, and does not 
grow all to leaves and water. 
This strong, vigorous variety produces stalks 
8 to 10 feet high, with broad thick leaves, mak¬ 
ing large quantities of high quality succulent 
fodder. Ears 8 to 10 inches long, with medium 
deep yellow kernels. Matures in about 110 days. 
Our farmer friends report Ideal Silo Corn to 
fill silos with half the usual acreage. Many 
have filled silos 12x30 with corn from four 
acres, and 12x35 with corn from five acres, 
when with ordinary corn from 10 to 12 acres 
would be required to fill the same silos. 
Demand Always Exceeds Supply 
The demand in previous years has exceeded 
the supply of seed, and although we have a fair 
stock of the finest quality seed this year, and 
the lowest prices in years, we urge our friends 
to order early. 
A down payment of 25% will hold your corn 
order until March 15th, at which time the bal¬ 
ance is due. For Pi-ices See Blue Figure List. 
Hybrid^^ Silo Corn 
Because of the outstanding characteristics, 
hybrids are well adapted for silage. Many cus¬ 
tomers have asked that we offer hybrid corn for 
silage because of its superiority to other kinds. 
These qualities which make hybrid suitable 
for silage are— 
1. Produces an increased tonnage of 25%; 
more than enough to pay the extra seed 
costs. 
2. Does not lodge and is easily cut with a 
hinder. 
3. Grows to a uniform height. 
4. Stalks and leaves stay green longer. 
5. Resists cold, drought and heat. 
6. Produces well-developed, uniform-sized 
ears. 
We have a limited amount of large type hy¬ 
brid corn in this special lot taken from our 
regular registered stock. 
For Prices See Blue Figure List.
