Woodburn’s Western Plowman 
120 Day Corn and One of the Best 
Western Plowman is one of the largest and most 
dependable varieties of the large yielding sorts. 
It is extremely popular in the Southern part of 
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and in fact 
throughout the entire Corn Belt. It is one of 
the heaviest yielding and shelling sorts and ex¬ 
tremely rich in feeding properties. The ears are 
9 inches and over in length. Very uniform type. 
18 to 20 rows of debp, golden, oblong kernels. 
The kernel has a slight cast of reddish brown. 
The stalks are large and leafy. Heavy rooting. 
Stands up exceedingly well, making it not only 
an excellent variety for producing a bumper crop 
of the finest yellow corn in cultivation but like¬ 
wise a splendid variety for silo. 
Murdock Yellow Dent 
(Wisconsin No. 13) 
Murdock Yellow Dent was awarded sweepstakes 
for the Northern Zone, comprising the states of 
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota 
and South Dakota at the National Corn Expositions 
and this in competition with corn of all varieties. 
Mr. H. C. Brueckner of Jefferson County, Wiscon¬ 
sin, was the exhibitor of this corn. He took more 
than 35 premiums on it in 12 years. 
Murdock Yellow Dent is of a deep yellow color, 
ears 8 % to 9 % Inches in length,' hard and solid, 
just slightly rough and very uniform in type. It 
makes a large heavy growth of stalk and leaf and 
so is a good silage variety. Murdock is not a 
whole lot different from Golden Glow but it grows 
a trifle larger both in stalk and ear and yields 
a trifle more. 
Boone County White 
One of the outstanding large yielding varieties 
of White Corn, producing on an average from 
70 to 90 bushels per acre under favorable condi¬ 
tions. Ears 9 to 11 inches long. 18 to 22 rows. 
Grain very deep, little rough. Extremely attrac¬ 
tive Com both on the ear and shelled. Prize win¬ 
ner in many markets. 120 day corn. 
Iowa Silver Mine 
Identical in characteristics with Iowa Gold 
Mine. Recognized as one of the large yielding, 
drought resisting White varieties of Corn. Espe¬ 
cially suited for Central and Southern Corn Belt. 
Makes an ideal silage or fodder Corn. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent 
Leading standard yellow variety orginated by 
Mr. James L. Reid of Illinois many years ago, 
who fixed a type that experts have failed to change 
for the better. In my opinion the most popular 
sort of yellow corn grown in the United States. 
I offer pure* type of this leading standard variety, 
which is among the best all around purpose Yel¬ 
low Dent Corn grown. Description—Color deep 
yellow, with lighter cap. Grain very deep, closely 
packed: butt and tips almost entirely covered 
over. Slightly rough, with grains dented on top. 
Leaves and stalks of Reid’s Yellow Dent make the 
finest ensilage and fodder. Matures in 110 days. 
Adapted—Reid’s Yellow Dent is adapted to central 
and southern portions of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, 
Eastern Kansas and Oklahoma, Southeastern Ne¬ 
braska, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis¬ 
sissippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky 
and Virginia. 
Improved Learning 
The Learning is the oldest distinct variety of 
corn, having been originated in 1826. It is a 
standard yellow corn, well adapted to northern 
and central Illinois and the most of Iowa, and 
similar latitudes. In fact, it is grown with suc¬ 
cess in southern Wisconsin and is in great de¬ 
mand in the north for silage. Not quite as large 
and not quite as late as Reid’s Yellow Dent. 
Iowa Gold Mine 
Not a large corn, but the best thing I know 
of for medium early. I offer the pure strain Gold 
Mine, and recommend it. Description—With the 
expert corn farmer Gold Mine is known as medium 
early, between the 110 day and the extra early 
sorts that mature in eighty-five days. It is, how¬ 
ever, a great producer and sure cropper. Ears 
are medium, symmetrical. Color bright golden 
yellow. The grain is deep and the cob is small. 
For this reason it dries out quickly, producing 
sixty-two to sixty-three pounds of shelled corn 
to seventy pounds of ears. Stalks make excel¬ 
lent silage or fodder. Adapted—Iowa Gold Mine 
will grow in nearly every state in the Union, and 
is especially recommended for the Western corn 
belt. All throughout the Eastern States, where 
the climate does not demand an extra early variety, 
it is very popular. Has been tried all over the 
South with nothing but the best results.

Golden Glow or Wisconsin No. 12 
90 to 95 days. The outstanding corn for Wiscon¬ 
sin! Golden Glow is grown more largely in Wis¬ 
consin than any other variety and it is estimated 
toat half of the state’s corn acreage is to Golden 
Glow. It is ideally adapted to all sections of the 
state, planting it as far north as North Central 
Wisconsin, and as it is early, it is a safe corn in 
, an unfavorable season. 
Golden Glow or Wisconsin No. 12 was developed 
: at the Wisconsin Experimental Station. It is a 
beautiful, pure gulden yellow corn, ears 8 to 914 
inches long, 16 to 18 rowed, of symmetrical shape, 
well filled from butt to tip, with good sized kernels 
which are slightly rough on the outer end and en¬ 
tirely free from any tendency to flintiness. The 
^ stalks are about T feet high and very leafy, making 
, ... ® splendid fodder and silage corn. Golden Glow 
j fPl®fidid variety for both light and heavy soils, 
and is the best yellow dent corn for Wisconsin, up 
to the North Central Part, and for other states of 
equal latitude, Michigan, Minnesota, North and 
South Dakota. 
Silver King (Wisconsin No. 7) 
By Far the Best White Dent for Wisconsin. Northern Illinois and Iowa 
Silver King Is not only the best whit© variety but on© of the best and heaviest yield- 
^ ®' Northern states. It came from northern Iowa to Wisconsin 
in 1904. Now it is well known and a standard sort. It is a big yielder. Th© Official Descrip- 
NMsconsin College of Agriculture Corn Bulletin No. 170, is as follows:
