Improved Strains of the Best Types Make You Money 
Early Maturing 
Golden Glow is a fa¬ 
vorite with northern 
corn growers. It grows a 
taller stalk than the av¬ 
erage early liiiid and ma¬ 
tures a beautiful shaped 
ear 7 to 9 inches long. The 
Kernels are golden yellow 
medium long. This variety 
is used for husking in 
southern parts of Minne¬ 
sota. Wisconsin, Michigan, 
northern Illinois. We rec¬ 
ommend this variety as one 
of the best producers of the 
earlier types. It yields more 
bushels of good sound coin 
per acre. We have some ex¬ 
tra good Golden Glow Seed 
Corn and will 
ship you highly 
satisfactory 
stock. 
PRIDE OF THE 
NORTH 
An Early Type 
This is the Pride of the North 
type of yellow corn. Has been 
a popular corn for the northern 
sections for in a n y years. Is 
good for late planting where an 
early feeding corn is desired. 
It has a smaller stalk growth 
than most later varieties. By 
planting four or five grains in 
a hill, it will make a heavy 
yield. 
Description 
The ears are medium size 
about 8 inches long. The ker¬ 
nels are quite deep and of a 
rich yellow color. This is a 
good producing type of 
corn. Matures in about 
9.') to 10." days in a 
normal season. 
RED WHITE CAP DENT 
This is also known as the Red 90 Day Com. 
Sometimes sold as Smoky Dent. A fine va¬ 
riety for early feeding corn. One of the best 
varieties for late replanting. An excellent 
yielder. Include a few acres of this variety in 
your crop schedule this year. 
Description —The color is cherry red and the 
top of grain is a white or light yellow* cap. 
Ears are 8 to 9 indies long and usually have 
14 rows of kernels. Will 
make a crop as far 
north as south 
central Wis¬ 
consin. 
We are sure that this is the best known 
variety of corn in the United States. It 
has w'on all manner of prizes at leading 
corn shows. Like many of the older va¬ 
rieties, many strains have lieen devel¬ 
oped. Everything that goes by the name 
of Reid’s Yellow* Dent is by no means all 
the same kind of corn. 
Reid^s Dent 
The strain of Reid’s Dent that we have 
has been producing big yields of high 
quality corn. It’s not show corn we care 
aliout but more bushels of sound corn 
per acre. 
It is somewhat rougher than the aver¬ 
age Reids and one which we believe will 
dry out quicker than the old smooth type. 
It is a better feeding corn as the kernels 
are not so flinty. The ears are 9 to 11 
inches long. Cylindrical in sliape. Well 
filled butts and tips and straigiit rows. 
Deep kernels. Light j'ellow color. Ma¬ 
tures in around 110 days. 
SILVER 
MINE TYPE 
They used to call this corn the re- 
Hable mortgage lifter. It has long 
been regarded as the corn that 
would meet any conditions of soil, 
rainfall, temperature and tillage. 
The deep root system of Silver Mine 
makes it an excellent drought re¬ 
sister. Its ability to mature in 
around 110 to lin days insures 
producing sound coi*n even during 
trying years. It is a white corn. 
The ears are long’ and well shaped. 
Has medium small cob. Seed coTues 
from a heavy corn i>roducing dis¬ 
trict. It is well graded. See page 32.

riety. Ripens in 80 to 85 days. Very

Stalks are quite leafy. 
Smut Nose Flint

claim it will outyield other flint va¬ 
rieties.
