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- 
remely rich in feeding properties. The ears are 
9 inches and over in length. Very uniform type. 
18 to 20 rows of deep, 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 85 premiums on it-in 12 years. 
Murdock Yellow Dent is of a deep yellow color, 
ears 8144 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 similar. to 
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 with 18 to 22 rows. 
Grain very deep, slightly rough. Extremely attrac- 
‘tive Corn both on the ear and shelled. Prize win- 
ner in many markets. 120 day corn. 
Iowa Silver Mine

Mine. Recognized as one of the large yielding, 
drought-resisting varieties of White Corn. Especially 
suited for Central and Southern Corn Belt. Makes 
an ideal silage or fodder Corn.

Reid’s Yellow Dent 
Leading standard yellow variety originated many 
years ago by Mr. James L. Reid of Illinois 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 th:; leading standard variety, 
which is among the best all around purpose Yel- 
low Dent Corn grown. Description—Color deep 
yellow, with lighter cap. Deep kernel, uniformly 
filled from butt to tip. 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 Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, 
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes- 
see, Kentucky and Virginia. 
Improved Leaming 
The Leaming 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. 
~ Towa Gold Mine 
Universal standard for years. 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, 
however, a great producer and sure cropper. Ears 
are medium-sized and symmetrical. Color bright 
golden yellow. The grain is deep and the cob is 
small. For this reason it dries out quickly, produc- 
ing 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.
