Fodder Corn 
EARLY NORTHWESTERN, Smoky Dent 
The earliest dent corn grown. The ker- 
nel is red, being a cross between a red flint 
and a yellow dent. While this corn does 
not produce as great a quantity of stalk 
as the Minnesota No. 13, it will mature a 
much greater number of ears, and so is 
especially adapted for feeding hogs. 
Prices, postpaid: Lb. 15c; 10 Ibs. at 10c 
per Ib.; 50 Ibs. at 9c per Ib.; 100 Ibs. at 
8c per Ib. 
MINNESOTA No. 13, Dent 
This corn is the earliest and most pro- 
ductive of all yellow dent corn. Besides 
being adapted to a wider range of climate 
and soils than any other corn, it will pro- 
duce the greatest amount of ensilage of 
any of the kinds now grown with success 
west of the Cascade Mountains. Our stock 
is grown from finest selected stock and 
carefully tested for germination. 
Prices, postpaid: Lb. 15c; 10 Ibs. at 10c 
per Ib.; 50 Ibs. at 9c per Ib.; 100 Ibs. at
