Open-Pollinated Corn 
COLORADO NO. 13 is the name given to a 
high yielding yellow dent corn which orig- 
inated from strains of Minnesota No. 13. 
This corn is well adapted to regions of 
the state at elevations between 4,800 and 
6,000 feet. It is the product of many years 
of careful selection. 90 to 100 days. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 corn is a well known 
yellow dent corn well adapted to eleva-° 
tions between 5,000 and 6,000 feet. 90 to 
100 days. The ears set about 4 feet from the 
ground and average 7 to 10 inches long. The 
kernels are wedge-shaped and of a bright, rich 
yellow color. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT is by no means a 
fixed type of corn. Sometimes the grains resemble 
- Minnesota No. 13 and sometimes are more like 
Pride of the North, or whiter, resembling Swad- 
ley. This corn variety, however, is thoroughly 
acclimated, matures early, yields well and with- 
stands drought very satisfactorily. 90 days. 
CRAWFORD’S YELLOW DENT originated in Delta 
County and has been found well adapted in 
Morgan County and similar regions. It is a deep, 
rough kerneled, small cob corn. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT is a selected strain of 
the well known Reid’s Corn. This variety is 
standard for southeastern Colorado, the Arkan- 
sas and Grand Valleys. 100 to 110 days. 
IOWA SILVER MINE is a white dent corn maturing 
in 100 to 110 days. Is often referred to as ‘’The 
National Corn."" The cob is small and white. 
The kernels are deep, white, and rather smooth, 
dented but not hackle crowned. It has a deep 
root system which enables it to withstand drought 
and adverse conditions exceedingly well. 
IOWA GOLD MINE is a yellow dent ensilage corn 
maturing in 110 days. Resembles Improved 
Leaming very much. 
IMPROVED LEAMING is a yellow dent corn and 
a general favorite with stockmen and dairymen 
for ensilage purposes. Matures in 100 to 110 
days. The large, leafy stalks make an immense 
tonnage of fodder or silage. Ears are large. 
Averages 20 to 24 rows of grain. Grains are 
deep wedge-shaped, closely set and have a 
tich, yellow color. 
RED COB ENSILAGE is a pure white dent corn with 
a red cob. It matures in 110 to 115 days. Ears 
are large and the stalks grow 10 to 14 feet high 
with many broad, succulent leaves, producing 
an immense tonnage of excellent quality silage. — 
Red Cob Ensilage. is well adapted for silage 
purposes. 

WHITE AUSTRALIAN is a hard flint corn 
well adapted for cool climates, short sea- 
sons and dry lands. Ears are of medium 
size; kernels are white, smooth, shallow, 
rounded and flinty. 85 to 90 days. 
NORTHWESTERN RED DENT is a short sea- 
son corn maturing in 90 to 95 days, mak- 
ing it desirable for sections where the time 
between late and early frosts is short. It 
is dented and the corn would be satisfac- 
tory for grain feeding. Stalks grow 5 to 7 feet 
high and are very thin and leafy. 
CALICO is a medium early, mixed dent corn ma- 
turing in 100 days. Kernels are variegated, being 
speckled or moitled red, white and yellow. The 
stalks are leafy; the ears are carried high. Calico 
corn has a high protein content making it a very 
efficient feed. 
HARTNER’S RAINBOW FLINT is an early maturing 
corn for dry lands and short seasons. It is a 
flint, resembling White Australian in habit and 
size of kernels. The grains are variegated and 
highly colored. It is adapted for short seasons, 
dry lands, big yields. 90 days. 
GEHU FLINT is a yellow dwarf, flint corn growing 
4 to 6 feet high. It matures in 80 to 90 days. 
It is not a husking corn as the ears set close to 
the ground, but this makes it very desirable for 
early hogging down. It is the earliest yellow 
corn and its particular use is for short seasons 
and dry land planting. 
SQUAW CORN is a mixture of various sorts once 
grown by North Dakota Indians. It is often 
called Blue Squaw. It is early, maturing in 92 
days. The ears are small; kernels are shallow, 
rounded, smooth and flinty; yields well. It is 
selected for sections where the growing season 
is short where grain is required. 
All of the most common varieties of open-polli- 
nated corn used in this territory have been listed.
