GUNSON NORTHERN GROWN CORN 
Open-Pollinated Varieties 
CARDINAL KING—A new cross-bred corn of unusual 
vigor. Do not confuse with hybrids which are grown from 
inbred parents. Stalks are tall, very leafy, many leaves 5 
inches or more in width. Foliage is a darker green than 
most other varieties of ensilage corn. Ears are extra long, 
small cob, with 12 or more rows of very attractive red 
kernels with golden yellow cap. About the same maturity 
as the earliest strains of Sweepstakes and Leaming. 
PRIDE OF NISHNA—An improved strain of the Pride of 
North, bred up with the object in view of getting the largest 
quantity and best quality silage. Grain is a deep yellow 
and forms a large ear. Stalks tall, not too coarse and bear 
an immense amount of broad leaves. For both tonnage and 
well matured ears plant Gunson Pride of Nishna. 
CORNELL 11—Grain corn or early ensilage. One of the 
best early yellow dent corns ever introduced. Stalks 7 to 
9 feet, ears average 8 to 9 inches, with 14 to 22 rows of 
grain. Kernels medium wide and thick, yellow with an 
occasional ear showing a reddish tinge. In the short season 
areas, it is a fine ensilage variety. 
EARLY ROCHESTER—Grain corn or early ensilage. 
This excellent early yellow dent corn introduced by us some 
years ago, still meets with favor as a husking corn in sec- 
tions similar to this locality and for an early ensilage corn 
in areas where the season is shorter. Stalks 8 to 9 feet, 
ears 8 to 9 inches, small cob, 14 to 20 rows of beautiful 
yellow kernels. 
GOLDEN GLOW-—This variety originated in Wisconsin 
and is classed as an early corn for the southern part of 
that state. Grain a golden yellow, stalks 7 to 9 feet tall, 
ears 81% to 9 inches long. Kernels are very uniform, smooth 
dented, moderate depth and width, averaging 14 to 18 
rows on a cherry red cob. 
a Seen soma 
It is reported by one of our Michigan salesmen that one of his customers 
bought last year, 2 ‘bu. Pride of Nishna corn which he planted on 10 
acres. With the crop from this corn he filled and refilled 2 silos, 12 x 30 
and 14 x 30. Needless to say he has reordered for 1954.
