Matures exceedingly early, from 60 to 70 days being a fair average. The kernels are large and the stalks are of good height. The ears average two to a stalk, growing well up so as to readily admit being cut by the harvester. The stalks grow very tall and leafy and make superior fodder. Will surely prove of the greatest value to the farmers of the far North, particularly the Dakotas, Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the Canadian Provinces. Postpaid, ˝ lb. 18C; lb. 35C; 3 lbs. $1.00

Golden Bantam
A deservedly popular sweet corn of a distinct, rich sweet flavor and also of extreme hardiness, on account of which it can be planted earlier and in colder and damper soil than other varieties. It is about 10 days later than Early Illinois and Malakoff. Many of our customers prefer Golden Bantam to any other corn and are planting it at regular intervals to obtain a continuous supply during the season, and in our latitude it can be sown as late as the middle of July and will furnish corn for the table before frost. The stalks grow from 3 ˝ to 4 feet in height and produce 2 and more good ears, which are 6 to 7 inches long and of a bright golden yellow color when ready for the table. It has to be tasted to be appreciated. It is the sweetest, most luscious, sugary and toothsome corn produced on earth. Market gardeners will find Golden Bantam a well-paying crop throughout the season. Pkt. 10C; ˝ lb. 28C; lb. 50c.

Improved Indian Squaw Corn
Holds more records for wonderful performances under difficult conditions than any corn ever grown. It is an extremely early variety, maturing in 85 days and is a more successful corn for late planting than the Mexican June corn, about which so much has been written in recent years. Not only will this ripen ahead of the Mexican June, but will make a good crop under adverse conditions that will choke out the latter variety. Perhaps the most wonderful quality of this corn is its power to resist drouth. The most protracted dry weather hinders its growth not at all and still it will weather a wet season equally well. In appearance this corn is one of our most handsome varieties. The kernels are of different colors, red, blue, yellow and white, giving the ears a curiously beautiful mottled appearance. The ears grow from 8 to 12 inches in length and are of symmetrical form. This variety is grown very largely everywhere for hogging down. For this purpose is is planted alone or with soy beans or rape. The corn making less shade than taller varieties allows the beans and rape to develop very well. The ears growing near the ground, this corn could not be cut with the binder but the hogs will harvest it without any waste whatever. It is a well known fact that returns are equally as good where the hogs gather their feed themselves as where they are hand fed. Postpaid, ˝ lb. 18C; lb. 30C; 3 lbs. 85c.
Improved Pride of the North
A wonderful improvement over the old reliable standby – Pride of the North. This splendid pedigreed variety is unquestionably one of the very best 90 day field corns for Northern latitudes. It will ripen in Northern localities hitherto able to grow only the flint varieties. Postpaid, lb. 30C; 3 lbs. 85c.
Improved Yellow Yankee
Particularly adapted to the Northern Middle States. One of the earliest and best known yellow flint varieties. The ears are well filled to the tips with good, rich, golden-yellow kernels.

The grain is large, broad, very white and of sweet, delicious quality. Pkt. 10C; ˝ lb. 25C; lb. 40c.
Minnesota King
This was introduced a number of years ago and has steadily increased in favor since its introduction, and we consider it one of the most valuable sorts ever grown for the Northern states. While there are many varieties that in good years will yield as much as Minnesota King, there are very few, we think, that will, year in and year out, produce as heavy a crop as this sort. The ears are quite large, cobs small; kernels yellow, broad, long, and set very closely on the cob. Postpaid, lb. 30C; 3 lbs. 85c.
Minnesota No. 13
This is the earliest yellow dent corn grown and is largely planted in the Northern states. There is no other yellow dent, fully as early, that is equally as productive. The stalks are 7 feet high, are very leafy and furnish great quantities of fodder; ears average 8 inches in length and have 16 to 20 rows of smooth, plump, rich yellow kernels.

All ears are uniform and well filled out, and will easily make 60 pounds of shelled corn to the bushel. Postpaid, lb. 35C; 3 lbs. $1.00
Northern Yellow Dent
The best yellow variety for general requirements. By all odds the earliest, largest 100-day Yellow Dent corn in existence. The type is very even, ears measuring 10 to 12 inches in length, often weighing one and one-half pounds or more. Very uniform in size and shape, with sixteen to eighteen rows of deep pure golden yellow kernels set on small sized cob, which is well filled out over the tip and butt. The grains are of good size, long, flat, and closely set together, deeply dented, and solidly fill the entire surface of the ear. We call this a one hundred day corn, but it often ripens in ninety-five days. Postpaid, lb. 35C; 3 lbs. $1.00
Northwestern Dent
The earliest dent corn grown; it can be depended upon to mature as far North as North Dakota and Manitoba; but it is also quite largely used in other states for early feeding, and for late planting when other corn has been destroyed by frost or drouth, and if planted as late as July it will generally mature before frost; it is also planted largely in drouth stricken sections of the Western States, where it is often the only kind that will mature. It grow 6 ˝ feet high, the ears are 7 to 10 inches long; setting 3 feet above the ground, they can be cut with the corn harvester; they have 10 to 14 rows of large, red kernels with a yellow cap.
