FARM SEEDSl
CORN.
Wisconsin No. 8 (Early Yellow Dent) — Originally secured by the
Wisconsin Experiment Station from Minnesota, where it is
known as Minnesota No. 13. It is especially valuable for its
earliness, and can be depended to ripen anywhere in Wiscon-
sin. The stalks are fairly large, with a good supply of leaves.
The ears average 7 to 8 inches long, and are well filled with
fair-sized yellow kernels. Shelled, per quart, 20c; peck, $1.00;
bushel. $3.00. On the ear, peck, $1.25; bushel, $3.50.
Golden Glow (Wisconsin No. 12) — Matures a little later than Wis-
consin No. S. The ears are larger than that variety, and are
closely filled with deep golden dent corn. The stalks are fairly
large and well furnished with leaves. Shelled, per quart, 20c;
peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00. On the ear, peck, $1.25; bushel, $3.50.
Earliest of All — A small, exceedingly early variety, maturing in 60
days, small ears that are well filled with white kernels. When
planted at the same time as other sorts it is ready for use in
July. The stalks grow to an average height of 6 feet, and are
well supplied with leaves. It is especially valuable, coming in
at a time when fodder is scarce, during the dry summer
months. Shelled, per quart, 20c (by mail, 35c per quart); peck,
$1.00; bushel, $3.00.
King of the Earlies — Dent — Although somewhat neglected lately
in the effort to popularize other varieties in Wisconsin, this
old favorite still holds its own. In a season that is at all
favorable it never fails to mature a heavy crop of first-class
corn in the northern part of Wisconsin. The stalks grow to
an average height of 8 feet, and they are well covered with
leaves close to the ground, and bearing ears of medium length
profusely, with a very small cob, closely set with long, deep
golden yellow kernels. Shelled, per quart, 15c (by mail, 30c
per quart); peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; 2V 2 bushels, $3.50.
Pride of the North — An old favorite yellow dent variety, maturing
a crop of excellent corn in about ninety days. The ears are
medium long, cob small, with deep kernels set closely together.
Shelled, per quart, 15c (by mail, 30c per quart); peck, 50c;
bushel, $1.50; 2% bushels, $3.50.
.Minnesota King- — Half dent. A valuable variety for northern lati-
tudes, where the dent sorts cannot be depended upon to mature
a crop. The ears are a good size, with a small cob, and eight
rows of large,, very broad golden-yellow kernels, between a
dent and a flint. Shelled, per quart, 15c (by mail, 30c per
quart); peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; 2% bushels, $3.50.
White Cap Yellow Dent — The earliest of the large dent sorts, ma-
turing in about ninety days. It is a favorite silage variety, on
account of the heavy yield of fodder. The stalks are medium
long, strong and stocky, with an abundance of leaves. The
ears are large and closely set with deep, flat, yellow kernels,
white at the tip. It is especially suitable for poor, thin soil.
Shelled, per quart, 15c (by mail, 30c per quart); peck, 50c;
bushel, $1.50; 2% bushels, $3.50.
King of the Earlies.

bag' required.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
