Silver King (Wisconsin No. 7) Corn.
CORN.
During- the past few years the Corn Crop in Wisconsin has devel-
oped into a very important one, so that now in point of yield we rank
with the best in the Corn Eelt. This has been brought about in a
great measure through the efforts of the Wisconsin Experiment Station
in the selection and breeding of large yielding .varieties^ that are suit-
able for our climatic conditions.
By special arrangements we have these Wisconsin varieties grown
for us by members of the Wisconsin Experiment Association, who give
particular care to the selection of the earliest and best ears, so that
our stocks are constantly being improved.
All our Seed Corn is carefully selected and fire dried, after which
it is thoroughly tested for vitality and none is allowed to go out that
does not show strong germination.
Clark's Yellow Dent (Wisconsin No. 1) — A popular variety bearing good
sized ears well filled with bright golden kernels. Shelled, per
quart, 20c; peck, $1.00; bushel. $3.50. On the ear, peck, $1.20; bushel.
$3.75.
Silver King (Wisconsin No. 7) — An excellent white dent variety, ma-
turing early, and suited to Wisconsin conditions. It was originally
brought from northern Iowa, and developed at the Wisconsin Ex-
periment Station. The ears are large and closely set with deep
white kernels. It is a remarkable yielder. In 1908 the average
yield of this variety at the Wisconsin Experiment Station was 93
bushels to the acre. Shelled, per quart, 20c; peck, $1.00; bushel,
$3.50. On the ear, peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00.

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.
