SEED CORN It costs less than 25 cts. an acre to use our carefully selected seed corn. Do you deem it wise to risk doubtful corn when good seed is so cheap?

To Corn Growers. - Thirty-three years ago when we began in the seed business, farmers would not buy seed corn. Every man saved his own seed, and it was considered the height of extravagance and folly to buy seed corn. In 1881 we introduced a new variety, and those few who were venturesome enough to try it were greatly pleased, but the sale was limited. In 1892 we originated and introduced the Iowa Gold Mine Corn, which sprang at once into prominence, as it was and is yet the deepest grained and purest yellow variety ever brought out. Since that time we have introduced the Iowa Silver Mine, Early Longfellow Dent, Lenocher's Homestead, Improved Early Mastodon Star, Leaming, New Century Wonder, Profit, and Farmer's Reliance, which have all become very popular and are considered everywhere the best in their class.

THOROUGHBRED SEED CORN Vast treasures of soil, rain and sunshine are being annually wasted by trifling with varieties of corn not capable of utilizing them. The value of the corn crop in Iowa at the average price would be increased nearly three million dollars by an average increase in yield of one bushel per acre; and it has been demonstrated that from twenty to one hundred per cent can be added to the yield by planting some of our improved varieties. Why not plant at least one field with some of our varieties this year? This year good seed corn is scarce in many localities, but we are glad to state that our fields seem to have been in specially favored localities, and owing to their thoroughbred character they were enabled to stand more unfavorable weather than ordinary corn, and we therefore have an excellent stock of extra choice seed corn to offer this year and are enabled to make reasonable prices for same.
