Wisconsin White Dent—To those desiring a large white Corn of the dent variety, we can offer the best that is or can be grown north of the latitude of Chicago, and is a most desirable sort further south. It is 16 to 2) rows, kernels large, cob small and mostly white. This Corn was awarded two premiums at the national Corn show at Chicago, being the only dent Corn from Wisconsin taking a prize.
