Extra Early Yellow Flint Corn 
NEVER eber ORE OFFERED BY ANY SEED HOUSE 
YIELDS 90 BUSHELS OF SHELLED CORN PER ACRE 
Can be Shelled and Ground Earlier than Any Other Variety 
This is a valuable addition to the Flint varieties of Field Corn. Although it has been grown for several years by 
the raiser, this is the first time that it has been offered by any seedsman or corn dealer. The ears are eight- 
rowed, remarkably long, frequently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set 
with large broad kernels. The stalks are of medium height. In ordinary seasons it will ma- 
ture in ninety days, and can be shelled and ground for feed earlier than any other large- 
yielding variety. It is especially valuable in sections where corn cannot be 
planted before the middle of June. With good cultivation Extra Early 
Yellow Flint will yield 90 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Con- 
sidering that it is an eight-rowed early sort this is an excellent 
yield. Specially recommended for planting in northern 
New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

It pies to Plant Selected Seeds—An Object Lesson. 
At the state Agricultural College of Iowa, 100 different samples of Corn were procured from farmers near Ames, Ia., and planted all 
on the same land. Thev were all cultivated and grown under the same conditions. The yield at harvest time varied from as low as 
20 bushels per acre to as high as 100 bushels per acre in a few instances. 
As everybody knows it costs just as much to grow an acre of corn yielding 20 bushels per acre, as it does to grow an acre 
will yield 100 bushels per acre. What a waste then, of time and money to plant low grade seed.
