MAULE’S IMPROVED EARLY MASTODON CORN. 
HAS A RECORD OF 213 BUSHELS OF SHELLED CORN TO THE ACRE. 
In previous catalogues I made reference to the great record of Early Mastodon in the celebrated 
American Agriculturisi corn contest, in which it far outyielded every other yellow corn. On the 
farm of Alfred Rose, Yates county, New York, it produced 213 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, and 
on the farm of George Cartner, Pawnee county, Nebraska, it produced 171 bushels of shelled corn to 
the acre. In both cases I furnished the seed, and know that it was genuine. 
There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply has not infrequently 
been completely exhausted early in the season. I regret to believe that unscrupulous dealers have 
Z sold a great deal of inferior or impure seed under the name of Mastodon, thus deceiving their cus- 
: tomers and injuring the reputation of a noble variety of corn. My suggestion is therefore that pur- 
a E: aA 2f chases be made only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be sent direct 
| CEA to meat 1711 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, for the true headquarters seed, and run no risk.

= a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. C.S. Clark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of 
Z Ex seed cornin America. Mr. Clark grows every variety of corn known to the American public, and 
(oley a S claims Mastodon to be the’best of all. He truly says that it is a high bred corn of beautiful color. 
= ta: AD) Nothing surpasses it in number of rows on cob, and in depth of grains. It makes fine looking 
eS = shelled corn, showing two shades of color, and commanding the highest price in market. 
ae, 3 Mr. Clark further states that it fully withstands the rigor of this Northern climate, makes a 
= rapid, strong and rank growth, attains a medium height, ‘“‘and will outyield any corn ever grown 
in this section. * * * It was grown and ripened in from 96 to 100 days within eight miles of 
Lake Erie.” Fields planted June 1 were cut September 165. 
“T have grown thousands of bushels of Golden Beauty,” says Mr. Clark, “and now have many 
flelds under contract. The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earlier, growing side by side, 
and planted the same week.’”’ And, again: “Mastodon corn is one week to ten days earlier 
than the J. S. or any other Leaming corn grown, and with us ripened up in some cases earlier 
than Pride of the North. How can it be otherwise? It is crossed with the two earliest corns 
ever grown in the North— the White Cap and Early Row Dent.”’ 
Every corn grower who reads this catalogue should try Maule’s Improved Early Mastodon.

EXTRA EARLY HURON DENT. — Mr. A. A. Chatfield, Fulton county, Ohio, won a
