809 Maule's Improved Mastodon 



The Earliest of all the Large Eared Yellow Dent Varieties 

 Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre 



It is the largest eared, extra early yellow dent corn; the ears measuring 

 9 to 12 inches in length, and from 7| to 8 inches in circumference, with 

 16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging at husking time nearly one pound 

 each. Outyields any other variety ripening at the same time. 



It makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attaining a height of 9 to 10 

 feet, often producing 2 to 3 large ears to a stalk. The foliage is large, 

 making fine fodder and is one of the best varieties for that purpose. 



We consider Improved Mastodon the variety to plant where an extra 

 early, large eared corn is wanted that will mature in 95 to 100 days under 



favorable growing conditions. It 

 makes fine looking shelled corn.

There has been a brisk demand 

 for this corn for years past, and 

 our supply has not infrequently 

 been completely exhausted early 

 in the season. We regret to be- 

 liev^e that unscrupulous dealers 

 have sold a great deal of inferior' 

 or impure seed for Mastodon. Our 

 suggestion is, therefore, that pur- 

 chases be made only from re- 

 liable neighbors who have raised 

 the stock or that orders be sent di- 

 rect to us at 21st and Arch Streets, 

 Philadelphia, for the true seed.
