WM. HENRY MAULE, Inc., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Field Seeds—101 
Maule’s Improved Mastodon Corn 
The Earliest of all the Large Eared Yellow Dent Varieties 
Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre 
In the celebrated American Agriculturist corn contest, Maule’s Im- 
proved Mastodon 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 we furnished the seed. 
There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and our 
supply has not infrequently been completely exhausted early in the sea- 
son. We regret to believe that unscrupulous dealers have sold a great 
deal of inferior or impure seed under the name of Mastodon, thus deceiy- 
ing their customers and injuring the reputation of a noble variety of corn. 
Our suggestion is, therefore, that purchases be made only from reliable 
neighbors who have raised the stock or that orders be sent direct to us 
at 2ist and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, for the true headquarters seed. 
Maule’s) Improved Mastodon 
combines large yield, large grains 
and extra early quality to a re- 
markable degree. It originated 
with Mr. ©. 8. Clark, of Ohio, 
probably the largest grower of 
seed corn in America. Mr. Clark 
grows every variety of corn known 
to the American public, and claims 
Improved Mastodon to be the best 
of all. Nothing surpasses it in 
number of rows on cob, and in 
depth of grains. It makes a rapid, 
strong and rank growth, attains a 
good height, and matures in from 
95 to 100 days. It makes fine 
looking shelled corn, showing two 
shades of color.

Boone County White = 
A highly bred variety of white = 
dent corn of extra large size. The 
large stalk grows from 10 to 12 
feet high with an abundance of 
y foliage, and like all other white & 
grained varieties, is the best for « 
old, thin or poor soil. The ears Pi 
average 9 to 11 inches in length, * 
containing 18 to 24 rows. The cob ‘ 
is medium large and white in 
color. The kernels are pearl white, 
quite rough, with a large germ.

time to mature, it is particularly 
valuable, maturing in about 120

white meal, making it a valuable 
variety for milling.
