■Austin's Colossal Yellow Dent 



AN ENTIRELY NEW AND REMARKABLE FIELD CORN. A perfect 

 wonder in large size of ears, uniformly over a foot in length 



The Highest Average Yielder 



This new corn excited the admiration 

 and wonder of thousands of farmers who 

 visited the Agricultural Building at the 

 Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, 

 in 1901. Of the hundreds of varie- 

 ties there exhibited, from almost every 

 State in the Union, it carried off the 

 honors, and we feel justly proud in being 

 the first seedsmen to procure the seed 

 from its experienced originator, Mr. H. 

 W. Austin, and offer it for sale to our 

 customers last spring. The yield 

 on the farm of the originator the 

 past season was at the rate of 

 120 bushels to the acre, and in the 

 most unfavorable seasons it has never 

 given less than 100 bushels to the acre of 

 its magnificent ears, borne 2 to a stalk, 

 ripening in 110 to 120 days from planting ; 

 grain deep, rich yellow, very heavy, and 

 will sell for the highest prices on any 

 market in the land ; stalks medium, not 

 too large, and produce enormously on 

 both light and heavy land. Prices for 

 1903: lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, 

 postpaid ; by freight or express, sacks 

 included, peck, $1.00; bush., $3.00; bagof 

 2 bush, for $5.00. On ear, 25 ears for 

 $2. 00 ; 50 ears for $3.00 ; 100 ears for |5.00.
