Maule's Dependable 

 Yellow Dent Corn 



A Perfect Large Eared Sort 



Another new introduction, which we feel 

 confident will become very popular after this, 

 its second year on the market. JIaule's Depend- 

 able Yellow JJent is a fit companion to either 

 Improved Mastodon or Droughtproof, as it 

 matures its crop only a few days later, produc- 

 ing a much larger ear. This corn which we 

 have been hybridizing and breeding to a dis- 

 tinct character for several years is now so per- 

 fected as to uniformity in size, color and 

 shape, that we have not the least hesitation in 

 recommending it to our customers in all sec- 

 tions. Maule's Dependable Yellow Dent pro- 

 duces a beautiful, large, golden yellow grain, 

 which is sure to please. The cob contains 18 

 to 22 rows, deep and solidly set. When shelled 

 it makes the finest appearance, but equally as 

 beautiful on the ear. The stalk grows to a 

 height of 10 to 12 feet, with a profusion of 

 blades. Each stalk produces one large size 

 ear, there being no barren stalks whatever 

 under normal conditions. The ears average 

 in length from 10 to 12 Inches. It is a good 

 cropper bearing an average yield of 75 bushels 

 per acre, maturing its crop in from 115 to 120 

 days under favorable weather conditions. 



All progi-essive farmers and corn growers 

 should try this wonderful new introduction. 

 It is as its name implies a dependable yellow 

 dent corn for your section, producing a maxi- 

 mum yield of Ijoth corn and fodder.

Rcid's Yellow Dent 



The Most PopuW Yellow Dent Corn 

 in the Great Central Corn Belt. Does 

 Equally as Well in Pennsylvania as it 

 Does in Illinois. 



For a number of years past Reid's YeUow 

 Dent has been one of the most popular varie- 

 ties of the Middle West, some people going so 

 far as to say there is more of this corn planted 

 than of aU other sorts combined. It is a true 

 dent corn, color a beautiful golden yellow, 

 with one of the smallest cobs for size of ear of 

 any yellow corn. Ears are frequently 10 to 11 

 inches long, and from 7 to 8 inches in circum- 

 ference. It is easily shelled and matures its 

 crop under favorable conditions in about 115 

 days. It undoubtedly has taken more prizes 

 at the Illinois State Fair and other great corn 

 shows than any other variety. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 

 75 cts., postpaid. By express or freight; 

 not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, S3. 50; 

 2 bushels, S4.75; 10 bushels, S33.50. 



811 Minnesota King 



A Yellow Half Dent Field Com 



This famous 8-rowed field corn is neither a 

 dent nor a flint variety, but may be described 

 as a half dent. It is widely advertised as the 

 most valuable early field corn ever sent out. 

 The introducers claim that no other sort will 

 produce so largely and do so well, taking poor 

 years with good ones, as Jlinnesota King. It 

 is able to endure conditions of both flood and 

 drought with remarkable success, but what is 

 even more significant it can withstand changes 

 of temperature, and is but little injured by 

 heat or cold. It seems peculiarly adapted to 

 those locations where short seasons an>d early 

 autumn frosts make corn an uncertain crop, 

 maturing in about 85 days. The grain is very 

 broad and of an extremely clear golden color. 

 The 8-rowed ear is of good size and shape, with 

 a small cob. 



Packet. 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 

 75 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; bushel, S3.50; 

 2 bushels, S4.75; 10 bushels, S32.50.
