soo 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 73 to 8 inches in circumference, with 
16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging at husking time nearly one pound 
each. Improved Mastodon 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 to3 large ears toastalk. The foliage is large, 
healthy and makes unusually 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 fayorable growing conditions. It makes fine looking shelled corn, 
showing two shades, a golden yellow with a white cap. 
There has been a brisk demand 
for this corn for years past, and am 
our supply has not infrequently fee 
been completely exhausted early fi 
in the season. We regret to be- 
lieve 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 head- 
quarters seed.
