92 THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1906 
5 Improved Klondike Field Corn. 
A thoroughbred that has fulfilled its promise. Remarkable for earliness and smallness of cob. 
Matures one to two weeks earlier than Mastodon. Cob a little thicker than the length ofa grain. 
The New Klondike was brought to my attention a few years ago, and after a thorough trial I 
became convinced that I hada corn that could be honestly reeommended as a rival of the famous 
Mastodon. To make assurance doubly sure I had it grown not merely in a small, experimental 
way, but on a large scale, under ordinary field culture, by one of my seed corn growers, who an- 
nually produces 1,000 bushels of Mastodon for my trade. This afforded an excellent comparative 
test. The results surprised everybody connected with 
the trial. Mastodon on the farm has yielded for years 
never less than 90 to 125 bushels of shelled corn per 
acre. Klondike reached 125 bushels per acre the first £ 
year it was tried there. 
The illustration on this page is an exact reproduc- 
tion of an average ear. The color is a very deep yel- 
low. The ear is borne low on the stalk, and there 
are often two ears and sometimes three. The fodder 
is abundant, but not coarse. The grain is deep and § 
the ears are well filled. The corn may be ground 
almost as soon as husked, as it dries rapidly. 
This year I offer an improved Klondike that will 
fully equal in yield and every other quality the 
Klondike that | have been furnishing my customers 
for the last five years, but above everything else, is 
at least a week earlier, this fact making it infinite- 
ly more valuable than ever before. I have never 
had sufficient seed to meet the demands, and this 
year my supply is limited to less than 800 bushels.

SNOW WHITE DENT CORN. 
Has proven the grandest milling corn in the 
world, and far above all other varieties of white 
corn in its average yield and germinating power. 
In Snow White Dent we have a corn that 
combines very white color with large size, com- 
pactness and smoothness of grain and sure ma- 
turity. It bas a medium ear and grows very 
large, compact, close set grains well filled out. 
Cob medium size, very white. and weighing 
about 744 pounds per 70 pounds of ear 
Taking all points into consideration, Sncw 
: > White Dent is the coming white variety for 
= milling and all other purposes. The year 1901 
was the first time it was offered for sale by any 
one, when it brought £5.00 per bushel, and nct 
more than one bushel was sold to asingle custo- 
mer. Iam now able to offer it in quantity at 
the following reasonable prices: Packet, 10 ets.; 
— 5 pound, 80 cts.; 8 pounds, 75 cts., by mail, post- 
yaid. Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $2.00; 2 bushels, $8.75,

MINNESOTA KING. 
A Yellow Half-Dent Northern Field Corn. 
This famous eight-rowed field corn is neither 
a dent por 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 Minnesota King. it 
is able to endure conditions of both flood ard 
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 and early 
autumn frosts make corn an uncertain crop. 
The illustration gives an idea of the appear- 
ance of the ear, and at once indicates that the 
corn is early and semi-hardy. The grain is very 
’ broad and of an extremely clear, golden color. 
The eight-rowed ear is of good size and shape, 
with a small cob.
