WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 
Maule’s Improved Mastodon Corn 
The Earliest of all the Large Eared Varieties 
Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre 
In the celebrated American Agriculturist corn contest, Imp. 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 I furnished the seed. 
There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply 
has not infrequently been completely exhausted early in the season. I regret 
to believe that unscrupulous dealers have sold a great deal of inferior or impure 
seed under the name of Mastodon, thus deceiving their customers and injuring 
the reputation of a noble variety of corn. My suggestion is, therefore, that 
purchases be made only from reliable neighbors who have raised the stock or 
that orders be sent direct to me at 1711 Filbert street, Philadelphia, for the 
true headquarters seed, and run no risk. 
Maule’s Improved Harly Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and 
extra early quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. C. 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 
Mastodon to be the best of all. He truly says that it is a high bred corn of 
beautiful color. Nothing surpasses it in number of rows on cob, and in depth 
of grains. It makes fine looking shelled corn, showing two shades of color, 
and commanding the highest price in market. 
Mr. Clark further states that it fully withstands the rigor of this Northern 
climate, makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attains a good height, 
“and will outyield any corn ever grown in this section. * * * It was grown 
and ripened in from 96 to 110 days within eight miles of Lake Hrie. Fields 
planted June 1 were cut September 15.” 
“The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earlier than Golden Beauty, \ 
growing side by side, and planted the same week. How can it be otherwise? 
It is crossed with the two earliest corns ever grown in the North—the White 
Cap and Harly Yellow Dent.” .
