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. 



Iu 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 1213 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, and on the farm of George 

 Gartner, Pawnee couuty, Nebraska, it produced 171 bushels of shelled corn to 

 the acre. Iu both cases I furnished the seed. 



There has been a brisk demand for this corn for years past, and my supply 

 has uot 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 suggestiou 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. 



Mauie's Improved Early Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and 

 extra early quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. G. S. 

 Glark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of seed corn in America. Mr. 

 Glark 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. Nothiug surpasses it iu number of rows on cob, and iu depth 

 of grains. It makes hue 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 iu from 9G to 110 days within eight miles of Lake Erie." Fields 

 planted June 1 were cut September 15. 



"The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earler 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 Early How Dent."
