Austin's Colossal Yellow Dent 



AN ENTIRELY NEW AND REMARKABLE FIELD CORN. A perfect 

 wonder in large size of ears, uniformly over a foot in length 



The Highest Average Yielder 



This new corn excited the admiration 

 and wonder of thousands of farmers who 

 visited the Agricultural Building at the 

 Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, 

 in 1901. Of the hundreds of varie- 

 ties there exhibited, from almost every 

 State in the Union, it carried off the 

 honors, and we feel justly proud in being 

 the first seedsmen to procure the seed 

 from its experienced originator, Mr. H. 

 W. Austin, and to ofieritfor sale. The 

 yield on the farm of the originator the 

 past season was at the rate of 120 bushels 

 to the acre, and in the most unfavorable 

 seasons it has never given less than 100 

 bushels to the acre of its magnificent 

 ears, borne two to a stalk, ripening in 110 

 to 120 days from planting ; grain deep, 

 rich yellow, very heavy, and will sell 

 for the highest prices on any market in 

 the land ; stalks medium, not too large, 

 and produce enormously on both light 

 and heavv land. Prices for 1906 : lb., 

 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, postpaid ; by 

 freight or express, sacks included, peck, 

 65c.; bush., S2.00 ; bag of 2 bush, for 

 §3.75. On ear, 25 ears for $1.75 ; 50 ears 

 for S3.00 ; 100 ears for $5.00.
