 Improved Early Masiadon. 1 quote the intioducer's descni iiurii 

 as follows: "I claim that it is the largest eared early Dent cori> 

 ever seen in this section of the country. It grows strong, rank, 

 quick and makes the linest appearing shelled corn oi ihem all, it 

 being purely Dent of two shades of white 

 and yellow. To convince your customers 

 that it will ripen with them just say that 

 it was grown within eight miles of Lake 

 Eric." Choicest seed, postpaid qt 20c>

THE IOWA SILVER MINE 



_Stalk grows to a height 

 of about seven or eight 

 feet and sets the ears about three and one-half to four feet from 

 the ground, just the right height for easy picking. Ears measur- 

 ing from ten to twelve inches in lengta and weighing one and one- 

 half pounds are not uncommon. Just think of it 47 ears make a 

 bushel. It is a very hardy variety, and a great drought resister, 

 and summing it all up, it's the best corn ever 

 introduced. The acme of perfection, unsur- 

 passed and unsurpassable. The largest ear 

 100-day corn in existence. We challenge 

 eompetition. Don't fail to try it. Send in

 est stock is sold.

RILEY'S FAVORITE— The originator of this variety Si.ys: "The 

 peculiar merit of point of excellency that I claim for its superior 

 feeding quality is the gi-eat amount of shell corn to cob. I origi- 

 nated this corn fifteen years ago by hybridizing Golden yellow 

 a very large late corn with Sibley's Pride of the North, a very 

 deep grain early corn. Since that time, each year, I have im- 



g roved it by the following method : I select a plot containing one- 

 alf an acre, entirely away from any other corn; I supply the 

 soil with the necessary fertility to perfectly develop the corn, 

 then give thorough cultivation. In selecting the seed each year 

 to plant the plot, I have avoided extremes either way, but have 

 selected as my standard ear.one of medium size and from a stalk 

 of medium heigh t,making the special point of selecting as small a 

 cob as possible." Choicest stock seed, postpaid qt. 20c. At pur-
