CLARK'S NEW EARLY MASTADON— Called by some Maule's and 

 Improved Early Mastadon. I quote the introducer's description 

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

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

 quick and makes the linest appearing shelled corn of them all, it 

 being purely Dent of two shades of whit© 

 and yellow. To convince your customer* 

 that it will ripen with them just say that 

 it was grown within eight miles of Lake 

 Erie." Choicest seed, postpaid qt. 20c.

IlLEY'S FAVORITE— The originator of this variety says: "The 

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

 feedingquality is the great amount of shell com to cob. I origi- 

 nated this corn fifteen years ago by hybridizing Golden yellow 

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

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

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

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

 soil with the necessary fertility to perfectly develop the com, 

 then give thorough cultivation. In selecting the seed each year 

 to plant the plot, 1 have avoided extremes either way, but have 

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

 of medium height, making the special point of selecting as small a 

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