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 AgricaUurist 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 Early Mastodon combines large yield, large grains and 

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

 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 Brie. 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 Early Yellow Dent."

Boone County White 



Without doubt this is one of 

 the largest yielding white corns 

 known. Its kernels are pure 

 white, very deep and moderately 

 rough. The cob averages from 9 

 to 11 inches In length, and pro- 

 duces the maximum amount of 

 shelled corn, owing to its cylin- 

 drical shape. It grows strong 

 and rank, and makes an unus- 

 ually heavy fodder growth. Pro- 

 ducing a fine white meal it is 

 valuable for milling purposes, 

 Matures In from 120 to 125 days.
