m Maule's Improved Mastodon 



The Earliest of all the Large Eared Yellow Dent Varieties 

 Has a Record of 213 Bushels of Shelled Corn to the Acre 



It is the largest eared, extra early yellow dent corn; the ears measuring 

 9 to 12 inches in length, and from 7$ to 8 inches in circumference, with 

 16 to 22 rows of grains, and averaging" at husking time nearly one pound 

 each. Improved Mastodon outyields any other variety ripening at the 

 same time. 



It makes a rapid, strong and rank growth, attaining a height of 9 to 10 

 feet, often producing 2 to 3 large ears to a stalk. The foliage is large, 

 healthy and makes unusually fine fodder and is one of the best varieties 

 for that purpose. 



We consider Improved Mastodon the variety to plant where an extra 

 early, large eared corn is wanted that will mature in 95 to 100 days 

 under favorable growing conditions. It makes fine looking shelled corn, 

 showing two shades, a golden yellow with a white cap. 



There has been a brisk demand 

 for this corn for years past, and 

 our supply has not infrequently 

 been completely exhausted early 

 in the season. We regret to be- 

 lieve that unscrupulous dealers 

 have sold a great deal of inferior 

 or impure seed for Mastodon. Our 

 suggestion is, therefore, that pur- 

 chases be made only from re- 

 liable neighbors who have raised 

 the stock or that orders be sent di- 

 rect to us at 21st and Arch Streets, 

 Philadelphia, for the true head- 

 quarters seed.

Highly Bred; a Large Yielder 



A highly bred variety of white 

 dent corn of extra large size. The 

 large stalk grows from 10 to 12 

 feet high with an abundance of 

 foliasre, and like all other white 

 grained varieties, is the best for 

 old, thin or poor soil. The ears 

 average 9 to 11 inches in length, 

 containing 16 to 22 rows. The cob 

 is medium large and white in 

 color. The very deep kernels are 

 pearly white and moderately rough. 

 In localities where it has plenty of 

 time to ripen, it is particularly 

 valuable, maturing in about 120 

 days. This corn produces a fine 

 white meal, making it a valuable 

 variety for milling.
