THE WONDER OF THE CORN WORLD. 



Since its introduction more seed of this variety has been sold than any 

 sort ever Introduced, and more buslisls of it are now used by the seed trade 

 in filling- orders than any other variety of field corn. This, in itself is a o-reat 

 recommendation for the merit of the Mastadon corn. The Mastadon corn has 

 the longest grains and largest ears of any 100-day corn in cultivation and 

 will outyleld anj* corn in the world. In the celebrated American Agricultur- 

 ist corn contest it far outyielded every other yellow corn in America Alfred 

 Rose, of Yates County, N. Y., grew on one acre 15,898 pounds of ears or 213 

 bushels of shelled corn, and George Gartner, Pawnee County, Neb grew 

 from, one acre 11,380 pounds of ears of 171 bushels, of shelled corn The 

 largest yield of corn ever known in Ohio was a field of Mastadon grown on 

 the Sage farm in 1894. We can produce any . amount .of testimonials .from 

 reliable farmers of yields of over l-OO bushels shelled corn per acre ' It is the 

 strongest grower and largest yielding corn in cultivation. It husks easy for 

 so large a corn and shells easy, and has the longest grains of any kind we 

 know of. , Any one wishing proof of the above yield can obtain same hv 

 writing Alfred Rose^ of Penn Yan, Yates County, N. Y. We have each year 

 carefully selected our stock of this corn until now we have a fixed pure tvpp>

 from the originator boy only of us. 1.600 grains have been counted on one 

 cob. Ears average 9 to 11 and 13 Inches long, 30 to 36 rows on the cobs, 

 many stalks bearing 3 to 5 large earss, some ears weighing 3 lbs. each and

 lifteen bushels of sheued corn were grown on an acre. Stalks grow to a height of seven 

 to eight feet, ears set three and one-half to four feet from the gronnd. The ears are 

 uniform in size and shape, with 16 to 20 rows of pure white kernels set on a small, 

 white cob; ears welllilled from butt to tip. The cob dries out rapidly, so th^it it is 

 ready for market very early. Seventy pounds in the ear will make 62 pounds shelled. 

 It IS hardy, a great drought resister and will give satisfation wherever planted.
