THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1914 



Maulers Improved Mastodon Com 



The Earliest of all the Large Eared Varieties 

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



In the celebrated American AgriGiilMirist 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 21st and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, for the true head- 

 quarters seed, and run no risk. 



Maule's Improved Early Mastodon combines large yield, large grains 

 f}^^^ ^^^^^''^ ®^i'ly quality to a remarkable degree. It originated with Mr. 

 C. S. Clark, of Ohio, probably the largest grower of seed corn in America. 

 Mr. (.lark 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 m depth of grains. It makes line 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 

 c^iiniate, 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 m from 95 to 100 days within eight miles of Lake Erie. Fields 

 planted June 1 were cut September 15." 



"The Mastodon is three weeks to one month earlier than Golden Beauty, 

 growmg side by side, and planted the same week. How can it be otherwise? 

 ttTt/.^I crossed with the two earliest corns ever grown in the North— the 

 White Cap and Early Yellow Dent."
