THE WONDER OF THE CORN WORLD. 
Since its introduction more seed of this variety has been sold than any 
sort ever introduced, and more bushels of it are now used by the seed trade 
in filling orders than any other variety of field corn. This, in itself, is a great 
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 outyield any 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 Cartner, 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 100 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 by 
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 type 
of this wonderful yielding- corn, and to obtain the genuine pure stock direct 
from the originator Iniy only of us. 1.600 grains have been counted on one 
cob* Ears average 9 to 11 and 12 inches long, 20 to 36 rows on the cobs, 
many stalks bearing 3 to 5 large ears, some ears weighing 2 lbs. each and 
the most handsome shape ever seen. We do not think too much can be 
claimed for this wonderful A^ariety. Lib. 25c, postpaid; pk. 50c, bu. $1.75, bag

the report was correct. Seed Corn is our great specialty, and we claim to be
