CORN IS KING, AND THE “GOLD KING” 
IS THE KING CF CORN. 
Clinton Co., Pa., Aug. 14, 1S97. 
“ Oscar Brooks has an extra piece of GOLD KING corn grown frojn your 
seed. It lias from two to three ears on almost every stalk. IT IS A GRAND 
SIGHT TO BEIIOLD. All the farmers here who bought Gold King corn are 
greatly pleased with it. B. W. VALLKN. 
C. S. Clark, of Ohio, is the greatest corn specialist in the world. We give 
his description of the Gold King in his own words. 
“THE GOLD KING will sell on sight; will sell by sample; will catch 
any man's eye who grows corn. Produce a more beautiful corn, and my check 
for Five Hundred Dollars is ready.’; 
A field of our Gold King Corn Grown in Huron County, Ohio. It is considered 
the finest piece of corn ever grown in Huron County. 
Il-C f~ J j n C are so l° n g> cobs so small, ears of such 
* ^ ^ ^ * Cl 1 1 13 size that no man living can find fault 
with it. And on sight, in the bag, in the field, or in the crib, 
beats any corn I ever saw and Clark sees them all. If your 
agents can’t sell this corn to every eight farmers out of ten 1 lose 
my guess. Originated in Eric Co., 0., and is the result of care- 
ful breeding and selection. The ears grow large with small red 
cobs, and have from 12 to 24 rows on each cob. The grains are 
longer than any other corn in cultivation and being a strong, 
rank grower will outyield any other yellow corn in the world. 
It will mature in 10() days so that it is very valuable for the 
growers in all corn belts of the country. Its great merit lies in 
the fact that it is a natural grower and sure to make a crop 
where other sorts fail. It has the most beautiful yellow color, 
thus its name, 
GOLD KING. 
The stalks grow to a good size and are very stroug resisting wind and storm to 
a remarkable degree. Three grains of this corn have been known to measure 
two inches in length and being a high colored yellow. It 
Brings the Highest Market Price. 
No words or description can do justice to this porn which outclasses any other 
yellow variety in cultivation. This is the second year of its introduction We 
practically control all the seed and warrant every pound we sell to be true to 
name to this extent, that if it fails we will either refund the purchase price 
or refill the order free of cost at our next delivery.
