MONROE * FLINT. 
The longest eared Flint Corn in existence. It is an 
8 rowed yellow variety. 
DENT VARIETIES OF CORN, 
as a rule, yield heavier than Flint. Almost every farmer who grows corn wants to 
grow the Dent, but those living in the New England and Northwestern States and 
Canada are unable to do so as the growing season is not long enough for the Dent 
varieties to ripen, consequently such farmers have to grow the Flint instead. Of 
course, these farmers, have felt that they have been laboring under a disadvantage 
on that account. But the introduction of the Eight- Rowed Yellow Flint will change 
all this, as it is not only one of the earliest Flint varieties in existence but it is also 
an enormous yielder, outyielding many of the Dent varieties in general cultivation. 
THE EARS AVERAGE A CONSIDERABLE LONGER 
than any Dent corn grown, the difference in the thickness of the ear being offset by 
the extreme length, many of the ears measuring from 12 to 13 inches and in some 
instances even 14 inches long. 
THE STALKS GROW TO A GOOD HEIGHT 
and nearly everyone has two ears and many of them three ears each. The picture 
of the ear was made from nature, but we were obliged to greatly reduce it in size as 
the pages of our catalogue are not large enough to show a full sized ear. 
THE MONROE FLINT 
is the result of careful selection extending over a long period of years. The intro- 
duction of the Monroe Flint Corn will be to the history of corn what the introduc- 
tion of the Early Rose was to the history of potatoes — an event to be looked back 
at as marking a great step in advance. 
AS SCORES OF FARMERS 
made anywhere from five to hundreds of dollars each, by getting into the seed of 
the Early Rose at the start and selling their crops to their neighbors for seed, so you 
can make money by getting into the seed of the Monroe Flint Corn and selling 
your crop to your neighbors, in addition to having the longest eared and heaviest 
yielding Yellow Flint Corn in existence yourself. This is an opportunity you can- 
not afford to neglect. 
ONE PECK WILL EASILY PLANT AN ACRE OR MORE. 
One acre, with a favorable season and good soil and cultivation, will produce 
anywhere from 100 to 150 bushels. Aten acre field of this corn has yielded 128 
bushels per acre. One peck planted next spring will produce enough for all your 
planting the year following, and enough to supply your neighbors, also, who will 
gladly buy every bushel you have to spare at a good advance over the market price 
when they see how far superior it is to the varieties they have been growing. 
We would not advise any farmer who is living in a section where Dent varieties 
can be grown, to grow the Monroe Flint; but in all sections where it is necessary to 
grow a Flint corn, the Monroe Flint is the corn to plant. It will outyield any other 
Flint corn in existence at least 50 per cent. , in fact, it is an 
ENORMOUS YIELDER. 
We would like to ask every farmer who has been growing Flint varieties: How 
many bushels of shelled corn per acre have you averaged the past five or ten years, 
and how much has each bushel of shelled corn cost you per bushel to grow ? With 
the Monroe Flint you can increase your yield from 50 to 100 per cent, and thus 
decrease the cost price per bushel of growing your corn. Do not increase your 
acreage, but increase your yield per acre by planting this wonderful variety.
