GOLD KING. 
Corn is King, and the GOLD KING is the King of Corn. 
"Clinton Co., Pa., Aug. 14, 1897. 
"Oscar Brooks has an extra piece of GOLD KING corn grown from your 
seed. It has from two to three ears on almost every stalk. It is a grand 
sight to BEHOLD All the farmers here who bought GOLD KING corn are 
greatly pleased with it. R. W. VALLEN." 
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 i 3 :mi : .I;,*;I 
the finest piece of corn ever grown in Huron County. 
ITS GRAINS 
ARE so long, cobs so small, ears of such 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 agent can’t sell this corn to every eight farmers out of ten, 
I loose my guess. Originated in Erie Co. , O. , and is the result of 
careful 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 on any other corn in cultivation, and, being a 
strong, rank grower, will outyield any other yellow corn in the 
world. It will mature in 100 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 strong, 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 corn, which out- 
classes any other yellow variety in cultivation. This is the third 
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.
