Austin’s Colossal 
Yellow Dent Corn 
A wonder in large size of ears, uniformly over a 
foot in length, as shown in photograph alongside 
The Highest Average Yielder 
The writer first saw this new corn wliile visiting the Pan-Ameri¬ 
can Exposition at Bufl'alo, in 1901. Of the hundreds of varieties 
there exhibited, from almost every State in the Union, it carried 
off the honors, and I feel justly proud in being the first to procure 
the seed from its experienced originator, itlr. PI. W. Austin, to 
ofler for sale. The yield on the farm of the originator in past 
seasons hasaveraged over 100 bushels to the acre, and in flie most un¬ 
favorable seasons it has never given anything but a good yield of its 
magnificent ears, borne two to a stalk, ripening in 115 to 126 days 
from planting ; grain deep, rich yellow, very heavy, and will sell for 
the highest prices on any market in the land ; stalks medium, not too 
large, and produce enormously on both light and heavy land. Prices 
for 1907: lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, postpaid ; by freight or ex¬ 
press, sacks included, j)eck, 60c.; bush., $1.75; bag of 2 bush, for 
$3.25. On ear, 25 eara for $1.75 ; 50 ears for $3.00 ; 100 ears for $5.00. 
Improved Learning Corn 
I feel it a great honor to have been the first to call attention to 
the great value of the True Improved Learning Corn, nineteen 
years ago, since which time it has grown in popularity e.ach season, 
and is now catalogued by nearly every seedsman in America. It is 
probably more largely plajited now, both in the Northern an<l South- 
erii State.a, than any other field corn known. This and the lOO-Day 
Bristol Corn, on the j)receding jiage, are by farthe earliest and best 
large-eared Karly Yellow I)ent Corns in cultivation. The ears are 
large and handsome, with good, deep grain, of deep orange color 
and small red cob. Stalks grow to medium size (not large), with few 
suckeie, slender ami leafy, making most excellent fodder, producini; 
two eood cans to each stalk ; husks and shells easil)'. It riiiens in i)0 
to 100 days, and never fa Is to make a good crop even in dry Eeasons, 
by reason of its eai line.«8 in maturing and strong, vigorous growth. 
One hundred and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been grown 
to the acre on good corn ground. It is also adapted to a greater 
variety of soils than other varieties, producing unusually well on 
light or heavy land, where other varieties would not thrive, and also 
in the extreme Northern States and Canada, where it has become 
very jioimlar for fodder and ensilage purposes. Much of these called 
I.eaining Corn of other catalogues is not the true stock as originated 
and imjiroved by lilr. Learning. tVe offer seed grown by ourselves in 
Chester County, Pa., from Mr. Learning's original improved strain. 
Prices, by mail, postpaid, pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c.i by freighter 
express, bags included, qt, 15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., $1.40; sack of 2 
bush., $2.e0; 10 bush, and over, $1.25 per bush.; ears, 60 for $2.60; 
100 for $4..50.

SUCCESS IS IN THE BLOOD 
There are men whom Fate can never keep down—they inarch forward in a jaunty manner and 
take by divine right the best of everything that comes from the earth. They are ever alert and alive 
to any goorl things that may come their way, and WHEN they come they simply take hold of them, 
and, tarrying not, move steadily on.
