- MILLS’ 20th ANNIVERSARY YELLOW DENT CORN 
This is the great Corn novelty we offered in sample lots for testing in 1907 with a special prize to the person producing the 
longest perfect ear of Corn. There was great interest taken in this new Corn last season and it was tested by thousands of our 
customers in different sections of the country and from the sample ears sent us, we are fully convinced it is one of the grand¬ 
est varieties of Yellow Dent Corn we have ever introduced. (See the illustration carefully engraved from sample ears sent in.) 
From the great assortment of ears from this Corn delivered to us, we selected the longest and most perfect ear, which won 
the prize; and we have also selected a large number of ears as shown in the illustration, which will readily give our customers 
an idea what a handsome variety of Corn it is. We have received thousands of reports praising this new Corn and we are 
sure no one can make a mistake in planting a quantity of it this season. We would like to publish the reports we have re¬ 
ceived, but for lack of space it is impossible for us to do so. 
This handsome Yellow Dent variety grows large and compact with close deep set grains and cures quickly on account of the 
very small cob. The ears are very large and symmetrical; while the color is ahandsome gold coin yellow. The stalks grow strong 
and vigorous, producing a luxuriant growth of foliage. It is a very deep rooted variety and will stand dry weather to a sur¬ 
prisingly degree. The ears are borne low down on the stalk and it is not uncommon for single stalks to produce three large 
perfect ears. It matures in 85 to 95 days of average Corn weather and our customers say it will give a greater yield of fine 
grain than any other sort they have ever tested. 
We do not hesitate to say that all points considered—it’s beautiful color, small cob, long yellow grain, large ears—it is the 
finest Yellow Dent Corn ever introduced and each ci*stomer who gives it a trial will be fully convinced that it is the best 85 to 
95 day Com ever grown. 
This variety has received such great praise where 
ever grown that' we have decided to make it a specialty 
this season._ We have grown a crop of very choice 
seed which is as perfect as any seed Corn can be, all 
of which has been carefully Hand Picked and is of the 
strongest vitality. As there are thousands of our 
customers who will want to grow this Corn in 1908 
and our crop will not enable us to offer large quanti¬ 
ties, we can sell not more than three pounds to any 
one person this year. We want the seed as widely 
distributed as possible among farmers in all sections 
of the country and offer special inducements to farm¬ 
ers or others who will club together and send us Club 
Orders. (See offer below and page 35 for special in¬ 
ducements for Club Orders.)

1907 P1JIZE WINM’.R 
The larg-e number of prize ears of Com receiv¬ 
ed before November 1st was carefully examined 
and considered as to the longest perfect ear, and 
we found George S. Hasler, of Warsaw, Ind., 
was the -successful one winning the Shetland 
Pony. The length of this ear, was 14 inches and 
is shown on the top of the great pyramid of 
prize ears. 
For want of space we print only a few of the 
thousands of letters accompanying the sample 
ears of Corn sent in by customers : 
Mr. George S. Hasler. Warsaw, Ind., writes - 
F. B. Mills Co.. Rose Hill. N. Y. 
You have a great variety of Dent Corn. It 
is an enormous yielder, producing very long per¬ 
fect ears. I send you one 14 inches long. 
Mr. F. Snow. Andover, Mass., writes : 
F, B. Mills Co., Rose Hill, N. Y. 
On the 14th inst. I sent you two sample ears 
of your 20th Anniversary Corn. The 
season in this vicinity was a severe one. 
No rain from June until September and 
that we succeeded as well with it seems 
strange. Some of the stalks grew 13 
feet high and many of them had three 
ears on each, which created a greatdeal 
of interest in this neighborhood. 
Ward Stanford, Leon, Iowa, writes • 
F. B. Mills Co., Rose Hill. N. Y. 
The Corn did fine and I raised 
a splendid crop of it. I send you 
a. large ear. 
P. M. Burton, New River Depot. 
Va., writes: 
F. B. Mills Co., Rose Hill. 
N. Y. 
Your Corn is a great va¬ 
riety. I send you an ear 
12 Vz inches long.
