Northrup, King & Co., Seed Growers, Minneapolis, Minn. 13. IMPROVED riASTODON CORN. In the celebrated. American Agriculturist Corn Con- test, Mastodon Corn outyielded by far every other variety of Yellow Corn. Alfred Rose of Yates County, N. Y. raised on one acre 15,898 FOUNDS of CORN ON THE EAR which made 213 BUSHELS of SHELLED CORN. The originator states: "The Early Mastodon corn, named Mastodon be- cause of its large ears, has been brought to its present standard by careful selection. The seed trade and large growers of field corn have for many years been anxiously inquiring for a large-eared, yet early .Dent Corn, and to supply their wants I have for years been studying it up, and until I got up this corn was not fully satisfied. Many sorts have been tried and found wanting. In the Mastodon your customers will find a high-bred corn, which will please them. I claim for this corn the largest number of rows on cob, and the deepest, longest grains of any corn ever originated. It grows very rapid, strong and rank, at a medium height, and will out-yield any corn ever grown in this section. You cannot too highly recom- mend this corn to your customers. I have grown thou- sands of bushels of Golden Beauty, and the Mastodon is from three weeks to one month earlier, growing side by side and planted the same week; and again Mastodon Corn is from one week to ten days earlier than any Learn- ing Corn grown. Price for Mastodon Corn: Large Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c, postpaid: by express or freight, peck, 50ci bu.,$; 2bu.,$; lObu. $8,50. Bags included. NOTE. While Mastodon Corn has thoroughly estab- lished itself as the earliest of the large oared varieties, and is early as compared with Golden Beauty, Learning, and other standard late sorts, we do not as yet recom- mend it for general planting north of latitude 43.
