WINTER QUEEN.—Probably the most desirable winter celery 
ever introduced, keeping until March, April and even May if desired. 
It is short, stout, thick and heavy, with double the amount of heart of 
any other celery, a habit of growth which gives it truly remarkable 
value. The leaves blanch to beautiful creamy white, and are firm 
and solid. The flavor is sweet, nutty and delicious, leaving nothing to

is used for flavoring, and is in wide demand. Culture is 
the same as celery, except that it requires no hilling. Is early and 
smooth. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 Ib., 40 cts.; lb., $1.50. 

Sweet or Sugar Corns. 
CULTURE.—Sweet corn always does well on sod land, or where clover 
has been turned down. Plant when danger. of frost is over, in hills 2x3 
feet, or 3x4 feet, according to variety. Give frequent and continued 

shallow culture. Leave three stalks to the hill, and make successional 
plantings until nearly mid-summer. Use one quart for 600 hills; six to 
eight quarts per acre. Cover seed with an inch of soil. 

An Improved Ideal Sugar Corn. 
When you harvest your crop, you have Stowell’s 
Evergreen ears, with its deep grain, and far surpassing it in its deli- 
cious quality; therefore I suggest its name should be Ideal Evergreen.” 
This new corn, in foliage, general productiveness and characteristics, 
resembles very much Maule’s Ideal Early Corn, but is sweeter and at 
The originator of Maule’s Ideal Early Corn, Mr. Ball, has been trying 
for years to develop a variety of corn that would equal Ideal in earli- 
ness and other good qualities, and also be a true sugar corn. My Ideal 
Early Corn, offered on the opposite page, is simply delicious in flavor, 
and preferred by many to every other sugar corn, but is not a true 
sugar corn. This is the result of Mr. Ball’s experiment: 
“When I first originated the Maule’s Ideal Early Corn I knewI had 
produced a money maker for the market gardener that would beat 
anything in its line in existence, but I was not satisfied. I started with 
the Early Ideal as one of its parents, using Stowell’s Evergreen and 
late Mammoth for crossing. I tried these crosses for four years with- 
out success; but in my seventh year’s trial I noticed a stalk exactly like 
Ideal Early, equally as early, which produced an ear like Evergreen. I 
earefully preserved this and planted it by iiself, carefully watching 
results, which were more than satisfactory, for in this the third year 
since I first discovered this remarkable ear, it still holds its type. exact- 
ly like Ideal Early in growth of stalk, almost sucker proof, and only two 

or three days later. 
the same time two or three days later. I bought all of this corn Mr. 
Ball raised, paying him $14.00 per bushel, which amounted to only 10 
bushels, too small a quantity to offer in the regular way, so lam going 
to give a packet of this corn to every customer who may order as much 
as $1.00 worth of the Maule’s Ideal Early Corn offered on the opposite 
page. In other words, if you order $1.00 worth of Maule’s Ideal Early 
Corn when ordering your other seeds, and mention you would like to 
have it, we will send you a packet of Improved Ideal free of charge. 
This corn is not for sale and cannot be procured in any other way. I 
want reports of the comparative tests of these two corns, and will be 
very much obliged to ail my friends who send reports to reach me 
before October 1, 1910.
