shallow culture. Leave two or three stalks to the hill, and make suc- 
cessional plantings until nearly mid-summer. Use one quart for 6UU 
hills; six to eight quarts per acre. Cover seed with an inch of soil. 
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

The Finest Sugar Corn 
in Existence 
The first real rival of the Shoe Peg or 
Country Gentleman, as large as Stowell’s 
Evergreen, and of delicious flavor. 
Frequently matures fine large 
ears ten weeks from planting. 
Maule’s Colossal has three principal points that 
especially recommend it: 
First—Earliness. It has matured a crop in 458 to 62 
days under extraordinary circumstanees, but can gen- 
erally be depended upon to produce ears of marketable 
size within 70 days. 
Second—Flavor. It is the most delicious sugary 
corn you have ever eaten. 
Third—Size. It is undoubtedly the largest eared 
early sugar corn in existence, as the ears average 
from 7 to 9 inches in length, and frequently 24 to 3 
inches in diameter, with 12 to 14 rows of large sweet 
kernels that fairly melt in your mouth. 
Two or three eats are generally found on every 
stalk; it grows from 6 to 7 feet taii, which furnishes a 
most desirable fodder. 
Mr. C. S. Clark, of Ohio, one of the largest growers 
of sweet corn in America has this to say: 
“Your Colossal Sweet Corn planted May l4th, 1910, laid in 
the cold ground one month before it came up. ‘This was 
| due to the fact that May and the fore part of last June hold the 
record as the coldest months ever known in Ohio at this sea- 
son of the year. During all those four weeks of cold, this corn 
stuck and hung to life and grew, and we got a good stand of it, 
and it came on and made the best crop of sweet corn in North- 
ern Ohio where hundreds of acres of all Sorts are grown. 
“This is a fact, that itis the best field of sweet corn today in 
all this section. Therefore, we have a right to be more than 
pleased with this corn. The ears are nearly as large as Stow- 
ell’s, and it is sweet and tender and of fine quality, with fodder 
just as large and more ears per Stalk on the average. 
“Market gardeners, canners, hotels and the sweet corn grow- 
ers will appreciate having this variety to come in just after 
the early sorts are gone and before the late sorts are ready. It 
is avery strong grower, and we have neyer seen a sweetcorn 
which grows the ears so far away from the stalk on a long 
strong Shank, ears up 3 feet from the ground, making it the 
most convenient corn to pick off the stalk we ever saw.” 
_ We had a cropgrown in Connecticut by Mr. Willard, 
former President of the American Seed Trade Associa- 
tion. In writing to us he has this to say: 
“We are much pleased with the appearance of this new 
sweet corn, and think the name you have chosen, ‘Colossal,’ 
would be very appropriate. The prospect is for an exceedingly 
nice yield. Itis early for a large eared variety, and I believe 
will prove to be a very popular sort.” 
Colossal is a Genuine Money-Maker 
if There Ever Was One 
Read this story. A prominent market gardener of 
Philadelphia brought his first load of Colossal to mar- 
ket. It sold like hot cakes. The next time he came 
to town he had to put it under his stall so as not fo 
disappoint his customers of the week before. It sold 
as quickly as before. With his second planting peo- 
ple would not take good Stowell’s or Country Gen- 
tleman until they found him sold out of Colossal. 
This is only one case; there were hundreds similar, as 
this excellent Sugar Corn has become very popular 
among growers and canners everywhere. It does equal- 
ly as well for the amateur. Our supply of this variety 
is limited to only a few thousand bushels; therefore on 
account of the heavy demand, advise early orders.
