Maule's Sweet or 



Earliest and Second-Early White Varieties 



206 Maule's Ideal Early $ 



If you want delicious corn on your table on July 4th, plant this extremely hardy, early, large-eared variety. 

 In this early corn we have a variety which has a sweetness equal to most true Sweet or Sugar CornB. It 

 will germinate satisfactorily under conditions which would spell failure to the regular Sweet Corn and can 

 safely be planted much earlier. It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sandy or heavy. The stalks grow 

 6 ft. tall, a characteristic that will appeal to the gardener who is interested in securing a crop of fodder 

 besides a heavy yield of ears. Our own claims for this variety could be based on prejudice but when 

 grower after grower comes back to us year after year usually for an increased quantity of Maule's Ideal 

 Early Sweet Corn, even the skeptical must realize that it must have desirable characteristics. The 12 

 rows of pearly white grains are exceedingly sweet and tasty. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 

 5 lbs. $1.35; 10 lbs. $2.50, postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. S2.85; 25 lbs. S4.50; 50 lbs. S8.50; 100 lbs

214 Maule's First of All 



An Extra Early, Large Eared, True Sweet Corn (55 days) 



A handsome variety of extra early maturity and a quality that will appeal to those who appreciate the 

 delicate, sweet and fine flavor found in the best of Sweet Corns. It produces 8 or 10 rows of pearly white 

 grains on a large pink cob, and carries more ears per plant than any other early variety. It is especially 

 desirable for gardeners who wish to benefit from the high prices obtained by being the first on the market 

 with home-grown Sweet Corn. It is likely to bring double the price that other varieties command later. 

 The plants make a growth of moderate height which makes it possible to plant them more closely than the 

 taller growing varieties. If this is done the vield from a given area is increased quite a bit, making this 

 variety particularly profitable. Pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.35; 10 lbs. $2.50, 

 postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. S2.85; 25 lbs. S4.50; 50 lbs. S8.50; 100 lbs. $16.00. 



219 Howling Mob Early, Large, Thick, Sweet Ears (65 days) 



It is interesting to know how this splendid early variety came to be named Howling Mob. The originator, 

 a market grower, used to take it to market where it was sold in competition against other varieties. Cus- 

 tomers soon came to recognize its outstanding sweetness and delicious flavor, and soon after opening his 

 stand crowds gathered about it clamoring to get a supply. It was truly a "Howling Mob" that besieged 

 the grower day after day. Nothing else is as much proof of quality in a vegetable than popular demand. 

 We fully agree that it is an excellent, early white sweet corn for both market use and home growing. 

 The ears are 7 to f) in. long and have 12 to 16 rows of pearly white grains. The plants grow about 5 ft. 

 tall, bearing two ears each. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.20; 10 lbs. $2.15, postpaid.

 it from us in quantities ever Bince it was introduced many years ago. It has won national fame for itself 

 on the merits it possesses. Again and again customers have written us that they consider it the most

210 Burpee's DeliciOUS Sweet Flavored (70 days)

 Bantam Sweet Corn, though the ears are considerably larger and the grains are of a beautiful pearly white 

 color. This resemblance is not just superficial but due to the fact that it has been derived from Golden 

 Bantam and has inherited not only the depth and breadth of the kernels but also a good amount of the 

 wonderful flavor of the famous Golden Bantam. It makes a strong growth, 5 to 7 ft. high. Well pro- 

 tected by a strong firm husk is an ear measuring close to 8 in. in length with 12 or 14 rows of broad deep
