Second-Early and Main Crop White Varieties 



205 Maule's Colossal Early 



We Claim That This is the Finest Large Eared 

 Sugar Corn in Existence (70 days) 



When a variety of Sweet Corn not only holds its own for a period of over 22 years but 

 its sales increase with every season, it simply must be good. While its days to mature 

 have been given above as 70, we know of many instances where, due to favorable con- 

 ditions, it has produced its first ears within 58 to 02 days after planting. That, of course, 

 is most unusual for a corn of this size and character. Quality in Sweet Corn is, however, 

 more important for its popularity than season of maturity. You must taste freshly- 

 pioked Maule's Colossal before you can realize just how good it is. With most people 

 quantity must go hand in hand with quality, and Maule's Colossal Early combines the 

 two in a most generous measure. The ears are 7 to 9 in. long and frequently 2 to 3 in. 

 thick with 12 or 14 rows of large sweet kernels that fairly melt in your mouth. The 

 plants are 6 to 7 ft. tall, many of them carrying 2 to 3 ears on a stalk.

218 Black Mexican A Real Quality Corn (70 days) 



This is a Sweet Corn of the choicest quality. When ready for the table the kernels show

216 Country Gentleman or Improved Shoe Peg® 



The Best Known and Most Widely Planted Sweet Corn (80 days) 



The variety is easily recognized by the irregular arrangement of the kernels. The seeds 

 also are quite distinct. Being long and narrow the variety has earned the byname Shoe 

 Peg Corn. The ears are quite large, 7 to 8 in. long, with a small white cob thickly 

 covered with long slender white grains of exceptional sweetness. The plants carry as 

 many as three ears each. Splendid for home, market, and canning. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c;

221 Sto well's Evergreen 



This is a Standard Main-Crop Variety (80 days) 



Many new varieties have come into existence since the day Stowell's Evergreen was first 

 offered for sale, yet it is more popular today than it has been ever before. The answer 

 to this is quality, exceptional quality! The ears are 8 to 9 in. long. They are set with 

 16 or 18 rows of very deep, sweet kernels. Continued selection year after year has given 

 our strain a uniformity which was lacking in former years. It has an enviable reputation 

 for home growing, market, and canning. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c;

222 Maule's "Lead All" Evergreens 



A Most Productive Late Type of Evergreen Sweet Corn 

 with Extra Large Size Ears of Superb Quality (85 days) 



In introducing this corn some years ago we realized that increased size linked with 

 superior quality were most important features that would appeal to home gardeners and 

 market growers. Maule's "Lead All" Evergreen combines extra large size with the 

 superb quality found in other sweet corns of the Evergreen type. It produces truly 

 handsome ears which are sweeter and larger than either Country Gentleman or Sto- 

 well's Evergreen. The plants grow 8 to 9 ft. tall, an indication of their vigorous habit 

 and productiveness. Most of the plants produce two fine well-developed ears measuring 

 anywhere from 8 to 10 in. in length. They are thick and heavy, closely set with 16 or 

 18 rows of large, white, sweet grains. Noted for its drought-resistant qualities. Retains 

 its fine flavor better than most other varieties. Its late maturity helps considerably to 

 prolong the corn season. Pkt. 15c; Vz lb. 30c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c; 5 lbs. SI. 60; 

 10 lbs. $3.05, postpaid. Not prepaid: 15 lbs. $3.75; 25 lbs. $6.00; 50 lbs. $11.50; 

 100 lbs. $22.00. 



228 Maule's Late Mammoth 



(90 days) 



Late varieties of Sweet Corn, while perhaps not as valuable as extra early varieties, 

 nevertheless fill an important place and make it possible to provide for a continuous 

 supply of good fresh corn from plantings made all at one time. Maule's Late Mammoth 

 requires fully 90 days to come to maturity. It is of tall growth, bearing large, thick, 

 heavy ears completely covered with 16 rows of large, deep, luscious, sweet, pearly white 

 kernels. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c; 5 lbs. S1.25; 10 lbs. $2.25 postpaid. 

 Not prepaid: 15 lbs. $2.55; 25 lbs. $4.00; 50 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $14.00. 



225 Maule's Improved Giant 



The Best of the Large Eared Late Sweet Corn (90 days) 



This variety will appeal to those who realize the importance of growing some late Sweet 

 Corn and we endorse it as the finest for this purpose. It is hard to beat for sweetness, 

 succulence, size of grain, and fine table quality. The plants make a strong, upright 

 growth supported by an abundance of roots which give good stability to the plants. 

 While ears 10 in. long are considered already very large, Maule's Improved Giant often 

 produces ears which measure as much as 12 in. in length with 14 or 16 rows of kernels 

 of the highest quality. Pkt. 10c; Vz lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c; 5 lbs. $1.55;
