THE FIRST LONG EARED TRUE S^VEET CORN. 



My careful tests of this sweet corn prove its sterling merit. The ears 

 measure 8 to 10 inches long and have 10 to 18 rows of grains. The major- 

 ity of the ears are 12 rowed. In color the kernels are pure white, and 

 are very sweet, tender and palatable. Kendel's Early Giant Is a pro- 

 lific variety, and matures its ears in from 60 to 72 days, depending on 

 location and character of soil. On warm, sandy land the ears are ready 

 In 60 days. The large, well filled and highly palatable ears command a 

 quick sale in any market where there is a demand for really choice 

 early sweet corn. The illustration shows the general characteristics 

 of the ear, excepting the size, which is much reduced. Packet, 10 cents; 

 pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, SI. 10; bushel, 84.00. 



Metropolitan Sweet Corn^ 



This fine new sweet corn matures just after First of All, and is one of 

 the best of the intermediate varieties. My personal opinion of it is very 

 high, owing to its behavior on my trial grounds. It is truly a fine type 

 of early or socond-early sweet corn. The strong stalks are five feet high, 

 each stalk bearing one or two ears about 9 inches long, with 10 or 12 rows 

 of grains. One of the best of the true early or Intermediate sweet corns. 

 It has a thick husk, and Is practically free from smut and worms on my 

 grounds. It will prove to be an admirable sweet corn for table or mar- 

 ket; particularly good for market or shipping. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 

 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, 81.40; bushel, 85.00. 



Maulers XX Sweet Corn^ 



FAMOUS FOR ITS DELICIOUS, SWEET, SUGARY FLAVOR. 



All who have ever planted Maule's XX want it again and again. IS 

 has won a national name and fame. It is fit for the table in 9 or 10 weeks' 

 from planting, and of inost delicious, sweet and sugary flavor. It remains 

 long in edible condition. The stalk is of comparatively dwarf habit, 

 seldom exceeding 4 to 5 feet in height. It produces 12 rowed to 16 rowed 

 ears as large as Sto well's Evergreen (9 to 10 Inches), the ears being set low 

 on the stalk. It grows well in midsummer, and may be sown as late as 

 July 5 to 13. In flavor it has no superior, and in productiveness it is 

 simply remarkable. I first ofl^ered this corn In 1888, and for 20 years 

 before that time it had been the favorite sweet corn of the late Mr. 

 Alfred Rose, of N. Y., and grown by him to the exclusion of all other 

 sorts. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. Pk., Sl.lO; bu., S4.00. 



Early Champion Sweet Corn* 



This is a second-early variety. It is quite new, but is already popular. 

 The ears usually have 12 rows of beautiful milk-white grains, whlcb 

 remain tender and sweet for a long period. It matures just after First 

 of All, and has a large and handsome ear for so early a variety. It is an, 

 extremely valuable sort for market and home purposes, as it is truly- 

 sweet, with far more sugar than the Cory. It is prolific and satisfactory 

 in all respects. It is, m reality, one of the very best and earliest of the 

 truly sweet corns. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, post- 

 paid. Peck, Sl.lO; bushel, S4.00.
