WHITE 
VARIETIES 
218 Black Mexican 
Unique and time-honored strain (82 days) 
Do not misjudge this corn by the color of ripe seed, which is 
bluish black, for when ready for the table the kernels are pearly 
white with just a faint tinge, at times, of light purple. Ears are 
8 in. long with 8 rows of kernels of much greater sweetness than 
most white corn. Plants grow 6 ft. tall.

206 Maule’s Ideal Early 
Also known as Adams Early (80 days) 
Stalks grow 6 ft. tall, which will appeal to the gardener who is 
interested in growing fodder as well as early ears. The 6 to 7 in. 
ears have 12 rows of pure white kernels which are tender when 
young, and almost as sweet as a true sugar corn,

Culture for Sweet Corn 
Plant the seed after all danger of frost is over and the ground has become thor- 
oughly warm. Plant in rows 2% to 4 ft. apart and the seed 8 in. apart in the 
rows; oF put 4 seeds in a hill and space the hills 3 by 4 ft. apart. Cover seed 
with 1 in. of soil. If planted in hills, allow 2 or 3 plants to remain in each hill. 
For a continuous supply of good fresh corn make successional plantings every 
10 to 14 days up to July 10. Allow enough time for your last planting to mature 
before your first expected frost. Never plant corn in a single row; it is necessary 
to plant several rows (3 or 4) side by side. Hybrids show many great advantages 
over old style varieties, but there is one point to remember. Do not save seed 
from a hybrid crop. Seed saved from a hybrid crop gives 1% less yield, loses 
SWEET CORN 
222 Maule’s ‘‘Lead All’’ Evergreen 
Largest and sweetest open pollinated white corm (93 days) 
Of all the old-time white sweet corn varieties this.is probably the 
best. It was introduced by Maule in 1918. We believe that it 
surpasses all the old standard white sweet corns in sweetness and 
in size of ear, and that while Silver Cross Bantam is its superior 
in quality, and Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid exceeds it in yield, 
there is still a place for it in the garden. Where it isan advantage 
to have the crop come to maturity steadily for quite an extended 
period, where very long, large, sweet ears are desired, and where 
a heavy, leafy plant is useful, Maule’s Lead All Evergreen is the 
corn to grow. The plants generally become 8 to 9 feet tall, and 
bear ears 8 to 10 in. long with 14 or 16 rows of kernels. The 
combination of the largest size ears and really superior sweetness 
and tenderness makes this variety worthy of consideration for 
your main corn crop.

214 Maule’s First of All 
Earliest white sweet corn (78 days) 
First of All stands practically alone in its class, since it is the only 
white corn in season with Golden Bantam, and the sole oppor- 
tunity for white corn growers to compete in that earliest group. 
The ears are 6 to 7 in. long, with 10 or 12 rows of kernels on a 
large pink cob. Plants grow 5 to 6‘ft. tall. If a few days’ delay 
is not vital, then it would be advisable to plant Silver Cross 
Bantam, but,if earliness is what you want, this is your corn.

hybrid sweet corn and hybrid field corn showing such tremendous 
advantages everywhere, it was inevitable that hybrid pop corn would 
eventually appear to displace the old varieties. Hybrid Jap Hulless is a 
product of the University of Minnesota, and it is an ideal example of 
hybrid superiority. It outyields regular Jap Hulless by 16%, and that’s 
the least important advantage. The biggest step forward is the fact that 
although the kernels look the same they pop 29% larger by actual 
measurement! This hybrid will rapidly monopolize the quality pop corn 
market. You probably will not be able to buy this wonderful Jap 
Hulless crop seed for popping, so the way to have some next winter is 
to grow it yourself. It’s worth the effort.

236 South American Mushroom 
Largest of all pop corms (120 days) 
This variety provides the largest popped corn of all, kernels measuring 
over an inch across. The seed is golden yellow, but when popped it’s 
creamy white. The ears are long; plants grow 6 to 7 ft. tall. Three ears 
to a stalk are not uncommon, two ears appear most frequently. In size, 
both of ear and popped kernels, this variety exceeds all others, but 
Hybrid Jap Hulless is more tender and better quality.

Also known as Dwarf Baby Rice (105 days) 
A heavy yielder, with handsome ears closely set with pure white, rice- 
like kernels. Ears are short and thick, 4 in. long; stalks grow 5 ft. high. 
Kernels are free from hulls or shells and pop readily. The popped 
: kernels are snow white and so tender they melt in your mouth.

“T wish to tell you how much we think of your Aristogold Bantam Evergreen hybrid sweet corn. It is all you claim and plenty more. 
Corn that made fine in Maryland this year deserves cheers. Please hold seed for me in 1944.”
