White Hybuia Sweet Corn 
196 Silver Cross Bantam % 
The most tender, delicious corn you can grow (86 days) 
When we introduced Maule customers to Silver Cross Bantam in 1942 we said that 
it was without doubt the finest white sweet corn ever placed on the market. So many of 
our friends agreed with us that to date more than half of the standard white varieties 
we listed at that time have disappeared from our’catalog, eclipsed by this wonderful 
corn. We sell more Silver Cross Bantam than all other white corns combined, and it’s 
simply because it’s the best of its kind. Like its yellow twin, Golden Cross Bantam, 
this hybrid is adapted to every part of the country where corn can be grown. The ears 
are 8 in. long with 12 or 14 rows of broad, white kernels. They are supreme in sweetness 
and flavor, but most of all in tenderness. They continue to be delicious at an age that 
most corn is inedible. The plants are 6 ft. tall, strongly two eared, and well equipped to 
resist wind, heat, and drouth. For highest quality corn, and a swell yield as well, grow 
Silver Cross Bantam. Pkt. 15¢5 WA Ib. 40¢; lb. 75¢3 2 lbs. $1.40; 5 Ibs. $3.20; 10 lbs. $5.00.

200 Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid 
(92 days) You will harvest lots of corn if you plant this 
vigorous, full season hybrid. It is like the old Stowell’s Ever- 
green which was the leading sweet corn for many years, but 
it is superior to the old Stowell’s because it is a hybrid. The 
hybrid vigor and breeding background eliminate barren 
stalks, irregular ear type, weak plants, and susceptibility to 
wilt. Instead, this hybrid has uniformly 7% to 8% in. ears 
with 16 or 18 rows of narrow, deep, clean white kernels. It 
easily outyields the open pollinated strain, and is actually 
more widely adapted than the parent variety. Plants grow 
to a height of 8 ft. We recommend this hybrid as better corn 
than Stowell’s Evergreen. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 lb. 40¢; Ib. 70¢; 2 Ibs. $1.25; 
5 Ibs.1 $2.80; 10 Ibs. $5.20. 
White Varieties 
(NOT HYBRID) 
221 Stowell’s Evergreen 
(93 days) The first sweet corn known to American settlers 
was obtained on an expedition against the Indians in 1779, 
and it seems likely that Stowell’s Evergreen springs from 
those very ears taken from a tepee in the Susquehanna 
valley. Stowell’s was almost the first variety to be listed in 
seed catalogs, and its tremendous life span is all the more re- 
markable when we consider the fact that only two other 
white corns (the hybrids, Silver Cross Bantam and Stowell’s 
Evergreen Hybrid) now surpass it in popularity. Ears are 
8 to 9 in. long and contain 16 to 20 rows of deep kernels. The 
plants grow 7 to 8 ft. tall. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 46¢; 2 Ibs. 75¢; 
5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.20. 
216 Country Gentleman 
(95 days) Easily recognized by the irregular arrangement of 
the kernels on the cob. Seeds, when dry, are long and narrow, 
hence the appropriate common name of Shoe Peg by which 
it is widely known. Ears are quite large, 7 to 8 in. long, with 
a small white cob thickly covered with long, slender, white 
grains of good sweetness. This variety has the favorable 
characteristic of remaining in edible condition a long time. 
It has been well known and liked by gardeners everywhere. 
Stalks grow 7 ft. tall and generally bear two large ears, which 
makes the strain a heavy yielder. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 
5 Ibs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.70. 
222 Maule’s Lead All 
Evergreen 
(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. Where it is an advantage 
to have the crop come to maturity steadily for quite an ex- 
tended 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 ft. tall, and bear ears 8 to 10 in. long with 14 or 16 rows 
of kernels. Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 
5-Ibs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.70. 

Stowell’s Evergreen Hubrid 
WM, HENRY MAULE—THE OLD RELIABLE SEED HOUSE— 

Silver Cross Bantam Hybrid 
219 Howling Mob 
(82 days) The curious name of this variety was 
chosen by the originator because of his experience in 
offering ears for sale at his market stall. He was so 
overwhelmed by shouting customers (this was in 
1902) whenever he had the corn, that he could scarcely 
hand it out fast enough. Ears are 7 to 8 in. long, with 
12 to 16 rows of kernels. Plants grow 6 ft. tall. 
Pkt. 10¢; 12 lb. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 85¢; 
5 lbs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.70. 
205 Maule’s Colossal 
(90 days) Competes successfully with Stowell’s Ever- 
green. It is as big as Stowell’s, and has the advantage 
of ripening earlier under favorable conditions. Plants 
grow 6 to 7 ft. tall, many of them carrying 2 ears. 
Ears are 7 to 9 in. long, with 12 or 14 rows of kernels. 
We believe you'll find that Silver Cross Bantam is 
earlier, higher yielding and much better quality. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 lbs. 75¢; 
5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00.

HYBRID corn to plant, and buy fresh seed annually.
