MAULE’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1902 15 
Improved Giant Sugar Corn. 
Largest Late Variety. Very Sweet. 
The originator of this grand strain, one of the most successful market gardeners in the North- 
= west, claims it to be the largest and best Sweet corn grown. It certainly malzes a remarkable 
= record for itself in comparison with other sorts, and any one desiring sugar corn producing ears 
S of immense size, which are at the same time of delicious flavor, will do well to give this Improved 
Giant a thorough trial. It is late. The stalks are comparatively short, but so thick and strong 
they stand up well against storms and rains. The strain is a vigorous one, an dseems proof against 
disease, and is of high productive capacity. The ears are frequently 12 inches or more in length, 
and of proportionate thickness, well formed and exceedingly handsome. ‘The Prize ear last year 
measuring 12% inches long was sent in by John H. Westgate, Bernards Crossing, N. Y., who secured 
the $50.00. In sweetness, succulence, depth of grain, and fine table quality the Improved Giant will 
be found hard to beat. It is perfection itself for home use. In choice retail markets extra price 
ean readily be obtained for it. Improved Giant Sugar is unquestionably the corn to plant to 
excite the admiration of your friends, and is especially reeommended for exhibition purposes 
The illustration herewith is taken from a photograph of a medium sized ear of this variety 
which I must admit was about as perfect an ear of sugar corn as it has been my fortune to see. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00.

Maule’s Extra Early Cucumber. 
First to Mature. For the Table. For Pickling. For the Market. 
- This widely popular cucumber is a cross betweed Early Russian and Green Prolific. It has be- 
come a general fayorite.~ It has the earliness of one parent and the high quality and remarkable 
prolificness of the other. It always grows uniformly, and is seldom too large for pickling. The 
vines are of extra vigorous growth, with leayes of a dark green color, and produce innumerable 
| flowers, resulting in an abundance of fruits. 
This cucumber is one of the best in the world for pickling, on account of both quality and the 
| free-bearing of the yine. It is also adapted to the table and to market. Its color is attractive, and it i 
is sweet and tender for slicing. It retains its color well, after removal from the vine, andisa good (A bag

2 Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest recommendation; making it invaluable for house- 
keepers and market gardeners. On account of its earliness and its very high quality I continue to 
list it among my choicest novelties.
