KENDEL’S EARLY GIANT. MAULE’S XX. 
Kendel’s Early Giant. 
THE FIRST LONG BARED TRUE SWEET CORN. 
In many localities there is, commercially speaking, a high cash prem- 
jum on the first really good sweet corn with large ears that can be pro- 
duced, and Kendel’s Early Giant will meet the requirements of the case 
and prove very Satisfactory and profitable. My careful tests of this new 
sweet corn prove its sterling merit. The ears measure 8 to 10 inches lone 
and have 10 to 18 rows of grains. The majority 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 prolific 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 4 quick sale in any market 
where there is a demand for really choice early sweet corn. The illus- 
tration shows the shape of the grains and the general characteristics of 
the ear, excepting the size, which is much reduced. Packet, 10 cts.; 
pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts., postpaid. Peck, 85 cts.; bushel, $3.00. 
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 second-early sweet corn. Thestrong stalks are five feet high, 
each stalk bearing one or two ears about 9 inches long, with 10 or 12 rows 
of grains. It is one of best of the true early or intermediate sweet corns. 
It has a thick husk, and is practically fr: e from smut and worms on my 
grounds. It will prove to be an admirable sweet corn for table or matr- 
ket; particularly good for market or shipping. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 
20 cents; quart, 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 85 cts.; bushel, $3.00.

EARLY CHAMPION, 
Maule’s XX Sweet Corn. 
FAMOUS FOR ITS DELICIOUS, SWEET, SUGARY FLAVOR. 
All who have ever planted Maule’s XX want it againand again. It 
has won a national name and fame. It is fit for the table in 9 or 10 weeks 
from planting, and of most 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 laree as Stowell’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 15. In flavor it has no superior, and in productiveness it is 
simply remarkable. I first offered this corn to the public in 1888, and 
for 20 years before that time it had been the favorite sweet corn of the 
late Mr. Alfred Rose, of Penn Yan, N. Y., one of the most successful 
market gardeners in the United States, and grown by him to the ex- 
culsion of all other sorts. It will give universal sastisfaction for both 
home and market. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, post- 
paid. Peck, $1.00; bushel $3.50. 
Early Champion Sweet Corn. 
This is a second-early or intermediate variety. It is quite new, but is 
already popular. The ears usually have 12 rows of beautiful milk-white 
grains which remain tender and sweet for along period. It matures |} 
just after First of All, and has a large and handsome ear for so early a 
variety. It is anextremely valuable sort for market and home purposes 
as it is truly sweet, with far more sugar than the Cory. It is prolific an 
satisfactory in all respects. I call it second-early in order to distinguish 
it from the small sorts which first reach maturity. It is, in reality, one of | 
the very best and earliest of the truly sweet corns. Packet, 10 cents; 
pint, 20 cents; quart, 85 cents, postpaid. Peck, 85 cts.; bushel, $8.00,
