 The majority of the ears are 12 rowed. 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 cts.;

Metropolitan Sweet Corn 



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

 the best of the intermediate varieties. It is truly a fine type of early or 

 second-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 cts.; pint, 

 35 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. Sy express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, quart, 30 cts.; 4 qts., 91.00; peck, 91.75; bushel, 9S.O0.

Maule's XX Sweet Corn 



FAMOUS FOR ITS DELICIOUS, SWEET, SUGARY FLAVOR. 



All who plant Maule's XX want it again and 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 grows 5 to 6 feet in height. It pro- 

 duces 12 rowed to 16 rowed ears as large as Stowell's Evergreen (9 to 10 

 inches). 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 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. Packet, 10 

 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 



213 



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, which 

 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. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 35 

 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 quart, 30 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, 95.00.
