THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



2 GOOD SWEET CORNS. 



One the very earliest. 

 The other the very latest. 



PREMO SWEET CORN. 



EVERBEARING It follows Maule's XX in 



maturity. It invariably makes two ears to the 

 stalk. Quality excellent. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 

 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, qt., 25 cts.; pk„ $1.35. 



BLACK MEXICAN — One of the most sugary 

 and delicious of all the sweet corns. The grains 

 when first perfected are pure white, and are then 

 at their best for table use. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; 

 qt., 33c, postpaid. By express or freight, 

 ■ot prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; peck, $1.2.5. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN Every mar- 

 ket gardener and private gardener in the land 

 knows this grand old sweet corn. It is in high 

 esteem for main crop or late use. Pkt., 10c; 

 pt., 20c; qt., 35c, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, qt., 25 cts.; ph., SI. 50. 



NEW WHITE EVERGREEN The stalks 



are of a strong, vigorous growth, 6 to 7 feet high. 

 Ears are very large, well filled to the tip, with 

 long slender grains of the purest whiteness and 

 most delicious flavor. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; 

 qt., 35c, postpaid. By express or <"reight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.50. 



WHITE MEXICAN. — This variety com- 

 bines with a white grain alt the good qualities 

 of sweetness and flavor so prominent in the 

 Black Mexican. One of the very earliest. The 

 ears are medium size. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; 

 qt., 35c, postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, qunrt, 25 cts.; peck, $1.25. 



PREMO SWEET CORN. 



This strictly new sweet corn is ready before any 

 of the old sorts. Not only is it earlier than Adams 

 and Cory, but the ear is larger and the grains 

 sweeter. Its average period of reaching maturity 

 Is from 56 to 60 days. The new Premo matures U or 

 6 days ahead of Cory or Adams. This is a very 

 Important gain of time, especially in view of the 

 fact that Premo is a superior corn, with larger and 

 sweeter ears and of better appearance. The ear of 

 Premo is from 5 to 7 inches long, and of fine shape 

 for a first early sort. I therefore confidently recom- 

 mend it to all gardeners for trial, being sure that 

 its earliness and table quality will speedily bring 

 It into favor. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.) 

 qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; peck, $1.50. 



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, and any one desiring sugar corn 

 producing ears 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, and so thick 

 and strong they stand up well against storms and 

 rains. The ears are frequently 12 inches or more 

 in length, and of proportionate thickness, well 

 formed and exceedingly handsome. The Prize ear, 

 four years ago, measuring 12% In. long, was sent 

 In by John H. Westgate, Bernards Crossing, N. Y., 

 who secured the S50.00. 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 can readily be obtained for It. 

 The illustration herewith Is taken from a photo- 

 graph of a medium sized ear, which I must admit 

 was about as perfect an ear of sugar corn as it has 

 been my fortune to see. I recommend it especially 

 to private or market gardners and canners. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By 

 ex. or fgt., not prepaid, qt., 30 cts.; pk., $1.50. 



THE CORY. — The earliest sweet corn, except 

 First of All, Premo and Ideal, and for years 

 headed the list of quick maturing sorts. It is still 

 In wide favor. Very dwarf, and may be closely 

 planted. Two ears to a stalk; cob red. Fit for use 

 in 62 days from planting. Often grown as a second 

 crop, in autumn. It Is quite possible to realize as 

 much clear cash on early sales of the Cory as on 

 sales of the larger and later varieties. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By 

 ex. or fgt., not prepaid, qt., 25 cts.; pk., $1.25. 

 ADAMS' EXTRA EARLY.— Not so sweet nor 

 as early as Cory, but decidedly more hardy. Is 

 welcomed on the table if pulled promptly after 

 reaching maturity. The grains are tender and 

 white, and the ear presents a fair and attractive 

 appearance. In general demand by truckers and 

 market gardeners. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 

 qt., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 20 cts.; peck, $1.00. 



MAULE'S MAMMOTH SUGAR — This tall 

 growing sweet corn is one of the very sweetest 

 known. It matures a little later than Ever- 

 green, and is particularly good for canning pur- 

 poses. It is an excellent late sort for the garden. 

 I have known prize ears of Mammoth Sugar 

 corn to reach the remarkable weierht of three 

 nounds each. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 

 35 cts.. postpaid. By express or frright, not 

 prepaid, quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.50. 



EGYPTIAN This is one of the latest of all 



the sweet corns: ten days later than Stowell's 

 Evergreen. It is large both in stalk and ear. 

 In qualitv it is delicious, being sweet and ten- 

 der. The' ear remains Ions in the green state. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.50.

Sugar Corn for Green Forage. 



For cutting in the green state, for summer 

 forage, sweet corn is superior to any of the 

 ordinary field corns. I recommend it especially 

 to dairymen, for use during July, August and 

 September, when pasturage is affected by dry 

 weather. It forms a cheap and wholesome feed 

 for cows. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt.. 20 cts.; qt.. 30 

 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not 

 prepaid, qt., 20 cts.; pk., 75 cts.; bn„ $2.50.
