One of the Earliest Sweet Corns. 



This strictly fine 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 Premo matures I, or 5 

 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 afirst early sort. I therefore confidently recom- 

 mend it to all gardeners, being sure that its earli- 

 ness and table quality will bring it into favor. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.: qt., 40 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 

 30 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; pk., $1.50; bu., $5.00. 



225 Maule's Improved Giant Sugar 



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 go 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, 

 six years ago, measuring 12% in. long, was sent 

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

 who secured the SoO.OO. In sweetness, succulence, 

 depth of grain and fine table quality Maule's 

 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 is taken from a photograph 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 to private or market 

 gardeners. Fkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By ex. or fgt., not prepaid, qt., 30 

 cts.; 4 qts.. Si. 00, pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00. 



226 Mammoth White Cory 



A Large £ared E^xtra Early Variety. 



The ears are very handsome, with no openings 

 between the rows at the base. Grains large and 

 white and of remarkably good quality for such an 

 early sort. The size and beauty of this variety 

 give it ready sale even when the market is over- 

 stocked. Fine for home or market gardeners. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 

 3U cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00. 



227 Adam's Extra Early 



Not so sweet nor as early as Premo, but decid- 

 edly 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 de- 

 mand by truckers and market gardeners. 



Fkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, qt., 

 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 



217 Zig Zag Evergreen 



A medium to late Shoe Peg variety. Ma- 

 tures about eight days ahead of Stowell's Ever- 

 green; the kernels are shaped like those of Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen; but the arrangement on the cob 

 is entirely diff'erent; so peculiar. In fact, as to 

 give the corn its name. Two perfect ears to the 

 stalk, invariably. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 

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

 not prepaid, quart, 30 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.00;

232 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 aff'ected by dry 

 weather. It forms a cheap and wholesome feed 

 for cows, as every part of the stalk and leaves 

 are relished. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; 

 quart, 30 cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 20 cents; 

 4 quarts, 50 cts.; peck, 85 cts;. bushel, $3.00. 



NOTE. — Customers can order half bushels at bushel rates.
