 Evergreen 



The Sweetest and Most Delicious Sugar Corn 



A distinct new sugar corn of the evergreen type. 

 Produces handsome ears which are sweeter and 

 larger than either Country Gentleman or Stowell's 

 Evergreen. The stalk grows 8 to 9 feet high, usually 

 producing 2 large, well developed ears 8 to 10 inches 

 long to each stalk. The large, white grains are deep 

 set with 14 to 18 rows on the cob; of great tenderness 

 and sweetness. It is usually ready for the table or 

 market in 10 to 12 weeks. It withstands drought 

 unusually well and holds its edible qualities better 

 than most other varieties. We highly recommend 

 this delicious sugar corn for the home garden, 

 market gardener or canner.

225 Maule's Improved Giant 



The Largest Eared Sugar Corn 



Maule's Improved Giant is 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 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, well formed and exceedingly handsome. 

 In sweetness, succulence, depth of grain and fine 

 table qualityMaule's Improved Giant will be found 

 hard to beat. We recommend it to private or 

 market gardeners as well as canners.
