STANDARD SWEET OR SUGAR CORNS. 



B A good money crop for near-by markets. Every body can grow this crop with profit. 



r Culture.— ^Sweet corn always does well on sod land, or where clover has been turned down. Plant when dan- 

 el ger of frost is over, in hills 2x3 feet, or 3x4 feet, according to variety. Give frequent and continued shallow 

 p< culture. Leave 3 stalks to the hill, and make successional plantings until nearly mid-summer. Use 1 quart 



£ for 600 hills; 6 to 8 quarts per acre. Cover seed with an inch of soil. 



"5 THE CORY. — This is the earliest sweet corn, except First of All. It was originated in Rhode , 

 Bj Island, by a market gardener named Cory, and for years headed the list of quick maturing 

 i- sorts. It is still in wide favor. Very dwarf, and may be closely planted. Two ears to a 

 ■1 stalk; cob red. Fit for use in 52 days from planting. Often grown as a sec- 



5 ond crop, in autumn. It is quite "possible to realize as much clear cash 

 Z on early sales of the Cory, as on sales of the larger and later varieties of 

 £ sweet corn. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 35c, postpaid. Pk., 75c; bu., £2.50. 



6 NEW WHITE CQB CORY. — An offspring of the Cory, with a 

 r white cob. In earliness, dwarf habit and other qualities, it Is pre- 



05 cisely the same as the red cob Cory, and while I do not regard It a9 

 » being materially different from its parent, except in size of ear, 

 b which is larger, I notice that it is in brisk demand in some markets,

EVERBEARING. — I introduced and first 

 offered this now standard sort in 1888. It follows 

 Stabler s Early in point of maturity. It has 

 plump grains to top. of cob. It invariably makes 

 two ears to the stalk, which if pulled promptly, 

 will be succeeded with two more and sometimes 

 even four more ears on the same stalk. Quality 

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

 35 cts., postpaid. Peck, £1.00; bushel, £3.00.

MAULE'S XX SUGAR (See specialties.) 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN.— Every mar- 

 ket gardener and every private gardener in the 

 land knows this grand old 6weet corn. It is in 

 high esteem for main crop or late use, being in 

 especial favor with truckers and canners. The 

 ears are of extra large size, and are tender and 

 toothsome, with deep grain, and remaining a 

 long time in edible condition. It is one of the 

 most productive, profitable and popular 

 sweet corns on the market. Pkt., 10c; pt., 

 20c; qt., 35c, postpaid. Pk., 75c; bu., £2^0. 



MAULE'S MAMMOTH SUGAR. — This 

 tall growing sweet corn has not only the 

 largest ears, but is also one of the very sweet- 

 est known. It matures a little later than 

 Evergreen, and is particularly good for can- 

 ning purposes. It is an excellent late sort 

 for the garden. I have, known prize ears of 

 Mammoth Sugar corn to reach the remark- 

 able weight of 3 pounds each, though, of 

 course, the usual weight is much less. I 

 merely mention its great achievement in a 

 prize contest to show the remarkably strong 

 character of this sweet corn. Pkt., 10c; pt., 

 20c, qt., 35c, postpaid. Pk., 75c; bu., £2.50. 



EGYPTIAN — This is one of the latest of 

 all the sweet corns; ten days later than Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen. It is large both in stalk and 

 1 ear. In quality it is delicious, being sweet 

 and tender. The ear remains long in the 

 green state; a fact which increases its value 

 for table use or for market. Pkt., 10c; pt., 

 20c; qt., 35c, postpaid. Pk., 75c; bu., £2.50. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. 



— For cutting in the green state, for cattle or 

 other live stock, sweet corn is superior to 

 any of the ordinary field corns. I recom- 

 mend it especially to dairymen, for use in 

 mid-summer. It is a cheap, milk producing 

 and wholesome food for cows, especially in 

 connection with any of the nitrogenous milk 

 feeds. Packet 10 cents; pint, 20 cents, quart, 

 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, SI. 75.
