WHITE 
VARIETIES 
HEART TO HEART 
We'd like to have a little heart to heart talk 
with you about corn. Rapid improvements 
ree in sweet corn have been taking place recently 
—so rapid, in fact, that many gardeners do not yet realize the 
immense difference in value between the new hybrids and the old 
varieties. We believe that there is no variety described on pages 
ZV 2 ores that does not have a superior hybrid of the same 
general type listed on page 20. White corn growers certainly 
should try Silver Cross Bantam. Those who favor yellow corn 
meee ey the special hybrid collection at the bottom of 
page 21. 
218 Black Mexican 
Unique and time-honored strain (82 days) 
Do not misjudge this corn by the color of ripe seed, which is - 
bluish black, for when ready for the table the kernels are pearly 
white with just a faint tinge, at times, of light purple. Ears are 
8 in. long with 8 rows of kernels of much greater sweetness than 
most white corn. Plants grow 6 ft. tall. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 65¢; 5 Ibs. $1.50; 10 lbs. $2.70. 
Larger quantities at still lower prices. 
206 Maule’s Ideal Ea rly 
Also known as Adams Early (80 days) 
Stalks grow 6 ft. tall, which will appeal to the gardener who is 
interested in growing fodder as well as early ears. The 6 to 7 in. 
ears have 12 rows of pure white kernels which are tender when 
young, and almost as sweet as a true sugar corn. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 20¢; Ib. 30¢; 2 Ibs. 50¢; 5 Ibs. $1.15; 10 Ibs. $2.00. 
SWEET CORN 
222 Maule’s ‘‘Lead All’’ Evergreen 
Largest and sweetest open pollinated white corn (93 days) 
Of all the old-time white sweet corn varieties this is probably the 
best. It was introduced by Maule in 1918. We beliéve that it 
surpasses all the old standard white sweet corns in sweetness and 
in size of ear, and that while Silver Cross Bantam is its superior 
in quality, and Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid exceeds it in yield, 
there is still a place for it in the garden. Where it is an advantage 
to have the crop come to maturity steadily for quite an extended 
period, where very long, large, sweet ears are desired, and where 
. a heavy, leafy plant is useful, Maule’s Lead All Evergreen is the 
corn to grow. The plants generally become 8 to 9 feet tall, and 
bear ears 8 to 10 in. long with 14 or 16 rows of kernels. The 
combination of the largest size ears and really superior sweetness 
and tenderness makes this variety worthy of consideration for 
your main corn crop. 
Pkt. 10¢; 1% Ib. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 lbs. 75¢; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00. 
Larger quantities at still lower prices. 
214 Maule’s First of All 
Earliest white sweet corn (78 days) 
First of All stands practically alone in its class, since it is the only 
white corn in season with Golden Bantam, and the sole oppor- 
tunity for white corn growers to compete in that earliest group. 
The ears are 6 to 7 in. long, with 10 or 12 rows of kernels on a 
large pink cob. Plants grow 5 to 6 ft. tall. If a few days’ delay 
is \not vital, then it would be advisable to plant Silver Cross 
Pkt. 10¢; 1 lb. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 2 Ibs. 60¢; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 Ibs. $2.50.

POP 
Whether it’s popped in a skillet over a gas plate, in a fancy 7. e y 241 
electric popper, or in a wire basket at the fireplace, there’s 
nothing that brings conviviality and good cheer so uni- 
versally as pop corn. These days, when our pleasures must 
be simple ones, we appreciate more than ever the good fun 
we discover right at home. Plan 
now for next fall and winter.

CORN 
New Hybri Jap Hulless % 
e newest and best pop corn (105 days) 
With hybrid sweet corn and hybrid field corn showing such tremendous 
advantages everywhere, it was inevitable that hybrid pop corn would 
eventually appear to displace the old varieties. Hybrid Jap Hulless is a 
product of the University of Minnesota, and it is an ideal example of 
hybrid superiority. It outyields regular Jap Hulless by 16%, and that’s 
the least important advantage. The biggest step forward is the fact that 
although the kernels look the same they pop 29% larger by actual 
measurement! This hybrid will rapidly monopolize the quality pop corn 
market. You probably will not be able to buy this wonderful Jap 
Hulless crop seed for popping, so the way to have some next winter is 
to grow it yourself. It’s worth the effort. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 Ib. 35¢; Ib. 60¢; 2 Ibs. $1.10; 5 Ibs. $2.50; 10 Ibs. $4.50. 
236 South American Mushroom 
Largest of all pop corns (120 days) 


This variety provides the largest popped corn of all, kernels measuring 
over an inch across. The seed is golden yellow, but when popped it’s 
creamy white. The ears are long; plants grow 6 t 7 ft. tall. Three ears 
to a stalk are not uncommon, two ears appear most frequently. In size, 
both of ear and popped kernels, this variety exceeds all others, but 
Hybrid Jap Hulless is more tender and better quality. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 60¢; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 lbs. $2.50. 
235 Tom Thumb or Japanese Hulless 
Aliso known as Dwarf Baby Rice (105 days) 
A heavy yielder, with handsome ears closely set with pure white, rice- 
like kernels. Ears are short and thick, 4 in. long; stalks grow 5 ft. high. 
Kernels are free from hulls or shells and pop readily. The popped 
kernels are snow white and so tender they melt in your mouth. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 lb. 20¢; lb. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 60¢; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 Ibs. $2.50. 
eg We have bought Maule’s seeds ever since we have been married, and that was forty years last January 25th. We have bought other 


Bi imes, but must say we were always glad to go back to Maule’s. We are old now, but so long as we have a garden it. 
x ge i Jee ere be Mawes Seeds we will plant.”-—Mr. W. O. Dulinsky, Walkersville, Michigan. 23
