No. 48, Salzer — Could not be distinguished from Cory. Although not 

 worthy of a varietal name it is one of the best strains of Cory grown by us 

 this year. 



Burbank — A very promising variety coming just after Cory. Cobs large, 

 white; ears large 8 to 12 rowed; kernels large and nearly white. One of 

 the most promising of the new varieties. 



Crosby — Perhaps the best of the second early varieties, ripening a week 

 after Cory. Cob white, 12 rowed, kernel small, evenly and closely 

 arranged on cob. Quality excellent. 



Miyinesoia — The favorite second early variety with market gardeners; 

 ripens very evenly, kernels large and flat, very productive, but not equal 

 in quality to Crosby. 



Leei — This seems to be a well selected strain of Minnesota; although 

 somewhat earlier than that variety, it has all its valuable characteristics 

 developed to a high degree. 



Ford — About four days later than Marblehead, ears long, slender, eight- 

 rowed, cob white. Quite productive and of excellent quality. 



Perry — Fully as early as Minnesota. Ears generally 10 or 12 rowed, 

 with a slender white cob. Although no larger than Minnesota, its superior 

 quality renders it valuable. 



Pee and Kay — Ripens with the last. Ears 12-rowed. Kernels long, 

 on a white slim cob. 



Shaker — Ripens with Minnesota. Ears 10 to 12-rowed; cob white, of 

 medium size, and an inch longer than Minnesota. Its size, productiveness, 

 and excellent quality make it desirable as a second early variety. 



Amber Cream — About a week earlier than Stowell. Ears very long and 

 slender; 10 or 12-rowed. Cob white; kernels light amber when dry. Qual- 

 ity very good. 



Everbearing — Although its evergreen character is the strongest point 

 claimed for this variety, it was ripe nearly three weeks before Stabler, 

 which was at edible maturity on the same day as Everbearing. Ears 10- 

 rowed, size of Concord and Stabler; kernels and cobs white. 



Guaraniee—Ahout with Everbearing in season and general appearance. 

 Ears 8 inches long; cob white, slender. Very sweet. 



Honey^One week later than Concord. Stalks about six and a half 

 feet high ; generally red. Ears 12-rowed, eight inches long. Quality excel- 

 lent. 



Maule's XX — Plants about six feet high. Ears six to seven inches long 

 and 10 or 12 rowed. Kernels small and sweet. Not particularly desirable. 



Old Colony — Stalks from five and a half to six feet high. Ears six to 

 eight inches long; 14 to 16 rowed. About ten days earlier than Stowell. 

 Cobs white ; kernels long, small, and very sweet. One of the best in this 

 class. 



Concord — ^Plants about seven feet high. Ears eight inches long, 12 to 

 14-rowed. Kernels small but long. Very productive, and of excellent 

 quality. Has few equals as a second early sort, and on account of its 

 superior quality is by many preferred to Stowell for fall use. 



Stabler — About a week earlier than Stowell which, in size and appearance 

 of plant, it greatly resembles. The ears are a little smaller than those of 

 Stowell, but are of better quality, and have the evergreen character 

 developed to a high degree. This variety is preferred by many for gen- 

 eral planting.
