" All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in 

 rows four and one-half feet apart, and the seeds placed about 

 eight inches apart in the rows or planted in hills at distances of 

 three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown, or the 

 richness of the soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety, 

 or the richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. 



Quantity of seed. — One quart of seed will plant 200 hills, or a 

 row 100 yards in length; 8 to lO quarts for an acre. 



Varieties, Perry's Hybrid — An early twelve-rowed variety, grow- 

 ing only 4 to 5 feet high. Kernels white, large, sweet and very 

 tender. Price of seed, 25 cents per quart. 



Moore's Early Concord. — Ears large and well-filled ; and unsur- 

 passed for richness and delicacy of flavour. Price of seed 25 

 cents per quart. 



Stabler's Early. — A valuable second early corn, remarkably large 

 for so early a ripener. Yields an abundant crop, is desirable for 

 family use, and one of the most profitable for market or canning. 

 Price of seed, 25 cents per quart. 



Squantum. — One of the sweetest varieties, and is largely used 

 for market and canning. It is a general favourite and is wonder- 

 fully productive. The Squantum is the variety used almost exclu- 

 sively at the famous Rhode Island clambakes, which is sufficient 

 evidence of its quality. Price of seed, 25 cents per quart. 



Extra Early Minnesota. — Maturing for table in about seventy days 

 from germination. Ears well made out. Desirable in the family 

 garden and profitable to shippers. Price of seed 20 cents per

 exclusively by the market gardeners of Burlington County, New 

 Jersey. The edible grain is white and sweet. This variety will 

 mature ears for market in about eighty days from germination. 

 The stalk is leafy and grows to a height of 6 feet. A very profit- 

 able sort as a money maker. Plant in rows 4 feet apart, and 

 thin the planf, to two feet in the rows. Price of seeds 20 cents 

 per quart. 



Landretli' s Sugar. — A remarkably .productive variety; two ears 

 on every stalk, often three, and sometimes four. The ear remains

 marketable ears to the acre than any other variety in cultivation. 

 Plant at distances of 4A feet between the rows, and 3 feet from 

 plant to plant in the rows. Price of seed 27 cents per quart. 



TOMATOES. 



The seed should be sown in prepared beds or in boxes, and as 

 soon as the plants are a couple of inches high they should be 

 pricked off into another bed, a few inches apart, when they have 

 attained a height of about 6 inches they may be planted out. If 

 the seeds have not been sown too thickly the young plants may 

 be allowed to remain in the original bed or box till they are strong
