Of ilie varieties belonging to tlie olive-shaped class, Red Rocket and Rose gave 

 tlie bf St satisfaction. 



Cardinal and Eigliteen Day Forcing have roots three to four inches long and 

 one inch in diameter at base. Their bright red color is very attractive and their 

 larger size and quick maturity make them preferable to the smaller sorts for forcing 

 or outdoor planting. 



Long Scarlet Short Top and Cincinnati Market are long rooted sorts vv-ell suited 

 to the outdoor kitchen garden or for market purposes. 



SWEET CORN. 



The trial plot of sweet corn was planted May 2(3. Thirty-one varieties, including 

 many of the old sorts and some new ones which have not been described in our 

 bulletins, were used: Adams, White Cory, Champion, Concord, Country Gentle- 

 man and Stowell's Evergreen are varieties that are familiar to most growers and 

 need no further description. 



Asylum, one of Vaughan's medium varieties, was not entirely satisfactory, but will 

 be given further trial, as it has good-sized, well covered ears. The kernels were 

 plump, broad, cream white, tender and quite sweet for an early sort. 



Best of All, from Buckbee, is very much like White Cory, but it is somewhat 

 later The ears were of good size for eight-rowed corn, and well covered with broad, 

 tender kernels of good length; cob small and white. 



Beverly, from Landreth, was among the best early sorts. The ears were of only 

 medium size, but they were well covered. The quality of the kernels, for corn of its 

 season, is very good, and, though it lacked in the size of its ears, the delicious flavor 

 makes it a desirable sort. 



Early Evergreen, sent out by D. M. Ferry & Co.. seems to occupy the place 

 among" early sorts that Stowell holds as a late variety. The ears mature at about 

 the same time as the Concord, but are a little larger, and the kernels are much like 

 Stowell's Evergreen. The quality is superior to that of Concord. 



First Crop, from Rawson, resembles Cory, but is not as good, as it smutted badly 

 and the kernels were of poorer quality, but it is a fair, eight-rowed sort.
