July." "Nine hills were planted about forty inches each way 

 on April 26th. This corn was in the roasting stage July 22d. 

 Three to four ears were harvested from each hill, the picking 

 being continued until August 7th. The flavor was excellent." 

 "This corn is of a very fine quality and very sweet." "I find 

 the 'Malamo' sweet corn grown from the seed sent me to be of 

 good flavor. Large meaty grain well filled to end of ear, the 

 ears are not large, the plant matured in a short time and was of 

 medium height. I should consider it a good variety for an early 

 corn." "Corn very sweet." "Very early variety." "Planted 

 May 22d. Had our first corn July 30th. Plants about five feet 

 in height. Ears six to seven inches long. The cjuality extra 

 sweet for an early corn, as sweet as most of the later sorts." 

 "Plants of good size, six to seven feet, vigorous, productive, one 

 to two ears, ears of good size, regular, six to eight inches long, 

 well filled, Cjuality good." "Good ciuality for so early, find it a 

 few days earlier than 'Golden Bantam.' " "Earlier than the 

 'Burlington White' corn and sweeter. Stalks from three to six 

 feet high. Ears small." "Very early, sweet." "Quality good; 

 I am well pleased with it and will save all I can for seed." "The 

 corn was deliciously sweet, could not have been better. The ears 

 were very small, as were also the kernels. The soil here is very 

 sandy, and dry. I felt very proud of the corn." "Grains excep- 

 tionally plump, giving ears better appearance after husking than 

 before." "Quality excellent." "It is sweet and rich in flavor. 

 I am satisfied, if properly grown on rich soil, it would be 

 a most excellent early sweet corn." "Plants very strong and 

 vigorous, very handsome shaped ears, quality of grain fine, it is 

 the best sweet corn I ever saw." "Size of plant six feet; 

 large ears, grains of a good size and flavor." "It made a good 

 growth and the ears were of good size; in these respects, it was 

 a great improvement over the Russian parent, which I grew last 

 year." "I like the size of the grains, they are plump and well 

 formed." "The earliest of all our varieties to mature." "Ma- 

 tured early; stalks about five feet high." "Fair-sized stalks bear- 

 ing very sweet, medium-sized ears." "Plant rather small ; ear 

 large for size of stalk, quality of corn excellent." 



"Malakosby"— ("Malakhov-Crosby.) 



As in the previous year, the "Malakosby" was somewhat 

 later than the "Malamo," with the compensating advantage of 

 being larger. The two kinds are easily distinguished while
