growing and, in fact, the differences in the field are greater than 

 that between the ears and grain. The "Malakosby" may prove 

 to be a good sort to plant at the same time as the "Malamo," to 

 follow it in the sequence of the harvest of ears for the table. 



Reports from Testers of "Malakosby." 



"Every kernel planted of this corn germinated, and the plants 

 were very vigorous." "Most of the stalks of the corn, which I 

 planted early in pots, have given me two good ears each. The 

 quality is good." "The quality of this corn is all right." "Very 

 good ears." "Corn is very sweet and tender." "Kernel sweet 

 and skin tender." "Corn sweet, a fine extra early variety." "I 

 am much obliged for the corn, as it was fine. It was nice and 

 sweet and the kernels were large." "Quality of grains decidedly 

 good." "Grains fine, very sw^eet and full." "Quality good." 

 "An excellent variety almost as early as 'Sunrise' and ears uni- 

 form, large and very white." "The quality of 'Malakosby' was 

 excellent." "We have used the corn on table and find it sweet 

 and of good flavor." "Corn of good quality." "Most of the 

 grain of the corn was uniform. The grains were very sweet. 

 This corn is excellent for the table." "Quite early." "Very 

 fine corn and sweet." "Grains large, quality excellent." "I con- 

 sider this sweet corn very hardy because every hill came up when 

 other sweet corn had to be entirely replanted, having started to 

 plant on May i6th when weather was very unfavorable being 

 too wet and cold. Some ears were ready by August ist to use 

 for table, and proved to be of very fine flavor and well shaped. 

 The corn stalks are about five to six feet high, earing about eigh- 

 teen inches from ground and yielding one or two good ears to 

 stalk. Am very pleased to have some of this sweet corn in my 

 possession and intend to plant it for my early corn." "Ger- 

 mination was excellent and appearance is now good." "The 

 sweet corn you sent me this year is very much nicer than last. 

 The ears are much larger and the corn sweeter, and it was as early 

 as the other." "Quality excellent, equal it seems to me to that 

 of the 'Black Mexican,' but the grain is rather shallow. Very 

 early, ready to use fully as soon as 'Black Mexican,' planted 

 three w^eeks earlier than 'Malakosby.' " "The best early corn I 

 ever planted, stalks srnall, ears fair size, grain large and deep, 

 extremely small cob. Corn very sweet and fine flavor." "This 

 sweet corn was very early, ready for use even this backward
