SWEET CORN 



Early Adams. The grain is tender and 

 white, and very good for so early a corn. It 

 needs to be harvested very promptly in 

 order to be of any value for consumption. 



Adams Improved. Sometimes called 

 Dreadnought. It is another selection of 

 Adams Early, and is slightly earlier in 

 season and a little larger, finer ear than 

 the Early Adams. Otherwise than that, it 

 has but few, if any different characteristics 

 from the first. 



Aristocrat. This is a reliable variety 

 which for a number of years was controlled 

 by a gardener at Newport, R. I. The 

 gardener was able to produce a corn which 

 was extremely early. Therefore, he was able 

 to obtain a high price for his corn. The 

 stalk grows generally 4 to 6 feet' high and 

 the ears from 8 to 10 inches long. The 

 grains are extremely sweet for such an early 

 variety. They are decidedly broad. 



Best of All. It is a stocky growing 

 plant about S to 6 feet tall. The ears are 

 large, averaging about 8 to 9 inches in 

 length. The kernels are broad, quite sweet,
