Another very fine early corn is one that the Messrs 

 Sutton of Reading have imported into this country. This 

 is hardier and known as Button's Early Dwarf; it 

 is a very full i 



flavoured corn 

 and makes a 

 delicious vege- 

 table. The 

 White Pyrenean 

 is also early and 

 a 3 feet variety, 

 having whitish 

 brown seeds, and 

 is a very com- 

 pact grower. I 

 omitted to state 

 that I have with- 

 out difficulty 

 ripened seeds of 

 the Sutton Early 

 Dwarf. This is 

 a great gain, as 

 it shows its early 

 maturity and its 

 great value for 

 private gardens 

 in this country. 

 Other early kinds 

 are Ad am's Early, 

 a 3 feet, thick, 



short cob, and of good quality. Crosby's Early Sugar, 

 Early Dwarf Sugar, and Early Tom Thumb are good ; the 

 latter is a dwarf splendid variety. There are many others 

 well worth growing, such as Triumphant, Minnesota, 

 Metropolitan, and More's Concord and Country Gentle- 

 man ; these latter are favourites in the United States.
