HISTORY' OF- SWEET CORN 



in 1829, in his "Complete Manual of the 

 Garden," mentioned sweet corn; nor Bona- 

 fous, in his pubUshed folio works in 1836. 

 So, by this, it must have been at a later 

 date when the sweet corn reached con- 

 tinental Europe. 



In 1883, Vilmorin, the great French 

 gardener and seedsman, names and describes 

 seven varieties, all of which have American 

 names.
