COR N—Continued. 
* eae et Early Giant Sweet Corn.—We find 
it possesses great merit. It is very early, being fit for 
use in 60 days from planting. The ears are large, 8 
to 10 inches in length, the majority having 12 rows to 
acob. Kernels pure white, very sweet, and tender. 
It Is also a most productive variety, and will prove a 
valuable acquisition toevery home or market gardener 
who plants it. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon, 60c. 
Peck, goc. Bushel, $2.50. 
—— Extra Early Evergreen.—For many years the 
Stowell’s Evergreen has been the most popular Sweet 
Corn. A grower knowing this has repeatedly made 
selections for earliness, and the result is the ‘‘ Extra 
Early Evergreen.’’ It ripems about Io days earlier, 
and produces ears a trifle shorter than the Stowell’s, 
but the quality is equally as good. It is a splendid 
variety to come in between the early and late sorts, 
and is destined to become as popular as the Stowell’s 
Evergreen. Pint, loc. Quart, 5c. Gallon, 4oc. 
Peck, 65c. Bushel, $2.50. 
Early Fordhook.—tThis is the largest-eared extra 
early true sweet corn, averaging 7 inches in length. 
It is two to three days earlier than the Cory, and has 
both grains and cob of pure white coloring. The ears 
are 8-rowed, with quite small cob and deep grains, 
While of much the same habit of growth itis greatly 
superior to the Cory in sweetness of flavor. Pint, I5c. 
Quart, 25c. Gallon, 60c. Peck, $1. Bushel, $3.25. 
Stowell’s Evergreen Sugar.—This is not only 
the most celebrated, but the most popular of all va- 
rieties, although not an early sort. It is, without 
any exception, the best for table use of the entire lot, 
although quite late. Some may observe they have 
tried it and found it not equal to the ordinary sugar. 
To such we say you have not had the pure stock, as 
no variety degenerates so quickly, without the grower 
is exceedingly careful. We have very frequently 
observed samples sent out by some seed establish- 
ments as Stowell’s Evergreen that were composed of 
several varieties, caused by being grown in the 
vicinity. Pint, toc. Quart, 20c. Gallon, 4oc. Peck, 
75c. Bushel, $2.50. Per dozen, 40c. Per 100, $2.50. 
Stabler’s Pedigree.—Grains deep, straight- 
rowed ; bears two handsome ears to the stalk. A few 
days later than Stabler’s Early, with ears larger and 
sweeter. Pint, Ioc. Quart, 20c. Gallon, 50c. Peck, 
goc. Bushel, $2.50. 1 dozen, 4oc. 
Large Late Mammoth Sugar Corn.—The 
largest of all the sugar varieties, producing perfect 
ears of immense size, having from twelve to sixteen 
rows. A fine market variety, and follows the New 
England eight-rowed sugar in ripening. Sweet and 
delicious. Pint, toc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 4oc. Peck, 
75c. Bushel, $2.50. Perdozen, 45c. Per 100, $2.50. 
‘country Gentlemen’s Sweet Corn.—The 
eep, shoe-peg kernels are placed irregnlarly, but 
compactly, upon the cob, It is very prolific, gener- 
ally bearing three to five ears to the stalk, and ma- 
tures alittle before Stowell’s Evergreen, being sweeter 
and more sugary to the taste even than that well- 
known standard of quality. Pint, toc. Quart, 20c. 
Gallon, 4oc. Peck, 75c. Bushel, $2.50. 
YW) Black Mexican Sugar.—The most tender and 
sweetest of the sugar varietiss. Ear, 5c. Pint, Ioc. 
Ouart, 20c.

FIELD CORN. 
(FELD-KORN.) 
yA Ae Early Dent Corn.—It is the largest 
eared early Dent Corn and the largest grain of any 
eariy Dent Corn. It grows strong, rank, quick, and 
makes the finest appearing shelled corn of them all, 
being purely Dent, of two shades of white and yellow. 
Pint, toc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 30c. Peck, 5oc. 
Bushel, $1.25. 
| i Hickory King” White Corn.—This white 
el 
’ Peck, 50e. 
d corn has the largest grains, with the smallest 
cob, of any white corn. So large are the grains and 
so small the cob that on a ear broken in half a single 
grain will almost completely cover the cob section. 
Of strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in the 
ground and stand upright, resisting severe storms. 
It yields splendid crops on light soil, and is undoubt- 
edly the best and most productive white field corn for 
the South. Pint, roc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 30c. Peck, 
50c. Bushel, $1.25. 
“ Iowa Gold Mine.—A selected strain, ripening 
only a few days later than the Pride of the North. 
Ears of good size end symmetrical. Color a bright, 
golden yellow. Grain very deep. Cob small, drying 
out quickly when ripe. From 7o pounds of ears 60 to 
62 pounds of shelled corn may be obtained, of highest 
market quality. Pint, loc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 30c. 
Bushel, $1.25. 
Mammoth Golden Beauty Corn.—New va- 
riety ; has the largest ears of any Ioo-day corn. It 
outyields any and all other corn. The increased yield 
repays the cost of the seed many times over. Growers 
should make sure of getting the largest yield and 
most handsome grain to meet the competition of the 
times and secure the highest prices. Ears usually 
average from nine to twelve inches long and from 
twenty to thirty rows on the cob, some of the stalks 
bearing from two to three ears. Then why use your 
poor stock any longer? It attracts a great deal of 
attention. Pint, Ioc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 30c. Peck, 
50Cy Bushel, $1.25. 
Improved Early Leaming Corn.—The Leam- 
ing is the earliest Yellow Dent Corn in cultivation, 
ripening in from ninety to one hundred days from the 
time of planting. Its extreme earliness, productive- 
ness, and fiie qnality has made it very popular with 
those in the localities where the seasons are short. It 
produces from sixty-five to ninety bushels to the 
acre, in accordance with the quality of the soil. The 
ears and grains are of medium size. Pint, roc. Quart, 
15c. Peck, 50c. Bushel, $1.50, 5 bushels at $1.40. 
to bushels at $1.30. 
_— Mortgage-Lifter Corn. 
Makes two to three very large ears to the stalk. 
Fodder is rank in growthand matures about the mid- 
dle of September. The name indicates that in pro- 
ductiveness it has few, if any, equals. It is trulya 
mortgage raiser and should be planted largely. Pint, 
Toc. Quart, 15c. Gallon, 30c. Peck, 50c. Bushel, $1.25.
