Stowell’s Evergreen Sugar.—This is not 
only the most celebrated, but the most pop- 
ular of all varieties, 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 find it not equal to theordinary 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 establishments as Stowell’s Ever- 
green that were composed of several varieties, 
caused by being grown in the vicinity.

illespie’s First Early Neck Corn.—Gillespie’s Extra 
arly Neck Corn is the first in the market and often brings 
large prices because it has the market all toitself. It ma- 
tures very quick, but has anadditional advantage—this corn 
does not rot when planted early, hence gets a long start on 
tender sorts. Ear.5c. Dozen,25c. Pint,10c. Quart, l5c.

as Imitation or Burlington Hybrid is a cross between 
A 
dam’s Extra Early and a large-eared, productive variety 
of Sugar Corn. Its great market value ean be readily seen 
from the fact that itis as early as the Adam’s, with an ear 
fully as large as Stowell’s Evergreen, and more productive 
than either, producing equal to the most prolific field corn, 
it having frequently produced over one hundred bushels to 
the acre grown fora field crop. Although not legitimately 
a Sugar Corn, yet the husks. blades and ear ina green state 
exactly resembles the sugar varieties, and it sells readily in 
the market as a sweet or sugar corn.

Red Cob 90-Day Corn.—This corn meets a felt want of 
— the market gardener, because it suits the retail market 
sales for a tall corn,and when fully mature makes a first- 
class crop corn for feeding to stock. The ear is large and 
handsome and suits for an early crop or for a late crop, be- 
cause it matures in ninety days. This makes it always a safe 
and profitable crop.

FIELD CORN. —selt-Sorn. 
Mammoth Golden Beauty Corn.—New variety ; has the 
largest ears of any 100-day corn. It outyields any and all 
othercorn. 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 competi- 
tion 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, and some of the stalks 
bearing three to five ears. Then why use your poor stock 
any longer’ It attracted a great deal of attention in °97.

CULTURE OF CORN. 
Plant for early use soon as the season allows, and at inter- 
vals untillastof July. The soil should be very rich, or the 
hills may be enriched by incorporating rotten manure pre- 
vious to planting. Plant in hills three or four feet apart. 
Allot eight grains to each hill, but never allow more than 
three plants to stand. Thorough cultivation is necessary to 
insure a full crop.
