Xovelties and Siyecialties, 1802, 



1 hare tried your Early Sweet Corn, 'First Crop,' and hereafter 1 

 . Yours is very fine in quality. It is the first Swbst Early I ever had. 



None Genuine 



Without Seal. 



FARQUHAR'S FIRST-CROP SUGAR CORN-Concluded. 



It is the only very early variety worth growini^, as all others are either without flavor, or 

 80 small as to be worthless when compared with our First Crop. It has become the standard 

 Tariety with amateurs, gardeners, and market growers, being fully as early as the flavorless 

 Cory, and entirely free from any red color. It is of low growth, and productive; ears of 

 good size; kernels quite large, white, and of delicious flavor. In every respect the best 

 EARLY Corn yet before the public. 



W. T. Ilutohins, Esq., write 



shall DISCARD THE CoRY FOB IT. 

 Eliiugton, Cc, Jul\-, 1S91." 



D. W. Arnold, Quincy, writes : *• Your corn was the earliest in this neighborhood by several days. My 

 neighbor planted the ' Cory,' and I beat him by several days. Yours is also of good size, and very sweet." 



Scores of similar testimonials from customers have been received, and we do not know 

 of any one who lias been induced to try it, who does not plant it regularly afterwards, to the 

 exclusion of all other early sorts. We ow^n all the true stock. None genuine except received 

 direct from us. Per Peck, $1.50; Quart, 30 cents; Quart, by mail, 40 cents; Packet, 10 

 cents; Selected Ears, 10 cents, free by mail; Ears, per 100, $5.00. 



Improved Early Crosby Corn. 



Some years ago we bought a few remarkable ears of Corn raised 

 by a hybridizer from the Original Crosby. We have raised from these 

 choice ears sufficient stock to offer seed in limited quantity. This 

 selection has all the good points of the old sort combined with extreme 



EARLINESS, LARGE SIZE AND FINE QUALITY OF EAR. Being of loW 



growth, and with its heavy crop of ears low down, it may be planted 

 very close, and is just the sort for all who raise Sweet Corn for 

 their own table. Per Packet, 10 cents; Quart, 40 cents; Quart by 

 mail, 50 cents; Ears, 10 cents, by mail; per Dozen Ears, 75 cents. 



Farquhar's Banana Sugar Corn. 



The STveetest and Most Delicious Table Corn in Cultivation. 



Not a large, coarse-growing, marketing sort, but is the finest for every lover of good 

 Sweet Corn for home use. It is the Corn for the epicure. Many letters have been sent us in 

 its praise, from which we select those of three well-known gentlemen, in which it is very 

 aptly described : — 



Mr. W. J. Green, of the Ohio AGRicuLTtmAL Experiment Station, Columbus, O., writes: "We 

 are raufh pleased with the quality of the Banana Sweet Corn. It cannot fail to become a popular variety for 

 home use, and will, no doubt, sell well in market wherever it becomes known." 



Hon. H. Broavn, West Newbury, Mass., writes: "Messrs. Farquhar : I send you sample of Banana 

 Sweet Corn raisefl from seed I bought of you last spring. I pronounce this variety the best I ever raised. It 

 has a fine flavor, is tender, creamy, and devoid oiskinniness, so common in other sorts. Indeed, in eatins; it one 

 would hardly notice that it had a skin. It is of medium height, takes pood hold of the ground, stands up 

 well, and yields abundantly, most stalks bearing two ears, some three and four; one I send you has six, as 

 you will see. Owing to its juciness it requires great care m curing it for seed." 



Mr. C. T. Fletcher, South Lancaster, writes : "I find your Banana Susrar Corn to excel all others I 

 have grown f >r sweetness and tenderness. I have grown Potter's Excelsior, Stowell's Evergreen, etc., but the 

 Banana is mucli better." 



Per Quart, 40 cents ; by mail, 50 cents ; per Packet, 10 cents ; Ear, 10 cents. 



BUXTON'S Prize Cucumber. 



Among all the strains of Cucumbers 

 exhibited in Boston last year, this was 

 by a long way the finest. Originally 

 from White Spine Stock, Mr. Buxton 

 has bv care and skill produced a very 



PERFn^T and SHAPELY CLCUM HER, WHICH 

 HAS NO SUPERIOR FOR TABLE USE, and 



for making tender, juicy pickles. The 

 color is a fine dark green. The Prize 

 Card figured is only one of many gained 

 by Mr. Buxton, of whom we purchased 

 the whole stoc^k of seed. Per Ounce, 

 30 cents ; per Packet, 10 cents.
