J. MANNS & CO.'S CHOICE SEEDS. 



^ugar Com, 



1 qt., 200 hills; 10 qts., 1 acre. 



The Sugar or Sweet varieties should not be planted until May, or when the ground has become warm, and for a succession every'ten 

 days or two weeks, until the last of July, in hills— for early varieties. 3x3 feet, and for the late, large kinds, 3x3 feet. Give frequent'and 

 thorough cultivation. Allot five to six grains to each hill, but never allow more than three plants to stand. 



First Early Neck. — This variety can be planted 

 earlier than any other sort; ear short, grain white. It is 

 not a Sugar Corn, but, on account of its being largely sold 

 for table use, vfe class it among the Sugar Corns. Ear, 5c : 

 doz , 25c.; qt , 15c.; peck., 50c.; bush., $1.50. 



Adams' Extra Early. — Similar to the First Early 

 Neck, larger, but a fraction later; a favorite variety for 

 early markets. Ear, 3c.; doz., 20c.; qt., 15c.; bush., $1.50. 



Adams' Early. — A splendid early variety and safe 

 cropper. Doz., 25c.; qt , I5c.; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.50. 



Premo. — World's earliest Sweet Corn. It not only 

 combines all the merits of the leading early varieties, but 

 it is also really superior to them all in size, quality and 

 yield. Premo can be planted as early as the Adams, for the 

 j'oung plants withstand slight frosts, while other varieties 

 are tender and the seeds will rot if planted before the soil 

 becomes warm. The stalks grow about five feet high, and 

 are very vigorous, generally bearing two well developed 

 ears to a stalk. These ears measure one to two inches 

 longer than those of Cory or Adams, and matures sixty 

 days after planting. Qt., 20c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.50. 



Earliest SlieflEield. — This new extra early Corn is 

 the result of a cross between the Cory and Extra Early 

 Adams. It combines the robust growth and extreme hardi- 

 ness of the Extra Early Adams with the finer sugar}' qual- 

 ity of the Cory. Ears average six inches in length and are 

 well filled with grains of medium size, arranged in ten or 

 twelve regular rows. The grains are juicy and of fine, 

 sweet flavor, if gathered at the proper stage. It is as hardy 

 as the Adams, ready for use earlier, and of much iiner 

 quality. One of its strongest recommendations as a market 

 variety is the entire freedom from smut, which destroys so 

 much of the extra early Corn. Qt., 20c.; peck, 60c., bus., 

 $3.25 



Kendel's Early Giant Sweet Corn.— This is 

 not a mere novelty, but is of real merit. Ears large, meas- 

 uring eight to ten inches long, having ten to twelve rows 

 on each cob; kernels pure white, sweet and tender. Gar- 

 deners report this Corn ready to use in sixty days, grown 

 on sand, and seventy-two days on heavy clay. Dealers and 

 truckers report ready sales, and are enthusiastic over its 

 earliness, large size and productiveness. Qt., 15c.; peck, 

 60c.; bush., $2.25. 



Perry's Hybrid. — A very early twelve-rowed vari- 

 ety, growing only four and a-half to five feet high, with 

 ears set low on the stalk; large ears, well filled; very sweet 

 and tender. Qt., \bc.; peck, OOc; bush., $2.25. 



Top Notch (New). — This new extra early variety 

 possesses unusual merit, produces fine large ears three da}'s 

 in advance of Early Sheffield. Size of ears compare favor- 

 ably with the large later maturing varieties, both in quality 

 and yield. It is sure to delight all lovers of choice Sugar 

 Corn. Qt., 20c.; peck, 90c. 



Cory.— The popular extra early Sweet Corn. Ears 

 are fair sized and of very fine qualitv. Qt., 15c.; peck, 

 60c ; bush., $2.00. 



Country Gentleman. — Very deep grains, small 

 cob and exceedingly rich flavor. Often produces three or 

 four ears to the stalk. The grains are "staggered" on the 

 cob, leaving no signs of rows. Qt., 15c.; peck, 75c.; bush., 

 $2.25. 



Dobbin's Early Evergreen. — The ears of this 

 new Corn grow eight inches long; are mostly fourteen to 

 sixteen rows. It ripens ten to twelve days in advance of 

 Stowell's Evergreen and is equally as good for all purposes. 

 The kernels are very sweet and tender. The cob is small, 

 with irregular rows. Qt., 15c.; peck, 65c.; bush., $3.25. 



Shaker's Early. — This is a superb early variety, 

 with large, well filled ears; the kernels are of pearly white- 

 ness and most delicious, sweet flavor. It is ready to market 

 one week after Cory Corn, while the ears are very much 

 larger, and it completely fills the interval between Cory 

 and Stowell's Evergreen. It is very prolific, generally 

 bearing three to four ears to the stalk. Qt., 15c.; peck, 

 6')c.; bush., .$2.25. 



Trucker's Favorite Sugar Corn is a very desir- 

 able second early variety, of sweet and delicious flavor, pro- 

 ducing a large ear well filled to the end. Qt., 15c.; peck, 

 60c.; bush., $2.25. 



Early Mammoth. — Resembles very much the Late 

 Mammoth; the ears are fully as long, but more tapering, 

 and ripens two weeks earlier. Qt., l&c; peck, 60c.; bush., 

 $2.00. 



Stow^ell's Evergreen. — Grown more extensively 

 than any other; a favorite with canners and market garden- 

 ers for late use. The ears are of large size, kernels very 

 deep, tender and sugary; ver}' productive and remains for a 

 long time in fit condition for table use. Our stock is abso- 

 lutely pure and true to name. Qt., 15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., 

 13.00. 



Late Mammoth. — This variety produces larger 

 ears than any other Sweet Corn; very weighty pnd profit- 

 able for growers selling bv the ton. Qt., 15c.; peck, 60c.; 

 bush., $2.00.
