This A'ariety, now 

 depended npon by most 

 wide-awake growers 

 for Earliest Crops, is 

 being re-named and in- 

 troduced (?) by s e A^- 

 ^ral enterprising in- 

 dividuals, as a novelty 

 at liigii prices. 



it is the only very early variety worth growing. . It has become the standard variety 

 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 growtia, and productive ; ears of good 

 size, white, and of delicious flavor. In every respect the best early Corn yet before 



THE PUBLIC. 



W. T. HuTCHiNS, Esq., writes: "I have tried your Early Sweet Corn, 'First Crop,' and hereafter I 

 shall DISCARD THE CORY FOR IT. . . . Yours is very fine in quality. It is the first Sweet Early I ever 

 had." 



D. W. Arnold, Quincy, writes: "Your corn was the earliest in this neighborhood. 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 has been induced to try it, who does not plant it regularly after- 

 wards, to the exclusion of all other early sorts. We own aU the true stock. None 

 genuine except received direct from us. Per peck, $1.25; quart, 30 cents; quart, by- 

 mail, 40 cents ; packet, 10 cts. ; selected ears, 10 cts., free by mail ; ears, per 100, $5. 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN. 



This fine Sweet Corn is of the same appearance as the Banana variety, introduced by 

 us several years ago. It is somewhat larger in size, and a remarkably fine flavored 

 variety for family use. Per quart, 25 cents ; packet, 10 cents. 



SWEET CORN, NEW OR SPECIAL. 



EARLY OR BOSTON MARKET. The earliest twelve-rowed Corn. Dwarf, large- 

 eared, and delicious for the table. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; quart, 20 cts. ; peck, $1.25. 



LACKEY'S EARLY. An extra early sort, of very desirable quality. In our trials we 

 found it to be as early as the Cory, with larger ears and much sweeter. Kernels and 

 cob white. It will become popular for early crops. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; quart, 20 cts. 



NE PLUS ULTRA. A very productive, medium-late Sweet corn, with rather small 

 ears. The long, narrow kernels are in irregular rows on the cob. Quality very fine.

 quality. Per packet, 10 cents; quart, 20 cents. 



CHIVES; CLUMPS FOR SETTING. 



It has been impossible for us heretofore to furnish this excellent vegetable in 

 quantity. We now have a large stock, and ofier plants at a low price. Chives are per-, 

 fectly hardy and grow in any soil. They are the finest flavored of the Onion family, and 

 are used in soups, salads, stews, etc. Per dozen clumps, 75 cents; by mail, per 

 dozen, $1 ; each, 10 cents.

 "White Spine Cucumber in existence. 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 by care 

 and skill produced a very perfect and shapely 

 CUCUM15ER, WHICH HAS NO SUPERIOR FOR TABLE USE, and foT making tender, juicy pickles. 

 The color is a fine dark green. Stock seed from Mr. Buxton. Per ounce, 20 cents;
