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

 aptly described : — 



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

 are much 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 " 



Mr. C. T. FLExniER, South Lancaster, writes: " I tind your Hanana Sufjar Corn to excel all others 

 I have grown for sweetness and tenderness. I have grown I'otter's Excelsior, Stowell's Evergreen, etc., 

 but the Banana is much better."
