' Fir!<t Early Neck. — This variety can be planted 

 earlier than any other sort; ear short, grain white. It is not 

 a Sugar Corn, bttt on account of its being largely 

 table use, we class it among the Sugar Corns. 

 doz., 25c.; bush., $1.50. 

 J Adams' Extra Early. — Similar to the First Early 

 NBck, larger, but a fraction later, a favorite variety for early 

 markets. Ear, 5c.; doz., 20c.; qt., 15c.; bush., iSl.50. 



v-'Adatns' Early. — A splendid early variety and safe 

 cropper. Doz. 2Uc.; qt., 15c.; bush., .$1.50. 



„.i-»»- Prenio Sugar Corn.— Our attention was first called 

 to this extra early .Sugar Corn by Mr. C. S. Clark, the well 

 known corn specialist of Ohio, two years ago, and close 

 observation has convinced us that his claims are substan- 

 tial. Premo Corn combines all the merits of the leading 

 early varieties, and really superior to some of them in size, 

 quality and yield. It can be planted fully as early as the 

 Adams, for the plants withstand slight frosts, the stalks 

 grow about five feet high, and are very vigorous, generally 

 bearing two well-developed ears to a stalk. The ears meas- 

 ure ^-^-inch longer than those of Cory or Adams and will 

 mature GO days after planting. Qt., 25c.; peck, .$1.50. 

 ^Earliest Sheffield Sujiar Corn. — Hardy as 

 Adams', early as ' First of All. " This new extra early is 

 the result of a cross between the Cory and Extra Early 

 Adams, hj Dr. Van Fleet, the well-known hybridizer. If 

 combines the robust growth and extreme hardiness of the 

 Extra Earl}' Adams, with the finer sugary quality of the 

 Cory. Ears average six inches in length and are well filled 

 with grains of medium size, arranged in ten or twelve regu- 

 lar 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 finer quality. One of its 

 strongest recommendations as a market varietj' is the entire 

 freedom from smut, which destroys so mtich of the extra 

 early Corn. Ot., 20c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.50. 



|. Kendel's Early Giant, Sweet Corn.— This is 

 not a mere novelt}', 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 an 1 tender. Gar- 

 deners report this Corn ready to use in sixtj' days, grown 

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

 truckers report ready sales, and are enthusiastic over its 

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

 70c.,; bush., $2.25. 



J^'y Cory. — The earliest Sweet Corn in cultivation; the 

 ear/ are fair sized and very fine quality. Qt., 15c.; peck, 

 60/.; bush., $2.00. 



■ * Late Manimotb. — This variety produces larger ears 

 than any other Sweet Corn; very weighty and profitable for 

 growers, selling by the ton. Ot., 20c.; peck, 60c.; bush., 

 S2.25. 



Shaker's Early. 



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 Corj- 

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

 ing three to four ears to the stalk. Qt., 15c.; peck, 60c; 

 bush., $2.25. 



^' Perry's Hybrid. — A very early, twelve-rowed va- 

 riet}', growing only A'^ to 5 feet high, with ears set low on 

 the stalk; large ears, well filled; very sweet and tender. 

 Qt., 15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., $2.00. 



r 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, 60c.; bush., 



$2.25. 



^,;(>» Dobbin's Eetrly Evergreen. — The ears of this 

 new corn grow 8 inches long — are mostly 14 to 16 rows. It 

 ripens 10 to 12 days in advance of Stowell's Evergreen and 

 is equally as good for all purposes. The kernels are verj- 

 sweet and tender. The cob is small, with irregular rows. 

 Qt., 15c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.50. 



'Stowell's Eversfreen. — 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; very productive and remains for a 

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

 solutely pure and true to name. Qt., 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., 

 $2.50. 



* Trucker's Favorite Sugar Corn is a very desir- 

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

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

 75c^bush., $2-50. 



v/^Earlv Mammoth. — Resembles very much the Late 

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

 and ripens two w^eeks earlier. Qt , 15c.; peck, 60c.; bush., 

 $2.25.
