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, we class it among the Sugar Corns. Ear, 5c.; 
doz., 25c.; qt., 15c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50. 
Adams’ Extra Early.—Similar to the First Early 
Neck, larger, but a fraction later; a favorite variety for 
earlymarkets. Ear, 5c.: doz., 20c.; qt., 15c.; bush. $2.50. 
._/ Adams’ Early.—A splendid early variety and safe 
cropper. Doz., 25c.; qt., 15c.; peck, 75c.; bush., $2.50. 
Premo Sugar Corn.—Our attention was first called 
toythis extra early Sugar Corn by Mr.C. S. Clark, the well- 
kifown 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 thei 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 
matufe 60 days after planting. Ot., 25c.; peck, $1.75.; | 
bush., $6.00. 
_f Earliest Sheffield Sugar Corn.—Hardy as | 
Adams’, early as “First of All.’’? This new extra early is 
the result of across between the Cory and Extra Early 
Adams, by Dr. Van Fleet, the well-known hybridizer. It 
combines the robust growth and extreme hardiness of the 
Extra Early 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 variety is the | 
entire freedom from smut, which destroys so much of the 
extra early Corn. Qt., 25c.; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.00 | 
vy 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. Ot. 30c.; peck, 
$2.00; bush., $8.00.

V Cory.—The earliest Sweet Corn in cultivation; the 
ears are fair sized and of very fine quality. Qt., 25c.; peck, 
$1.75; bush., $7.00. 
/ Perry’s Hybrid.—A very early twelve-rowed va- 
riety, growing only 4% to 5 feet high, with ears set low on 
the stalk; large ears, well filled; very sweet and tender.

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., 80c.; peck, $2.00; bush., 
$8.00- 
YDobbin’s Early Evergreen.—The ears of this 
new corn grow eight inches long—are mostly 14 to 16 
rows. It ripens 10 to 12 days in advance of Stowell’s Ever- 
green and is equally as good for all purposes. The kernels 
are very sweet and tender. The cob issmall, with irregular 
rows. Qt., 30c.; peck, $2.00; bush., $8.00. 
¥ 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. Itisready 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. Ot., 30c.; peck, 
$2.00; bush., $8.00.

able second early variety, of sweet and delicious flavor,

and ripens two weeks earlier. Qt., 30c.; peck, $2.00; bush., 
$8.00. 
‘Stowell’s Evergreen. —Grown more extensively 
than any other; a favorite with canners and market gar-

absolutely pure and true to name. Qt., 30c.; peck, $2.00;
