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, 2x3 feet, 

 and for the late,largekinds,3x3 feet. 

 Give frequent and thorough culti- 

 vation. Allot five to six grains to 

 each hill, but neverallow more than 

 three plants to stand. 



Sugar Com, 



1 quart, 200 hills; 10 quarts, 1 acre. 



For the convenience of our 

 customers we have arranged 

 the following list in order of 

 the earliness : 



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. ; 

 fltyftc; peck, 50c; bush., $ 1.50. 



wAdams' 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., 15c; peck, 50c; bush, $1.50. 

 Vrrenio. — 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. Prenio can be planted as early as the Adams, for the 

 young 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. The^e 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. 



y (New) Peep o' Day. — Is of recent introduction, and 

 is credited by many as being exceptionally early, comparing 

 favorably with the Premo of unparalleled sweetness. The 

 stalks bear from two to five ears each and are very dwarf, 

 which admits of their being planted close together. Qt., 



\2Q?rfpeck, 70.; bush, $2.50. 



^Earliest Sheffield. — 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 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 u^e earlier, and of much finer quality. One of its 

 strongest^eeommendations as a market variety is the entire 

 freedom from smut, which destroys so much of the extra 

 ea^Corn. Qt , 20c; peck. 60c; bush., $2.25. 



Kendel's Early Giant Sweet Corn.— This is not a 

 mere novelty, but is of real merit. Ears large, measuring 

 eight to ten inches long, having ten to twelve rows on each 

 cob; kernels pure white, sweet and tender. Qt., 15c; peck, 

 60jk; bush., $2.25. 



^^Perry Hybrid. — A very early twelve-rowed variety, 

 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., 15c; peck, 60c; bush., $2.25.3 



'op Notch (New). — This new extra early variety 

 possesses unusual merit, produces fine large ears three days 

 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 

 C0rn. Qt., 20c; peck, 75c ; bush., $2 50. 

 IX Cory. — The popular extra early Sweet Corn. Ears are fair- 

 ^sized and of very fine quality. Qt., 15c; peck, 60c; bush., $2. 



k Country Gentleman. — Very deep grains, small cob 

 d 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. 

 lJ>*f»bbin'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. Ot., 15c; peck, 65c; bush., $2.25. 

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

 Targe, well-filled ears; the kernelsare of pearly whiteness 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 

 foj£ ears to the stalk. Qt., 15c; peck, 60c ; bush. . $2.25. 

 V^ r ucker's Favorite Sugar Corn is a very desirable 

 second early variety, of sweet and delicious flavor, produc- 

 ing a large ear well filled to the end. Qt., 15c; peck, 60c; 

 bush., $2.25. 



VfEaiiy Mammoth. — Resembles very much the Late 

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

 rrrarhs two weeks earlier. Qt., 15c; peck, 60c;, bush. ,$2.00. 

 ^/stowell's Evergreen.— Grown more extensively than 

 any other; a favorite with canners and market gardeners 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 absolutely 

 pure^and true to name.* [Qt., 15c; peck, 60c; bush., $2.00. 



^{•white Evergreen.— This valuable Sweet Corn possesses^all the 

 good points of our Eastern-grown strain of Stowell's Evergreen, 

 with the additional advantage that In the green state both cob and 

 grains are pure white. The quality is of the very best. There is 

 nothing in late Corn that can equal it. The stalks are strong and 

 vigorous, the ears are very large and uniformly well tilled to the 

 tip with long slender grains ot the most delicious flavor. Our stock 

 beipg grown from the originator's, is absolutely pure and as good 'as 

 ^%n be had. 



VEate Mammoth. — This variety produces larger ears 

 than any other Sweet Corn; very weighty and profitable for 

 growers selling by the ton. Qt., 15c ; peck, 60c; bush, $2.00.
