Henderson's "Astor" Sweet Corn. Briefly, 

 this is a smaller and earlier strain of 

 White Cob Cory. The plant is from 4 

 to 5 feet high; sturdy in habit and 

 bearing two ears set 18 inches from the 

 ground. These have from eight to twelve 

 rows of creamy-white grains, arranged in 

 rows so compactly set together that there 

 is no space between. (See engraving) . . 



Pocahontas. Early sweet flavored 15 



Crosby's Early. A second-early; ears 7 inch- 

 es long; fine quality 15 



The "Henderson." The best second early. 

 The "Henderson" Corn produces uni- 

 formly large, thick ears, compactly filled 

 from butt to tip with long, milky white 

 kernels of luscious tenderness. The 

 plant is luxuriant, healthy and vigorous. 

 (See engraving) 15 



Stowell's Evergreen. A standard variety 

 both for home use and market, and a 

 general favorite. The ears are of a large 

 size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and 

 sugary, and have the advantage of remain- 

 ing longer in the green state than any 

 other . 15 



Corn (except packets) is not delivered free.

Finocchio, or Florence Fennel. A delicious vege- 

 table which should be largely grown. It is ex- 

 tensively used in Italy as a salad, and also may 



be served boiled. When the leaf stalk, at base of 



stem, is about the size of a hen's egg it should be 



earthed up so as to cover half of it, and in about 



ten days cutting may be commenced and con- 



tinned as the plants increase in growth. The 



flavor is somewhat like celery, with a sweet 



taste and delicate odor. (See engraving) 5 20
