Plant for EXTRA EARLY, . . . 



WHITE COB CORY. 



An extremely early variety, usually fit to 

 use in from fifty to sixty days from seed 

 sowing. It is not only the earliest of all 

 good sweet corns, but is one of the sweet- 

 est and best. It is a sport or selection 

 from the famous " Red Cob Cory," which 

 for years held popular favor as the best 

 first early. ' ' White Cob " Cory retains all 

 of the good qualities of its parent, with the 

 added merits of having a white cob and 

 white kernels, free from the objectionable 

 reddish tinge that sometimes occurred in 

 the red cob variety. The plants are dwarf 

 and stocky, enabling them to be closely 

 planted ; usually two ears are borne on a 

 stalk. It is not only the best first early 

 sweet corn, but is valuable to plant late in 

 summer for autumn use. 

 Pbice, 10c. pkt., 15c. pint, 25c. quart, 

 $1.00 peck, $3.50 bushel.

Plant for MEDIUM EARLY, . . . 



EARLY CHAMPION. 



"While this is comparatively a new vari- 

 ety to the general public, yet it has really 

 been grown for two or three years by a few 

 people in many sections of the country, 

 and from them we hear nothing but praise 

 about it. These encomiums, and our own 

 opinions of its merits, formed from our 

 thorough trials, convince us that "Early 

 Champion" is destined to become the 

 leader among medium early sweet corns. 

 It is the earliest large variety grown, be- 

 ing but a few days later than small extra 

 earlies. It is as early as "Crosby's," yet 

 it is as large, and often larger, than "Con- 

 cord." Early Champion is a 12-rowed vari- 

 ety, with large handsome ears filled with 

 plump, deep white kernels, that retain 

 their milky tenderness for an unusually 

 long period. Quality and flavor surpass- 

 ingly fine and sweet. Valuable for either 

 home use or for market. Very productive. 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 20c. pint, 30c. quart, 

 $1.25 peck, $4.0t) bushel.

"THE HENDERSON." 



This is an ideal corn, and has been con- 

 tinually growing in popular favor since its 

 introduction. It follows after the early 

 varieties, and is ready for the table about 

 ten days to two weeks before the latest 

 sorts. The notable merits of "The Hen- 

 derson " are uniformly large, thick ears, 

 averaging twelve inches in length, being 

 compactly filled from butt to tip with long 

 milky white kernels of luscious tender- 

 ness and deliciously rich flavor. This 

 toothsome quality is retained for a much 

 longer time than with most corns. The 

 plants are luxuriant, healthy growers, are 

 scarcely affected by drought, and are won- 

 derfully prolific. For the home garden it 

 is peerless, and is one of the most valuable 

 sorts grown for canning and market. 

 Pbice, 10c. pkt., 15c. pint, 25c. quart, 

 $1.00 peck, $3.50 bushel.

Plant for MAIN CROP and LATE, . . 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. 



The finest of all Sweet Corns for the 



private table. The arrangement of the 

 kernels on the cob indicates high quality. 

 The moment your teeth sink into this lus- 

 cious, milky, tender Corn, you will become 

 a complete convert to it, for it will delight 

 the most fastidious epicure. It retains its 

 delicate tenderness and flavor even when 

 a little old, as the ears are inclosed in a 

 heavy husk, which tends to keep the ear 

 " in the milk " for several days longer than 

 other corns. The ears average eight to 

 nine inches in length, cob small and 

 plump, pearly white kernels of great depth 

 fill the ear from end to end. It produces 

 three, many times four, and occasionally 

 five and six ears to a stalk. But the great 

 merit of the "Country Gentleman" Corn is 

 its delicious quality ; it is, without doubt, 

 the sweetest and most tender of any Sweet 

 Corn. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., $1.25 peck, $4.00 bush.
