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, large kinds, 3x3 feet. 

 Give frequent and thorough cultiva- 

 tion. Allow five to six grains to each 

 hill, but never allow more than three 

 plants to stand. 



SUGAR CORN. 



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; qt., 15c; peck. 50c; bush., $1.50. 



Adams' Extra Early. — Similar to the First Early Neck, 

 larger, but a fraction later; a favorite variety for early mar- 

 kets. Ear, 3c; doz., 20c; qt,, 15c; bush,, #1.50. 



Adams' Early. — A splendid earl)' variety and safe crop- 

 per. Doz., 25c; qt., 15c; peck, 50c; bush., $1.50. 



Premo.— World's earliest Sweet Corn. It not only com- 

 bines all the merits of the leading early varieties, but it is 

 also really superior to them all in size, quality and yield. 

 Premo can be planted as early as the Adams, for the young 

 plants withstand slight frosts, while other varieties are ten- 

 der 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. These ears measure one to two inches longer than 

 those of Cory or Adams, and matures sixty days after plant- 

 ing. Qt., 20c; peck, 70c; bush., $2.50. 



(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., 

 20c; peck, 70.; bush., $2.50. 



Eatliest Sheffield. — This new extra early Corn is the re- 

 sult 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 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., 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; ker- 

 nels pure white, sweet and tender. Qt.,15c; peck, 60c; 

 bush., $2.25. 



Perry Hybrid. — A very eary twelve-rowed variety, grow- 

 ing 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. 13 



Top 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 favorably 

 with the large later maturing varieties, both in quality and 

 yield. It is sure to delight all lovers of choice Sugar Corn. 

 Qt., 20c; peck, 75c; bush., $2.50. 



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

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



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, leav- 

 ing no signs of rows. Qt.. 15c; peck, 75.; bush., $2.25. 



Dobbin'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 Ever- 

 green and is equally as good for all purposes. The kernels 

 are very sweet and tender. The cob is small, with irregular 

 rows. Qt., 15c; peck, 65c; bush., $2.25. 



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

 well-filled ears; the kernels are 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 com- 

 pletely fills the interval between Cory and Stowell's Ever- 

 green. It is very prolific, generally bearing three to four 

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



Trucker's Favorite Sugar Corn is a very desirable second 

 early variety, of sweet and delicious flavor, producing a 

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

 bush., $2.25. 



Early Mammoth. — Resembles very much the late Mam- 

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

 ripens two weeks earlier. Qt., 15c; peck, 60.; 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 ad- 

 ditional 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 filled to the tip with long slender grains of the 

 most delicious flavor. Our stock being grown from the originator's, is 

 absolutely pure and as good as can be had 



Late 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.
