; •* 1 qt. for 200 hills; 8 to 10 qts. in hills for an acre. 



ALL varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in rows four and one-half feet apart, and the seeds placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in 

 hills at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety, or the 

 richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of May. and continue successive plantings every 

 two or three weeks until the last week in July. In more southerly latitudes planting is begun a month earlier and continued a month later. 



Add 10 cents per quart extra if to be sent by mail. 



EARLY VARIETIES. 



CORY EARLY. (Red Cob.) The Cory is undoubtedly the earliest 

 of all and the very best extra early Sweet Corn. We have proved 

 it to be five days earlier than the Marblehead, which hitherto has 

 always taken the lead. Those desiring a first early variety can 

 make no mistake in planting the Cory. (See cut.) 10c. % pt.,

 ROSLYN HYBRID. Is a very large-growing sort, which ripens 



ten or twelve days later than Stabler's Early, and the quality of 



which is said to be finer than Stowell's Evergreen. 10c. % pt., 



15c. pt., 25c. qt., SI. 25 pk., $4.00 bush. 

 Moore's Early Concord. Ears large and well filled ; early and 



unsurpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. 10c. Y pt., 15c. 



pt., 25c. qt., SI. 25 pk., $4.00 bush. 



STABLER' S EARLY. A valuable second early corn, remarkably 

 large for so early a ripener, closely following the well-known 

 Marblehead. Yields an abundant crop, is desirable for family 

 use, and one of the most profitable for market or canning. (See 

 cut.) 10c. Y pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 



SQUANTUM. One of the sweetest varieties, and is largely used 

 for market and canning. It is a general favorite and is wonder- 

 fully productive. The Squantum is the variety used almost 

 exclusively at the famous R. I. clambakes, which is sufficient 



evidence of its quality.

THE "COUNTRY GENTLEMAN." ( See special description and 

 cut on page 13.) 15c. Y pt., 25c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S NEW RED COB EVERGREEN. This variety 

 is a sport from Stowell's Evergreen. It is a week or ten days 

 earlier than that variety, and produces three or four ears to a 

 stalk. The ears are set low on the stalks, are very thick and 

 regular in size, and are 16-rowed, very deep and of delicious 

 quality. 10c. Y P*-- 15 °- P*-» 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 



MAMMOTH. A late variety, producing ears of very large size 

 and fine flavor. It is unusually productive. (See cut.) 10c. ^pt., 

 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 



THE "HENDERSON." In the green condition when ready for 

 the table it is always pure white, and of a remarkably sweet and 

 rich flavor. The Henderson ripens about ten days earlier than 

 Stowell's Evergreen. It is one of the most valuable sorts for 

 canning purposes or for the market. (See cut.) 10c. Y pt-, 15c. 

 pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.50 bush. 



EGYPTIAN. Ears of large size ; the flavor peculiarly rich and 

 sweet. It is grown in large quantities for both canning and for 

 selling in the green state. Like all other large varieties, it 

 matures late. 10c. Y pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 



NE PLUS ULTRA. Very sweet and tender. The ears are short, 

 but the cob is very small, and the kernels of extraordinary depth, 

 pearly whiteness, and are irregularly crowded together on the 

 cob. 10c. Y pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.50 bush. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. Now recognized everywhere as a 

 standard variety, both for home use and market, and is the 

 general favorite. The ears are of a large size, grains deep, 

 exceptionally tender and sugary, and has the advantage of 

 remaining longer in the green state than any other. Our stock 

 has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to 

 a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of 

 this best of all late sorts. (See cut.) 10c. ^ pt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., 

 $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush.
