planting. It has no fine table qualities, but as 
it grows to a good size, and is matured in about 
forty days from time of planting, it meets with 
ready sale in the market, and for these reasons 
gardeners prefer it. 
Early Sugar, or New England. 
A long eight-rowed variety, which succeeds 
the Early sorts. Desirable kind. ~ 
Stowel’s Evergreen Sugar. This 
is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is an early 
Corn, but the ears are of large size, and are 
well filled. It remains green longer than any 
other variety, and is quite productive. The 
cultivation of this excellent cereal, as well as 
all other Sugar Corn, is much neglected, yet 
why people will plant common field-corn for 
table use, considering size instead of quality, 
I can not understand. 
Golden Dent Gourd Seed. A field 
variety which is very productive at the North. 
It makes a very fine Corn South, but has to be 
planted here several years in succession before 
it attains perfection, as during the first year 
the ears are not well covered by the husk, 
which is the case with all Northern varieties.

excellent Corn, with large, fine ears, grain 
deep and cob of medium size.

well here. 
Large White Flint. A very popular 
variety with gardeners and amateurs. It is 
planted here for table use principally, but like 
the Golden Dent, makes an excellent kind for 
field culture after it has been planted here for 
two. or three years. 
Blunt’s Prolific Field Corn. This 
is a very excellent variety, either for the field 
or for the table. It is very prolific, producing 
from four to six ears of corn. They are of 
medium size, but well filled and heavy. It is 
second early. This variety has done better 
than any other, and being of Southern origin, 
it seems to be better adapted to our climate. 
I recommend it as an early yielding Corn for 
field culture. 
Improved Leaming. An extra early 
field variety. Itis not hard and flinty, but sweet 
and nutritious, making excellent feed and fine
