Plant in hills about three feet apart, drop four to five seeds and thin out to two 
or three. Where the ground is strong the Adam’s Extra Early and Crosby’s Sugar 
can be planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more 
dwarfish than the other kinds. 
Extra Early, or Crosby’s Dwarf 
Sugar. This is a very early variety 
and of excellent quality. Ears small, 
but very tender. Itis not so extensively 
planted as it deserves to be. 
Adanv’s Extra Early, the most 
popular variety with market gardeners 
for first 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 réasons 
gardeners prefer it. 
Early Sugar, or New England. 
A long eight-rowed variety, which suc- 
ceeds the Extra Early sorts. Desirable 
variety. 
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 wellas all other Sug- 
ar 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. When 
Plant for a succession from February to June. » 
selected and planted here for a few 
years, it becomes acclimated and makes 
an excellent Corn, with large, fine ears, 
grain deep and cob of medium size. 
Early Yellow Canada. A long 
eight-rowed variety. It is very early, 
and is planted in both the field and gar- 
den. It does well here. 
Large White Flimt. A very popu- 
lar variety with gardeners and ama- 
teurs. 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 forthetable. Itis 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 variety, sold by me for the first 
time five years ago. Itis not hard and 
flinty, but sweet and nutritious, making 
excellent feed and fine meal. The ears 
are large and handsome, with deep, 
large- grains, deep orange color and 
small red cob. It is very productive. 
The shucks cover the ear better than any 
Northern or Western variety I have ever
