can be planted in hills two and a half feet apart, as these two varieties are more 

 dwarfish than the other kinds. Plant for a succession from February to June. 



£xtra Early, or Crosby's Dwarf | 



Siig^ar. This is a very early variety 

 and of excellent quality. Ears small, 

 but very tender. It is not so extensively 

 planted as it deserves to be. 



Adam's Extra Early, the most 

 popular variety with market gardeners 

 for first planting. It has no fine table 

 {{ualities, 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 S^ug^ar, or New England. 

 A long eight-rowed variety, which suc- 

 ceeds the Extra Early sorts. Desirable 

 variety. 



Stowel's Evergreen iSug^ar. 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 otiier variety, and is 

 quite productive. The cultivation of this 

 excellent cereal, as well as all other Sug-

 people will plant common field-corn for 

 table use, considering size instead of 

 quality, I can not understand. 



Oolden Dent Oourd 8eed. Afield 

 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
