Extra Early Sagar Cera. Early Sugar or New England Corn. Evergreen Sugar Corn. 
Golden Dent Gourd Seed. A field variety which is very pro- 
ductive at the*Nerth. It makes 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, as 
it is the ease with ali Northern varieties. When selected and planted 
here fora 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 iong, eight-rowed yariety. It is 
very early, and is planted in both field and garden. 
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 variety for field culture after it 
has been planted here for two or three years. 
Blant’s Prolific Ficid Corn. New). This isa very excellent 
variety, either for the field or for the table. It is very prolific, pro- 
x ears or corn. They are of medium size, but 
It is second early. 
CRESS. 
drills six inches apart. 
Curled or Pepper Grass. Not much used in this section. 
Broad-ieaved. This variety is extensively cultivated for the 
market. It is sown from early fall to late spring. The leaves resem- 
ble Water Cress; a variety which does not succeed well here. Is con- 
sidered a very wholesome dish.
