Plant iu 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 dwarf- 

 ish than the other varieties. Plant for a succession from Febru- 

 ary till June.

Extra Early Sugar Corn. Early Sugar or New England Corn. 



Evergreen Sugar Corn. 



Extra Early or Crosby's Dwarf Sugar. 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 mar- 

 ket-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 reasons gardeners prefer it. 



Early Sugar or New England. A long eight-rowed 

 variety, which succeeds the Extra Early kinds. Desirable va- 

 riety. 



Stowel's Evergreen Sugar. This is the best of all Su- 

 gar Corn. It is not an early Corn, but the ears are of large size,
