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. 
and of excellent quality. Ears small, 
but very tender. 
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 
qualities, but as it grows to a good size, 
and is matured in about forty daysfrom | 
time of planting, it meets with ready 
salein the market, and for these reasons 
gardeners prefer it. 
Early Sugar, or New Engiand. | 
A long eight-rowed variety, which suc- 
ceeds the Extra ane 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 well as 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. Itmakesa very fine Corn South, 
but has to be planted here several years 
This is a very early variety | 
It is not so extensively | 
Plant for a succession from February to June. 
in succession before it attains perfection 
as during the first year the ears are not 
well covered by the husk, which is the 
ease with all Northern varieties. When 
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 Flint. Avery popular 
variety with gardeners and amateurs. 
It is planted here for table use princi- 
pally, but like the Golden Dent, makes 
an excellent kind for field culture after 
it has been planted here for two or three 
years. 
Blant’s Prolific Fieid Corn. This 
is a very excellent variety, either for the 
field or for the table. 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 Leamimg. An extra 
early variety, sold by me for the first
