CHERVIL. 
CERFEUIL (Fr.), KERBELKRAUT (Ger.). 
An aromatic plant used a good deal for seasoning, especially in 
oyster soup, and is often cut between Lettuce when seryed as a salad. 
In the North this vegetable is very little known, but in this section 
there is hardly a garden whereit isnot found. Sow broad-cast during 
fall for winter and spring, and in Januaryand February for summer 
use. 
COLLARDS. 
A kind of cabbage which does not head, but the leaves are used 
the same as other cabbage. Not so popular as in former years, and 
very little planted in this vicinity. 
CORN SALAD. 
Mace, Doucet (Fr.), ACKER SaLaT (Ger.), VALERIANA (Sp.). 
Broad-leaved Corn Salad is the variety generally cultivated. Itis 
used as a salad during the winter and early spring months. Should 
be sown broad-cast during fall and winter, or in drills nine inches 
apart. 
CORN.—INDiAN. 
Mais (Fr.), WELSCHKORN (Ger.), Matiz (Sp.).

Extra EARLY Dwarr Suaar. LARGE WHITE FLINT. 
ADAM’S ExTRA EARLy. Biunt’s PROLIFIC FIELD. 
EarRLy SUGAR OR SWEET. IMPROVED LEAMING. 
STOWEL’S EVERGREEN SUGAR. GOLDEN BEAUTY. 
GOLDEN Dent GourpD SEED. CHAMPION WHITE PEARL. 
EARLY YELLOW CANADA. 
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 
varieties. Plant for a succession from February till June. 
Extra Early or Crosby’s Dwarf Sugar. This is a very 
early variety and of excellent quality. Ears small, but very tender. 
It isnot 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 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 
gsardeners prefer it. 
Early Sugar or New England. Along eight-rowed variety, 
which succeeds the Extra Early kinds. Desirable variety. 
Stowel’s Evergreen Sugar. This is the best of all. Sugar 
Corn. It is not an early Corn, but the ears are of large size, and ate 
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 Sugar Corn, is much neglected, yet why people will plant 
common field-corn for table use, considering size instead of quality, I 
cannot understand.
