PETER HENDERSON & CO.— VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



CORX, Sugar. 



German, Welschkorn. — French, Mais. — Spanish, Maiz. 

 1 qt. for 200 hills ; 8 to 10 qts. in hills for an acre. 

 All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in rows four and a half 

 ieet apart, and the seeds placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in 

 tills at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown or 

 "the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety, or the richer 

 the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our first plantings in 

 ^his vicinity about the middle of May, and continue successive plantings every two 

 or three weeks until the last week in July. In more southerly latitudes planting is 

 ibegun a month earlier and continued a month later. 



Add 10 cents per quart extra if to be sent by mail. 

 C!ORY EARLY. We had very large and complete trials of nearly 

 every Sweet Com in our list last season, and we found the Cory 

 to be the earliest of all the large red cob varieties yet intro- 

 duced. In our trials we found it to be five days earlier than the 

 Marblehead, which hitherto has always taken the lead. Those 

 desiring a first early variety can make no mistake in planting 

 the Cory. (See cut.) 20 cts. pt.: 30 cts. qt. ; S2 peck; S6 bush. 



,- ■'"''^^, HENDERSON SUGAR. It is 



jf" ' '" surprising even to us how this 



^P^ variety continues to grow in popu- 



^^ lar favor. In the green condition 



when ready for the table it is al- 



^ ways pure white and of a remark- 



^ " ably sweet and rich flavor. The 



t- ^ Henderson ripens about ten days 



I earlier than Stowell's Evergreen, 



^ ' and the experience of those who 



1^ ^ have grown it is that it is one of 



^^■^ ^ the most valuable sorts for can- 



f^ ' , ^ ning purposes or for market in 



cultivation. 15 cts. pt. ; 25 cts. 



^ qt. ; $1.50 peck ; S4.50 bush. 



I r^ I STO-WELL'S EVERGREEN. 



r " ' Now recognized everywhere as a 



^ ^ standard late variety, and having 



I j the peculiarity of remaining long- 



^ ^ er in a green state than any other 



^ . sort. 15cts. pt. ; 20cts. qt. ;$1.25 



peck ; $4.00 bushel. 



EARLY MARBLEHEAD. Next 

 to the Cory the earliest of all 

 Sweet Com. In appearance it re- 

 sembles the better known Early 

 Narragansett. The stalk is dwarf, 

 and it sets its ears verj^ low down, 

 which are of fair market size. 

 15 cts. pt. ; 20 cts. qt. ; $1.25 peck ; 

 84.00 bush. 



EARLY NARRAGANSETT. 



One of the earliest varieties. The 

 ears are quite small, seldom being 

 more than five inches in length, 

 and 8 or 10 rowed. It is tender, 

 of fine flavor, and is largely used 

 as a first early variety. 15 cts. pt. ; 

 20 cts. qt. ; SI. 25 peck; $i bush. 



Early Adams, or Burlington. Strict- 

 ly speaking this is an early field 

 variety, although largely sold for 

 table use ; we therefore class it 

 among Sugar Corn. It is grown 

 extensively in this section for the 



New York market. 15 cts. pt. ;

 poses, although 

 equally desirable for the 

 market or family garden 

 'STABLER'S EARLY np 



ens a few days after the 



Adams* Early, which 



makes it one of the earli-

for market or canning 15c.
