1 gt. for 200 hills ; 8 to 10 gts. in hills for an acre. 
All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in rows four and one-half feet apart, and the seeds placed about eight inches apartin the rows, or planted in hills 
at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown or the richness of the soil in which itis planted. The taller the variety, or the richer the soil, the 
greater should be the distance apart. 
We make our first plantings in this 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 begun a month earlier and continued a month Jater., 
Add 10 cents per quart extra if to be sent by mail. 
EARLY VARIETIES. 
CORY EARLY. The Cory is undoubtedly the earliest of all and 
the very best extra early Sweet Corn. We have proved 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.) 10c. 1 pt., 15c. pt.,

fully productive. The Squantum is the variety used almost ex- 
clusively at the famous R. I. clambakes, which is sufficient evi- 
dence of its quality. 10c. 1 pt., 15e. pt., 25e. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bu.

LATE or MAIN CROP VARIETIES. 
HENDERSON'S NEW RED COB EVERGREEN. Thisvariety 
isa sport from Stowell’s Evergreen. It isa week or ten days 
earlier than that variety, and produces three or four ears to a 
stalk. The ears are set low on the stalks, are very thick and 
regular in size, and are 16-rowed, very deep and of delicious 
quality. 10c. 14 pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.50 pk. 
THE “HENDERSON.” Inthe green condition when ready for

rich flavor. The Henderson ripens about ten days earlier than 
Stowell’s Evergreen. It is one of the most valuable sorts for 
canning purposes or for market. 10c. 16 pt., l5c. 
pt., 25e. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.50 bush. 
EGYPTIAN. Ears of large size; the flavor peculiarly rich and 
sweet. Itis grown in large quantities for both canning and for 
selling in the green state. Like all other large varieties, it ma- 
tures late. 10c. 14 pt., 15e. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 
MAMMOTH. A late variety, producing ears of very large size 
and fine flavor. It is unusually productive. (See cut.) 10e. 1, 
pt., 15¢. pt., 25¢e. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. Now recognized everywhere as a 
standard variety, both for home use and market, and is the gen- 
eral favorite. The ears are of a large size, grains deep, ex- 
ceptionally tender and sugary, and has the advantage of remaining 
longer in the green state than any other. Our stock has been care- 
fully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain 
and deterioration in theevergreen character of this best of all late 
sorts. (See cut.) 10c. 1g pt., 15¢. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush.
