2 GOOD SWEET CORNS. 
One the very earliest. 
The other the very latest. 
PREMO SWEET CORN. 
This strictly new sweet corn is ready before any 
of the old sorts. Not only is it earlier than Adams 
and Cory, but the ear is larger and the grains 
sweeter. Its average period of reaching maturity 
is from 56 to 60 days. The new Premo matures 4 or 
5 days ahead of Cory or Adams. This is a very 
important gain of time, especially in view of the 
fact that Premo is a superior corn, with larger and 
sweeter ears and of better appearance. The ear of 
Premo is from 5 to7 inches long, and of fine shape 
for afirstearly sort. I therefore confidently recom- 
} mend it to all gardeners for trial, being sure that 
| its earliness and table quality will speedily bring

IMPROVED GIANT SUGAR CORN. 
Largest Late Variety. Very Sweet. 
The orlginator of this grand strain, one of the 
most successful market gardeners in the North- 
| west, claims it to be the largest and best sweet 
corn grown, and any one desiring sugar corn 
producing ears of immense size, which are at the 
same time of delicious flavor, will do well to give 
this Improved Giant a thorough trial. It is late. 
The stalks are comparatively short, and so thick 
and strong they stand up well against storms and 
rains. The ears are frequently 12 inches or more 
ijn length, and of proportionate thickness, well 
formed and exceedingly handsome. The Prize ear, 
three years ago, measuring 1244 in. long, was sent 
in by John H. Westgate, Bernards Crossing, N. Y., 
In sweetness, succulence, 
depth of grain and fine table quality the 
Improved Giant will be found hard to beat. It is 
perfection itself for home use. In choice retail 
markets extra price can readily be obtained for it. 
| The illustration herewith is taken from a photo- 
graph of a medium sized ear, which I must admit 
was about as perfect an ear of sugar corn as it has 
been my fortune to see. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 
qt., 45 ets., postpaid. Pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00. 
GOLDEN BANTAM.—(See green pages.) 
THE CORY. — The earliest sweet corn, except 
First of All, Premo and Ideal. It was originated 
in Rhode Island, by a market gardener named 
Cory, and for years headed the list of quick ma- 
turing sorts. It is still in wide favor. Very dwarf, 
and may be closely planted. Two ears to a stalk; 
cob red. Fit for use in 62 days from Plane: 
t is 
early sales of the Cory as on sales of the larger 
and later varieties. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 
Pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 
ADAMS’ EXTRA EARLY.—Not so sweet nor 
quite so early as Cory, but decidedly more hardy. 
| It is not a true sweet corn, but for all that is wel- 
come on the table if pulled promptly after reach- 
ing maturity. The grains are tender and white, 
and the ear presents a fair and attractive appear- 
ance. In general demand by truckers and mar- 
ket gardeners. Pkt., 10 et.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 
35 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 
MAULE’S MAMMOTH SUGAR.—This tall 
growing sweet corn is one of the very sweetest 
Known. - It matures a little Jater than Ever- 
green, and is particularly good for canning pur- 
poses. It is an excellent late sort for the garden. 
1 have known prize ears of Mammoth Sugar 
corn to reach the remarkable weight of three 
pounds each. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 
45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.50; bu., $5.50. 
EGYPTIAN.—This is one of the latest of all 
the sweet corns; ten days later than Stowell’s 
Evergreen. It is large both in stalk and ear. 
In quality it is delicious, being sweet and ten- 
der. The ear remains long in the green state; 
| a fact which increases its value for table use or 
for market. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 ets.; qt., 
45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.50; bu., $5.50. 
Sugar Corn for Green Forage. 
For cutting in the green state, for summer 
forage, sweet corn is superior to any of the 
ordinary field corns. I reeommend it especially 
to dairymen, for use during July, August and 
September, when pasturage is affected by dry 
weather. It forms a cheap and wholesome feed 
for cows. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 30 
| ets., postpaid. Pk., 75 cts.; bu., $2.50.
