We have produced in this early corn a variety which stands alone as a money 

 maker. It is in the same class as the Earliest of All sugar corns, considerably 

 larger, and, best of all, contains a sweetness equal to most true sugar varieties. 



It has the power of germination under conditions where all others have failed, 

 and can safely be planted much earlier than any true sugar corn on account of its 

 extreme hardiness. It adapts itself to any kind of soil, either sand or heavy clay. 



It is as large as Stowell's Evergreen. Cap fodder grows 6 feet ; no small 

 item to a gardener ; and as a proof of its quality and sweetness, we have a con- 

 tinuous call for "Ideal" from our customers year after year. In earliness, any 

 one growing this pearly white corn will have the ciop marketed and the money 

 in his pocket before any of the early sugar corns are ready. Matures in 55 days.
