j A PAGE OF CTANDARD CWEET r'ORNS. 



jj THE CORY.— The earliest of all sweet corns, excepting First of All. Originated by Mr. Cory, of 

 . Rhode Island, who ha.s been able to supply for many years the first sweet corn to Providence, Newport and 

 « Fall River markets. It is very dwarf in growth, producing almost invariably two ears to the 

 ;• stalk. Ears have been fit for boiling 52 days from planting. Two crops can readily be grown 

 a< on the same ground in a season. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



■; NKW WHITE COB CORY For several years selections have 



"C been made of the few white grains that have always appeared in the 

 Jj Cory, with the result that we now have a distinct new sort, entirely 

 5 free" from the red color of its parent, and consequently, a more desir- 

 f able early variety for market. In earliness, dwarf habit and other 



* qualities, it is precisely the same as the preceding variety. Packet, 

 » 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



g EARLY MARBL.EHEAD One of the earliest of Sw«et Corns 



t; after Mew Cory. Planted with me the middle of May, fair sized '*■■ 

 m ears were readv for market Julv 7th. Pkt., lOc; pt., 20c,; qt.. 35c. 



« EARLY MINNESOTA One of our popular old standbys. 



J Ripens a trifle ahead of Crosby's. Good sized ears; sweet and 

 £ good flavor. Packet, 10 cents; pint 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



S ADAM'S EXTRA EARLY -Not a Sweet Corn, but a ten- 



^ der white corn for table use. Desirable on account of 

 ^ its extreme earliness. Pkt., lOc; pt., 20c.; qt., 3oc. 

 M CROSBY'S EXTRA EARLY.— The old Stand- 



5 ard early, still very popular; exceedinglj- sweet 



. and juicy. Excellent for private gardens. Packet, 



* 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



* TRIUMPH. — One of the very best large eared 

 ' Sweet Corns; of most delicious and delicate 



flavor. Very productive; a fine market varie- 

 ty. Packet," 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts. 



STABLER'S EARLY — A new variety, 

 of larger size than usual for the early kinds. 

 Remarkable for sweetness and earliness. A 

 desirable gardener's and canning variety. 

 Very popular with Philadelphia truckers. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



EVERBEARING. — Ears of good size, 

 and covered with kernels clear to the end of 

 the cob. Ripening a few days after Stabler's 

 Early, each stalk will produce one to two 

 well " developed ears; now if these are picked 

 when mature, one to two more ears will 

 set and develop on the same stalks dur- 

 ing the next two to four weeks. Three or 

 four dozen hills from one planting will sup- 

 ply a good sized family with a succession of 

 the most delicious Sweet Corn for weeks. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



BLACK MEXICAN. — This is a very 

 sweet and delicious variety, and by many 

 considered the most sugary of all. The 

 grains, when dried, are of a bluish black 

 color. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. 



AMBER CREAM I always had a very 



high opinion of Amber Cream, and 1 must 

 say this opinion has been both confirmed and 

 strengthened by those who have grown it. 

 Stalks are strong and vigorous; ears from 

 M 12 to 16 rows; very superior, tender and su'g- 

 S ary flavor. A second early. Packet, 10 cents; 



^ pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



PERRY'S One of the very best. 



Ear- 



^ lier than Crosby's, with much larger ear, well 



* filled, containing from 12 to 14 rows. The 



* grain is of good size and pure white. Packet 

 t" 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



2 EXCELSIOR SUGAR.— Fine, large ears 

 5 filled from end to end with extra large grains; 

 S cannot be surpassed in delicious flavor. Rip- 

 ^ ens early, and of superior quality. Packet, 



3 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 3o cents. 

 S MAULB'S XX SUGAR.— One of the most 

 g successful market gardeners in the United 

 {> States has grown this variety to the exclusion 

 of all other sorts for the last 20 years, and has 

 2 never succeeded in securing anything that 

 u- would begin to come up to it, either in pro- 

 ductiveness, quality, or above all, in quick 

 market sales. It is fit for the table in 9 to 10 

 weeks from planting, and is of the most de- 

 licious, sweet and sugary flavor. It is of com- 

 paratively dwarf habit, stalks seldom grow- 

 ing more than four to five feet high. Pro- 

 duces ears, as large as Evergreen. Planted as 



•^ late as the middle of July, it has frequently 

 •^ matured a most excellent paying crop. 

 ; Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, oO cents. 

 S, COUNTRY GENTLEMAN OR IM- 



2 PROVED SHOE PEG Ears of large size; 



frequently growing three or four ears on a 

 (, single stalk. The cob is remarkably small, 

 e» giving great depth to the kernel, while in de- 

 J5 licious quality it is without equal. For the 

 . family garden, nothing can surpass, in my 

 S opinion, the Country Gentleman. Packet, 

 ■" 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents. 



» STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. — Most 



Sj every market gardener, as well as the private 1^ 

 o grower, knows this old standurd; it is in gen- i\ 

 "i eral favor with canners and truckers for late 

 •J use. The ears are of extra large size, deep 

 .* grain, very tender and toothsome, and withal 

 ^ remains in an edible condition an exception- 



a ally long time. Very productive. Packet, 



S 10 cents; pint, 20 cents;" quart, 35 cents. 



S MAULE'S MAMMOTH SUGAR. — Not 



^ only the largest eared, but also one of the 

 ^ very sweetest corns known. Ripens a little 



'. after the Evergreen, and for canning pur- 

 Jj poses is particularly profitable. Ears fre- 

 ^ qnently weigh three pounds and over. Your 

 ^ garden will be incomplete without it. Packet, 

 S 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents.
