THE CORY.—The earliest of all sweet corns, excepting First of 
All. Originated by Mr. Cory, of Rhode Island, he has been able to 
supply for many years the first sweet corn to Providence, Newport 
and Fall River markets. It is not only much earlier than the Mar- 
blehead, but produces much finer, larger and sweeter ears than this 
well known extra early. 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 on 
the same ground in a single season. A large grower 
of vegetables near Newport, R. I., from about six 
acres marketed July 7th, 7,000 dozen ears at 35 cents, 
and by July 16th, 15,000 dozen ears at 30 cents, while 
Marblehead, not ready until 7 or 8 days later, 
brought only 20c. per doz. You will make no mis- 
take if you plant Cory for a first early. Packet, 
10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 
MAULE’S XX SUGAR.—This corn comes from Y¥@ 
one of the most successful market gardeners inthe { 
United States, who has grown this variety to the ex- 
clusion of all other sorts for the last 20 years; al- 
though he has tried every other known variety, he A 
has never succeeded in securing anything that : 
would begin to come up to XX, either in produc- OS ) 
tiveness, quality, or above all, in quick market IOS - 
Hie Atay] «Sales. It is fit for the table in 9 to 10 weeks from @x@RX\ wg 
ice VBR planting, and is of the most delicious, sweet and ee) MoO QW
