6 SWEET CORN SPECIALTIES. 



FIRST OF AIjlj.— I fully realize the importance of an extra 

 early sweet corn, both for table and market purposes. Such a 

 corn brings pride to the amateur and profit to the market grower. 

 I used to push Cory as being the leader, but for some time past 

 have recognized the superior claims of First of All. This extra 

 early sort will reach maturity two daystoa week sooner than Cory, 

 as testified by thousands of my customers, and 1 can confidently 

 recommend it. It produces not only larger ears than Cory, but 

 more to the stalk, and will prove an especial boon to gardeners 

 who desire to be first in the markets in order to receive the high 

 prices always commanded by early products. This corn can be 

 planted quite closely, on account of the comparatively small size 

 of the stalks; the hills say 2 feet by 3 feet. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 

 2o cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.25. 



NONE SUCH. — I introduced this fine second early corn in 1892 

 and it has well earned the name it bears. In quality it is deli- 

 cious, and in productiveness unexcelled. Reports from my custo- 

 mers frequently speak of two ears to the stalk, with ears 12 Inches 

 long and compactly filled with grains from end to end. It Is a 

 red cob variety, and preferred by some people on that account. 

 Buyers are always delighted with it. I recommend as a very sat- 

 isfactory succession my First of All, followed by None Such, with 

 Zig Zag Evergreen for late or main crop. There should be several 

 plantings of the last named variety, a week apart, ending about 

 July 1st,. The First of All will be ready for use about that date, 

 and an unbroken succession of boiling ears may be secured from 

 the beginning of July until October. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 

 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00. 



ZIG ZAG EVERGREEN This comparatively new corn is 



the sweetest and most tender variety ever introduced, possibly 

 excepting the Shoe Peg types. In season it is medium to late. It 

 matures about 8 days ahead of Stowell's Evergreen. The kernels 

 are shaped like those of Stowell's Evergreen; but the arrange- 

 ment on the cob is entirely different; so peculiar, in fact, as to 

 give the corn its name, as will be understood by reference to the 

 Illustration. Two perfect ears to the stalk is the rule; and in ap- 

 pearance and quality Zig Zag Evergreen is all that can be desired. 

 It is a most satisfactory variety for amateur or market gardener. 

 In my own trials it has produced perfect ears, even during a 

 drought that was destructive to the other sweet corns. This proves 

 that it is well adapted to general culture for main crop purposes. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.00; bu., $3.00. 



COUNTRY GENTIiEMAN OR IMPROVED SHOE PEG 



This is a mid-season corn. Ears of quite large size, and fre- 

 quently three on a stalk. Grains irregularly set on ear. Cob re- 

 markably small, giving great depth to the kernel. For delicious 

 flavor and sweetness I do not know of anything that can sur- 

 pass this variety. I recommend it especially to private gardeners, 

 or for choice retail trade. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 

 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00. 



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 tender. The 

 ear remains long In the green state; a fact which increases its 

 \alue for table use or for market. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; 

 quart, 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 75 cts; bushel, $2.50. 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER.— For cutting in the 

 green state, for cattle or other live stock, sweet corn is superior to 

 any of the ordinary field corns. I recommend it especially to 

 dairymen, for use in mid-summer. It Is a cheap, milk producing 

 and wholesome food for cows, especially In connection with any 

 of the nitrogenous milk feeds. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; 

 quart, 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 50 cents; bushel, $1.75. 



When sweet corn by the pint or quart is ordered by express or 

 freight, 5 cents per pint, or 10 cents per quart may be deducted from 

 prices quoted. Pecks and bushels are sent by freight or express at 

 purchaser' s expense.
