A good money crop for near-by markets. Every body can grow this crop with profit. 



Ci'LTURE. — Sweet corn always does well on sod land, or where clover has been turned down. Plant when dan- 

 ger of frost J8 over, In hills 2x3 feet, or 3x4 feet, according to variety. Give frequent and continued shallow 

 culture. Leave 3 stalks to the hill, and make successional plantings until nearly mid-summer. L'se 1 quart

THE CORY.— This is the earliest sweet corn, except First of All. It was originated in Rhode

 stalk; cob red. Fit for use in 52 days from planting. Often grow n as a mc

 which is larger, I notice that it is In brisk demand in somemarkef-

 Is comparatively dwarf in habit, seldom more 

 than five or six feet high. Ears as large as the

 tiveness and high quality. It is a quick seller,

 cessful market gardener."^ have depended upon 

 no other variety for the past twenty years, 

 being unable to find anything more profit- 

 able. It can be made to cover a long season, 

 and plantings as late as July 1.5th, will mostly

 ners. The ears are of extra large size, and are 

 tender and toothsome, with deep grain, and 

 remaining a long time in edible condition.

 the market, and will long be included among 

 leading standard sorts. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20

MAULE'S MAMaiOTH SUGAR.— This tall 

 growing sweet corn has not only the largest 

 ears, but is also one of the very sweetest 

 known. It matures a little later than Ever- 

 green, and is particularly good for canning 

 purposes. It is an excellent late sort for the 

 garden. I have known prize ears of Mam- 

 moth Sugar corn to reach the remarkable 

 weight of 3 pounds each, though, of course, 

 the usual weight is much less. I merely men- 

 tion its great achievement in a prize contest 

 to show the remarkably strong character of 

 this sweet corn. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt.,20cts.; qt., 

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