EVERBEARING SWEET CORN.~—In 1888 I first called the attention of my 
customers to this magnificent variety ; but my supply was so very limited I could only furnish 
it in the smallest quantities. All planting it, however, found ita most profitable investment, so 
much so, that I certainly expect a very large demand indeed for itthis season. The earsare of 
good size, and are covered with kernels clear to the end of the cob. In growth and appear- 
ance it is very distinct, the husk and stalks being of a red color, and in this respect it is differ- 
ent from every-other variety. But we now come to a most astonishing quality, which has 
given this variety its name. Ripening a few days after the Stabler’s Early, each stalk will! 
produce one to two well-developed ears; now if these are picked when mature, one to two and 
even four more ears will set and develop on the same stalks during the next two to four 
weeks; single stalks producing during the season frequently as many as six 
large, well-developed ears. That this is a most remarkable and desirable qualification 
all will admit, and Everbearing may at once be classed as the greatest addition in years to 
our list of Sweet Corns, except, possibly, Maule’s XX mentioned below. 3 or 4 dozen hills 
from one planting will supply a good-sized family with a succession of the most 
delicious Sweet Corn for weeks. Packet, 15 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 
MAULE’S XX SUGAR.—-1 took pleasure in offering my customers in 1888, for the 
first time, a most excellent and desirable variety of Sugar Corn, which well deserves the title 
5) XX. This corn comes from one of the most successful market-gardeners in the United States, 
who has grown this variety to the exclusion of all other sorts for the last 20 years; although 
7, be has tried every other known variety he has never succeeded in securing anything that 
would begin to come up to this sweet corn, either in productiveness, 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 delicious, sweet and sugary flavor, while I venture to say that it remains 
longer in an edible condition than any other variety, not excepting any. It is 
of comparatively dwarf habit, stalks seldom growing more than 4 to 5feet high. While it 
matures in a comparatively short period of time for such a large-eared variety, it produces 12 
to 16-rowed ears as large as Stowell’s Evergreen, which are set low on the stalks. Tkree well- 
developed ears are often matured on a single stalk. Planted as late as the middle of July 
it has frequently matured a most excellent paying market crop. To sum up, 
Maule's XX Sugar, while a medium early variety, produces earsas large as any other, ex- 
cepting Maule’s Mammoth. In flavor it has no equal, if, indeed, it does not surpass every 
other variety. Its productiveness is simply remarkable. Packet, 15 cents ; pint, 50 cents, 
NEW CORY SWEET CORN.—There is no question but that the Cory is the earliest 
of all Sweet Corns by from 5 to 10 days. 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 Marblehead, but produces much finer, 
larger and sweeter ears than this well-known extra early. It is very dwarf in growth, pro- 
ducing 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 ina 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 ears at 30 cents, while Marblehead, not ready 
until 7 or 8 days later, brought only 20 cents per dozen. Demand has been so great the last four 
seasons as to soon exhaust my supply, and all pronounced their Cory Corn purchase 
one of the most profitable they ever made. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; gt., 35 cts.
