Corn — Sweet or Sugar 



Choice £a8tem Grown Seed. 



One quart wiU plant about two hundred liills, and one 

 peck is requited to plant an acre in hills. 



Our Sugar Corn Is Eastern grown and of the very 

 best quality— much superior to the Nebraska or West- 

 ern grovru, which is sold so generally by seedsmen. 

 We ofifer only one grade on all seeds we grow and 

 handle ; that being the best. 



J^S'lo have delicious sweet corn, it should be 

 picked in the right condition, just when the skin 

 of the grain breaks with the slightest puncture, 

 and plantings should be made frequently enough 

 to always have a supply at this stage of growth.

 « 1/ WINTER QUEEN CELERY 



■mne most popular as a late keeper. Since our intro- 

 duction of this very valuable new celery seven years ago, 

 ithas becomethe mostpopular of allasalate winter keeper, 

 frequently being seen and selling at high prices in the 

 month of May, after all other celeries are done. It is, with- 

 out doubt, the most valuable variety of celery for winter and 

 spring use ever introduced, with the exception of the New 

 Cremona, and excels the celebrated Perle I/C Grand and 

 Perfection Heartwell as a late winter keeper. It is also much 

 stouter, thicker and heavier, with double the amount of heart 

 of other sorts. The plant is beautiful in appearance, ofclo.se 

 habit and compact growth, and blanches to a beautiful 

 cream white. Ribs perfectly solid, crisp and of delicious 

 nutty -fla^^ Pkt., 10c ; oz., 35c.; \i lb , $1.0O; lb., J3.75. 



|r PERLE LE GRAND CELERY 



ViO^UABLE FOR BOTH EARLY AND LATE USE. 



The Perle Le Grand Celery was named and introduced by 

 us in 1894, and has met with large sale. Its beautiful, full 

 golden heart and rich nutty flavor are unapproached by any 

 of the older sorts. On the market stall it is extremely showy 

 and salable, a single plant making a good-sized bunch and 

 surpassing nearly all other sorts in weight. It is not only a 

 good early celery, being among the first fit to use, but also 

 most valuable as a winter keeper, remaining, when properly 

 trenched, in perfect condition away into the spring. Pkt., 

 lOu ; oz., 20c.; y^ lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75.

 flavor. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; Y^ lb., GOc; lb.. $2.00. 



J^ EVANS' TRIUMPH CELERY 



Tl.iis splendid new variety, originated in Canada, grows 

 a very strong and vigorous plant with large, very white, 

 crisp, brittle, tender, short, broad stalks. It is very late, re- 

 quiring the whole season to develop, but will keep splendid- 

 ly all winter. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; "%, lb., 50c.; lb., 81.75.

 vating. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 26c.; y^ lb-, 60c.; lb., 81.75. 



ew Extra Early Sweet Corn, Metropolitan 



See illustration, next page. 



From our own trials and those made by many of 

 our customers the past two seasons, we think we are safe 

 in saying that the New Metropolitan combines the essential 

 features of earliness, freedom from smnt, and fine quality to 

 a more satisfactory degree than any first early sweet corn 

 ever introduced. The plant grows vigorously to a height of 

 about 5 feet; ears long, well filled out and set low, about IJ^ 

 feet from the ground ; are produced two and often three on 

 a stalk. They average about 9 inches in length and are ex- 

 ceedingly white in color during eatable condition. Pkt., 

 lOc ; pint, 2.=)e ; qt.,40c., by mail, postage paid; by express 

 o^eight, qt., 30c.; peck, 81.15; bush., $4.00. 



Turlington hybrid corn 



Till is valuable 

 market sort is a 

 cro.ss between 

 Adams' Extra Ear- 

 ly and a large eared 

 productive variety 

 of sugai-corn. Its 

 great market value 

 can be readily seen 

 from the lact that it 

 Is nearly as • arly 

 as the Adams, 

 with an ear as 

 large as Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen, 

 and more produc- 

 tive than either, it 

 having frequently 

 produced over one 

 hundred bushels to 

 the acre grown as a 

 field crop. A 1 - 

 though not legili- 

 m a t e 1 y a sugar 

 corn , yet the husks, 

 blades and ear in a 

 green state exactly 

 resemble the sugar 

 varieties, as shown 

 In our photograph 

 alongside, and it 

 sells readily in mar- 

 ket as a sweet or 

 sugar corn. It is of 

 much better eating 

 quality than the 

 Adams. When dry 

 the grain is smooth 

 and of a creamy 

 white color. Tlie 

 stalks grow to a 

 height of about 

 five feet and very 

 compact, admitting 

 of close planting ; 

 the ears begi n to set 

 low down, and are 

 borne three to four 

 to a stalk. Pkt.,
