PERKINS’ EXTRA EARLY MARKET—173E B*éR* 
Selected by a New Jersey market grower, who for a few 
' years past has completely controlled the early markets here 
| on account of its wonderful earliness and hardiness. It can 
| be planted earlier than any of the sugar varieties and will 
give good ears two to three weeks ahead of the earliest of 
them. Ears medium size, grain smooth, creamy white color. 
Although not legitimately a sugar corn, it is very tender, 
sweet and juicy in the boiling stage. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c., 
by mail, postpaid; by express or freight, qt., 35c.; 2 qts., 60c.; 
peck, $1.50; bush., $5.00. 
JOHNSON’S FIVE-EARED SUGAR CORN 
Four years ago on our trial grounds we found a stalk of 
corn containing five well-filled ears. These were carefully 
saved and planted on strong ground, and to our surprise 
almost every stalk bore five good ears which, after careful 
selection, were again planted, until we now have a variety 
which on strong ground and with good cultivation will invari- 
ably produce five good, well-developed ears to the stalk. 
The ears are of medium size, with irregular rows, somewhat 
similar to the old Shoe Peg, which is one of its parents. It is, 
however, earlier than that variety and deliciously sweet. 
It will prove a money-maker for the market gardener and a 
bonanza to all who plant it. 
Pkt., I5c.; pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., by mail, postpaid; qt., 
50c.; 4 qts. for $1.50; peck, $2.50, by express or freight.

- JOHNSON’S INDISPENSABLE 
LETTUCE 
Three years ago we found a single head of this 
new lettuce in a large field of Big Boston. We were 
struck with its fine appearance on account of its 
larger and more solid heads, which were 
entirely free from the colored tinge found in 
the Big Boston. The seed was carefully saved and 
planted until we had sufficient to send out a few 
thousand trial packets last Spring, and from which 
we have had hundreds of letters giving it the highest 
praise. 
One market garden customer writes: ‘‘I have 
grown your fine strain of Big Boston for many 
years, but hereafter shall plant largely of this im- 
proved strain, which I think should be called 
*Johnson’s Indispensable.’’’ We offer seed for sale 
this season for the first time at following prices:
