who desire to be first In market. It may be planted quite closely, 

 account of the comparatively small size of the stalks. It is the earlii

 IS tender and sweet, and of e.vtia high table qualitj. It almost alw 

 yields two perfect ears to the stalk, the ears being 9 to 12 inches Ic 

 compactly filled with grains from end to end. It is a red-cobbed varli 

 and preferred by many people on that account. Planted with the ei

ZIG ZAG EVERGREEN. 



ZIG ZAG EVERGREEN.— This corn is the sweetest and most 

 tender variety ever introduced, possiblv excepting the Shoe Peg tvpes. 

 It is medium to late. It matures about eight davs ahead of Stowell's 

 Evergreen; the kernels are shaped like those of' Stowell's Evergreen; 



but the arrangement on the cob is entirely different; so peculla idt 

 fact, as to give the corn its name. Two perfect ears to the stalk, li m 

 iably. It is a most satisfactory variety for amateur or market gard( ei ! 

 Packet. 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.10; bu., 9 ~
