...New Zig=^ag Evergreen Sweet Corn... 



This new sweet corn is claimed to be the sweetest of all sugar corns, and after testing it thoroughly at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds, as well as among a number of our customers, we are glad to say that the high recommendation given it was 

 not the least overdrawn ; we found it one of the sweetest and best late Sweet Corns we have ever grown, not even ex- 

 cepting the celebrated Country Gentleman and Shoe Peg. The ears resemble Stowell's Evergreen in size and shape, 

 except that the kernels are placed irregularly or ziz-zag upon tlie cob, wliich is always an indication of great sweetness in 

 anv variety of sugar corn. Per pkt., lOc; pint, 20c.; qt., 35c., post-paid; qt., 20c.; peck, 85c.; bush., 83.00, by freight.
