NEW EARLY EVERGREEN 



The Best Second Early Sweet Corn 



As is well known, the famous Evergreen 

 Sweet Corn originated over twenty years ago 

 with Mr. Stowell, a grower for Philadelphia 

 markets ; but while one of the best late varie- 

 ties, no effort has ever been made to improve it 

 in earliness until now. In the New Early 

 Evergreen we have a selection possessing every 

 good quality of Stowell's Evergreen and re- 

 sembling it in every respect (see photograph 

 of marketable ears alongside, made for compari- 

 son), except that the stalk is about one foot 

 shorter, more closely jointed, and that it will 

 mature for market in eighty days, or fully ten 

 days earlier. Could anything better be wished 

 for? No other sweet corn will find ready sale 

 in a market which is supplied with Early Ever- 

 green, and the market gardener who wishes to 

 get the cream of the trade should make his 

 plantings of this splendid novelty. Qt., 25c.; 

 peck, |i.oo ; bush., I3.50. 



Original Stowell's Evergreen 



The Best Late Sweet Corn for Market 



A large part of the sugar corn sold as Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen is not the true stock. We have 

 seen what purported to be Stowell's Evergreen 

 growing on six different farms, and there were 

 no two of these crops the same corn, and not 

 one of them the true Evergreen as originated by 

 Mr. Stowell and sold by him in Philadelphia 

 markets over twenty years ago. We are 

 satisiied that a majority of truckers, who 

 have for many years grown what was called 

 Stowell's Evergreen, have really never had that 

 variety in its original purity. The stock we 

 offer has been grown and carefully selected 

 each season from seed originally purchased 

 from the originator, and notwithstanding there 

 have been scores of new varieties introduced 

 since, there is to-day no late sweet corn more 

 profitable for market than the true Stowell's 

 Evergreen. Ot., 15c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.40.

BURLINGTON HYBRID 



The Most Profitable Extra Marly 

 Corn for Market Gardeners 



Burlington Hybrid is a cross between Adams' Extra Early and a large-eared productive variety of 

 sugar corn. Its great market value can be readily seen from the fact that it is nearly as early and 

 of much better quality than the Admiis, with an ear as larg-e as Stowell's Evergreen, and more 

 productive than either. Although not legitimately a sugar corn, yet the husks, blades and ear in a 

 green state exactly resemble the sugar varieties, as shown in our photograph above, and it sells readily 

 in market as a sweet or sngar corn. When dry the grain is smooth and of a creamy white color. The 

 stalks grow to a height of about five feet and very compact, admitting of close planting ; the ears begin 

 to set low down, and are borne three to four to a stalk. Ot., 15c.; peck, 75c.; bush., ^2.75.
