Johnson’s Northmount Egg Plant 
An Earlier Improved Black Beauty 
This fine new variety is the result of selection of the very earliest and finest fruits of the celebrated 
“ Black Beauty.’ It is, beyond question, the earliest and hardiest of all Large Smooth Purple Egg 
Plants. While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten days earlier 
and is suited to more northern climates. One of the faults of the old sorts was that they matured so 
late that in northern latitudes the entire crop could not be gathered before frost set in and destroyed 
them. With the introduction of Johnson’s Northmount, this danger is past, owing to its great earliness. 
The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are thick, of 
most attractive shape (as shown in illustration), and in color a lustrous purplish black. This coloring is 
uniform over the whole fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older 
varieties. It is valuable alike to the private planter and the extensive grower for market. Prices, per 
pkt., 20c.; 4 pkts., 60c.; $ oz., $1.00 ; oz., $1.75 ; 4 ovs., $6.00. 
White Mexican Sugar Corn 
The old Black Mexican Sugar Corn has 
long been famous for its delicious sweet flavor. 
In the White Mexican we offer a variety which 
combines with a white grain all the good 
qualities of sweetness and flavor so prominent 
in the old dark type. 
White Mexican is also unlike Black Mexi- 
can in being one of the very earliest to mature. 
It is sure of a leading place, as it is quite un- 
usual to find an early corn that is at the same 
time so sweet that it will ‘‘ melt in the mouth.” 
The ears in size and shape are like those of 
the Black Mexican and apt to have the same 
peculiar naked tip known in that variety. 
If you want early corn that is deli- 
ciously sweet, try White Mexican. Prices, 
by mail, postpaid: Per pkt., 10c.; pint, 20c.; 
qt., 30c.; by express or freight, qt., 20c.; peck, 
$1.10 ; bush., $4.25. 
Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 
This new corn is very early, hardy and 
sweet. Grains, when dry, a deep yellow color, 
On our trial grounds it gave two good ears to the 
stalk. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30¢.; qt., 50c., postpaid ; 
qt., 40c.; peck, $2.50, by express.
