¢ Early Dawn Sweet Gorn » 
A New Extra Early Variety with Ears as Large as Evergreen. 
In offering this new Sweet Corn for the first time, we believe 
it to be the most valuable introduction since the Burlington Hybrid 
and Cory. The originator, a gardener in Northern Vermont, in 
sending us the seed for trial, claimed it to be the only large-eared, 
variety, the seed of which could be ripened in that Northern lati- 
tude. It is unquestionably the largest White First Early Sweet 
Corn, with a pure white cob and rich, creamy-white kernel of most 
excellent quality. Itis quite as early as Marblehead and shows 
none of the red shade of that variety or Cory, while the ears are 
more than twice the size. We believe it to be the best early 
genuine Sweet or Sugar Corn grown. We distributed trial packets 
among some of our customers last season as New Sweet Corn No. 
20, and have received hundreds of letters similar to those published 
herewith. Read what they say alongside this. Prices for 1891: 
Pkt., 15¢.; 2 pkts., 25c.; pint, 40c.; qt., 75c., post-paid ; pint, 30c.; 
qt., 60c.; 4 qts., $2.00, by freight or express. Supply is so limited 
that we cannot supply more than 4 qts. to any one purchaser. 
Whe Guarantee Sweet Corn. 
This new candidate appeals not only to the shrewd market 
gardener but to every owner of a home garden who may desire 
something extra choice in quality. It has had quite a reputation 
for afew years in one of the largest market houses in Philadel- 
phia, where it has been brought in market in its season by a 
Chester County, Pa., market man, and had become known to its 
patrons as ‘‘ The Guarantee,” he having always, in disposing of it, 
guaranteed it be the sweetest in the whole market. We have seen 
his supply of this corn sold out before 8 o’clock in the morning, 
long before the market was half over, notwithstanding the fact 
that his price was always Ioc. per dozen above his competitors. 
He has always kept the seed in his own hands until recently, when, 
after great persuasion and at high cost, we obtained from him a 
few quarts two years since, from which our present stock was 
grown. It grows a fair-sized, handsome, white ear, as shown in 
our illustration above, which was mace on wood direct from a 
photograph; grain very much shrivelled when dry, coming in 
second early or intermediate, and producing three to four ears on 
each stalk. If you want something really fine and choice in sweet 
corn try the Guarantee. Pkt., 15c ; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c., post-paid ; 
qt., 35¢.; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.00, by freight.
