BURLINGTON HYBRID SWEET CORN. There is 
nothing in this catalogue more worthy of the careful con- 
sideration of market gardeners than this new corn, and we 
felt highly gratified in being the first seedsmen to offer it to 
the public in the spring of 1889. It is not an untried novelty, 
having been grown for several years with great profit by a 
few truckers of Burlington County, N. J., who have kept the 
stock closely guarded among themselves, they positively 
refusing to sell seed to anyone. It is a cross between Adams’ 
Extra Early and some large-eared productive variety of 
sugar corn. Its great market value can be readily seen from 
the fact that is as early as the Adams’, with an ear fully 
as large as Stowell’s Evergreen and more productive 
than either, producing equal to the most prolific field corn. 
Although not legitimately a sugar corn, yet the husks, blades 
and ear in a green state exactly resemble the sugar varieties, 
and it sells readily in market as a sweet or sugar corn. It is, 
however, of much better eating quality than the Adams’. 
When dry the grain is smooth and of a creamy-white color. 
The stalks grow to a height of about five feet and very com- 
pact, admitting of closer planting than any other variety; 
the ears begin to set low down and are borne three to four to 
astalk. Pkt, 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45¢., post-paid; peck, $1.25; 
bush., $4.50.

fully testing this newvariety, 
we were the first to offer it 
four years since; grown side

other early varieties, it leads 
them all by fully a week. It 
will produce good ears for 
boiling in fifly-two days from 
planting. Ithasa larger ker- 
nel than the Marblehead and

the Cory Corn, have com- 
pletely controlled the early
