R Jlem Sugar Corn. THE HOl^EY. 



Nothing we have ever introduced has elicited from both market and family gardeners such enthu- 

 siastic praise in all parts of the country. It is pronounced, b}- every person who has eaten it, the sweet- 

 est of any they have ever tasted. It o'riginated with a German market gardener near Allentown, Pa., 

 who had the 'reputation of bringing the finest and sweetest corn to that market, for which he realized 

 fabulous prices. In growth and appearance it is unlike any other variety, the husks and stalks being of 

 a deep red color during growth, while the com itself is of a beautiful cream white, much shrivelled when 

 dr}-, and having the deepest graiyi atid smallest cob of any known variety. It is also amost productive 

 variety, bearing three to four good large ears to a stalk, growing ^^gorously and coming in as early as 

 Moore's Concord. In our extended experience we have grown every known variety of sugar corn, but 

 have never found a variety possessing so many desirable qualities as The Honey Szveet. No market or 

 private garden is complete without it. Pkt., 15c.; pint, 40c.; qt, 60c., post-paid; peck, $3.00, by 

 freight or express. 



NONE SUCH AS HONEY SWEET. 

 A. A. Co^^^:ER. Bucyrus. O., Sept. 17, 1888. rrrites: "No 

 such com as the ' Honey Sweet ' was ever gro'^Ti here before : 

 it grew in every sense as represented in your Fami JIanual. 

 That which we sold green gave double satisfaction, received 

 twenty-tiTe cents per dozen, and could hardly retain it at 

 that price. There %vill be a great demand for it here nest 

 year." 



COTTLD NOT BE BETTER. 

 Kate G. Good. West "Willow, Pa., writes : " The Honey 

 Sweet Com is indeed No. 1 ; could not be better." 



THE BEST HE EVEH SA"W. 

 H. M. Clark. New Britain. Conn., writes : "Your seeds 

 are all A No. 1, fully up to the strong recommendations my 

 brother gardeners give them. The Honey Sweet Com is the 

 best I e\er saw. and the Crown Jewel Potato was the earliest 

 of five different kinds I planted, besides being ven>- prolific." 



FOUB TO SIX EARS ON A STALK. 



Wm. G. SiCKES, Stuyvesant, N. Y., writes : " The Honey 

 Com is the sweetest I have ever eaten, with four to six ears 

 on a stalk." 



A BIG- IMPROVEMENT. 

 ROBT. E. Mato, Waretown, N. J., writes: " The Honey 

 Sweet Com I find is a big improvement for earliness and 

 quality on my old standard." 



AS SWEET AS HONEY. 

 NoEMAN WooDEtrpF, Black Lick, O., Aug. 20, writes: 

 " The Honey Sweet Com cannot be excelled ; truly as sweet 

 as honey." 



Tomato Egg-Plant. 



This curious plant was first discovered two 

 vears ago by Mr. Wm. C. Loder, a New Jersey 

 trucker, growing in a field of egg-plants. The 

 vine has every appearance of the egg-plant, even 

 to the prickly stem and leaf, but fruits from forty to 

 sixty bright red solid tomatoes, as shown in our 

 engraving. It is unquestionably the greatest curi- 

 osity in the vegetable kingdom that has ever come 

 to our notice ; exceedingly ornamental and worthy 

 of a place in either the flower or vegetable garden.
