FOUR GOOD SWEET 

 CORNS FOR SUCCESSION 



E.4.RLY GOLDEN, or ORANGE. We introduced this 

 new and distinct variety, after a two years' trial. Many of 

 our customeis pronounce it the most valuable of all recent 

 introductions for family use. It is of delicious quality. The 

 seed, when dry, is of a beautiful golden color, hence the name- 

 we have given it. Pint, lOc; qt 20o.; peek, §1.25.

ISTEW EARLY BONANZA. An extra early variety tcilh 

 ears as large as Evrrqrecn. This valuable variety originated a 

 few years since with an enterprising market gardener of this

 ket scferof weeks ahead of any of them large, fine ears of sweet 

 corn in great abundance, and for which he obtained almost 

 fabulous prices, it having become quite celebrated for its fine- 

 quality, and was much sought after. He h.ad always kept 

 the seed in his own hands until we obtained of him seed 

 enough to plant a few acres. It is undoubtedly as early as 

 Minnesota, Crosby's and other e,\tra early varieties, while 

 the ears are much larger than in any other early variety. It 

 is exceedinr/lij prolific, bearing two or three good ears to a
