THE CORY, .\fter care- 

 fully testing this new variety. 

 we were the first to ofTer it 

 four years since; grown side 

 by side with Marblehead and 

 other early varieties, it leads 

 them all by fully a iceck. It 

 will produce good e.irs for 

 boiling in fifly-two days from 

 plaiiliiig. It has a larger ker- . 

 nel than the Marblehead, and* 

 is quite distinct, being whiter 

 in color. Market gardeners 

 and others who have grown 

 the Cory Corn, havecompletely 

 controlled the early market. 

 Our stock comes directly from

NEW EARLY BONANZA. An extra early variety with 

 ears as targe as Evergreen. This valuable variety originated

 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 had always 

 kept tlie 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

 stalk. Pint, 2.5c.; qt.,45c.; peck, S1.25; bush., S4.00.
