KENDEL'S EARLY GIANT SWEET CORN 



Our attention was first ciiUed to this new ^hite (< I) 

 sweet corn in the spring of 1896, and, after crilic;il te'-t^ im 

 our trial grounds and among our customers, we find il pi s- 

 sesses great merit. It is very early, being fit for u.«-cin.'-i\ty 

 days from planting. The ears are large, 8 to lOinthe-in 

 length, the majority having twelve rows toacob. Keinc Is 

 pure white, very sweet and tender. It is also a most pio- 

 ductive variety, and will prove a valuable acqui'.iiion lo 

 every home or market gardener wlio plants it. Pkt , 10c ,

BURLINGTON HYBRID CORN 



This variety has been grown for several years with 

 great profit by the truckers of Burlington County, N. J. It 

 lias been adopted by a large number of our own pat- 

 rons, on our recom- 

 mendation, many 

 of whom have writ- 

 ten us that it gives 

 them entire control 

 of the early mar- 

 kets. It is a crost 

 between Adams' 

 E.\tra Early and a 

 large-eared produc- 

 tive variety of 

 sugnr corn. Its 

 great market value 

 can be readily seen 

 from the fact that i t 

 is nearly as early 

 as the Adams, 

 with an ear as 

 large as S t o w - 

 ell's Evergreen, 

 and more produc- 

 tive than either, it 

 having frequently 

 produced over one 

 hundred bushels to 

 the acre grown as a 

 field crop. Al- 

 though not legiti- 

 m a tel y a sugar 

 corn, yet the husks, 

 blades and ear in a 

 green state exactly 

 resemble the sugar 

 varieties, as shown 

 in our photograph 

 alongside, and it 

 sells readily in mar- 

 ket as a sweet or 

 sugar corn. It is, 

 however, of much 

 better eating qual- 

 ity than the Adams. 

 When dry the gr:iiii 

 is smooth and of a 

 creamy white color. 

 The stalks grow to 

 a height of about 

 five feet and very 

 compact, admitting 

 of close planting ; 

 the ears begin to set 

 low (loAvn, and are 

 borne three to four 

 to a stalk. Pkt.,

 lOc, postpaid ; qt.,

 bush., S3.00, by 

 freight or express. 



GREEN E.\R OF BURLINGTON HYBRID. 



MAMMOTH WHITE CORY SWEET CORN 



A decided improvement over both the popular White and 

 Red Cory, producing large ears, from 7 to 8 inches long, as 

 shown in photograph, and a real improvement over all other 

 extra early sorts. The ears are twelve-rowed, fully twice the 

 size of the old Cory, white-cobbed and covered with very large 

 white grains of extra quality. No other sweet corn will find 

 ready sale in a market which is supplied with Slammoth 

 White Corj', and the gardener or farmer who wishes to get 

 the cream of the trade should make his plantings of this 

 splendid new sort. Pkt., lOc; pt, 25c.; qt.,45c.; postpaid. Qt., 

 30e ; peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00, by freight or express. 



EARLY CHAMPION SWEET CORN 



In recent years we have introduced several new varie- 

 ties of sweet c<jrn, all of which have now become leading 

 standard sorts. From our own trials and experience of a large 

 number of our customers who grew the New Champion last 

 season, we predict that, when fully introduced, it will become 

 a leader among the early sorts. Mr. E. B. Clark, of Connec- 

 ticut, is one of the largest growers of Seed Sweet Corn in this 

 country, and we know of no one who is a better authority on 

 the subject. He writes as follows: "New Champion is the 

 largest and best early corn we know of It ripens a little ear- 

 lier than Crosby's Extra Early, with an ear larger than Con- 

 cord ; in fact, many of the ears grow fully as large as Evergreen. 

 It is 10 and 12 rowed and pure white in color. Its earliness and 

 large size will certainly niake it one of the most desirable 

 for market or home use." Per pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 40c., 

 postpaid; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.50, by freight or 

 express.
