New Extra Early Sweet Corn, Metropolitan 



From our own trials and those made by many of our customers the 

 past season, we think we are safe in saying that the New Metropolitan 

 combines the essential features of earliness, freedom from smut, and fine 

 quality to a more satisfactory degree than any first early sweet corn 

 ever introduced. The plant grows vigorously to a height of about 5 feet ; 

 ears long, well filled out and set low, about IJ feet from the ground ; are 

 produced two and often three on a stalk. They average about 9 inches 

 in length and are exceedingly white in color during eatable condition. 



Prices, pkt, lOc; pint, 25c.; qt.,45c., by mail, postage paid; by 

 express or freight, qt., 35c.; peck, $1.25 ; bush., $4.50. 



BURLINGTON HYBRID EXTRA EARLY CORN 



Burlington Hybrid is a cross between Adams' Extra Early and a 

 large-eared productive variety of sugar corn. Its great market value 

 can be readily seen from the fact that it is nearly as early as the 

 Adams, with an ear as large as Stowell's Evergreen, and more pro=. 

 ductive than either. Although not legitimately a sugar corn, yet the 

 husks, blades and ear in a green state exactly resemble the sugar varieties. 

 Ears begin to set low down, and are borne three to four to a stalk. Pkt., 

 lOc; pint, 20c. ; qt., 35c., postpaid ; by freight or express, qt., 25c.; peck, 

 85c.; bush., $3.00 ; 2 bush., $5.50. 



THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN 



Country Gentleman possesses all the superior qualities of the 



old Shoe Peg, viz., the deepest grain, smallest cob and richest flavor, and 

 resembles it in every other respect, except that the ears are much 

 larger. Notwithstanding the greater size of the ear, it is_ fully as pro- 

 ductive, producing three to four good ears to the stalk. Pint, 20c. ; qt., 

 30c., postpaid ; by freight or express, qt., 20c.; peck, 80c.; bush., $3.00. 



NEW ZIG-ZAG EVERGREEN SWEET CORN 



The ears resemble Stowell's Evergreen in size and shape, except that 

 the kernels are placed irregularly or zig-zag upon the cob. This and the 

 Country Gentleman are unquestionably the two sweetest corns in culti- 

 vation. Pint, 20c.; qt., 35c., postpaid; by express or freight, qt., 25c.; 

 peck, $1.00 ; bush., $3.50.
