BURLINGTON HY- 

 BRID. This variety has 

 been grown for several 

 years with great profit by 

 a few truckers of Bur- 

 lington County, N. J. It 

 has been adopted by a 

 large number of our own 

 patrons, on our recom- 

 m e n d a t i o n , many of 

 Avhom liave written us 

 that it gives them entire 

 control of the early mar- 

 kets, proving extremely 

 profitable. It 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 as early as 

 the Adams, with an ear 

 fully as large as Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen, and 

 more productive than 

 either, producing equal 

 to the most prolific field 

 corn, it having frequent- 

 ly produced over one 

 hundred bushels to the 

 acre grown as a field 

 crop. Although not le- 

 gitimately a sugar corn, 

 • yet the husks, blades and 

 ear in a green state ex- 

 actly resemble the sugar 

 varieties, and it sells 

 readily in market as a 

 sweet or sugar corn. It 

 is, however, of much bet- 

 ter eating quality than 

 the Adams. When dry 

 the grain is smooth and 

 of a creamy white color. 

 The stalks grow to a 

 height of about five feet 

 and very compact, ad- 

 mitting of closerplanting 

 than any other variety ; 

 the ears begin to set low 

 down, and are borne 

 three to four to a stalk.
