NEW EARIiY CHAMPION SWEET CORN 



In recent years we have introduced several new varieties of sweet corn, all of which have now 

 become leading standard sorts. From our own trials and experience of a large number of our custo- 

 mers 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 Connecticut, 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 : " yew Champion is the largest and best early com we know of It ripens a little earlier than 

 Crosby's Extra Early, with an ear larger than Concord ; in fact, many of the ears grow fully as lar^e as 

 Evergreen. It is 10 and 12 rowed and pure white in color. Its earliness and large size will certainly 

 make it one of the most desirable for market or home use." Per pkt., 10c.; pint, 2oc.; qt., 40c., post- 

 paid ; qt., 2oc.; peck, $1.00; bush., §3.50, by freight or express. 



KENDEli'S EARL2Y GIANT SWEET GeRN 



Our attention was nrst called to this new white cob sweet corn in tiie spring of 1S96, and, after 

 critical tests for two years on our trial grotmds, we find it possesses great merit, and, therefore, give it a 

 prominent place in this catalogue. It is very early, being fit for use in sixty days from planting. The 

 ears are large, S to 10 inches in length, the majority having twelve rows to a cob. Kernels pure white, 

 very sweet and tender. It is also a most productive variety, and will prove a valuable acquisition 

 to every home or market gardener who plants it. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 2oc.: qt., 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; 

 peck, $1.00 : bush.. 63. .50, by freight or express.
