THE THREE SWEETEST CORNS IN CULTIVATION. 



New Zig-Zag Evergrreen 



After testing this corn thoroughly at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds, as well as among a number of our customers, we 

 are glad to say that the high recoinmendation given it by the 

 originator was not the least overdrawn ; we found it one of 

 the sweetest and best late Sweet Corns we have ever 

 grown. The ears resemble Stowell's Evergreen in size and 

 shape, except that the kernels are placed irregularly or zig-zag 

 upon the cob, which is always an indication of great sweet- 

 ness in any variety of sugar corn. Pkt., lOc; pint, 25c.; qt., 

 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; peck, 90c.; bush., $3.00, by freight. 



Country Gentleman Sweet Corn 



The Shoe Peg Corn, introduced by us some years since, 

 has become very popular and well known. The Country 

 Gentleman, which was originated for the express purpose 

 of excelling the Shoe Peg, possesses all its superior quali- 

 ties, viz.: the deepest grain, smallest cob and richest flavor, 

 and resembles Shoe Peg in every other respect, except that 

 the ears are much larger. Notwithstanding the greater size 

 of the ear, it is fully as productive, producing three to four 

 good ears to the stalk. Pkt., lOc; pint. 20c.; qt., 35c., post- 

 paid ; qt., 20e.; peck, 70c.; bush., 82.50, bv freightor express. 



SHOE PEG, or Ne Plus Ultra. This very excellent 

 variety originated at Bordentown, N. J. The stalks are of 

 medium height, without suckers, joints short and yield 

 enormously. The kernel is small, very long, white and ex- 

 ceedingly tender, sweet, and of a rich, juicy flavor, not 

 equalled by any other sorts, except the Country Gentle- 

 man and Zig-zag Evergreen. Pkt., 5c.; pint, lOc; qt., 

 20c.; peck, 70e.; bush., S2.50. 



LATE MAIVIIVIOTH. The largest of all varieties ; ears 

 very large, productive, flavor rich and sweet ; a fine market 

 variety. Pint, lOc; qt., 20c.; peck, 70c.; bush., S2.50.

 variety, somewhat resembling the Evergreen; flavor pecu- 

 liarly rich and sweet and superior quality; fine for market.

 Bush,, $1.50; 5 bush, and over, $1,40 per bush. 



Original Stowell's Evergreen 



A large part of the sugar corn sold as Stowell's Evergreen 

 is not the true stock. We have seen what purported to be 

 Stowell's Evergreen, growing on six different farms, and 

 there were no two of these crops the same corn, and not 

 one of them the true Evergreen as originated by Mr, Stowell 

 and sold by him in Philadelphia markets over twenty years 

 ago. We are satisfied that a majority of farmers and truck- 

 ers who have for many years grown what was ealled Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen, have really never had that variety in its 

 original purity. The stock we offer has been grown and 

 Ciirefully selected each season from seed originally purchased 

 from the originator, and notwithstanding there have been 

 scores <^ new varieties introduced since, there is to-day no 

 late sweet corn more satisfactory than the true Stowell's 

 Evergreen , for either market, family use or canning. Pint, 

 20c.; qt., 35c., post-paid; qt.,20c,; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.50, by 

 freight. Special prices by letter for larger quantities.
