AN KAB OF NKW BUCK MOPNT.\IK IS PROPER CO'DITION' FOR ROILIXG. 



The Earliest Table 

 Corn in Cultivation 



New Buck Mountain 



This valuable new table corn was originated at Stamford, Conn., 

 where it has been monopolized by a few large sweet corn growt-rs, who 

 have made large proiits in growing it for Mew York, Boston an^l other 

 principal Eastern markets. In general appearance it resembles the cele- 

 brated Burlington Hybrid, first introduced by us several jears ago, the 

 grain being smooth and of a creamy white color; the ears, however, 

 are not quite so large, but it is ready for the table a week earlier, mak- 

 ing it decidedly the earliest table corn in cultivation. It is also ex* 

 tremely hardy, and can be planted with safety two or three weeks before 

 any of the early sugar corns, and if pulled when young is very tender, 

 sweet and juicy. The stalks grow five feet in neight, and when on good 

 ground give two to four good ears. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 25c.; qt. , 45c., by 

 mail, postage paid ; by express or freight, qt., 35c.; peck, $1.50; bush., 

 $5.50. 



Selected Strains of SWEET CORN — Eastern Grown Seed 



One quart will plant about two hundred hills, and one peckis re(iuired to plant an acre in bills. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. In 25 years' experience growing Seeds, we have never known so near a 

 complete crop failure as that of Seed Sweet Corn in 1901 The great amount of cold, wet weather in 

 the East, where the best seed is grown, shortened the crop very materially, reducing many varieties to 

 almost a failure. Prices by peck and bushel are subject to market changes and supplies being unsold. 



Varieties are arranged in the order of maturity. Large packets, 

 5c. each ; ears, 15c. each.
