TWO Valuable New sweet Corns. 



Burbank's Early Maine. 



A PURE WHITE SWEET CORN, EARLIER THAN CORY. 



"When Mr. E. W. Burbank, of Maine, wrote us he had originated a new Sweet Corn earlier than 

 Cory, we were at first inclined to doubt his statement, but his claim has now been confirmed by our own 

 trials, as well as by a number of our Market Garden customers, who write they find it to be fully three 

 to five days earlier, with many other decided advantages over the famous Cory Corn. The ear is much 

 longer and larger, with a pure white cob, kernels rich cream white, sweet and juicy. It also looks 

 nicer on the table, being entirely free from the red shade shown in the Cory and Marblehead. Stalk 

 grows to medium height, and on good soil will average two ears. It should be planted by every 

 gardener who values earliness in sweet corn. Pkt , toc; pint, 20c.; qt., 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; peck,

NEW LATE SWEET GORN-"COUNTRY GENTLEMAN." 



THE SWEETEST OF ALL SUGAR CORNS. 



The Shoe Peg Corn, introduced by us a few years since, has rapidly grown in popularity, and 

 is generally considered the choicest and sweetest sort that can be grown for private iise. The Country 

 G-entleniaii, which was originated for the express purpose of excelling the Shoe Peg, possesses all 

 its superior qualities, viz : the deepest grain, smallest cob, and richest flavor of all sweet corns, 

 and resembles Shoe Peg in every other respect, except that the ears are nearly twice as large, as 

 shown in the photograph below, which is of an average ear, nine inches in length. Notwithstanding 

 the greater size of the ear, it is fully as productive, producing three to four good ears to the stalk. We 

 recommend it as the best sweet corn now before the public for the private garden, while its large ear 

 and fine quality make it most desirable for the market gardener. Pkt., loc; pint, 20c.; qt., 40c., post- 

 paid ; qt., 25c.; peck, Jfi.oo; bush., I3.75, by freight or express.
