EMRL-Y OKiA£N SiA^EET CORN. 



This new iind distinct sugar corn is pronounced by those wlio liave grown it the most valuable introduction since tlie 

 Burlington Hybrid and Cory. It is unquestionably the Largest-eared A\Tiite-cobbed Early Sweet Corn, with rich, 

 creamy-white kernels, so large, plump and deep, tlwit the siiell or hull so prominent in most varieties is reduced to a mini- 

 mum; the ears, in many instances, having sixteen to twenty-two rows. We believe it to be one of the best early genuine 

 Sweet or Sugar Corns grown. Pkt., lOc; pint, 20e.; qt., -Wc; peek, $1.25 ; bush., &4.00. 



NEW EARLY BONANZA. A few years since an 

 enterprising market gardener of this city astonished his 

 brother gardeners by having in market, ,'serera/ irecks ahead 

 of any of them, targe, fine ears of sweet corn in great abund- 

 ance, for which he obtained almost fabulous prices. Having 

 become quite celebrated for its fine quality, it was much 

 sought after. Its good qualities were fixed by careful selec- 

 tion of seed, and it was named New Early Bonanz.-v. It is 

 undoubtedly as early as Minnesota, Crosby's and other extra 

 early varieties, while the ears are much larger. It is exceed- 

 ingly prolific, bearing two or three good ears to the stalk.

THE HONEY. Originated with a German market 

 gardener near Allentown, Pa., who had the reputation of 

 bringing the finest and sweetest corn to that market, for 

 Tvhich he realired very high prices. In growth and appear- 

 ance it is unlike any other variety, the husks and stalks being 

 of a deep red color during growth, while the corn itself is of 

 a beautiful cream white, much shrivelled when dry, with 

 deep grain and small cob. It is also a most productive 

 variety, bearing three to four good, large ears on a stalk, 

 growing vigorously, and coming in as early as Moore"s Con- 

 cord. No market or private garden is complete without it.
