COM 
EVERBEARING.—I introduced and first 
offered this now standard sort in 1888. It follows 
Stabler’s Early in point of maturity. It has 
plump grains totopofcob. It invariably makes 
two ears to the stalk, which, if pulled promptly, 
will be succeeded with two more and sometimes 
even four more ears on the samestalk. Quality 
excellent. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 
35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 90 cents. 
BLACK MEXICAN.—One of the most sugary 
and delicious of all the sweet corns. The grains 
when first perfected are pure white, and are then 
at their best for table use. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 
20 cts.; quart, 35 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.25. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN.—Every mar- 
ket gardener and every private gardener in the 
land knows this grand old sweet corn. It isin 
high esteem for main crop or late use, being in 
especial favor with truckers and _ canners. 
Pkt., 10c.; pt., 2Uc.; qt., 85¢., postpaid. Peck, 90c. 
I want to impress upon growers of sweet corn the 
Sact that my seed is all grown in the East, largely in the 
Connecticut: Valley, which section is pronounced by all 
who know as unquestionably the place to raise the sweet- 
est dnd most delicious sweet corn. The same growers 
have grown regularly for me for the last twenty years. 
I do not handle any Nebraska grown or other Western 
seed. If I did I would be able to quote considerably lower 
prices. Ican safely assure all my friends that my sweet 
corn is worth all I ask for it, and considering its super- 
for quality, my figures are most reasonable. 
2 GOOD SWEET CORNS. 
One the very earliest. 
The other the very latest. 
PREMO SWEET CORN. 
This strictly new sweet corn is ready before any 
| of the old sorts. Not only is it earlier than Adams 
| and Cory, but the ear is larger and the grains 
sweeter. Its average period of reaching maturity 
| is from 5610 60 days. Zhe new Premo matures 4or 
5 days ahead of Cory or Adams. This is a very 
important gain of time, especially in view of the 
| fact that Premo is a superior corn, with larger and 
sweeter ears and of better appearance. The ear of 
Premo is from 5 to7 inches long, and of fine shape 
for afirstearly sort. I therefore confidently recom- 
mend it to all gardeners for trial, being sure that 
its earliness and table quality will speedily bring 
it into favor. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.50. 
IMPROVED GIANT SUGAR CORN. 
Largest Late Variety. Very Sweet. 
The originator of this grand strain, one of the 
| most successful market gardeners in the North- 
| west, claims it to be the largest and best sweet 
| corn grown, and any one desiring sugar corn 
\ producing ears of immense size, which are at the 
same time of delicious flavor, will do well to give 
this Improved Giant a thorough trial. It is late. 
The stalks are comparatively short, and so thick 
and strong they stand up well against storms and 
rains. The ears are frequently 12 inches or more 
in length, and of proportionate thickness, well 
formed and exceedingly handsome. The Prize ear, 
three years ago, measuring 12% in. long, was sent 
in by John H. Westgate, Bernards Crossing, N. Y., 
who secured the $50.00. In sweetness, succulence, 
<j depth of grain and fine table quality the 
j Improved Giant will be found hard to beat. It is 
\ perfection itself for home use. In choice retail 
‘| markets extra price can readily be obtained for it. 
\ The illustration herewith is taken from a photo- 
|) graph of a medium sized ear, which I must admit 
\ was about as perfect an ear of sugar corn as it has 
{ been my fortune to see. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 
\ qt., 40 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.25. 
NEW WHITE EVERGREEN.—(See yellow 
, pages.) 
GOLDEN BANTAM.—(See yellow pages.) 
THE CORY. W— The earliest sweet corn, except 
| First of All, Premo and Ideal. It was originated 
{in Rhode Island, by a market gardener named 
| Cory, and for years headed the list of quick ma- 
turing sorts. It is still in wide favor. Very dwarf, 
and may be closely planted. Two ears to a stalk; 
cob red. Fit for use in 62 days from planting. 
Often grown as a second crop, in autumn. It is 
{ quite possible to realize as much clear cash on 
early sales of the Cory as on sales of the larger 
and later varieties. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; 
) quart, 85 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.00. 
ADAMS’? EXTRA EARLY.—Not so sweet nor 
| quite so early as Cory, but decidedly more hardy. 
It is not a true sweet corn, but for all that is wel- 
come on the table if pulled promptly after reach- 
ing maturity. The grains are tender and white, 
and the ear presents a fair and attractive appear- 
|ance. In general demand by truckers and mar- 
ket gardeners. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; 
quart, 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, 90 cents. 
MAULE’S MAMMOTH SUGAR.—This tall 
growing sweet corn is one of the very sweetest 
known. It matures a little Jater than Ever- 
green, and is particularly good for canning pur- 
poses. It is anexcellent late sort for the garden. 
I have known prize ears of Mammoth Sugar 
corn to reach the remarkable weight of three 
pounds each. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 
35 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.00. 
EGYPTIAN.—This is one of the latest of all 
the sweet corns; ten days later than Stowell’s 
Evergreen. It is large both in stalk and ear. 
In quality it is delicious, being sweet and ten- 
der. The ear remains long in the green state; 
a fact which increases its value for table use or 
for market. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 
35 ets., postpaid. Peck, $1.00. 
Sugar Corn for Green Forage. 
For cutting in the green state, for summer { 
forage, sweet corn is superior to any of the 
ordinary field corns. I recommend it especially 
to dairymen, for use during July, August and 
September, when pasturage is affected by dry 
weather. It forms a cheap and wholesome feed 
for cows. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 
80 cents, postpaid. Peck, 60 cents; bushel, $2.00.
