} 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 66 to 60 days. YVhe new Premo matures 4 or 
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 ot 
Premo is from 4 to 7 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 
<j 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 124% in. long, was sent 
in by John H. Westgate, Bernards Crossing, N. Y., 
~ | who secured the $50.00. In sweetness, succulence, 
jdepth of grain and fine table quality the 
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., 20 cts.; 
|) qt., 85 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.25.

THE CORY. — 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 ciear cash on 
early sales of the Cory as on sales of the larger 
and later varieties. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; 
quart, 35 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.25. 
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;
