 is tender and sweet, and of extra high table quality. It almost always 

 yields two perfect ears to the stalk, the ears being 9 to 12 inches long, 

 compactly filled with grains from end to end. It is a pink-cobbed variety, 

 and preferred by many people on that account. Packet, 10 cents;

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, or IMPROVED SHOE PEG This 



is a midseason sweet corn. The ears are of quite large size, and fre-

 retail trade. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., postpaid.
