PLANT FOR "EXTRA EARLY" SWEET CORN 



WHITE COB CORY 



AN extremely early variety, usually fit to use in from 

 fifty to sixty days from seed sowing. It is not 

 only the earliest, but is one of the sweetest and best. 

 It is a sport or selection from the famous Red Cob Cory, 

 which for years held popular favor as the best first early. 

 White Cob Cory retains all of the good qualities of its 

 parent, with the added merits of having a white cob and 

 white kernels, free from the objectionable reddish tinge 

 that sometimes occurred in the red cob variety. The 

 plants are dwarf and stock}', enabling them to be closely 

 planted; usually two ears are borne on a stalk. It is 

 not only the best first early sweet corn, but it is valu- 

 able to plant late in summer for autumn use. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.50 pk. 



PLANT FOR "MEDIUM EARLY" SWEET CORN 



EARLY CHAMPION 



HILE this is comparatively a new variety to the gen- 

 eral public, yet it has really been grown for several 

 years by a few people in many sections of the country, 

 and from them we hear nothing but praise about it. 

 These encomiums, and our own opinion of its merits, 

 formed from our thorough trials, convince us that Early 

 Champion is destined to become the leader among me- 

 dium early sweet corns. It is the earliest large variety 

 grown, being but a few days later than small extra earlies. 



y 



Early Champion is as early as Crosby, and often larger than Concord. 

 It is a 12-rowed variety, with large handsome ears filled with plump, 

 deep white kernels, that retain their milky tenderness for an unusually 

 long period. Quality and flavor surpassingly fine and sweet. Valuable 

 for either home or market. Verv productive. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.,' 30c. qt., $1.50 pk. 



PLANT FOR " MIDSEASON " SWEET CORN 



THE "HENDERSON" 



THIS is an ideal corn. It follows after the early varieties, and is 

 ' ready for the table about two weeks before the latest sorts. The 

 "Henderson " Corn produces uniformly large, thick ears, averaging twelve 

 inches in length, being compactly filled from butt to tip with long milky- 

 white kernels of luscious tenderness. The toothsome quality is retained 

 for a much longer time than with most corns. The plants are luxuriant, 

 healthy growers, are scarcely affected by drought, and are wonderfully 

 prolific. For the home garden it is peerless, and is one of the most 

 valuable sorts grown for canning and market. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.75 pk. 



PLANT FOR "LATE" SWEET CORN 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 



MOW recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for home use 

 - 1 and market, and is the general favorite. The ears are of a large 

 size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and have the advan- 

 tage of remaining longer in the green state than any other. Our stock 

 has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter 

 grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this best of all late 

 sorts. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk.
