210 Golden Cream Sweet Corn 



A Golden Yellow Country Gentleman 



This new yellow grained sweet corn has become 

 very popular on account of Its delicious flavor. 

 Its sweetness and tenderness resemble both 

 parents, Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman. 

 It is as early as the former. The stalks grow about 

 four to live feet high, and bear from two to four 

 ears which vary in size but average about five 

 Inches in length. Bather smaller than the old- 

 fashioned sweet corn, but easily handled in eating, 

 The kernels are long and pointed and are borne on 

 a very slender cob in irregular rows. In its green 

 state the kernels are light yellow but they cook to 

 a bright golden yellow. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 40 cts.; 4 qts., $1.10; pk., $8.00; bn., $7.00. 



224 



Premo 



One of the earllestsweet corn, reaching maturity 

 in about 60 days and combines all the merits of 

 tlie leading early varieties, and is superior to many 

 of tbeni in size, quality and yield. Premo can be 

 planted fully as early as the Adams, for the young 

 plants withstand slight frosts, while the other 

 varieties are tender. The stalks grow about 5 feet 

 high, and are very vigorous, generally bearing two 

 well-developed ears to the stalk. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, !25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; pk., $1.35; bit., $4.75. 



225 Maule's Improved Giant Sugar 



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. In sweetness, 

 succulence, depth of grain and fine table quality 

 Maule's Improved Giant will be found hard to 

 beat. I recommend it to private or market 

 gardeners. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00, pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00. 



226 Mammoth White Cory 



The ears ai-e very handsome, with no openings 

 between the rows at the base. Grains large and 

 white and of remarkably good quality for such an 

 early sort. The size and beauty of this variety 

 give it ready sale even when the market is over- 

 stocked. Fine for home or market gardeners. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or frelg[ht, not prepaid, 

 qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; pk.,'$1.75; bu., $6.00. 



227 Adam's Extra Early 



Not so sweet nor as early as Premo, but decid- 

 edlv more hardy. Is welcomed on the table if 

 pulled promptly after reaching maturity. The 

 grains are tender and white, and the ear presents 

 a fair and attractive appearance. In general de- 

 mand by truckers and market gardeners. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; qtiart, 35 cts., 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 55 cts.; pk., $1.00; bu., $3.50. 



218 Black Mexican 



Everyone who has seen this Corn remembers 

 it and the delicious sweetness and fine grain 

 qualities in spite of its dark color, make it 

 more and more of a favorite every year. Grains 

 when first perfected are pure white, aiid are 

 then at their best for table use. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 pt., 20 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By ex- 

 press or freight, not prepaid, quart, 30 

 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 



221 



Stowell's Evergreen 



standard main crop variety. Strong and 

 vigorous stalks, seven to eight feet high; pro- 

 duces ears eight inches long with 16 or more 

 rows of the finest sugary grains. This variety 

 has gained and maintained a reputation for pro- 

 ductiveness, fine rich flavor and sweetness, deep 

 set tender white grains, making it the most 

 popular favorite. In market, home, or cannery 

 it always is a success. Packet, 10 cts..; pint, 

 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts., postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; 

 4 quarts, 75 cts.; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.75. 



GOLDEN CREAM SWEET CORN. 



217 Z.{g Zag Evergreen 



A medium to late Shoe Peg variety. Ma- 

 tures about eight days ahead of Stowell's Ever- 

 green; the kernels are shaped like those of Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen; but the arrangement on the cob 

 is entirely different; so peculiar, in fact, as to 

 give the corn its name. Two perfect ears to the 

 stalk. Invariably. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 

 qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By express or lirelght, 

 not prepaid, quart, 30 cts.; 4 quarts, 85 cts.; 

 peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 



232 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, Axigust and 

 September, when pasturage is affected by dry- 

 weather. It forms a cheap and wholesome feed 

 for cows, as every part of the stalk and leaves 

 are relished. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; 

 quart, 30 cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 20 cents; 

 4 quarts, 45 cts.; peck, 75 cts;. bushel, $2.75.
