1 qt. will plant 200 hills; 8 to 10 qts. to an acre, in hills. 



CULTURE. — Seed of the sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet if we have an early warm spell 



in spring, it may pay us to take some risks. Often the plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated light frost. Plant in 



warm soil, making the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer early sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. Hills to be 2 to 3 



feet apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th.

 Dreer's Aristocrat. (See cut.) This delicious Sweet 

 Corn was first introduced by us a few years ago. It 

 was for many years controlled by a prominent gar- 

 dener who supplies truck to the aristocrats at New- 

 port, R. I. He would not allow any of the seed to 

 get into the hands of his competitors, thus having a 

 monopoly, and as it was the finest Sweet Corn that 

 came to the market, he found no difficulty in dispos- 

 ing of all he raised. It is an extra early variety, 

 ripening with the Cory; stalks grow 4 to 6 feet high 

 and ears are of large size, measuring 8 to 10 inches 

 in length. The grains are extremely sweet, and, be- 

 ing decidedly broad, allow of easy scoring with a 

 knife preparatory to buttering when eating from the 

 cob. Pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. By ex- 

 press or freight: Ft., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., 

 $1.10; peck. $2.00. 

 Peep o' Day. Very early and prolific, producing 

 from 2 to 5 ears each, which measure about 5 inches

 cts., post]iaid. By express or freight: Ft., 15 cts.; 

 qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; peck, $1.50. 

 Golden Bantam. Produces ears measuring about five 

 inches, but the smallness of cars is fully made up by 

 the deliciously sweet flavor and tender quality of the 

 Corn when cooked. Pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight: Ft., 20 cts.; qt., 35 

 cts.; 4 qts., $1.10; peck, $2.00. 

 Golden Dawn. An extra early yellow-grained vari- 

 ety. Stalks about five feet high and bear 2 and 3 

 ears, free from smut, filled out to the extreme tip,

 postpaid. By express or freight: Ft., 20 cts.; qt.,

 press or freight: Ft., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 80 

 cts. ; peck, $1.25. 

 Stabler's Early. (See cut on page 23. ) There is 

 no second-early variety of .Sugar Corn that has given 

 such perfect satisfaction to our customers as "Stab- 

 ler's Early," and we are strong in our recommenda- 

 tion of it as the best variety to follow the small-eared 

 extra early sorts. It is very productive, and the 

 ears are unusually large for an early variety. The 

 grains are large and broad, very tender, and of remarkably 

 sweet, juicy flavor. Ft., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By 

 express or freight: R., 20 cts.; qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; 

 peck, $1.75.

 By express or freight: Ft., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 85 

 cts. ; peck, $1.50. 

 Early Evergreen. This variety resembles the Stowell's 

 Evergreen, but is ready for use much earlier, and remains in 

 good condition equally as long. The ears grow to a good 

 size, usually about 7 inches long, and contain from 16 to 18 

 rows of deep, sweet grains. Ft. , 20 cts. ; qt. , 35 cts. , post-
