NETV CUCUMBER, THE " CUMBERI.AND."

 handsome appearance, grow to a desirable size, very straight, firm, solid and cri-p. The color is a rich pea-green, and flavor 

 very fine, either when eaten sliced in the raw state, or after they have been pickled. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; ^Ib., £0 cts.; lb., 52.50.

 ears usually measure abuut 9 inches in length, and are closely 

 filled with 10 to 12 rows of beautiful, deep grains, even to the 

 extreme tip. Tlie quality and flavor is all that could be de- 

 sired, being equally as sweet and sugary as any of the late 

 varieties. The ears are covered w'nh a thick and strong husk, 

 which makes it a valuable variety for shipping. Pkt., 10 cts,;

S^VEET CORN, 



EAREY CHAMPION.

 market for a few years, and has proved to be a valuable early 

 variety. It is medium early in ripening, and produces large 

 ears, generally having about twelve rows of beautiful while, 

 milky grains, which are very tender and sweet, and remain so ' 

 for quite a period. This is a S]ilendid variety for planting in 

 the home garden, as it is a strong, healthy grower ancl very 

 productive. These qualities also make it a profitable Sweet 

 Corn for the market gardener to plant. Our seed was grown 

 especially for us in Connecticut, and is very pure. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 pt., 20 CIS. (postpaid, 25 cts.); qt., 30 cts. (postpaid, 40 cts.);

S^^EET CORN, 



EAREY EVERGREEN. 



For many years the Stowell's Evergreen has been the most 

 popular Sweet Corn for main crop. A Michigan grower, know- 

 ing this, has repeatedly made selections for earliness, and the 

 result is the " Early Evergreen." It ripens about ten days 

 earlier, and produces ears a trifle shorter than the " Stowell's," 

 but the quality is equally as good. The grains are deep and 

 remaikaljly sweet. It is a splendid variety to come in between 

 the early and late sorts, anJ is destined to become as popular 

 as the Stowell's Evergreen. This variety will undoubtedly 

 rapidly gain many friends, particularly those who have grown 

 the original " Stowell's," and can make a comparison of the two. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 25 cts.) ; qt., 30 cts. (post- 

 paid, 40 cts.); 4 qts., 80 Cts.; peck, |1.25.
