Mammoth 

 Sugar. 



CORN. 



(Sweet or Sugar.) 



One quart will plant two hundred 



hills ; eight to ten quarts 



for an acre in hills. 



We have observed closely the maturing 

 of all varieties of Sugar Corn at our ex- 

 perimental grounds, Eiverton, N. J., and 

 have classified them according to the 

 time of maturity. In elevated and moun- 

 tainous districts we would recommend the 

 Extra Early and Second Early sorts only, 

 and plantings to be made not later than 

 June 20th to July 1st, to insure a crop 

 before frost. 



The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable 

 to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be 

 planted before May, or until the ground 

 has become warm ; for a succession con- 

 tinue planting every two weeks, until the 

 middle of July, in rich, well-manured 

 ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, 

 covering about half an inch, and thin out 

 to three plants to a hill. The extra early 

 varieties can be planted 18 inches in the 

 row and 2J feet between the rows. 



Prices : Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 15 cts.; qt. 20 cts.; \ peck 50 cts.; peck SO cts., except where noted. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 



Dreer's First of AH. The earliest Sweet Corn, ripening 

 a week earlier than Cory. Ears medium sized, very full, 

 sweet and of delicious flavor. Pkt. 10 cts. ; pt. 15 cts. ; 

 qt. 25 cts.; >]- peck 60 cts.; peck $1.00. 



Adams' Extra Early. The hardiest and earliest variety 

 for table use ; can be planted earlier than any other, but 

 is not a Sweet Corn ; white, indented grains and short ear. 



White Cob Cory. An improved variety of the Cory Corn 

 with uniformly white cobs. It is as early as the ordinary 

 Cory, and will be preferred by many who object to the 

 red cob sorts. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 15 cts.; qt. 25 cts.; 

 h peck 60 cts.; peck $1.00. 



Early Minnesota. One of the earliest habit dwarf, ears 

 small and productive. 



SECOND EARLY VARIETIES. 



Crosby's Early. A favorite variety, very early, produc- 

 tive, ears rather short, and of a rich, sugary flavor. 



Stabler's Early. Of large size, remarkable for fine flavor, 

 sweetness and earliness* and is a desirable gardener's and 

 canning variety. 



Stabler's Nonpareil. The best second early Corn. It 

 yields large ears, bearing tender grains of the most 

 delicious flavor. A superior sort for the canning trade. 



GENERAL CROP. 



Triumph. Ears large, productive, flavor rich and sweet; 

 a fine market variety. 



Egyptian. A fine large variety, somewhat resembling the 

 Evergreen ; flavor peculiarly rich and sweet. 



Little Gem (Ne Plus Ultra or Shoe Peg). An old but ex- 

 cellent variety that is grown around Philadelphia by 

 those who know a good thing, its small size being in 

 large measure atoned for by its productiveness and its 

 exquisite flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 15 cts.; qt. 25 cts.;
