Many know the delicious 

 flavor of the old Black 



SUGAR CORN 



Culture. — Plant in hills 3 feet apart each way and 

 5 or 6 kernels in a hill. The ground should be made 

 rich with well-rotted manure. Hoe well. To have the 

 finest Sweet Corn, it must be picked in just the right 

 condition ; that is, when the skin of the grain breaks 

 at the slightest puncture, and plantings should be 

 made frequently enough to have a supply at this stage. 

 The quality will be inferior if it is either a few days 

 too old or too young. 



White Mexican. 



Mexican Sugar Corn. Here we have a white variety 

 which has all of the good qualities of sweetness and fla- 

 vor of the old dark type. It is one of the verj' earliest 

 varieties to mature that we have, furnishing edible ears 

 from four to six days ahead of the Cory and quite as 

 ■early as the Golden Bantam. The plant is about 4 to 

 \H feet tall, vigorous, healthy and productive. The 

 ■ears, in size and shape, are like those of the Black 

 Mexican, apt to have the peculiar naked tip that is 

 seen in the latter. We claim for the White Mexican a 

 leading place in the very early sorts, owing to its be- 

 ing so deliciously sweet and of such fine flavor. By 

 mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts. ; by 

 express, pt. 15c., qt. 25c., Kpk. 80c., pk. $1.40. 



Peep 0*Day. '^^^ points of this remarkable 

 — — — ^ new Corn are its extraordinary 



earliness and sweetness. The early varieties of Sweet 

 Corn do not, as a rule, yield as heavily as the later 

 sorts ; but owing to the fact that the stalks bear from 

 two to three ears each, and that they are very dwarf, 

 •which admits of their being planted close together, it 

 mot only gives an early yield, but it gives one of great 

 tproductiveness as well. By mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., 

 ipt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts. ; by express, qt. 25 cts., Hpk.80 

 'Cts., pk. $1.40. 



Holm es' Premo 60-Day. This is a very 



fine, very 



early Sugar Corn ; hardy and can be planted fully as early as the Early Adams, and seed does not rot easily when planted early. The stalks 

 :grow about 5 feet high, and mostly bear two well-developed ears to the stalk. It is of extra fine quality, very sweet and delicious. A good 

 .•early market sort. By mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts. ; by express or freight, qt. 25 cts., Vapk. 80 cts., pk. $1.40. 



Bantam. This Corn is extra-early, very sweet and of a delicious flavor. As indicated in its name, the grain when ready 

 - for use is a rich creamy yellow, deepening to an orange-yellow as it ripens. I do not recommend it as a market 



^sort, as its color gives it the appearance of being old, but when once used it will be popular on account of its rich flavor. By mail, postpaid, 

 ipt. 30 cts., qt. 50 cts. ; by express, qt. 35 cts., Hpk. $1.10, pk. $2. 



Varieties are arranged In the order of maturity. Large packets S cts. each ; ears 20 cts, each, postpaid
