SU NNY SLOPE SPEC IAL SWEET 

 l~ - ■■ll—ll - — 1 CORN 



A Valuable New Corn of 

 Very Early Maturity 



Stokes 

 Super - Standard , 



Days to maturity, 72. 

 Sunny Slope Special is 

 another origination of A. 

 L. Ritchie, a successful 

 New Jersey farmer who 

 was originally responsible 

 for Double-Barreled Best. 

 Sunny Slope Special — 

 the title coming from the 

 name of his farm — has 



imUm^^^^^^ I ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ been developed to meet 



the requirement for an 

 early-maturing Corn of 

 good table quality and 

 size. Under ordinary con- 

 ditions. Sunny Slope will 

 mature a day or so after 

 Golden Bantam, and will 

 equal the well-known 

 Howling Mob, a variety 

 with a much smaller ear, 

 and therefore a less pro- 

 fitable sort for the basket 

 market. Sunny Slope 

 Special will be found to 

 have remarkably thick 

 ears, a marked point in 

 its favor where Corn is 

 sold by either weight or 

 measure. We do not 

 believe that Sunny Slope 

 is the last word in Sweet 

 Corn development, for 

 Corn is one of the most 

 pliable of vegetables. We 



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ are now working on further 



ness, size, etc., realizing, 

 as we do, the value of the 

 early market. At this 

 time, however, we offer 



Sunny Slope Special as one of the best strains so far introduced. The stock we sell was grown in Burling- 

 ton County, N. J. Price, Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3.00, 50 lbs. $12.50.
