SWEET CORN 



Ger. Welskoreti. Fr. Mais. 

 One quart will plant 200 hills. 

 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, and for 

 a succession plant every two weeks, until the middle 

 of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills three 

 feet apart each way, covering about an inch, and thin 

 out to three plants to a hill, or plant in rows four 

 feet apart, and to stand eight inches apart in the 

 rows. 



If wanted by Express or Freight, deduct for post- 

 age 5 cts., per pt., 10 cts. per qt. 



First-of-All Corn. 



FIRST-OF-ALL. The Earliest Sweet 

 Corn in Cultivation. Ripening a week 



earlier than Cory and ears larger and of superior 

 quality, sweet and of delicious flavor. Extremely 

 valuable to market gardeners for first early. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. 

 $2.00. 



EXTRA EARLY WHITE CORY. Except- 



ing the First-of-All, this is the very best extra 

 early sweet corn grown. Ears medium size, large 

 grain, sweet and of fine quality. Desirable for pri- 

 vate or market garden. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 35 cts., pk. 60 cts., bu. $2.00. 



MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. This new 



strain is fully as early as the original Cory. The 

 ears are 12-rowed, much larger in size, white cob- 

 bed, the ears retain the pearly whiteness of the 

 grains when cooked. No other Sweet Com will find 

 ready sale, as this is king of the market, for no 

 other variety can compete with it as an extra 

 early, and thus the market gardener who raises it 

 monopolizes the cream of the early trade. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. 75 cts. 



FORDHOOK EARLY. This is the larg- 

 est eared early Corn, averaging in length fully 

 seven inches. The grains and cob are pure white. 

 The ears are eight-rowed with very small cobs and 

 unusually deep grains. For large, white ears, 

 sweetness, and the length of time it remains fit for 

 use, it takes first place as one of the finest extra 

 early Sweet Corns for both the market gardener 

 and private planter. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 35 cts., pk. 60 cts. 



CROSBY'S EARLY. A most excellent 



variety remarkably early and of the best flavor. 

 Ears of medium size, ten or twelve rowed, grain 

 very thick and sweet. A fine market variety. This 

 is the sort so largely grown in Maine for canning. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 60 cts., 

 bu. $2.00. 



EARLY CHAMPION. The earliest large 



Sweet Com. Produces ears ten inches long in 60 

 days. This new variety is, without question, the 

 earliest large Sweet Corn yet introduced, being only 

 a few days later than the first early small sorts. 

 Ears nearly as large as the Mammoth twelve-rowed; 

 pure white kernels, with medium sized white cob; 

 very sweet, tender and full of milk, yielding from 

 two to three ears to the stalk. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 

 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 60 cts., bu. $2.25. 



NONE SUCH SUGAR. This new variety 



is one of the Finest Sweet Corns in cultivation. It 

 will please a lover of delicious, meaty Sweet Cora, 

 i and will suit the most exacting customer. Medium 

 I early, coming in after the second earlies, of extra 

 strong growth, stalks and cobs of a beautiful pink 

 color, grain white, ears large, twelve to fourteen 

 rowed; wonderfully productive. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 

 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 60 cts., bu. $2.25. 



COUNTRY GENTLEMEN. This excel- 

 lent variety is regarded as the sweetest com 

 grown. It is pre-eminently an epicure variety, 

 being the sweetest and most tender of all. The 

 ears are medium, cob small, kemels of extraordin- 

 ary depth, pearly whiteness. It is very productive, 

 bearing from two to four ears on the stalk. It 

 matures medium to late. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 

 cts., qt. 30 cts., pk. 60 cts., bu. $2.00. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. This var- 

 iety is more largely planted man any other, being 

 the general favorite with canners and market gar- 

 deners for late use. It is very productive, the ears 

 I are of large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender 

 and sugary, and remain for a long time in an 

 edible condition. This variety is necessary to every 

 garden. Our stock is very fine ana specially recom- 

 mended. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 30 cts., 

 pk. 60 cts., bu. $2.00. 



ZIGZAG EVERGREEN. A new variety 



resembling Country Gentleman, but jielding larger 

 ears. Many of the stalks bear two ears; the kernels 

 usually run zigzag down the cob, whence its name. 

 It is remarkably sweet and fur this reason is be- 

 coming a great favorite among the canning factories 

 of the West. Also one of its most valuable charac- 

 teristics is the long time it stands on the stalk in 

 good condition for the table, a fact which increases 



j its value both for home use and as a market crop.

 deners. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35cts., pk.
