EARLY FOKDHOOK SWEET CORN. 



EARLY FORDHOOK i 

 SWEET CORN. 



EARLY FORDHOOK is undoubtedly th? 

 largest 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. The quality is excellent, decidedly i 

 sweeter than any other early Sweet Corn. 1 



The value of FORDHOOK EARLY can b3 ! 

 known when we say that competent judges 

 have pronounced it superior to Crosby in 

 flavor, while it is five to six days earlier. It I 

 remains fit for table use longer than any ] 

 early corn now known, and can always be ' 

 thoroughly enjoyed. 



For large, white ear.s, sweetness, and the 

 length of time it remains fit for use, FORD- 

 HOOK EARLY will now take first place - 

 as the finest extra early Sweet Corn for , 

 both the market gardener and private | 

 planter. j

NEW EARLY CHAMPION SWEET CORN. 



The earliest large Sweet Corn in existence. Produces ears ten inches long in 60 days. This 

 new variety is, without question the earliest Sweet Corn yet introduced, being only a few 

 days later than the first early small sorts. Ears nearly as large as the Mammoth Iwelve-rowed: 

 pure white kernels, with medium sized white cob; very sweet, tender and full of milk, yield- 

 ing from two to three ears to the stalk. The best kind for early and late planting. Price 

 per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.00. 



New Miponette Lettoee 



The entire plant measures only seven inches 

 in diameter, and is more solid and compact than 

 any other variety. The outer leaves are few, 

 and these cling closely to the head. The small 

 surface of the leaves which are separated from 

 the head is deeply crumpled as in a Savoy 

 cabbage, and richly colored with russet red 

 and bronze green. The cut shows very truly 

 the character of the plant, which is distinct, 

 not only in its solidity, but also in color. The 

 heart is a charming combination of creamy yel- 

 low waved with pale greenish white. It is 

 very hardy, resisting drouth and excessive 

 moisture with equal success— a most valuable 

 feature in our climate. It is fit for use early, 

 which, combined with its long standing char- 

 acter, constitutes it an all-seasons variety.
