COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. This is a decided 

 improvement on that excellent variety, the 

 Ne Plus Ultra, which is regarded as the sweet- 

 est corn grown. It is pre eminently an epicure 

 variety, being the sweetest and most tender uf 

 all. The ears are medium, cob small, kernels 

 of extraordinary depth, pearly whiteness, and 

 irregularly crowded together on the cob. It 

 is very productive, bearing from two to four

 elicited from gardeners such enthusiastic 

 praise. It is pronounced by every person who 

 has eaten it, the sweetest of any they have ever 

 tasted. The husks and stalks are of a red 

 color during growth, while the corn itself is of 

 a beautiful cream white, with deep grain and 

 small cob. A productive variety, bearing 

 three to four good large ears to a stalk, grow- 

 ing vigorously, and coming in medium early. 

 No garden is complete without it. Per pkt. 5

SILVER COIN. This new variety comes highly 

 recommended. It is of remarkably large size 

 and produces usually two and occasionally 

 three ears to a stalk. It comes in as early as 

 Stowell's Evergreen. It is more prolific, the 

 ears more uniform and remain long in a edible 

 condition. The kernels are deep and of a 

 pearly whiteness. This grand new corn, for 

 its lender and luscious quality, productiveness 

 and large size, is the most profitable corn that 

 can be grown by the market gardener and 

 canner. Per pit. 5 cts.. pt. 25 cts. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. This variety is 

 more largely planted than any other, being 

 the general favorite with canners and market 

 gardeners for late use. It is very productive, 

 the ears are of large size, grains deep, excep- 

 tionably 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 and specially recommended. Per

OLD COLONY. A selection of the evergreen 

 type, but about ten days earlier, which has 

 come into high favor with our customers the 

 past seasons. Mr. Clark, who originated and 

 named this sort; believes the old Colony is the 

 best late sort for all purposes. The ear, when 

 ready for the market, can hardly be distin- 

 guished from the Evergreen. Per pkt. 5 cts , 

 pt. 20 cts.. qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts.. bu. $2.50.

 i)eing flatter. Largely used by canners and 

 market gardeners. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.50.
