MY SWEET CORN is imsurpassed, is all my own 

 growth, grown from the very best stock seed 

 carefully selected, thoioughly fire dried, care- 

 fully cured and cared for. It is grown so far 

 north that it is adapted to any section of country, 

 and surpasses in earliness and productiveness that 

 offered by any other seedsman. The earlier varie- 

 ties should be planted as soon as the ground is 

 nicely settled in si)riug, or about the same time 

 that 'field corn is planted. To have the finest 

 sweet corn of any variety, it should 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 

 always to have a supply at this stage. The quality 

 is inferior if it is a few days too old or too young. 



Culture. 



A rich, warm, alluvial soil is best, 

 and immediately before plaoting 

 this should be thoroughly worked. Give frequent 

 and thorough but shallow cultivation until tassels 

 appear.

FIRST EARLY VARI ETIES.

 white corn for table use. Dwarf stalk, small ears, hardy ; can 

 be planted earlier than any sweet corn. pt. 8c, pt. 15c, qt.25c.

 one of the best eaily sorts for the market and the private gar- 

 den. Stalks short and not suckering, bearing one or two ears 

 well covered with husks ; ears long, eight rowed ; kernels very 

 broad, sweet and tender, not shrinking much in drying. By 

 careful selection we have developed a stock of th's standard 

 variety which is remarkably uniform and in which all the good 

 qualities which have made it so popular are intensified. pt. 

 8c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c. 



BALLARD'S EARLY CHICAGO MARKET— Another popular and 

 standard early variety of recent introduction, and has gained 

 popular favor very rapidly. Strong, stocky grower, always pro- 

 ducing a reliable stand, having ears in great abundance of the 

 finest quality. Extremely desirable for market gardeners and 

 very valuable for the family garden. Its symmetrical growth, 

 good yield and fine quality place it in an enviable position. Mr.

 Would plant no other for ouruse."}{ pt. 8c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c. 



EARLY CROSBY — A most excellent variety, remarkably early and 

 of the best flavor. Ears of medium size, twelve or mor= i'owed, 

 grain very thick and sweet. This is the sort so largely grown 

 in Maine for canning, and it is 'the use of this variety rather 

 than any peculiarity of the soil that has given Maine sweet corn 

 its reputation for quality. }{ pt. 8c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c.
