POPULAR VARIETIES THAT HAVE NO EQUAL. 



GERMAN, Welchkorn; FRENCH, Mais; SPANISH, Maiz; SWEDISH, Majas-Sot. 



My Sweet Corn is unsurpassed, is all my owa growth, grov.-a from the very best stock seed carefully selected, thoroughly fire-dried, care- 

 fully cured and cared for. It is grown so far north that it is adapted to any section of the country, and surpasses in earliness and productiveness 

 that offered by any other seedsman. The earlier varieties should be planted as soon as the ground is nicelv settled in Sprinc orabout the same 

 time as 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 qualit v 

 IS mferior if it is a few days too old or too young. 



CULTTIPP* '^ ^rm, alluvial soil is best, and immediately before planting, this should be thoroughly worked. Give frequent and 



^ A'v thorough, but shallow cultivation until tassels appear. 



Remember that I prepay charges by the half-pint, pint and quart. Quantities of one-eighth, quarter, half and one 

 bushel or more will be shipped by freight or express at purchaser's expense.
