Sweet or SuLgsir Com. 



(Waij.) 



HIS delicious vegetable may be enjoyed 

 from early summer until frost if the 

 proper varieties are selected and planted 

 for succession at intervals of every 2 

 weeks from May until the middle of July. 

 If the seed is planted too early, before White Cory. 



the ground becomes warm, it is liable 



to decay. Plant in hills 3 or 4 feet apart each way, 5 or 6 kernels to a 

 hill ; or, in rows 4 or 5 feet apart, scattering the seeds thinly in the rows. 

 The taller-growing the variety, the richer should be the soil and the 

 wider the space allowed for development. 

 For Sweet Corn sent by mail, add 10 cts. per quart for postagre. 



EARLY VARIETIES. 



CORT. The earliest variety in cultivation ; 3 or 4 days earlier than Marblehead, from which 

 it i^- a choice selection, and which it resembles in many ways. The stalks are short, with 

 ^'rs set quite low, and may stand only 7% feet apart ; the ears are of good size and well- 

 filled with large, yellowish grains. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. $1.25. 



„, RLY WHITE CORY. Identical with the above except in color, grains and cob being 



^_jf pure white in this sort, thus removing an objection which has sometimes been made to the 

 . Cory. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. Si. 25. 

 fi<BXTRA EARLY ADAMS. Although not properly 

 a Sugar Corn, this is much grown for table u^e because of its extreme earliness. The plants 

 are rather dwarf, with no suckers and few tassels. The ears are short, but of good size for so 

 early a variety, and well filled with smooth, white grains. Pkt. 5 cts. oz. 10 cts. qt. 20 cts.. 

 pk. Si. 25. 



JiARLY MINNESOTA. Ready for use a few days later than Adams. The ears are long, eight- 

 y/rowed, and filled with broad, sweet grains ; the stalks are short, and usually bear 2 or 3 good 

 -ears apiece. This is an old and deservedly popular market sort, succeedingly well in general

 PERRY'S HYBRID

 y more fine ears each. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. $1.25. 



EARIiY CROSBY. This is the variety which gave Maine its reputation for such fine Sweet 

 Corn. Ears of medium length, good size, twelve-rowed, filled with thick, sweet grains: but 

 , little later than Minnesota. The stalks are productive, vigorous and hardy, seeming from 

 / reports to succeed well in all sections. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. $1.25. 

 'STABLER EARLY. Very popular among truckers, and also desirable for private gardens 

 and canning. The ears mature for use medium earl)', and are larger than in the majoritv of 

 early kinds ; they are remarkably sweet and tender, remaining so for a long time, and shrmk- 

 ing but little in drying. A very productive variety, and one of the best early sorts of Sweet 

 Corn. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. $1.25. 

 RUSSELL'S PROLIFIC. Extensively grown by our local market-gardeners, and almost as 

 early as the Concord. The ears are large, well-shaped and fillled, and of the very best 

 y quality ; the stalks perfect 2 or more good ears each ; an exceedingly valuable early variety. 

 / Pkt. 5'cts., pt. 10 cts., cit. 20 cts., pk. $1.25. 



SHAKER EARLY. A very productive and early variety, much favored by market gardeners 

 because its fine, large ears can be marketed at a time 

 . when tlie only othersortsto be had are small and in- 

 ferior, so that ears of the Shaker Corn bring a pre- 

 mium of from 5 to 10 cents per 

 dozen. They mature nearly as 

 early as Minnesota, and are larger, 

 each one being filled to the tip 

 with largi sweet, white grains. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20cts., 

 pk. $1.25.

 garden: Perry's Hybrid for early, 

 Russell's Prolific for medium, and 

 Evergreen for late.
