The Leading: Sweet or Sugar Coros. 



(SWEET or SUGAR.) 



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 {Vkite Cory. 



the ground becomes warm, it is liable 



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

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

 rows. The taller-growing the variety, the richer should be the soil 

 the wider the space allowed for development. 

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



EARLY VARIETIES. 



i:XTB,A EAKI.Y ADAMS. Although not a Sugar Cc 



thii 



Russell's Prolific 



_ is much grown for table use 



because of its extreme earliness. The plants are rather dwarf, with Tio 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. $1.25.

 may stand only 2K feet apart ; the ears are of good size and well-filled with large, yellowish 



/grains. Pkt. 5c., pt. loc, qt. 20c., pk. $1.25. 

 FIRST OP ALL. Said to be ready for the table 

 / Irom three days to a week earlier than the Cory. In habit of growth, similar to the Cory 

 / but dwarfer; should be extremely valuable to market men. Pkt. 5c., pt. loc, qt. 20c., pk.S1.25 

 YEABiLT white CORY. Identical with Cory, except in color, grains and cob being pure 

 white in this sort, thus removing an objection which has sometimes been made to Cory. 

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

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

 ' 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, succeeding well in general 

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

 l^ERRY'S HYBRID. A valuable early market variety. The ears are larger than Minnesota,

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



' STABLER EARLY. Very popular among truckers, and also desirable for private gardens 1 



and canning. The ears mature for use medium early, and are larger than in the majority of ^ 

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

 y 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. 

 I^EARLY CROSBY. Ears of medium length, good size, twelve-rowed, filled with thick, sweet

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

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

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

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

 ^^LARE'S NONESUCH. A new variety that will be 

 sure to please; comes in just after Concord, with 

 larger ears. The leaves, stalk and cob are of a rich 

 pink color, while the grain is white tinted to pink at 

 the rob end ; shows no sign of glaze or flint, and is 

 / sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c., pt. loc, qt. 20c., pk. S1.25.
