CORN. —Continued. 



Red Cob Evergreen. (Hender- 

 son.) A sport from the Stowell's which 

 has long been a standard and favorite 

 in all parts of the country-. It is des- 

 tined to eclipse in popularity its famous 

 parent, being a week to ten days earlier 

 and enormously productive, bearing 

 three to four ears to a stalk. The ears 

 are set low on the stalks, and are very 

 thick and regular in size; 16 rowed; 

 very deep, and of the most delicious 

 quality, remaining tender and _ milky 

 for a long time. This variety is very 

 distinct in the dry state, both kernel 

 and cob being of a deep red- color. ^jPer 

 packet, 15 cts.; eight for SI -00. 



Russel's Prolific. Grown largely 

 by our local market men; closely fol- 

 lowing the Concord in maturity; ^ears 

 large and of good shape; quality the 

 best. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 20 cts.; pk.,

 the former in size, earliness and other 

 1 respects; ears are, however, somewhat 

 more pointed. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 20 

 cts.; pk., 1 25.

 marketing; ears twelve rowed, large, handsome and

 20 cts.; pk., $1.25.. 



Old Colony. An exceedingly sweet and pro- 

 ductive variety, averaging three ears on every stalk. 

 The ears are of large size and always well filled. It 

 ripens about the same time as Moore's Concord, 

 perhaps a little later. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 20 cts.; 

 pk., $1.25. 



Honey Sweet. A very sweet variety. The 

 husks and stalks are of a deep red color. The corn 

 is cream white, much shriveled when dry. Grain

Asylum Sugar. A large, late variety of su- 

 perior quality. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt, 20 cts.; pk., $1.25. 

 g| Black Mexican. Considered by many the 

 most sugary and richest flavored of all corns; grains 

 bluish black in color, and on this account somewhat 

 objectionable. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 20 cts.; pk., $1.25. 



Egyptian or Washington Market. Ears of 

 a large size, very sweet, and of a peculiarly rich 

 flavor. The stalks grow eight feet high, and ears

 cts.; pk., $1.25.

 remains a long time in fit condition for table use. Pkt., 5 cts ; qt., 20 cts., pk., $1.25. 



Late Mammoth Sugar. This produces larger ears than any other sweet corn we have, single ears at times attaining 

 a weight of two and three pounds. Quality very good. It ripens a little later than the Evergreen. The cobs are large 

 and the grains flatter. Pkt, 5 cts.; qt., 20 cts.; pk., $l.z5.

 of which is said to be finer than Stowell's Evergreen. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt, 20 cts.; pk., $1.25.
