CORN, SWEET OR SUGAR. (Zucker Welshkorn.) 



Sugar com is very susceptible to wet or cold, and should not be planted 

 headway and is very liable to rot; plant in hills from three to four feet apart each way, or in rows four to five feet apart and eight to tweh 



itil the: 



has become quite warm; if planted too early it makes no 

 - , -r in rows four to five feet apart and eight to twelve inches 



m the row; the taller the variety and the richer the soil the more space it requires. For a succession of crops, continue planting at intervals of 

 every two weeks until the middle of July, which will supply you with a continuous crop of good roasting ears until frost. 

 If by Mail, add postage at the rate of ten cents per quart. 



Cory. (New). The ear- 

 liest variety yet introduced, 

 it resembles the Marblehead, 

 from which it originates, but 

 is even earlier; the stalks are 

 short and the ears are very 

 low down, and it can be 

 planted 2 J feet apart; it is 

 ready for use three or four 

 days earlier than Marble- 

 head. Pkt. 5 cts. ; qt. 20 cts. ; 

 pk. $1.25. 



Early White Cory. In 

 all respects identical with 

 the above except in color,

 to the Cory on account of its color. Pkt. 5 cts. ; qt 30 cts. ; 

 pk. 51.90.

 a height of six feet bearing from 

 two to three large ears, will fill out 

 to the tips of the cob; the kernels 

 are large, of pearly whiteness and 

 of delicious flavor. It is especially 

 desirable for marketmen, its earli- 

 ness great productiveness and large-

 highly desirable. Pkt 5 cts.; qt 20 cts.; pk. $1.25.
