1/<1^0AVELL EVERGREEN. A splendid old standard main- 

 crop variet}', grown more generally and on a larger scale than any 

 other sort. The ears are large, with deep, tender, sugary grains, 

 and rernain fit for use longer after maturity than those of any other 

 Sweet-Corn. This is a very productive and hardy variety, adapt- 

 able^either as an early or late sort, and fine for private gardens, 

 ma^et and canning. It holds its own beside all newer sorts.

 its ears, which frequently weigh from 2 to 3 pounds; the cobs are 

 large, the grains flat, the quality very good. This is a very pro- 

 ductive variety, and matures its ears a little later than Stowell

 pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. 90 cts. 



.K^EGYPTIAN. This variety, also, has ears remarkable for size, 

 as well as for sweetness and richness of flavor. The stalks grow 

 about 8 feet tall, and bear from 2 to 4 ears each, high above the 

 grotind. A very popular sort, extensively used for canning, home 

 use and market, and not likely to be superseded by any new varie- 

 ties. Pkt. 5 cts., pt. 10 cts., qt. 20 cts., pk. 90 cts. 



J^^To have sweet and tender ears of any variety they should be 

 picked for use in just the 

 right condition, when the 

 skin of the grain breaks at 

 the slightest pressure. The 

 quality of any Sweet Corn 

 is inferior if the ears are 

 a few days too old or too
