Crosby's, the ears are somewhat larger and the kernel of a 

 pale, pinkish color, some of the ears run entirely white, while 

 others again are of a deep pink. The stalks grow larger 

 than the Crosby's, almost as tall as Stowell's Evergreen, 

 and produces two ears each. We consider this variety one 

 of the best, if not the best, of all the Sugar Corns, owing 

 to its earliness, and we would recommend it to all, either 

 for market or family use. 



Best of All. This white corn is the most profitable 

 variety yet introduced. It is a week later than the Large 

 Adams, but the ears are very large, nearly double the 

 size of Adams, therefore the lateness of bearing is offset 

 by its extra large size, a quality that is demanded by 

 all our truckers and gardeners. We recommend it very 

 highly. 



New Ne Plus Ultra or Shoe Peg Sugar. Is some 

 three to five days earlier than Country Gentleman Corn, 

 which is as late as Stowell's Evergreen. It has very small 

 cob, long grain, shape of shoe pegs. It is very sweet and 

 tender and largely used by market men in the large cities 

 of this country. 



Tuscarora. This Corn, like Frotscher's Adams Early 

 and Extra Early Adams, is a substitute for Sugar Corn. 

 Tuscarora Corn has more sugar and sweetness in it than 

 either sort of Adams. The Tuscarora Corn comes in use 

 about the same time as the Frotscher's Adams Early, with 

 ears 8 to 10 inches long, 8 and 10 rowed, with broad creamy 

 •white grains. It is a very pretty corn when in the green 

 state, being white as chalk. It is a fine yielder, never 

 blights, and does not smut. It is a strong favorite wherever 

 used by market gardeners or private planters. 



French Market Corn. A white variety about one 

 ■week later than Large Adams: it comes between Large 

 Adams and White St. Charles; well filled, large ear. 

 Recommended highly for family use, and used largely by 

 market gardeners here. 



Country Gentleman. A remarkably satisfactory and 

 delicious Corn for family use. The ears are good sized 

 and produced in great abundance, many stalks bearing 

 four plump ears. It's long, small, milky kernels, are full 

 of sweetness; and as the cob is small, and the corn white 

 and tender, it is sure to please. 



Golden Dent Gourd Seed. A field variety which is 

 Tery productive at the North. It makes a fine corn South, 

 but has to be planted here several years in succession 

 before it attains perfection, as during the first year the 

 ears are not well covered by the husk, which is the case 

 ■with all Northern varieties. W^hen selected and planted 

 here for a few years, it becomes acclimated and makes an 

 excellent Corn, with large, fine ears, grain deep and cob of 

 medium size. 



Early Yellow Canada. A long eight-rowed variety, 



very early, and is planted in both the field and garden. It does well here. 



Large White Flint. A very popular variety with gardeners and 



amateurs. It is planted here for t^ble use principally, but like the 



Golden Dent, makes an excellent 



Hickory King Corn.

Golden Beauty Corn. 



kind for field culture after it has 

 been planted here for two or three 

 years. 



White St. Charles. Our city 

 gardeners' favorite variety. It 

 makes a vigorous stalk, ears as 

 large as the Champion White 

 Pearl and well filled, small red 

 cob. It is the best all round
