 _, > C 1 C* ^^'® have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that were claimed to be earlier than 



rerry S tiarly Hvergreen Stowell's Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found any of them so 



valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit 



condition for use much earlier than Stowell's Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven to seven 



and one-half inches long, with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best 



quality. Plants about six and one-half to seven feet high. A standard main crop 



variety for home garden and market; also well adapted for canning. Pkt. 10c;

CORN SALAD— Fetticus or Lamb's Lettuce 



A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The leaves 

 are used as a substitute for lettuce ami spinach. 



During August and September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, 

 covering with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. On the ap- 

 proach of severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will also 

 do well if the seed is sown very early in the spring and like most salad plants, are 

 greatly improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcely be made 

 too rich for them. The seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from much 

 that appears on the market. Pkl. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 1 5c; V4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c.
