EXTRA EARLY ADAMS.— 



this is not a sweet corn but is planted by a large 

 number of gardeners who want the first corn that goes 

 to market regardless of (luality. It is decidedly more 

 hardy than any variety of sweet corn and for that 

 reason it is used for the first planting. The grains 

 are li'Uder and white, and the ears present a fair and 

 attractive appearance. This, together with its ex- 

 treme hardiness makes it in great demand hy truckers 

 and uuirl:-et gardeners. The eating quality, however, 

 is not as .iiood as that of the true sweet corn. Pkt.

F CUCUMBERS 



^..i^?'" * number of years we have been grlwing cu- 

 cumbers largely for market, shipping manv^r foads 

 in the slicing state to New York BSston "^ Bein^ 

 thu.s interested in cucumbers I have been^snecfaUv

PENINSULA PRIZE.— Last year in itscribin- 

 this cucumber. I made the statement that iFwas he 

 best early market cucumber on Jt»asiuc 



earth, and I believe the state- 

 ment is entirely correct. It will 

 remain perfectly green for a 

 month after being picked. If you 

 do not believe this, try it. I have 

 been growing this "variety for 

 market for a number of "years 

 and it has given excellent le 

 suits every time. They are viuoi 

 ous, fine quality, uniform in si^e, 

 very productive, and in everv 

 way <). K. This is the va- 

 riety that I grow largelv for 

 market, having shipped about 

 5000 barrels the past season. It 

 always brings the top of the mar- 

 ket, and is a variety that market 

 gardeners can safely tie to. I 



shall plant in the neighborhood of 40 acres of this 

 variety alone next spring. The crop of seed is some- 

 what short : this together with our heavy demand for 

 this variety necessitates making the price a little 

 steep. We are not expecting to have enough seed of 

 this variety to fill all the orders we get, and we advise 

 all those wanting this variety to order early. I'kt.
