SWEET GORN. 



PREnO.— This is claimed to be the earliest 

 sweet corn grown, even earlier than the Extra 

 Early Adams. No corn introduced seems ever to 

 have givoa such general satisfaction as this after 

 a few years' growth. It is acknowledged by ex- 

 pert corn growers to be earlier than any "pure 

 sweet corii under culfi v'atiun. It not only com- 

 bined a!v tne merits of ~v.l lidding early varieties, 

 but is also really superior to them all in size and 

 yield. Pi-emu can be planted just as early as the 

 Extra Early Adams, for the young plants will 

 stand slight frosts, while other varieties are ten- 

 der, and the socd will nut rot after planting be-

fore the soil becomes warm. The stalks 

 grow about five feet high and are very vig- 

 orous, generally bearing two well- developed ears to the sta'k.

STOWELL'S EVERGREEN.— Except for first early, there is 

 perhaps nothing grown on the market today that will begin to 

 equal Stowell's Evergreen. It is the best for second early, mid- 

 season or late, and there is perhaps three times as mnch of this 

 variety planted as of all others combined. Every market gar- 

 dener and every private gardener in the land knows this grand 

 Jold sweet corn. It is iu high esteem for main crop or late use, 

 being in special favor with truckers and canners. My stock or 

 \this variety is very fine, and customers speak of it thus : — 



John Nekirk, of Ohio, says: "Your Stowell's Evergreen 

 (sweet corn was very fine." John B. Nunn, of Virginia, writes: 

 "Your Stowell's Evergreen corn I bought of you last year did 

 real well " An Ohio customer says: "The Stowell's Evorgretn 

 corn I bought of you last spring can't be beat " 



If you plan' sweet corn for homo use or for market, you 

 should plant a little Premo to supply the table for a few dajs 

 until the Stowell's Evergreen comes on, and plant all the rest 

 Stowell's Evergreen, and you will make no mistake. I am only 

 oft. ring Premo and Stowell's Evergreen this season, believing 

 that I best serve my customers by doing so. Price: pkt. lie; 

 pt. 20c: qt. 30c, postpaid. By express or freight, pk. 90c; half bu. 

 $1.65; bu. $3.75.

 South Jersey with a very 

 prominent trucker. It. is an
