Early Evergreen 



We have tested many samples 

 of Corn which were claimed to be earlier than StowelFs Evergreen. and j ust 

 as good, but we have never found any of them valuable. For the past fi\ e 

 years we have been developing this variety which we offer with the state- 

 ment, backed by careful tests made both in the trial grounds and m the 

 field, that IT WILL FURNISH EARS FIT FOR USE MUCH 



EARLIER THAN STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. 

 while in size and shape of ear, length of grain, quality and the length of 

 time it will continue in condition for use it excels StowelVs Evergreen. 

 The plant and ear would be pronounced by observers to be a fine stock of 

 the old variety though fit for use one to two weeks earlier.

OLD COLONY. Originated near Plymouth, Mass., about sixty years 

 ago; was lost sight of awhile, revived and sold uoder various names. 

 Stalks about six feet high, usually bearing two large sixteen to twenty-rowed ears, and we are certain that a larger number 

 of marketable ears and a greater weight of corn can be grown from an acre of this sort than from any other kind. The 

 grain is very deep and the sweetest and best of the late varieties. It is fit to use a little earlier than Stowell's Evergreen. A 

 very valuable market sort and one of the best for canners. Pkt. 10c ; Pt. 15c ; Qt. 20c : 4 (^ts. 50c ; Bushel $2.50 



STOWELL S EVERGREEN. The standard main crop variety, and if planted at the same time with earlier kinds, will 

 keep the table su])plied until OetoVjer. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long time in concH- 

 tion suitable for boiling. Our stock has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency t<^ a shorter grain and 

 deterioration in the Evergreen character of this best known of all late sorts. This and ^Mammoth are staniiard late varieties 

 in the South. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 40c; Bushel $2.25 



MAMMOTH. This variety produces the largest ears of any sort %%ith which we are acquainted. It is of excellent quality, 

 sweet, tender and delicious, and its onlj- fault is the immense size of the ear. Pkt. 10c ; Pt. 15c ; Qt. 20c : 4 <^ts. 50c ; Bu. $2. 1 5
