3[ais, Fr. Maiz, Span. Welschkorn, Ger. 

 Adam's Extra Early, per qt. 30 ct3. E. Isl. Asylum Sweet, per qt. 40 

 Extra Early Sugar, " 30 " Tuscarora, 30 cts. 



Large Sweet, OR Sugar, " 30 " Stowell's Evergreen, 25 " 



Plant about first week in May and at intervals. The above va- 

 rieties are the best for table use. Adam's Early, is the hardiest, 

 and can be planted about the middle of April, and is the first corn that 

 appears in the market, but cannot compare with the Sugar, or the 

 Evergreen, which are, without question, the best for culinary purposes. 



The Sugar Corn being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should 

 not be planted until May, and for a succession, continue planting every 

 two weeks, until the middle of July, in well-manured ground, in hills 

 three feet apart. 



OEESS, per oz. 10 cts. 



Cresson, Fr. Alenou Mastuerzo, Span. Garten Kresse, Ger. 



Curled, or Pepper Grass. Broad Leaved Garden. 



True Water Cress, per oz. 50 cts. 



Used as a small salad. Sow at intervals throughout the season. 



The Water Cress requires a stream of running water, in which it will 



grow without care, except keeping at first weeds from interfering 



with it. 



CUCUMBER. 



Concomhre, Fr. Cohomhro, Span. Gurken, Ger. 

 Early Russian, per oz. 30 cts. Large Early Market, per oz. 25 cts. 

 Early Frame, " 25 " Long Green Turkey, " 30 " 



Early White-spined, 25 " Gherkin, or Burr, " 50 " 



The first four are the earliest and most esteemed table varieties. 



The White-Spined retains its green color much longer than any 

 other variety, and is principally grown for our markets. The Long 

 Green and Gherkin are mostly used for pickles. For early use, plant 

 about first week in May, on a warm and sheltered border. For pickles 

 plant in the middle of July.
