PLANT FOR "EXTRA EARLY" SWEET CORN 



WHITE COB CORY. 



An extremely early variety, usually fit to use in from fifty to 

 sixty days from planting. It is not only the earliest, but is 

 one of the sweetest and best. It is a sport or selection from 

 the famous Red Cob Cory, which for years held popular favor 

 as the best first early. White Cob Cory retains all of the good 

 qualities of its parent, with the added merits of having a white 

 cob and white kernels, free from the objectionable reddish tinge 

 that sometimes occurred in the red cob variety. The plants 

 are dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be closely planted; usu- 

 ally two ears are borne on a stalk. It is not only the best first 

 early sweet corn, but it is valuable to plant late in summer for 

 autumn use. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk. 



PLANT FOR "MEDIUM EARLY" SWEET CORN 



Henderson's HIAWATHA. 



Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the pro- 

 nounced merits of our new Hiawatha Sugar-Sweet Corn. 



The ears, about eight inches long, are compactly filled with 

 long, plump, pearly-white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy 

 and sweet as to literally "melt in your mouth." Another valu- 

 able feature is the length of time the ears remain "in the milk," 

 the thick husk giving splendid protection. The plant grows 

 about five feet high, bearing no less than two ears to a stalk 

 and frequently three ears, all very uniform in shape and size. 

 It is very early, being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks 

 from planting, or only a few days later than the very earliest 

 variety grown. A perfect corn for the home table. {See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 pk. 



"Hiawatha is our finest sweet corn this season." 



E. H. LOCKWOOD, Edgewood. R. I. 

 "Your Sweet Corn Hiawatha was delirious, the finest I ever grew" 



ROBERT SIMPSON, Vineland, X. J. 



PLANT FOR "MIDSEASON" SWEET CORN 



THE "HENDERSON." 



This ideal corn is ready for the table about two weeks before 

 the latest sorts. The "Henderson" Corn produces uniformly 

 large, thick ears, averaging twelve inches in length, being com- 

 pactly filled from butt to tip with long milky white kernels of 

 luscious tenderness. . The toothsome quality is retained for a 

 much longer time than with most corns. The plants are luxur- 

 iant, healthy growers, and wonderfully prolific. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk. 



PLANT FOR "LATE" SWEET CORN 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. 



Now recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for 

 home use and market, and is the general favorite. The ears are 

 of a large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and 

 have the advantage of remaining longer in the green state than 

 any other. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 pk.
