Adams' Extra Early. The earliest kind, 

 but ears are small and not as desirable 

 as the Adam's Early, which follows this 

 variety closely in maturity. 



Frotscher's Adams' Early Large. This 

 is almost exclusively planted for the first 

 roasting ears by the market gardeners. 

 The ears are of good size, but otherwise 

 for the table only same as common corn. 

 Strange to say, the gardeners do not 

 plant any sugar corn for the market. We 

 sell hundreds of bushels of St. Charles 

 and other varieties of field corn to be 

 planted for t^e market, to be sold green.

Best of All. 



Early Sugar or New England. A long 

 eight-rowed variety, which succeeds the 

 Extra Early sorts. Desirable kind. 



Best of All. This white corn is the 

 most most profitable variety yet intro- 

 duced. It is a week later than the Large 

 Adams, but the ears are very large, 

 nearly double the size of Adams, there- 

 fore the lateness of bearing is offset by 

 Its extra large size, a quality that is 

 demanded by all our truckers and 

 gardeners. We recommend it very highly. 



Golden Beauty. This is the hand- 

 somest of all yellow corn; the ears are 

 of a perfect shape, long, and filled out 

 to the end of the cob. The grains are 

 not of a flinty type, neither are they so 

 soft as to be greatly shriveled, as in the 

 Golden Dent. Golden Beauty matures 



early, ripening in eighty days from 

 planting, and surpasses all in size and 

 beauty of grain. 



Hickory King. 



Hickory King. This field corn has 

 come into general cultivation. It has 

 proven itself all that is claimed for it 

 and is the largest grained and smallest 

 cobbed Pure White Dent Corn in the 

 world. It is early, the ears are from 

 seven to nine inches in length, and are 

 generally borne from three to five on a 

 stalk, making it very productive. The 

 ears are well covered by the shucks, a 

 great consideration in field corn planted 

 in the South.
