 ears of short, very white, square grain, similar to that of Crosby's Early 

 and of the same splendid quahty. It is an excellent second early sort either 

 for the garden or the canning factory. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c;

 black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quahty. For family 

 use we consider it the most desirable second early sort. It does especially 

 well for second early in the south. Stalk about six feet high. Pkt. 10c;

 Prkii«fi.v riAnflAman This variety has a small, white cob, densely 

 V^OUniry VJieniieinan covered with irregular rows of very long, 

 slender, white grains which are of excellent quality. Stalks from six and 

 one-half to seven feet high. Bv manv it is regarded as the best of the late 

 varieties. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c;' Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.50 

 F*»rrv*«i Farlv Fvf^rcfrt^f^n "^^e have tested many samples of Ever- 



r erry s r.ariy iLvergreen g^.^g^ ^^-^^^^ ^hat were claimed to be 



earlier than Stowell's Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never 

 found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It 

 has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit 

 condition for use much earlier than StowelFs Evergreen and to remain in 

 condition quite as long. The ears are large, with sixteen to twenty more 

 or less irregular rows with very long grain which is of the very best 

 quality. The plants average from six and one-half to seven feet high and 

 in ear resemble those of Stowell's Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we 

 think are more uniform. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c;

^frtXAr/airc Fv^aVCTf^^^sM Tlie standard main crop variety. It is hardy 

 »jlowcii & i-ivcigiccii jj^(j productive, very tender and sugary, re- 

 maining a long time in condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been 

 carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and 

 deterioration in the evergreen character of this best known of all late 

 sorts. Height about seven and one-half feet. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 

 4 Qts. 60c; Bu.$3.50 

 Ma mmnl-ft This variety produces the largest eai's of any sort with which 

 XVldXIllllULli y^,Q g^j.g acquainted. It is of excellent quality, sweet, tender 

 and delicious and its only fault is the immense size of the ear. Plant 

 averages about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; F*t. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c;

CORN SALAD Fettkus, or Lamb's Lettu^ 



This small salad is used during the winter 

 and spring months as a substitute for lettuce and is also cooked and used 

 like spinage. In warm \a eather the plants Avill mature in four to six 

 . weeks. During August and September sow the seed in shallow drills 

 about one foot apart. If the soil is dry it should be firmly pressed over 

 the seed in order to secure prompt germination. On the approach of 

 severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will 

 also do well if the seed is sown very- early in the spring and like most salad 

 plants, are greatly improved if sown on re?-?/ rich soil; indeed, the ground 

 can scarcely be made too rich for them. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 1 5c;
