First=of=All Corn 



FIRST-OF-ALL. One of the Earliest. 



Kiponing earl}-, ears large and of superior quality, 

 sweet and of delicious flavor. Extremely valuable 

 to market gardeners for first early. Per pkt. 5 

 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $3.00. 



EARLY PREMO. It not only combines 



•all the merits of \\\z leading early varieties, but it 

 is also really superior to them in size, quality and 

 yield. Premo can be planted fully as early as the 

 Adams, for the young plants withstand consider- 

 able cold it is claimed, while other varieties are 

 tend'-r and the seeds will rot if planted before 

 the soil becomes warm. The stalks grow about 

 five feet high, and are very vigorous, generally 

 bearing two well developed ears to a stalk. Many 

 favorable reports have been received regarding this 

 variety for the last two years. Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 I't. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. $1.00. 



MAMMOTH WHITE CORY. This strain 

 is as early as the original Cory. The ears are 12- 

 rowed, much larger in size, white cobbed. No 

 other Sweet Corn will find ready sale, as this is 

 king of the market, for no other variety can com- 

 pete with it as an extra early, and thus the mar- 

 ket gardener who raises it monopolizes the cream 

 of the early trade. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., 

 qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $2,75. 



EARLY CHAMPION. The earliest large 

 Swcet Com. Produces ears ten inches long in 60 

 days. This variety is, without question, the ear- 

 liest large Sweet Corn yet introduced, being only 

 a few days later than the first early gmall sorts. 

 Ears nearly as large as the Mammoth twelve- 

 rowed; pure white kernels, with medium sized 

 white cob; very sweet, tender and full of milk, 

 yielding from two to three ears to the stalk. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., 

 bu. $2.75. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. This varie- 

 ty is more largely planted than any other, being 

 the general favorite with canners and market gar- 

 deners for late use. It is very productive, the 

 eaits are of large size, grains deep, exceptionally 

 tender and sugary, and remain for a long time in 

 an edible condition. This variety is necessary to 

 every garden. Our stock is very fine and specially 

 recommended. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt, 20 cts., qt. 35 

 cts.. pk, 75 cts., bu. $2.75.

Nonesuch Sweet Corn 



NONE SUCH SUGAR. This variety is 

 one of the Finest Sweet Corns in cultivation. It 

 will please a lover of delicious, meaty Sweet Corn, 

 and will suit the most exacting customer. Medium 

 early, coming in after the second earlies, of extra 

 strong growth, stalks and cobs of a beautiful pink 

 color, grain white, ears large, twelve to fourteen 

 rowed; wonderfully productive. Per. pkt. 5 cts.,

METROPOLITAN SUGAR. This fine var- 

 iety is a lai-ge eared early corn coming a few 

 daj's after the first earlies. The plant grows strong 

 and vigorous, about 5 feet in height, ears are 

 set low, producing from two to three to the plant. 

 They averaga about 9 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, 

 w^cll filled to the tip with large deep grains, which 

 are exceedingly white, sweet and very tender. It 

 is not merely sweet, but possesses that exquisite 

 richness of the later sorts. It is practically free 

 from smut and with a thick husk which is an ex- 

 cellent protection from worms, or in shipping to 

 markets. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts,, qt. 35 cts., 

 pk. 75 cts., bu. $3.00. 



EARLY EVERGREEN. This variety is a 

 selection from the Stowell's Evergreen. A Michigan 

 grower has for yeai-s repeatedly made selectioJis 

 lor earliness and the result is the "Eai'ly Ever- 

 green." It possesses every good quality of Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen and resembling it in every respect, 

 except that the stalk is about one foot shorter, 

 more closely joined, and that it will mature fully 

 10 days earlier. It is a splendid variety to come 

 in between the early and the late sorts. There is 

 no better variety than the Early Evergreen for 

 the market gardener who wishes to get the cream 

 of the trade. It will no doubt become a popular 

 variety. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt, 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., 

 pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.75. 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. This excellent 

 variety is regarded as the sweetest corn grown. It 

 is pre-eminently an epicure variety, being the 

 sweetest and most tender of all. The ears are 

 medium, cob small, kernels of extraordinary depth, 

 pearly whiteness. It is very productive, bear- 

 ing from two to four ears on the stalk. It matures 

 medium to late. Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 

 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., bu. $3.00. 



MAMMOTH SUGAR. This produces the 

 largest ears of any Sweet Corn; quality very 

 sweet and luscious It ripens a little later than 

 the Evergreen and the cobs are larger, the kernels 

 being flatter. Largely used by market gardeners. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., pk. 75 cts., 

 bu. $2.75.
