Gillespie's I ir«i Earl] Neck Corn. For more than twenty years we 



have placed this corn in the hands of the largest truckers and market gardeners 



over the ie same have very materially 



increased. It has always proven in their hands to be the Very First Corn 



that they can bring to market. It is so hardy that it can readily be planted 



as soon as the ground is in good working order, and will, from the day of its 



germination, hurry forward to meet the early demand for fresh corn, which 



is always very keen, and causes this delicious, attractive and superior corn to 



-jfitable prices. Ear, 3c; dozen ears, 25c; packet, 5c; pt., 10c; qt., 



15c; gal., 30c; pk., 60c; bush., $2.00. 



Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. One of the sweetest corns grown. It is a 

 dwarf medium early variety of exceptionally good quality. In all respects it 

 is a gem — in size of plant, ear and grain. It is particularly well adapted to 

 small gardens, on account of its small size; to the more pretentious on account 

 of its excessive cropping ability on a given area, and to all because of its 

 superb quality and luscious satisfying flavor. It may be planted to advantage 

 in hills three feet apart, each way. If in rows, they should be three feet apart 

 and the plants standing singly at nine inch intervals. It is probably the 

 best to use where only one sort is planted, for it succeeds admirably under all 

 conditions. Price, pt., 15c; qt., 25c; gal., 65c; pk., $1.25.; bu., $4.50. 



Adam's Extra Early. Largely grown for early market. Ear, 3c; dozen

 gal., 40c; pk., 65c; bush. ,'$2. 50. 



Peep-o-Day. The two points to this remarkable Corn are its extraordinary earliness and unparalleled sweetness. So 

 marked is its sweetness and delicacy of flavor that many of our customers plant Peep-o-Day exclusively, arranging the 

 plantings a few days apart so as to have this delicious Corn throughout the season. It is wonderfully productive. Our 

 crops for three years almost double the yield per acre of any other variety we have grown, early or late. Incredible as 

 this mav seem, it is readilv accounted for by the fact that the stalks bear from 3 to 5 ears each and the growth being 

 dwarf—about 4 feet — admits of a very close planting. Prices: pt., 15c; qt., 20c; 4 qts., 45c; pk., 85c; bu., $3.00. 

 Premo. Extra-early; very large ears; fine quality. Pt., 10c; qt., 20c; gal., 40c; pk., 75c; bush., $2.50.

 qt., 15c; gal., 50c; pk., 75c; bush., $2.50. 



Kendel's Earlv Giant. Very early for so large-eared a sort; fine quality. 40c per doz.; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; gal., 45c; 

 pk., 90c; bush., $3.50. 



Extra Early Evergreen. For many years the Stowell's Evergreen has been the most popular sweet corn. A 

 grower knowing this has repeatedly made selections for earliness, and the result is the "Extra Early Evergreen." It 

 ripens about ten days earlier and produces ears a trifle shorter than the Stowell's, but the quality is equally as good. 

 It is a splendid variety to come in between the early and late sorts, and is destined to become as popular as the Stowell'i 

 Evergreen. Pt., 10c; qt., 20c; gal., 50c; pk., 90c; bush., $3.50. 



Early Mammoth Sugar Corn. Sweet, delicate flavor, producing a large ear and a small-sized cob, which fills out to 

 the end perfectly. Pt., 10c; qt., 15c; gal., 50c; pk., 80c; bush., $3.00; per doz., 40c. 



Stabler's Pedigree. Grains deep, straight rowed and sweet; bears two handsome ears to the stalk; a few days later 

 than Stabler's Early. Pt., 10c; qt., 15c; gal., 50c; pk., 75c; bush., $2.50; per doz., 40c 



White Evergreen Corn. The most valuable sweet corn for main crop. It has the ideal qualities of the Stowell's 

 Evergreen Corn, only it is pure white, making it the most desirable corn for market and home gardeners. Pt., 10c; qt., 

 20c; gal., 50c; pk., 90c; bush., $3.00. 



Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. The deep shoe-peg kernels are placed irregularly, but compactly upon the 

 cob. It is very prolific, generally bearing three to five ears to the stalk, and matures a little before Stowell's Evergreen, 

 being sweeter and more sugary to the taste even than that well-known standard of quality. Pt., 10c; qt., 20c; gal., 60c; 

 pk., $1.00; bush., $3.50.
