\ Extra Early or Crosby's Dwarf 



Sugar. This is a very tender variety and 

 of excellent quality. Ears small, but very 

 sweet. It is not so extensively planted as 

 it deserves to be. 



Adam's Extra Early. The earliest 

 kind, but ears are small, and not as desira- 

 ble as the Adam's Early, which follows this 

 variety closely in maturity. 



Adam's Early. This is almost exclu- 

 ' sively 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 gar- 

 deners 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 the market to be sold 

 green. 



Early Sugar or New England. A 



'long eight-rowed variety, which succeeds 

 the Extra Early sorts. Desirable kind. 



! Stowell's Evergreen Sugar. This 

 is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is early, 

 the ears are of large size and are well filled. 

 It remains green longer than any other 

 variety, and is quite productive. The culti- 

 vation of this excellent cereal, as well as all 

 other Sugar Corn, is much neglected, yet 

 why people will plant common field corn 

 for table use, considering size instead of 

 quality, we cannot understand. 



1 Golden Dent Gourd Seed. A field 

 variety which is very productive at the 

 North. It makes a fine corn South, but has 

 to be planted here several years in succes- 

 sion before it attains perfection, as during 

 the first year the ears are not well covered 

 by the husk, which is the case with all 

 Northern varieties. When selected and 

 planted here for a few years it becomes ac- 

 climated and makes an excellent corn, with 

 large, fine ears, grain deep and cob of me- 

 dium size. 



Early Yellow Canada. A long eight- 

 rowed variety, very early, and is planted 

 in both the field and garden. It does well 

 here. 



jl<arge White Flint. A very popu- 

 lar variety with gardeners and amateurs. 

 It is planted here for table use principally, 

 but like the Golden Dent, makes an excel- 

 lent kind for field culture after it has been 

 planted here for two or three years. 



^ First in the Market Sugar Corn. A 



'new variety of Sugar Corn for which we 

 claim to be the earliest in the market. It 

 is fully two weeks earlier than Extra Early 

 Crosby and nearly a week earlier than any 

 corn. It is a good producer, more prolific 

 than Extra Early Crosby's, the ears are 

 somewhat larger and the kernel of a pale, 

 pinkish color, some of the ears run entirely 

 white, while others again are of a deep
