GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



same time as 

 inches long, 8 

 grains. It is a 



pink. The stalks grow larger than the Crosby's, almost 

 as tall as Stowell's Evergreen, and produces two ears each. 

 We consider this variety one of the best, if not the best, of 

 all the Sugar Corns, owing to its earliness, and we would 

 recommend it to all, either for market or family use. 

 ) Best of All Corn. This white corn is the most profit- 

 able variety yet introduced. It is a week later than the 

 Large Adams, but the ears are very large, nearly double 

 the size of Adams, therefore the lateness of bearing is off- 

 set by its extra large size, a quality that is demanded by 

 all our truckers and gardeners. We recommend it very 

 highly. 



v New Ne Plus Ultra or Shoe Peg Sugar Corn. Is 

 some three to five days earlier than Country Gentleman 

 Corn, which is as late as Stowell's Evergreen. It has very 

 small cob, long grain, shape of shoe pegs. It is very sweet 

 and tender and largely used by market men in the large 

 cities of the north. 



< Tuscarora Corn. This Corn, like Adams Early and 

 Extra Early Adams, is a substitute for Sugar Corn. Tus- 

 carora corn has more sugar and sweetness in it than either 

 sort of Adams. The Tuscarora corn comes in use about the 

 the Adams Early, with long ears 8 to 10 

 and 10 rowed, with broad creamy white 

 very pretty corn when in the green state, 

 being white as chalk, It is a fine yielder, 

 never blights, and does not smut. I*t is a 

 strung favorite wherever used by market 

 gardeners or private planters. 



White St. Charles Corn. Our city 

 gardeners' favorite variety. It makes a 

 vigorous stalk, ears as large as the Cham- 

 pion White Pearl and well filled, small red 

 cob. It is the best all round field corn and 

 always gives satisfaction. 



Mexican June Corn. This latest addi- 

 tion to our large and selected list of corns 

 best adapted for theSouth has been thorough- 

 ly tested the past season, and has proved all 

 that was claimed for it. It is the best late 

 corn yet introduced. It is a strong, robust 

 grower, sending the roots deep into the soil. 

 Stands heat and drouth well. Ears large, 

 small grain and well covered with shucks. 

 We recommend Same highly. Should be 

 planted in succession from middle of April 

 to end of July. 



Pop Corn, is one of the smallest vari- 

 eties of kernel or seeds, cultivated^same as 

 Best of All Corn, field or garden corn, but drilled instead of 

 in hills. Very extensively used for pop 

 corn candy. We are handling the
