 will please a lover of delicious, meaty Sweet Corn, 

 and will suit the most exacting customer. Medium 

 early, coming in after the second carlies, of extra 

 strong growth, stalks and cobs of a beautiful pink 

 color, grain white, ears large, twelve to fourteen

 iety is a large eared early corn coming a few 

 days after the first carlies. The plant grows strong 

 and vigorous, about 5 feet in height, ears are 

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

 well filled to the tip with large deep grains, which

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

EARLY EVERGREEN. This variety is a 



selection from the Stowell's Evergreen. A Michigan 

 grower has for years repeatedly made selections 

 for earliness and the result is the "Early 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. 81.00: bu. 83.50.

 dance of milk. It has the great merit of being so 

 sweet and palatable that cattle eat every part of 

 the stalks and leaves. Also excellent for soiling.
