Stowell’s Evergreen Sugar. 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN SUGAB.— 
This is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is 
early, the ears of large size and are well 
filled. It remains green longer than any 
other variety, and is quite productive. The 
cultivation 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. Recom- 
mended by the Louisiana Agricultural Ex- 
veriment Station for canning. 
SNOWFLAKE WHITE DENT.—Laree 
ear, large cob; very rank and_ strong 
growth—good in all that makes up a big 
white corn. 
FROTSCHER’S ADAMS’ EARLY 
LARGE. — This is almost exclusively 
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 thousands of bushels of 
St. Charles and other varieties of field corn 
to be planted for the market, to be sold 
green. 
BLUNT’S PROLIFIC FIELD.—tThis is a 
very excellent variety, either for field or 
the table, it is very prolific, producing from 
four to six ears of corn. They are medium 
size, but well filled and heavy. It is second 
early. We recommend it as an early yield- 
ing corn for field culture. 
WHITE ROCKDALE.—A Southern varie- 
ty has been planted quite extensively and 
has proven everything that was claimed for 
it. It is the best Southern White Corn in 
cultivation, flintier than the Mosby’s 
Prolific; moderately early; cob small, 
grain deeply dented, of pure white color 
and makes excellent meal. We recommend 
same highly; any one using this corn will 
not be disappointed. 
EXTRA EARLY CROSBY'S DWARF 
SUGAB.—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. 
BUSHNELL’S GATE POST FIELD.— 
This is deep grain, yellow color, medium 
early and a wonderful yielder. One hun- 
dred pounds of ears shelled 90 pounds of 
corn. One of the handsomest corns ever 
grown; recommended for field culture. 
WHITE ST. CHARLES.—Our city egar- 
deners’ favorite variety. It makes a vigor- 
ous stalk, ears are 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. 
EARLY YELLOW CANADA.—A long, 
eight-rowed variety, very early, and is 
planted in both field and garden. It does 
well. 
EARLY SUGAR OR NEW ENGLAND.— 
A long eight-rowed variety, which succeeds 
the Extra Early sorts. Desirable kind. 
BEST OF ALL.—tThis white corn is the 
most profitable variety yet introduced. It 
is a week later than the Large Adams, but 
the ears are large, nearly double the size 
of Adams, therefore the lateness of bearing 
is offset: by its extra large size, a quality 
that is demanded by all our truckers and 
gardeners. We recommend it very highly.
