Mammoth White Cory Corn 



We consider this unquestionably the best extra early corn. 

 The ears are very large for so early a variety. The stalks are 

 about four feet high, each usually bearing two finely shaped 

 ears which become fit for use as early as those of any variety in 

 cultivation. They are twelve rowed, six to seven inches long, 

 very symmetrical and handsome, seldom with any opening be- 

 tween the rows at the base. Grain large, broad, very white and 

 of remarkably good quality for such an early sort. The size and 

 beauty of this variety give it ready sale even when the market 

 is overstocked. {See cat on this page and further description,

White Malakhof Corn 



A handsome, very early sweet corn of splendid quality. The 

 stalks are about four feet high. The ears are about five inches 

 long, twelve rowed, slender but with very small cob which is 

 well filled with small, deep, sweet and tender grains. It follows 

 closely Mammoth White Cory in time of maturing. This varie- 

 ty was developed by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture through selection of the white grained 

 ears of the Malakhof and differs from the original stock in be- 

 ing much more uniform in shape and character of both ear and 

 grain, decidedly earlier and of better quality. {See cut, page 30)

White Mexican Corn 



This is a comparatively new early sweet corn of very rich 

 /favor. Stalks about four and one-half feet high. Ears about 

 eight inches long, usually eight rowed; matures earlier than 

 Black Mexican and is of better quality than any other early va- 

 riety of equally large size. The variety as offered by us is far 

 superior to much that has been sold under this name. Pkt. 10c; 



Pt. 25c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bu. $7.00 



If corn is ordered by mail or express 



prepaid add 10 cents per pint, 15 



cents per quart for charges. 



Klondike 



Klondike Cucumber 



Market growers have of late 

 years found an increasing demand 

 for an ideal slicing cucumber and 

 they have been seeking a variety 

 which would grow to a suitable 

 size for shipping without turning 

 a very light green color as do 

 many varieties of excellent quali- 

 ty. Klondike is a recent de- 

 velopment which seems to an- 

 swer fully all the requirements of 

 an ideal slicing cucumber. It is 

 a medium early, white spined cu- 

 cumber of handsome, very dark 

 green color and of excellent quali- 

 ty. Vines very hardy and pro- 

 ductive. Fruits when mature 

 about eight inches long, uniform 

 in size and shape. The dark 

 green color is retained much longer and is affected less by the hot sun 

 than any other sort with which we are familiar. {See cut on this page

Snow's Pickling Cucumber 



Pickle factories are very exacting in their requirements for a bottle 

 pickle and of late in the various growing districts one strain has been 

 rapidly succeeded by another in popular favor. Snow's Pickling is a 

 variety used exclusively by many large factories and the call for it led us 

 to make careful trials and then grow a very fine lot of stock seed pro- 

 cured from the originator. It is an early maturing, very small, dark 

 green cucumber, cylindrical and square ended, and we believe meets in 

 all respects the requirements of those who want an ideal bottle pickle.
