 Dl 1 \H ' ^his corn, when in condition for the table, cooks 



OiaCK lVleXlCa.Il remai'kably white, but the ripe grain is black or bluish 

 black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness and fine quality. For family 

 use we consider it the most desirable second early sort. It does especially 

 well for second early in the south. Stalk about six and one-half feet high; 

 ears about eight inches long. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 

 f* f* | This variety has a small, white cob, densely 



L^Olintry Lxentleman covered with irregular rows of very long slen- 

 der, white grains of excellent quality. Ears seven to nine inches long; stalks 

 from six and one-half to seven feet high. Well adapted for canning as well 

 as the home garden and market and by many it is regarded as the best of 

 the late varieties. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $5.00 

 T? f l? 1 r We have tested many samples of Ever- 



T erry S iLarly Hvergreen green corn that were claimed to be earlier 

 than Sto well's Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found 

 any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been 

 proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit condition 

 for use much earlier than Stowell's Evergreen and to remain in condition 

 quite as long. Ears about seven inches long, with sixteen to twenty more or 

 less irregular rows with very deep grain which is of the very best quality. 

 Plants average from six and one-half to seven feet high and in ear resemble 

 those of StowelFs Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more 

 uniform. A standard main crop variety for home garden and market; also 

 well adapted for canning. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.75 

 Oj. ll> C* Tne standard main crop variety, much used 



OtOWell S tvergreen for the home garden, market and canning. It 

 is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long time in 

 condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been carefully grown and 

 selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration in the 

 evergreen character of this best known of all late sorts. Ears about eight 

 inches long, sixteen to twenty rowed; stalks about seven and one-half feet 

 high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.25 

 * m .1 A rather late variety, but producing the largest ears of any 



IViammOtn sort with which we are acquainted. It is of excellent qual- 

 ity, sweet, tender and delicious and its only fault is the immense size of 

 the ears, which are about twelve inches long and sixteen or eighteen rowed. 

 Plant very large, about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c;

CORN SALAD— Fetticus, or Lamb's Lettuce 



A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The 

 leaves are used as a substitute for lettuce and spinach. During August and 

 September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, covering 

 with about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. On the approach 

 of severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will 

 also do well if the seed is sown very early in the spring and like most salad 

 plants, are greatly improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground 

 can scarcely be made too rich for them. The seed we offer is extra cleaned, 

 quite different from much that appears on the market. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;
