SWEET OR TABLE VARIETIES— Continued 



I7^»..«r'<» r<>»Kr Vmr^^^^^^^ 7^^^ excellent sort, introduced by us in 1898, 

 rerry S Hariy E*Vergreen has proven its merit as the best evergreen 



strain that is distinctly earlier than Stowell's. The strain we offer has to a 



remarkable degree, all the quaUties that have made Stowell's Evergreen the 



leading main crop sweet corn for so long a time. The ears of Ferry's Early 



Evergreen are about seven to seven and one-half inches long, with fourteen to 



twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep, white grain of the very best 



quality. Stalks about six and one-half to seven feet high. A very desirable 



main crop variety for home garden and market, and well adapted for canning.

CORN SAL AD— Fetticus or Lamb's Lettuce 



This is 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 spring and like most salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on very rich soil. The seed 

 we offer is extra cleaned. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
