Early Sweet or Sugar 



Ears long, slender, eight-rowed. Grain very 

 white, tender and sugar j'; plant about six feet 



high, productive, hardy and quite early. An old but excellent table sort. 



Our stock is distinct and true, and not siich a mixture of all sorts of early 



sweet or sugar corn as is often offered under this name. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; 



Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 76c; Bushel $4.00 



Pi>rrv'« HvKriH This is a very popular eastern variety. Stalks about six 



rCrry > liyuiiu feet high, bearing two large, twelve or fourteen-rowed

Mnnro*< F;irlv CnnrnrH Stalk about six feet high, bearing near its 

 /'lUUl c » Lai ly v»uiicuiu base large, fourteen to sixteen-rowed ears 

 of short, very white, square grain, similar to that of Crosby's Early and of 

 the same splendid quality. It is an excellent second early sort either for the 

 garden or the canning factory. Pkt. 10c; Pt. loc; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c;

Rl;irk MpvirAn "^^^^ corn, when in condition for the table, cooks remark- 

 LliaciX /TicAli/dll ably white, but the ripe grain is black or bluish-black. 

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

 considered by many the most desirable of the second early sorts. It does 

 especially well for second early in the south. Stalk about six feet high.

HifknY Hvhrifl Earlier than StowelPs Evergreen, and forms a long, cyl- 

 I liLi\UA ;l tylJi lU indrical and very attractive ear of very white and hand- 

 some grain. It is one of the best varieties for canners' use. By planting it 

 at the same time as Stowell's Evergreen the season will be lengthened con- 

 r siderably, as the Hickox will be about through by the time Stowell's Ever 

 green comes in. Very prolific; about six and one-half feet high, and ordi- 

 narily every stalk will have two large, fully developed ears. Crop failed. 



OIH Cfllfinv This variety differs from the Evergreen in that it is a little ( 

 V/IU V-»UIUIij sweeter and richer in quality, but does not remain so long in 

 condition for use. Stalks about six and one-half feet high, usually bearing 

 two large, sixteen to twenty-rowed ears. The planter may be sure of a great i ^ 

 number of marketable ears and as great weight of corn "per acre as can be \ 

 produced by any variety. We do not know of any kind of late corn more \ 

 valuable for the home or market garden than our improved strain of this \ 

 ' splendid sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.50 



f fklinfrv ripnllpiYt;!!! This variety has a small,, white cob, densely cov- 



\.yUUIiliy VJclltlClliail erg(j ^^ith irregular rows of very long, slender, 



white grains which are of excellent quality. Stalks from six and one-half to 



seven feet high. By many it is regarded as the best of the late varieties.

We have tested many samples of Ever- 

 green Corn that were claimed to be earlier 

 than Stowell'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 Stoweli's Evergreen and to remain in condition 

 quite as long. The ears are large, with sixteen to twenty more or less irreg- 

 ular rows with very long grain which is of the very best quality. The plants 

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

 StowelPs Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more uniform.

^inwpll*< Fv<>rdrPPn The standard main crop variety. It is hardy and 

 •jlUWCII > L.VCI ^1 Ct.ll productive, very tender and sugary, remaining a 

 long time in condition suitable for boiling. Our stock has been carefully 

 r grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a shorter grain and deteriora- 

 tion in the evergreen character of this best known of all late sorts. Height 

 about seven and one-half feet. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c;

 Mammnih This variety produces the largest ears of any sort with which 

 iTlallllllUlll ^Q are acquainted. It is of excellent quality, sweet, tender and 

 delicious, and its only fault is the immense size of the ear. Plant averages 

 about eight feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4. 50
