Sweet or Su^ar 



Culture— A rich, warm, alluvial soil is best, but excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, 

 ordinary soil if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. Give frequent and thorough but 

 shallow cultivation until the tassels appear.

White Cory 



The Largest and Best 

 Extra Early Sweet Corn 



The stalks are no larger than those of the AVhite Cob Cory, but each 



stalk furnishes two or more large, fine shaped ears which 



are fit for use before those of any other sort . 



The Ears are TweIve=Rowed, Very Symmetrical and 

 Handsome with no Opening Between the Rows at the Base. 



The grain is large, broad, very white and of remarkably 

 good quality for such an early sort.

Early Minnesota This old and deservedly popular 

 variety is one of the best early sorts, for the market and the 

 private garden. Stalks four to five feet high with no suckers 

 and bearing one or two ears well covered with husks; ears 

 long, eight-rowed; kernels very broad, sweet and tender, 

 not shrinking much in drying. By careful selection we have 

 developed a stock of this standard vai'iety which is remark- 

 ably uniform, and in which all the good qualities that have 

 made this variety so popular are intensified. Pkt. 10c:

Perry's Hybrid This is a very popular Eastern variety. 

 Stalks of medium height, bearing two large, twelve or four- 

 teen rowed ears, which often have a red or pink ceb : grain 

 medium sized, cooking very white and tender. Matures a 

 little later than the Minnesota. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c:

Early Sweet or Sugar Ears long, slender, eight- 

 rowed. Grain very white, tender and sugary; plant pro- 

 ductive, hardy and quite earlj'. An old but excellent table 

 sort. Our stock is distinct and true, and not such a mix- 

 ture of all sorts of early sweet or sugar corn as is often 

 offered under this name. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c;

Corn, Mammoth White Cory. 



Black Mexican This corn when in condition for the 

 table cooks remarkably white, but the ripe grain is black or 

 bluish-black. It is surpassed by none in tenderness. 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. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c;

titi 



We have tested many samples of Evergreen Corn that were claimed to be earlier than StowelPs Evergreen, and to be 

 just as good, but we tiave never found any of them valuable. For the past six years we have been developing this variety 

 which we offer with the statement, backed by careful tests made both in the trial grounds and in the field, that 



IT WILL FURBISH EARS FIT FOR USE MUCH EARLIER THAN STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. 



The ears are like the Evergreen, very large, with about eighteen, more or less irregular rows and a very long grain which is 

 of the very best quality. It remains in condition for use longer than other sorts, exceeding the Stowell's in this respect. 

 The plant and ear would be pronounced by observers to be a fine stock of the old variety though fit for use one to two weeks
