SUGAR CORN. 



EXTBA I:ABI.Y dBOSBY'S DWARP 

 SUGAB. — This is a very tender variety and 

 of excellent quality. Ears small, but very 

 sweet. It is not so extensively planted as 

 it deserves to be. 



NE FZiUS UI.TRA OB SHOE PEG 

 SUGAB. — Is some three to five days earlier 

 than Country Gentleman Corn, which is as 

 late as Stowell's Evergreen. It has very 

 small cob, long- grain, shape of shoe peg-s. 

 It is very sweet and tender and larg-ely 

 used by market men in the larg-e cities of 

 this country. 



COUNTBY GENTLEMAN. — A remark- 

 ably satisfactory and delicious corn for 

 family use. The ears are grood sized and 

 produced in g-reat abundance, many stalks 

 bearing- four plump ears. Its long-, small, 

 milky kernels are full of s-weetness, and as 

 the cob is small, and the corn white and 

 tender, it is sure to please. Recommended 

 by the Louisiana Agrricultural Experiment 

 Station for canning. 



FIBST IN THE MABKET SUGAB.— It 



is fully two weeks earlier than Extra Early 

 Crosby and nearly a week earlier than any 

 Corn. It is a g-ood producer, more prolific 

 than Extra Early Crosby's, the ears are 

 somewhat larger and the kernel of a pale, 

 pinkish color, some of the ears run entirely 

 white, while others again are of a deep 

 pink. The stalks grow larger than the 

 Crosby's, almost as tall as Stowell's Ever- 

 green, and produce two ears each. 



GOIiDEN BANTAM. — This we consider 

 the ideal Corn for the home garden. It is 

 comparatively a new variety that already 

 has won for itself the highest mention in 

 nearly every seed catalog. For sweetness 

 and richness of flavor it has no equal. It 

 is a hardy, early maturing variety of very 

 dv.arf growth and can, therefore, be 

 planted closer than other sorts and through 

 a longer range of season. The cob is 

 small, but fills out nicely with large, deep, 

 cream-colored kernels, which turn to yellow 

 when entirely ripe. Our seed is northern 

 grown, which assures the highest standard 

 of vitality and permits of very early plant- 

 ing. No family garden should be without 

 a plot of this excellent Corn. 



STOWELL'S EVEBGBEEN SUGAB. — 



This is the best of all Sugar Corn. It is 

 early, the ears of large size and are well 

 filled. It remains green longer than any 

 other variety, and is quite productive. The 

 cultivation of this excellent cereal, as well 

 as all other Sugar Corn, is much neglected, 

 yet why people will plant common field 

 corn for table use considering size instead 

 of quality we cannot understand. Recom- 

 mended by the Louisiana Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station for canning. 



EABLY SUGAB OB NEW ENGLAND.— 



A long eight-rowed variety, which succeeds 

 the Extra Early sorts. Desirable kind. 



SWEET 

 CORN. 



Steckler's Prench Market. 



STECELEB'S PBENCH MABHET. — A 



white variety about one week later than 

 Large Adams'; it comes between Large 

 Adams' and White St. Charles; well filled 

 large ear. Recommended highly for family 

 use, and used largely by market gardeners. 



PBOTSCHEB'S ADAMS' EABLY 



L A B G E. — This is almost exclusively 

 planted for the first roasting ears by the 

 market gardeners. The ears are of good 

 size, but otherwise for the table only same 

 as common corn. Strange to say, the gar- 

 deners do not plant any sugar corn for the 

 market. We sell thousands of bushels of 

 St. Charles and other varieties of field corn 

 to be planted for market, to be sold green. 



WHITE TUSCABOBA.— This variety is 

 becoming a great favorite in the South 

 because of the fact that it as sweet as 

 sugar corn, with ears much longer, and 

 fully as early as the Early Evergreen or 

 ten days earlier than the Stowell's Ever- 

 green. It has 8 or 10 rows of cream white 

 colored corn. We cannot recommend a bet- 

 ter roasting ear than this corn and we feel 

 that it will please you if planted for home 

 use and will please your customers in the 

 market, if you are planting for profit. 



ADAMS' EXTBA EABLY.— The earliest 

 kind, but ears are small and not as desir- 

 able as the Adams' Early, which follows 

 this variety closely in maturity.
